Jim leads the way to the DT-Sct room.

"I suppose it would be silly of me to ask if anyone else thinks this is weird."

-snip-
Make sure we don't forget to take the cubes; memorise which cube corresponds to which person.

Jim does this as well while making sure to keep a good hold on his own cube with at least three hands at all times.

As I said, 'Corps service keeps interesting. Though I fully expect that wherever our help with repairs is needed, the place will feature quite hazardous conditions.
But - yeah, a bit weird.
Follow Jim. Make sure we don't forget to take the cubes; memorise which cube corresponds to which person.

[Caellath]

"Not weird, just new. is Milno's answer to Jim's comment. "Finding something I can consider strange is getting harder by the day."

To DT-Sct, hold onto cube.

[Knight Otu]

"Doesn't yet beat light that runs out of gas after a few meters. But then, we haven't really started."

Hold on to my cube, and follow Jim.

[Pancaek]

"I like this cube, I'm calling him Sir Manfred"

Hold Sir Manfred close. Caress cube lightly. follow Jim.

[piecewise]

The team wanders down the hall, clutching their metal encased cubes to their chests, until they find the door marked DT-Sct. Inside that room is another man and a set of chairs, and another control panel. The machinery and electronics around the chairs is greater is quantity for these particular machines; a maze of metal, circuitry and wires, all clustered around each chair.

"Alright, This is going to be a dry test of the system which you'll all be using to interface with the target. We're just gonna run some standard drills, work with some simulated situations, and get you all working together. Just chose a chair and put your NID cube in the slot under the right armrest. We'll get going once you're all seated."

[Caellath]

"Sure."

Follow instructions.

[Nikitian]

Do as told. Get seated.
(( I wonder, is there any particular purpose to these 'action breaks'? Apart from cutting the introductory sequence into sizeable chunks of text, that is. Are they there to give us the opportunity to mess with the processes, like, don't know, go postal out of the blue or  mix up the cubes so that no one knew which is theirs?
Or maybe they are there for us to start disbelieving/resisting as soon as possible, before it's actually too late for that?))

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jim got seated, placing himself in the chair to the left of Milno. (Just in case placement matters.)

[Toaster]

((I assume it gives you chances to socialize/ask questions/generally RP.  Also, pacing.))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(Basically, drama then? Works for me. ^^^)

[Nikitian]

(( Ah, right. Completely forgot about that part; yeah, I'm cool with it too.
Just.. trying to be slightly paranoid ever since the Armory Master's training ))

[Knight Otu]

Get seated, next to Maurice if possible, and follow the instructions.

[Pancaek]

"Looks like it's time for business, Sir Manfred." He turns to the others "Good luck guys"

Get seated and follow instructions

[piecewise]

The team gets into place, loads up their cubes and gets strapped in. The machines immediately hook up to the nerve nodes and automated injection systems flood fleshy bodies with drugs. Jim has to get a personal cocktail from the technician before he's under with the rest of the team.

Consciousness is replaced by a dreamlike state, an infinite expanse of white. In in this expanse floats the 5 members of the team, incorporeal masses of vague consciousness, a glowing core of awareness wrapped in a haze of half formed ideas. Faces, hands, objects, whatever they think of briefly and incompletely forms from the haze around their core before collapsing back into the abyss of mindlessness.  Chin is much larger then the others, a chaotic mass of 20 or 30 glowing masses.

The technician's voice filters in from far away.

"Ok. This is a blank neural interface. We use it as a test ground to let people get accustom to the system. Now, I want you to try and form those consciousness projections into some more definite shape. Doesn't matter what it is, you can turn yourself into a horse for all it matters."
