I'm never buying a used spaceship again

1. [General mingle/volunteer]
The battle may be over, but there's a lot of work to be done. Good news! The entire 50,000 person population of South Ataria made it to shelters, and are now being safely extracted. Bad news: The Prometheus and Daedalus, two large UN spacy warships that were in the ocean around South Ataria, have had their entire crews killed by the sudden shift from south pacific oceans to deep space. They were naval ships, not space ships, after all.

So there's a lot of work to be done, some grim, some happy. Happy: rescuing survivors and getting them moved onto the Macross. Grim: Clearing the corpses out of the Prometheus and Daedalus so they can be docked with the Macross and their materiel taken aboard. Happy: rebuilding Macross City inside the Macross. Whatever you end up helping out with, there's a hell of a lot to be done! It'll get easier with time as the citizens of Macross City start to help out, but at first there's an almost insurmountable amount of stuff to be done.

Also, the ship is currently parked on an island, floating in space. That's probably worth noting too.

2. [Talk to the bridge crew; specify if you want, otherwise random.]
Being military people and all, you can probably catch one of the bridge crew at some time and pester them for answers about the Fold Drive and...well, everything that just happened. That said, they're all pretty busy now, so it'll be hard to find them off duty.

This way! This way, please!

[Red Five moves around as its core only - basic humanoid form without any weapons or equipment. Izuru shows the way to the civilian survivors, but is sometimes forced to use his AHSMB's own hands to carry them to the destination.]

[Seeing Izuru work like that, Kei puts a bit more effort into directing survivors who show up on foot. She doesn't quite look like she's comfortable with the job, but at least she tries to smile reassuringly.]

Please, just follow Red-5's directions. It is there to make sure someone can show the way without getting lost in the crowds.

[herodrawing]

[When there's a free second, Izuru suddenly talks on a private line.]

Maybe I should've made a sign?

[majestic_keiki]

Maybe. Or perhaps have asked to have one assigned to you. But we'll just have to have to make do with what we have.

[Kei fell silent for a moment, looking at the seemingly endless line of people in front of her.]

There are so many of them.

[herodrawing]

It's the whole city. If Macross didn't fold out to save them, they'd be all...

[majestic_keiki]

Yeah...[Like Izuru she was fine with not finishing the sentence.]

And they still need help putting their lives back together after losing their homes like that.

[herodrawing]

Everyone came to the city for a big opening. That's not the kind of opening they expected.

It's just... unfair! I won't forgive this!

[majestic_keiki]

You won't have to. We will face them to defend the Earth at some point or another.

[herodrawing]

I guess you are right, Kei.

Another of humanity's enemy? They never said a hero's job would be easy.

[majestic_keiki]

We're soldiers, not heroes.

But the odds really do look terrible.

[herodrawing]

Let's try to be heroes anyway. The odds looked bad at Nora too, but we won.

Which means humanity didn't lose yet.

[majestic_keiki]

Right, but that doesn't mean it looks good yet.

[herodrawing]

W... well! Let's worry about one thing at a time, for now.

[majestic_keiki]

True. Which is to get these people guided to their new quarters. At least the stream seems to be slowing down.
