Here we are, in the middle of it all… and there are still no clear signs of when (or even if) the Drift Fleet's passengers will get to leave this strange wing of the Marsiva. Calibrations continue during the "night" cycles, for those who can remember the experiences. Time spend wandering the Marsiva during the day hasn't been very productive for anyone contemplating escape, revenge, or other defiant sort of ideas.

Starting over the next few days, though, a few cracks in the metaphorical veneer will begin to surface...

Those who were a part of calibrations last year might remember some of these extra discoveries and pieces of the Atroma puzzle - if they remember anything at all about them… This year, there are more surprises to find! So even if you remember this plot from last time, give it another read-through, there’s something new for everyone -- and some very special guests you might want to track down…

What a season, dear Flooters! The drama! The intrigue! The questions! The answers! ... Okay, probably not many of those, but still! Isn't everything amazing? Aren't you excited about the future of the universe's most successful reality broadcast ever created?

Unfortunately, as far as Atroma is concerned, not everything has gone entirely smoothly. There have been more rough patches and space-road bumps than they’d like, and they’re not about to let those go completely overlooked. Not to mention some security breaches, that annoying network bypass the contestants have developed, and the glimpses through the mask that should never have happened... it's time to patch things back up.

And with some very special guests waiting in the wings, Atroma might just manage more than a cursory fix this time...

Starting today (January 20th), passengers will suddenly find themselves no longer on their own ships. At least they’ll be somewhere very familiar - though, is that really a good thing…?

It's been a wonderful holiday season here on Libuscha IV, but it's time for the Fleet to take its leave! So enjoy your last festive meals here, get one last deep breath of the crisp, wintry air, and get ready to make your way starward once more. Some of the locals might shove some last-minute gifts into your hands before you leave, so be sure to thank them profusely on the way out!

The Interceptors have already slipped away by this point - all the better to escape the notice of Atroma (hopefully). So as the Marsiva pulls away from the planet, tugging all other ships along behind her, there's nothing to do but hang out, relax, and entertain yourselves before the next stop!

... Unless Atroma has other plans... but who knows~? All you can do is... stay tuned!!

As of this post, the Fleet is drifting! The drift period will last from 1/5 to... technically 1/20, but there won't be a new system at that time, per se, because...

( CALIBRATIONS!!! )

More information about the rest of the event will be released closer to the starting date. Rest assured, there will be some... twists, turns and surprises... that haven't happened in previous Calibration periods. Gotta keep things fresh, after all~ ♥

After a long, intense month, the Calibrations event is now officially ending. Thank you to everyone for making this event such a wonderful experience! We simply can’t get over how creative all of you are, and your enthusiasm has just been downright contagious! You really are the best Drift Fleet Cycle a Mysterious Corporation In Space could ask for, you know that~?

Buuuut seriously, you are also the best players a mod team could ask for. Here’s to you, Flooters. ♥ You’re all wonderful. We hope you all had as much fun as we did.

We have a few things to go over, so please check out all of the details in this post to make sure you catch everything before we move forward! ( Click )

The Drift Fleet is now officially drifting! We want to give ample time for people to continue to backtag without feeling like they need to focus on the next new shiny, so the fleet will stay in drift from today, July 9th, until July 21st. During this drift period, the Fleet will continue on its course as if it never got held up in the first place! Convenient! Feel free to refamiliarize yourself with the ships, the Iskaulit, meet your new crewmates, or find some way to cope with the fallout of what the heck all of you just went through. As always, there are your standard waystations now and then that are perfectly explorable, should you need to get out and stretch your legs for a bit.

Do try to have fun, yes? And, of course -- welcome home, dear Drift Fleet.

A couple days have passed, and there are still no clear signs of when (or even if) the Drift Fleet's passengers will get to leave this strange wing of the Marsiva. Calibrations continue during the "night" cycles, for those who can remember the experiences.

But one more strange thing starts happening during their stay! It's entirely opt-in, but if anyone wants a little more for their characters to investigate and chew on, it's here to be discovered!

Those who were a part of calibrations last year might remember some of these discoveries - if they remember anything at all about them… but this year, there are more surprises to find! So even if you remember this plot from last time, give it another read-through, there’s still something new for everyone!

Here we are again, dear Flooters. After many adventures across many, many more systems than ever before, this Cycle of the hit show Drift Fleet is shaping up to be one for the books! But as far as Atroma is concerned, not everything has gone entirely smoothly. There have been more rough patches and space-road bumps than they’d like, and they’re not about to let those go completely overlooked!

There’s also the matter of a special program everyone so very recently procured, and the need to protect some precious information…

And so, starting today (June 9th), passengers will suddenly find themselves no longer on their own ships. At least they’ll be somewhere very familiar - though, is that really a good thing…?

Hello, everyone! Starting in two weeks, the Fleet will be going through an ordeal that will be familiar to some: Calibrations!! That’s right - characters are once again going to be dragged into their own psyches, and will get the opportunity to visit each other in the meanwhile!

This plot will begin on June 9th, after roughly a week and a half drift period (May 31st - June 9th). We wanted to give people plenty of time to brainstorm ideas for this heavily interactive plot!

For those of you new to us, or who would like a refresher, we have a handy guide / primer in this post! Just follow the cut below.

Thank you everyone for making the Calibration event so much fun! The event is ending, though both mods will continue to tag back as Diamond and/or Beau. If there are any lingering matters you want mod answers for, please ask! Everyone is welcome to continue tagging Calibrations and other Marsiva mingle threads for as long as they'd like, though it may be a good idea to get in contact with people you're in Calibration threads with if you want to wrap things up or find out how certain things go.

Since the fleet's passengers have experienced a lot during this event, and are coming away with a lot of confusing information (both from Calibrations and the Marsiva itself), they are now being returned to their ships as if nothing had ever happened.

...Almost.

A year of mystery, space-chases, odd announcers, and strange planets has finally passed... but no one special has been sent home in a burst of glory. It seems like the twelfth "cycle" of the Drift Fleet is still going, despite an increasing number of errors and glitches affecting everyone's ships.

Atroma's had quite enough of that, by the way. Starting today (Oct 18th), passengers will suddenly find themselves somewhere very different... And perhaps unfortunately, very familiar.

It's the event we've all been waiting for...
