New kid on the block
WHO: Ezra and anyone, shipmates especially welcome
WHERE: Network and hangar
WHAT: Introductions and settling in
WHEN: Mid Feb/first few days after Ezra arrives
WARNINGS: Some discussion of violence and body horror

So, I'm new. My name's Ezra Bridger. I'm from Lothal, if you know where that is.
Mr. Vanth recommended I go by the hangar, so I'll be doing that in a little while, if you want to say hello face to face. It looks like I'm assigned to the Vanquish. Whatever that means, in a practical sense.
I guess my first question is - what needs doing around here? I have some experience scavenging and setting up base in only sort of habitable spots, but this situation doesn't quite fit anything I've done before.
How are we doing on, oh, food?
B. Hangar
He can see why people might congregate here. It's a relatively enclosed, defendable space, and the ships have systems that are probably easier to maintain than the entire infrastructure of a mostly abandoned city. And it's familiar to him, too, sharing ships about this size with a handful of people.
On the other hand, before he joined the crew of the Ghost, he'd had an entire communications tower to himself. It had taken him a while to get used to sharing a cabin with Zeb, and adjusting to all the demands of being part of a crew.
He hasn't made up his mind, which living situation he's leaning towards, here and now. He plans to pitch in, regardless, that's nothing wrong with having some space to himself again.
Once he actually lets himself onto the Vanquish, he's very open about looking around, and a little more cautious about touching than he'd been years ago, the first time he really was on a ship. Years of Hera being particular about her ship have made their mark.
Anyone he come across, he tries to shoot them a friendly smile.

That wasn't in the info that got zapped into his brain on arrival.

So, Keith gestured for Ezra to come into the Bloodsport with him and sit down.
"For what we actually did... we traveled around space, and always seemed to end up somewhere in a place that needed some sort of help. I don't know why, but we did a lot of problem solving. See, there was this main ship called the Marsiva that the smaller ships couldn't get further than a certain distance away from. We tried it. The ships would threaten to self-destruct if we got too close to the edge of the range, and no one actually tried to test how honest the automated message was being." Scary thought, yeah? Yeah. Keith led Ezra into the main lounge area and indicated he could sit, taking a seat himself.
"That ship controlled where we went, and the rest of the Fleet would sort of just follow. We had some freedom of movement within the range we were given, which was helpful during times when we were attacked by other fleets out in space. It gave us maneuvering room." He shrugged a little. "Either way, that's kind of what we did... like, just helping out and traveling around. And that seemed kind of weird and stuff in and of itself, but, the main purpose? We were apparently doing for the entertainment of other people." Keith frowned here, looking frustrated. "See, everything we did was apparently being broadcast out to other universes for them to watch... like a show."

"So, for all we know this could be...part two? It seems like this all works on similar principles. We supposed to help, but no one asked for us to volunteer. And the threat may not be as explicit, but we can't really leave the planet, and trying to split up just leaves us all more vulnerable."

"Yeah. I'm leaning toward the latter... but I'm not completely discounting the Agrii for potentially keeping us here regardless and just stringing us along."
He frowned, visibly someone who didn't trust lightly.
