Sync comms with anyone I've not synced comms with yet. Find them if necessary.
Carmen decides that syncing comms with John and Jasmine is a good idea. As Kiran has opened his tube but not exited, she decides that she will wait until he is ready to go to sync comms. [4] She maneuvers towards John and Jasmine by pushing off the wall towards the corner, approximating the amount of distance she needed to travel, and pushing off with the needed amount of speed. She gently bumps into Jasmine, and attempts to sync comms with John. However, just as she's about to do so, she hears Eric shout over the comms "OH SH-", before he comes flying in at high speed and crashes into her, sending her into the wall. [5] She manages to recover instantly and uses this advantage to assist Eric, stopping him from smashing face-first into the same wall.
Whoops. My previous post was meant to be addressed to Carmen. Will fix that.
Finish the action I posted last turn.
Eve enters the comms room and, after a bit of poking around on the comms terminal, finds an information in what is referred to as a "Packet." Some information is enclosed in text, which is labeled "Read upon planetfall". There is also a media file stored, which she plays now. On a small holographic screen, a three-dimensional image of a man appears. "Greetings, astronauts. I am Colonel Rett of the U.S.A.S.A military, specializing in the astronautical division. In other words, I'm your commanding officer. Now, you've just been asleep for one year. While you were asleep, much has developed on Earth. Most importantly, we've done some tests on Cryo-Stasis, and discovered some worrying details. Apparently individuals subjected to Cryo-Sleep for long periods of time suffer some temporary memory loss as their brain frantically tries to figure out what the hell is going on. We've worked out the kinks in the system and have changed the code for all of our cryo-stasis pods back on Earth, but yours still need to be re-coded. Please see attached file #543 for the code, and instructions on where to replace it. In other news, the people's republic of Soviet Korrusia has dissolved, sending Eastern Asia into anarchy. I envy you up on that shuttle. Actually, never mind, I don't. It seems that a shuttle launched by a hostile nation, lightly manned and moving fast, is nearing your ship. When you wake up, it will be a mere two days away from intercepting. They'll likely try to board and seize the ship. As they are such a short distance away, reentering cryostasis would be foolish. Just rest in the ships dormitory when you grow tired, until the threat has been dispatched. Please record a video packet reporting your situation and we will get back to you within the hour."
Sync comms, dammit! Jasmine stares at John in bemusement for a few moments. "I'm starting to wonder if you're actually qualified to be on this mission in the first place."
Jasmine attempts to sync comms with John, but just before John finishes syncing comms with her Carmen bumps gently into Jasmine, coming to a stop. Jasmine gives Carmen a thumbs up, seconds before Eric comes flying out of nowhere and collides with Carmen, sending both Carmen and Eric into the wall. Jasmine releases Carmen to avoid her from spinning off too, so her and John remain unaffected. While Carmen and Eric resolve their little collision, Jasmine syncs comms with John.
Get over to Jasmine & John and sync comms before quickly checking John's shoulder.
Eric tries to leap over to Jasmine, John, and now Carmen, [1] but overestimates the amount of power necessary to push off the wall. He rockets towards Carmen and only has time to scream a warning of "OH SHI-" before colliding. The next few seconds were blurry for him, but he eventually realizes Carmen saved him from smashing face-first into the wall. Phew.
