Alright, cool.

*considering* Does this thing have any kind of escape pods?


Yeah, we'll say there are six escape pods in the hangar, which is on the opposite side of the ship from the cargo bay they are in. Although the Inquisitor's Fleet is currently being used to ferry the Candidates, some of the ships are occasionally used to transport non-prisoners who are allies to the Beyonder's cause, so the ships have escape pods just in case.

Terra is going to try and get to the bridge. Are they in space, or between dimensions?


They are currently traversing space but are about to come to a stop at the Inquisitor's Citadel, which is a domed estate sitting on an asteroid. The Inquisitor is moments away from beaming onto the ship, and will do so in my next post. Since the Arishem-Exar suffered the malfunction, the Inquisitor and his forces will visit that ship first. If anyone wants to avoid a fight, use the escape pods to flee the ship. Fair warning, it's going to be intense.
Moving forward I'm not going to try and control the overall narrative of the entire group. I'll leave it up to each character to decide whether they want to join America's quest to stop the Beyonder or go off and do their own thing. I'm just going to focus on my characters and what they are doing and people can either tag along or write their own stories set within this continuity.
Okay, edits made. Everyone's powers are returning so feel free to escape however you can. If the characters get separated, we can rendezvous at some other location or whatever.
Actually, scratch that. I don't really want to be caught up between trying to hold the story for those who haven't posted yet and keeping it moving for those who don't want to wait. I'm scrapping my idea for Doctor Strange rescuing them and instead letting everyone decide on their own how they want to escape. I'll edit my post to remove the mention of the aux dampeners.
I don't really see the point in posting anything if we've just been knocked unconscious again.


Not unconscious, just weakened. But there's not much to post anyway while we're waiting for the rest of the group, and most of the fifteen minutes until the Inquisitor arrives has been used up based on how much conversation has happened between them since awakening. However, if you're still wanting to write something, you can detail out how your characters react to the momentary return of some of their powers, like maybe they try to make a run for an exit or find escape pods or whatever and then when the Auxiliary Power Dampeners kick on, they get hit with the wave of exhaustion and stumble to a halt.
Plus we have to wait for the rest of the group to post before we actually make our escape. Minor spoiler: The the Central Power Dampener malfunctioning is part of Doctor Strange's attempt to free them. He can't open a portal onto the ship while it was active, and now him and an "associate" are currently working on remotely taking out the aux ones as well.
I wish you'd left out that last line to give us a chance to do something.


Don't worry, it will make sense in my next main post. ;)
Okay, short post up. Oh, and I only used the character title images in my intro post since I'll also be writing NPCs and stuff, but everyone else can use them or not use them, I am cool either way.
“It is quite odd that they have normal hinged doors on a spaceship, isn’t it?” Loki wondered out loud after they were done using the washrooms. “Anyway, I agree with Iron Lad, we need to focus on our escape.”

When Billy gave his hero name, Teddy decided to do the same. “I also go by Kid Hulk, but you might not be able to tell because… Oh shit…” He looked down and realized his skin was green, meaning his glamour ring was failing. But a second later, the illusion was restored again. Then it began to come and go in quick succession, and he looked over to see Loki’s cloaked bag was flickering in and out of sight as well. “Odd.”

“Yup,” America responded to Terra’s question about being on a spaceship, raising her hand. Teddy focused back on the group and raised his hand as well.

The group realized they could feel their strength returning, and then an alarm started blaring and the computerized voice returned over the intercom. “Warning! Warning! Malfunction detected in Central Power Dampener!”

“Shit, now’s your chance!” America cried out, realizing they had some of their powers back, yet she still could not summon her portals. “You all have to get out of here! Speed, I’m assuming you’re a speedster, right? Quick! Scope out the vessel and see if there are any escape pods! I still can’t seem to open portals, but you all can still get away!”

“What about you?” Loki inquired.

“I’m not going anywhere. I intend to face the Beyonder head on! Now hurry!”
So we're just waiting on Sanity and Martian. I am going to throw in another tiny post though while we wait.
