Welcome to Gaia! ::

How much does the public (that is, the people still on Earth) know about the disappearance of the 59 civilians? Are there search parties, or would it be okay to form those or reference them? Is it big news and all the buzz?

Akina: The newspapers would have covered it. Search parties, interviews -- all that good stuff. It will be huge news. Not as huge as the sleeping sickness (from the Tartaros metaplot), but definitely a big dela that can be referenced.

Do the Earth-bound Senshi and Negaverse know anything about the missing civilians?

Akina: If civilians know, then those powered characters know too! The senshi will be learning some more details after Zue sent out a text blast asking for their help. Whether or not they show up to learn more will determine exactly what they know. As for the Negas, time will tell.

Are there toilets in space, and if so, where does the poo go when you flush?

Akina: Your character must eat all of it. Just for asking this.

Aside from basic amenities, like a kitchen and infirmary - food and water and stuff like that - do the outposts have like clothing, items for hygiene and stuff like that? [or is this part of the waves of supplies LLK mentioned in her question?]

Also, with having one of several crafty people now in the Surrounding, are there means for general mending of clothing or even where they're going to be living for the next... who knows? - tools of the sort, hammers, ancient looking screw drivers, needles and thread, stuff like that?

Nessy: As far as clothing is concerned any abandoned bedroom or sleeping quarters of any kind should have clothing and hygiene products to be salvaged. There aren't really any moths to eat the clothing but the soap might be a little sparse.

If you'd like to have your characters ICly find basic tools like that there should be no problem. Otherwise I am sure if you talk to one of the Zodiac or other Order characters they would be happy to have the supplies come in a later shipment.

Roma: It should be noted that if you're looking for clothes on Virgo, you're only going to find them on the third floor. She didn't maintain servants in her Outpost.

If our senshi permission post is long enough, can it count as a solo ?

Nessy: Sure.

Seconding this, as I'm getting ready for work and Roma wrote that up for me real quick, but also wanting to add that I'll compile an example set of things you might find in the outpost later tonight! =) I'm open to all kinds of plot ideas, even the ones that really irk Soldier Leo, so if you want to have your character try to steal something then fling me a PM and we can talk through an RP! Leo's probably not going to let his (very small at the moment!) group of civilians too far out of his sight right away, so trying to steal something wouldn't be that wise, but could certainly be attempted!

Food in general:
Did any of the zodiacs have gardens, if so, would any have survived?
Any special space/outpost crops or foods?
If so, would there be enough to give to the civilians, or, for civilians to find on their own to try?

Will some clothes [maybe hospital scrubs or something?] be included in the supplies brought back by senshi? It might seem less urgent than medical supplies, and maybe it is, but all dem civs are gunna get stinky after a couple days without some fresh clothing to change into.

Mouse: With all the supplies questions, I'm wondering if there should be a supply request thread -- or at the very least, you could have your characters ask for specific things in an RP! Any goods are technically possible to bring up as long as they can be physically carried, but that doesn't guarantee they'll have the idea to bring it IC.
