LOTUS Part One: A Space Colony RP

(Hm.. Holographic projector huh? The swarm can alter my appearance on it's own. Can't let them know that. I'll play along and use it to cover the apertures and my complexion. Once I have a moment alone I'll break it down and use the swarm in it's place.) he thinks to himself while looking at the gizmo handed to him.

"Emissions? Like, gas? Or radiation? But, does that really matter with me? Er, us? Weren't we all specially modified to deal with weird stuff like that? That's what I gathered from what they said." Still avoiding eye contact and looking around the empty path, she asks "And didn't they tell us to 'reconnect' or whatever? How are you going to do that alone, in the dark?"

"So make one to go to. Geez, it's not that hard to figure out," she replied. "Well, whatever, I'm gonna go do what they said, since I actually want the money they're offering." Finished, she starts walking down the road, pulling up her computer display and establishing an internet connection.
Damn. To think, he wants to be alone. Weirdo. I guess we're similar though.

"Money is meaningless." Manhattan walked after Kyrie. "I need no food, no shelter, no belongings."

"If you want me to endanger the lives of countless innocents, then bringing me anywhere is a bad idea." Manhattan sighed as he hugged a wall. "I'm not going."

"Pointless." Manhattan spoke monotonously. "I damage botany as well."

Anthea explained the attributes of the hologram projector as she and Ronald continued.

"There are civilian level hologram projectors, which anyone can use, and so anyone can also use anti-hologram glasses to see through them. It's an interesting social dynamic actually, you should see people stumble over whether or not to bring them on dates. Anyways, the ones that we use can't be seen through so easily, unless you're a Draxan or your vision has been augmented like ours have been. Basically, don't worry about setting off alarms anywhere. It will protect you."

Arriving at a hologram of New Earth.

"Since we're a colony, new arrivals might be kind of suspicious. Luckily we can fake all the paper work. You can live anywhere you want. Just let us know what we can do to help create your new identity."

A similar speech was given to Kyrie and Manhattan, only their map showed just Brittania. After asking where Kyrie wanted to live, the Draxan continued a bit further and addressed Manhattan.

"We appreciate your trying to protect the citizens of the colony, but we also know that humans, like draxans, are social creatures who may become uncomfortable in isolation. Aboard the Fantasia we can create shielding for your radioactivity if that is your main concern. We also have access to a much higher grade of plutonium and polonium so you may nourish yourself without disrupting the balance of the colony's engine."

"I understand. The cluster-type cognition is a difficult thing to warp one's mind around at the start. You'll get used to it in time."

Anthea's officiating demeanor never wavered as she manipulated the holograms to show her home in Sakura.

"You can stay here for a while, but please do come to New Earth soon. We want you to see what humanity has become. Even hurtling through space, we've managed to survive and flourish. Here. This is where I live. You're welcome to stay close by later if that makes you feel more comfortable."

"I would learn how to relax if I didn't have to worry about a dirty monkey," Brooke told Phil. "On a serouis note where are we heading again?" Brooke asked. "I kinda of forgot where we are going," Brooke said kinda of embarrassed.
