JANUARY SWEAR-IN: DEATH ISLAND
WHO: Everyone!
WHERE:Death Sacrifice Island, New Zealand
WHEN: 13th January
WHAT: SWEARING-IN TIME, on the beautiful Island of New Zealand, Sacrifice Island.
WARNINGS: None so far
Welcome everyone to Sacrifice Island, once known as “Death Island” (and still called so by many). Located in the beautiful country of New Zealand, and under their government’s jurisdiction, Sacrifice Island is a place where investigation and scientific development happens: it’s the headquarters for Onward Research Station, laboratories that hope to learn how to neutralize the effects on humans/animals of chemical/biological weapons.
But this island holds dark history as well. It was in this very same place that seven young imPorts permanently lost their lives on October 3rd 2008. This tragedy deeply marked the history of United States and all Heroes of the nation, and is remembered with heavy heart. With hopes to never forget these painful events but to also look for a brighter future, United States of America and New Zealand both joined their hands and decided to raise a memorial for the lives lost at the island.
This memorial will be inaugurated on the 13th January along with the Swearing-In ceremony for the new heroes who have arrived this month. Media has been invited as well as this is too a political event to strengthen relationships between New Zealand and USA. Old and new imPorts are all welcome to come and pay their respects to the Heroes who are gone, swear their allegiance to the US government (or not), forge relations with a foreign country or simply show their presences during this event. Whatever reason one has, they will be welcomed.
TRAVEL
Thanks to the interest of many, an airbus has been generously loaned for free in order to fly the imPorts to Death Sacrifice Island. The airbus includes a dining area and each imPort has their own little cubicle, with chairs that can be converted into a bed. The trip will take a while for sure, so the travelers are welcome to mingle while they are on air, meet the new faces, and try some delicious airplane food. Or they can try sleeping, if other imPorts are quiet enough.
Because it's a long flight, there will be many movies to choose from: there is a strangely big collection of Adam Sandler movies, and apparently the big hit has both Adam Sandler AND Jerry Seinfeld and tells the story of a Wasp that falls in love with a Human, while it leads a rebellion against the humankind. If you aren't into Wasp movies, well- good luck picking something else that isn't as amazing.
ISLAND
Miss the hot summer weather? Well, New Zealand certainly has a lot of it to offer. The weather is the kind that would invite anyone for a swim, even though it’s not one of the activities offered during the Swear-In; in fact, the island has no beaches as it’s surrounded by cliffs. The island itself is beautiful, with a lot of greenery indigenous to the country, forming large forests through the island’s surface and surrounding the research center. There are no animals roaming around, with the exception of some birds (do not expect Kiwis, though), but imPorts are warned not to go too deep into the island’s forests or they might get lost.
At the east area of the island, stands the top of the art Onward Research Station, near the only beach the island offers. The airbus will land not too far away, in a small flight track that crosses the green forest, and imPorts will be directed to the center where they will be greeted by scientists, politicians and, of course, a lot of media.
Onward Research Station is white, clean, and shiny. Everything looks like it has been double or triple sterilized and visitors can almost see their reflections on every surface. The technology is probably the best you’d find in the entire nation: quick silent hoover carts that transport people and objects from a section to another, trays that hoover with food, snacks and drinks, and holograms of several scientists that made a difference while working at the Research Station can be found on specific marked areas. ImPorts that wish to know a bit more about the place will have the chance to press a button for a holographic guide who will tell them the story of the Center, their researches and hopes for the future.
However, since Onward focus on chemical and biological weapon studies, much of the area is very much Off Limits to prevent accidental contamination. There will be security (physical and electronically) to stop people from snooping around and causing huge accidents.
The center has allowed local tourism to be part of this. New Zealand certainly wishes to show their own culture, and thus there will be many who are eager to share it with the new comers. Talks of their fauna and flora, their national bird as well, history of Maori who voyaged across the Pacific, good old Rugby, and of course mentions of certain really popular fantasy movies that have been filmed there – one can certainly become immerse in this lovely world. Not so far away, there is also a buffet area with a lot of variety, all typical New Zealand dishes, including Maori dishes naturally. Try Hangi, or lamb, or delicious sea food, and end your meal with good wine and cheese.
Photographers, journalists, paparazzi will be everywhere. Not just for US ImPort Heroes, but due to the political connotations this meeting has as well. It’s no surprise that apart from “who are you wearing”, heavier and much more serious questions will be asked, involving politics, past events, current political feelings, where and for whom imPorts stand for.
The nearby beach isn’t amazing, but they worked really hard to change that. The whole area was cleaned as well, with new, white and shiny pavement that leads visitors to a special area: the memorial. There is a huge marble wall with the names of those imPorts who’ve lost their lives; there is a screen as well, and whenever someone touches one of the names said screen will activate show a video of the selected imPort while a voice tells the visitors a little about their life and death. Nearly, there is another holographic guide who, when activated, will tell the story of Death Island.
MEMORIAL
Anyone can access this history by checking out the Memorial, but in the afternoon, everyone will be invited to the beach. Here, imPorts and everyone else will be taught the dark history of the island by a spokeswoman dressed in white, while the screen on the Memorial Marble wall shows the lost imPorts.
“A scientist who held hatred for the imPorts used this island as his private base of operations, where he built a deadly ray and threatened to use this weapon against the United States. Seven imPorts heroically followed to investigate, only to find this ray permanently end their lives. These heroes and their tragic deaths are today remembered by us all, a memory of a dark and sad past – but we too hold on to hope, hope their deaths were not in vain, and hope we can rebuild and move forward.”
