[Good to see people starting to get along, but Lemme make an actual starter post to set you all down.

CASTLE: A NEW BEGINNING.
DAY 1
The first lesson that you learned about Akras is that they don't care. Not really.
For the Terran PC that was recruited in, you had been rushed through Orientation. You had just enough time to realize that things went terribly, terribly wrong when news got in that the world's governments have declared all of Akras as a Rogue State and encourage all the other Megacorps to cannibalize them. But by the time you heard of how Akras didn't gave two fuck and crumbstomp the initial governmental assault, you were already being put through decontaminations and brand new Akras uniform suit fresh from the press.
With the Company going loud, and you being put into a Gate team, they gave you a crash-course on what they've learned about Gaia. It's a different world or dimension, that much is clear. There are other people there, and there are monstrous things there. You will be taught how to shoot a gun, and you will be sent out to make a profit. Gather resources, intel and samples as mission required and you'll make your way up the ladder soon enough. For now, though? you're only very slightly better than fodder. In fact, compared to actual gate teams? you
are fodder. So better get started on changing that.
Oh also, you're going to be assigned to an off-world position on said alternate dimension/world babysitting a bunch of aliens, so yeah. Congratulations. No, this position is non-negotiable.
For Non-Terran, it doesn't matter if you're a human or not, they don't care. You're all Gaian in Akras's eyes, and that means that the orientation guys makes it very clear that you must not fuck with the company. Do not steal from the company, do not try to harm the company, do not even try to run away with the company's stuff. The moment you signed that papers, your literal ass is the company's now. Try to start shit and you WILL be taken out the back and shot then have your body dissected for scientific purposes. They didn't give you any uniforms, but slapped a big patch onto your existing cloths with the same emblem/icon as their own, says it's Akras's logo and you're told to keep them on you and visible at all times.
Then it's down to the showers, where you were sprayed by the mass with both hot and cold water using high-powered sprinklers, then air-dried for several minutes with turbines in the walls. It was very scary and confusing but you were assured that it's harmless and they just wanted to 'decontaminate' you, whatever that meant.
Afterwards each one of you were led as four long lines through a building, the inside were the whitest and brightest you've ever experienced in your life, there were more humans there in white garbs and coats, wearing masks over their mouths and noses. Once it was your turn, you were told by the human in white to stick your arm inside some sort of an opening to a contraption, it was even scarier than the showers but they were at least honest and said that this is going to hurt. But it was for your own good as this will also vaccinate you to keep you from dying over modern super-evolved diseases.
The whole process only took five seconds, but boy did it hurt. Once it was done, you removed your arm from the contraption to find a new tattoo on it! They said this was to further identify you. You guess that must be right, since you've never seen such Tattoos before.
Once done, you were moved through to the next room inside the same building, which you admit is one of the largest structure you've ever seen in your life and it's still not even the biggest one inside the new compound. Each one of you were handed what looked like a shiny metal ingot about the size of your palm, but it's far too light to be metal. Then some sort of a small rectangular box of the same size, they're both very colourful to your eyes. With the Ingot having an image of an honestly delicious-looking soup with chunky meat cubes in it and the box an image of a translucent mug of sort with golden yellowish liquid inside, if it weren't for it being surrounded by apples, you might've been alarmed. It appears to come with it's own tube of sort and the top have a small target-like circle that seems weaker than the rest of the box itself.
Of course, there are some sort of letters on them but you couldn't read Terran.
After you were handed the ingot and bar, you were ushered off and separated into groups and given designations. The PC are Designated Auxiliary Gate Team 47 or AGT.0047 and are told to remember it.
And this is where they said that you'll be meeting your Terran handlers, and will be where Terran PCs have been told to wait for their Auxiliary attachment.
Everyone is now together in the same spot inside the Logistics building, your first given task is to head to your assigned squad room, learn how to cook and consume the given ingot and box, familiarize yourselves with the equipment for general living inside said room such as the microwave, fridge, showers, sink, water boiler, etc and learn the layout between your squad room, the logistics building and mission control building. The Terran PCs are assigned with teaching your new Gaian squadmates how to live like a normal Terran human being. Your rooms are expected to stay relatively clean, laundry is twice a week and trash incineration is every sunday.
Post-Adjustment briefings starts tomorrow morning, do not be late.
@Everyone, please make a post of your character's general reaction, actions, speech and thoughts from process up to this point where you're together waiting to head to your squad room. End with your greetings and introduction to the squad, please get to know each others and talk until everyone have posted their experiences facing all of this then you may proceed towards your room to continue learning/teaching even more.
