| Learning the Basics:
Please proceed to your chambers. Before you disembark from the Titan you must learn more about the Game and its inhabitants. An Administrator will teach you this basic information and provide you with additional resources. It is highly advised you learn more.
Once you complete this task you may then disembark when the Titan arrives at Khersath (Est.: 22 days remaining), teleport to a nearby major city or be granted passage onboard another ship to your home planet, Earth. Should you fail to learn the material in time, you will be required to proceed to an Administrative Center and continue studying there to complete the task. |
An icon appeared on Alan’s minimap, designating where on board the ship his quarters were. Alan exited the capsule room, intending to make his way there, when he was abruptly stopped by the two Haxlard guards who had initially led everyone to the capsule room when they first boarded. Had they been standing here the entire time?
“Please follow us, the captain would like to speak with you,” one said. It was a bit unnerving, being unable to see either of their faces due to their blue armor and faceplates.
“Uh, sure,” Alan said, wondering what Pharaoh wanted.
Alan followed the Haxlards through the narrow grey hallways of the ship, realizing for the first time how massive it was. If Eve’s minimap was to be believed, it was bigger than the largest of aircraft carriers, around 500 meters in length. The majority of the rooms were closed off, but Alan passed by what were appeared to be mess halls, a hangar of some sort and a med-bay. They were making their way to the center of the ship; Eve wasn’t allowed access to what was in most of the rooms here.
They passed by a number of Haxlards, yet Alan didn’t see any of the others. They were probably all trying to complete the same “Learning the Basics” quest. The majority of Haxlards had the same blue faceplates and armor that the guards had, but there were a few green masked Haxlards carrying around devices of one sort or another. Alan caught a glimpse of a single group of Haxlards wearing grey armor and masks similar to the one that had tried to assassinate the Predecessor, but as soon as they noticed him looking at them they vanished.
The leading guard shook his head and muttered something about white masks. They soon arrived at their destination, labeled simply as the bridge on Alan’s minimap. According to Eve, it was the command center of the ship. Standing guard by the entrance were two Haxlards a good two feet taller than any of the others. They wore pitch-black armor with blood-red, tinted faceplates. One mask had a single stripe on it while the other was unblemished. Alan was allowed to enter the bridge, while the two guards who had escorted him were not.
