OOC NOTES: This is a starter log to help kick off the event. Feel free to use or post your own!

The transport process isn’t a fun one. Captured Metas are outfitted with power-nullifying handcuffs and collars, chained into the back of a heavily armored prison transport vehicle. Normally there’s a huge procession that goes alone with this: more back up vehicles, overhead support, government loyal metals in every vehicle. But this rush of new arrivals has pushed the system to its limits- there’s never been a need to accommodate more than a specific number of known Metas. It has the guards in the vehicles on edge, jumpy as they try to navigate through the City without the usual back up. And it’s a strain the resistance is more than ready to push to the breaking point.

In addition to transporting new arrivals to their reprogramming, there are the already-present Meta prisoners that must still be shuffled around, causing a mix of old and new in the vehicles. And irresistible targets for liberation for the resistance groups. When the transport is hit, which will the new Metas side with? Your captors you may still be able to gain a comfortable life working with? Or the rebellion fighting their way into the vehicle?

"Finding a place would be great," Jacob says, looking around them for signs of approaching helicopters or armoured cars or jetpack troops or whatever hostile reinforcements look like in this universe. "I've got no idea how to navigate this place. Didn't exactly have a chance to find a map before they stuffed me in a van."

He scowls for a moment.

"But I did catch that this is called The City. Just that. Like the place that Atropos destroyed."

It's the imPort equivalent of waking up in Atlantis - a mythical lost city famed for the disaster that befell it. Part of him is still hoping it's a particularly bad dream.

"The place Ruka is from. She's here too. We just need to meet up - but we need to do it subtly. They know her here."

That alone is enough to send a frisson of fear through him. He doesn't know what they'd do to her. More than that, he has an idea of some things they could do to her, and if they do, he doesn't think he'd be able to control what he does next. He looks around them, still fretful.

"Khaji will be able to get a map for us. Whatever's on the internet, anyway. But if this really is the City, then -- that means I was here too."