The speech is met with solemn nods and soft applause, while the names of the Heroes show on the screen:
DAVID GREEN; Chosen, age 19
MAGENTA MOVELLO; Mauve Avenger, age 17
IRA BRAUNSTEIN; Power Prince, age 21
JUDE BYEON; Bludgeon, age 17
CAROL "CARRIE" KING; Reign, age 18
MASON LOCKLEAR; Entropy, age 16
MALIK ISAIAH MARCHETTI; Journey, age 40
After, the woman will give stand to few more people who will give their own words about the memorial and the events of Death Island, including a New Zealand Minister and also an imPort: Tohru Adachi.
Once speeches have been spoken, people are welcomed to leave white flowers near the marble wall and learn more about the personal lives of each lost hero by touching their names and watching the movie about each. For those who don’t wish to stick around, the buffet area is always open, and people are more than welcome to return to their activities.
RETURN
The event will be over late night, and all imPorts will be brought back to the airbus. Since there are records who came on the airbus, it’s better not to try to stay behind – as welcoming as they were, those who work at Sacrifice Island have no plans to accommodate everyone more than necessary.
Media will be the first to leave, followed by imPorts and finally every politician involved. Once up in the air, the airplane lights will be turned to minimum, to allow imPorts some well needed rest. That is, if they want. Sorry if your neighbor is noisy.

Kaneki
[ where to even start? Onward Research Station is a lot bigger than expected; very white too and because everyone is at the memorial, it's currently very silent as well. Almost feels like it'll echo the moment he gives a step.
The security guards walking around are easy to spot because of that too. Their steps can be heard a mile away, so moving in the opposite direction of them works - the issue is, of course, the cameras; Kaneki can hack them with ease, but he needs to approach the electronic panel to do that. Some...how... ] I need cover for this- [ someone has to distract the guards while he works ]
Sneaking in
[ he half-expected something amazing on those Off-Limits areas, but it looks like it's just more corridors and doors. Also silent. It seems like most did go to the memorial, which is good! It means they won't have to go to crazy lengths to hide as they go. But in the end, it's not like he exactly knows where to go. They didn't have any blueprints for the station, after all.
Find a computer is his first thought. Kaneki is a fighter or he will act as a hacker, and there isn't much more he can offer (like telepathy, which would be so useful right now), and to him that means probably opening door after door until he does. That will be a lot of work, though.
While he is trying to figure out what to do next there is a noise coming from behind a door. Like something breaking and then a gasp. Kaneki's eye fixate on that door for a second, before he looks back at the person next to him, to whisper: ] Do we want to see what just broke? [ they ARE in a place that does research bioweapons ]
Useful creepy powers
[ Kaneki found... the toilets. He has found a kitchen and a resting room, he has found a room with a lot of books (he's assuming that's a library of sorts), and though he did find few laboratories they didn't seem to be active in anyway, and now he found the toilets. He is sure this is the women's toilets too, because there are no urinals.
... why don't they put some identification on the doors. For some top of the art research center, they really didn't focus on directions.
Inside the toilets, the ghoul decides he needs a new approach because opening door after door sounds like wasted time. He hasn't tried his new powers just yet, but it appears it's now time to use them. Back home, they came to him naturally, but he really doesn't know if they are as stable in this world - hopefully he won't turn into a 10 feet centipede.
From Kaneki's lower back, a red tendril emerges - but it's not just any tendril. This one has eyes. Also a mouth. And the thing physically detaches itself from Kaneki's body, wriggling in the middle of the toilet. SORRY, YOU JUST WITNESSED SOMETHING GROSS BUT - ]
Alright, one extra spy.
HACKING CAMERAS
[Utena pulls a small black mask out of her pocket, and it would look like a cheap Halloween prop if not for the fabric. The color is so dark and deep that it's like staring into a void, and it slips through her fingers like quicksilver. She manages to get a hold of it and stick it over her face, and as soon as she presses it on, the transformation is immediate. Where sixteen year old Utena Tenjou once stood, there's now a plain looking adult woman in a labcoat and a pair of thick glasses. All that's left to do is pull out her lanyard from the airport, and when she places it over her neck, it turns into an ID badge with a photo of the mystery woman she's become. The text where her name, age, and other information is a blur, but if anyone tries to read it, they'll only be sucked deeper into the illusion]
All I have to do is tell them about some troublemakers at the other side of the lab, right? I mean, just a little while ago some imPort took one of our carts for a joy ride... it's just not safe here, you know?.
no subject
He watches Utena, letting her take the lead on this, and a nods ] Y-yes. [ he is still a bit surprised at that power, you can't blame him for it ]
I can disable the cameras fast, give me five minutes.
no subject
[All she has to do is shoo them away, right? Right. She walks forward with confidence in herself and her abilities, when another pair of footsteps can be heard walking towards her. Utena freezes up as she sees another doctor approach her. Where did he come from?!]
Excuse me, have we met, miss...?
Chida- Doctor Chida.
[She clears her throat, and dangles her nametag. Utena doesn't remember where the name comes from, exactly, but it's the first one that comes to mind, and anyway, she's got bigger things to worry about. The older man furrows his brow, before he blinks and nods in recognition]
Ah, yes, my apologies. Do you have a moment? There's something I need to discuss with you...
[Oh. Oh god. Well, first, the good news: her powers worked! The bad news: they worked just a little too well]
sneaking in
Do you need to keep looking? Whoever or whatever it is, I can maybe distract them.
no subject
I need to find a computer, at least... one connected to the whole system. [ kaneki looks back at the door. well- ] I guess we can have a peek, just to make sure there are no clones in there...
no subject
I'll go take a peek. [It's something he knows he can do, anyway.] You just go look through another, less occupied door, and if anything goes wrong, just—keep an ear out for a bird in the building, yeah? [And he very gently, with one hand on the hilt of his sword, nudges the door open enough to take a look at what's inside.]
