Event: In Pursuit of Knowledge OOC
EVENT: In Pursuit of Knowledge
Our next event is here! The voidtreckers have been taken to a voidbase to learn a little more about their SCAs and their situation, as well as using the Ministry's equipment to piece together the fragments of memories they collected on Jema'grethy.
Information about the base itself is here, and voidtreckers will be allowed to do whatever they wish during their time there: be that relaxing, or helping out with research.
They will be at the voidbase between day 22 and day 29 of the month of Rabbit. (12th-26th June)
TL;DR: There will be tests for the Voidtreckers (health, tether, and combat related, and tests involving particular circumstances- being dead back home, etc), and there will be a test run on the train and with the Voidtreckers' help, to piece back together the train's memories. There is also an archive room for deeper research, such as finding out more on the World Eaters/shapes in the sky.
The voidbase will have training areas, recreational areas (shows, music, videogames, e-books), and sleeping quarters.
The train will be accessible at all times.

SCA EXPERIMENTS
There are a few experiments that the void scientists want to try. They will ask for volunteers, and will explain things as best as they can; voidtreckers can volunteer to help around the labs if they prove themselves responsible.
GENERAL HEALTH: They will be collecting blood samples and doing some basic scans of any voidtreckers who wish to be tested. They are most interested in brain scans, and will also ask for volunteers to wear a machine whilst sleeping to monitor brain patterns.
TETHER SCANNING: They have a machine that can scan the tether itself. It involves going into a narrow standing tube, which hums loudly - sounding very like the humming of the void and flashes bright colors. They will be warned that it is a disconcerting experience, and will offer ear defenders to help combat the side effects, which involve a headache and vivid dreams for the next few nights.
POWER TESTS: For those voidtreckers with magic or other powers, there are a series of tests that they can take part in. They will be taken to small glass isolation chambers and asked to demonstrate their powers in various ways.
COMBAT TRAINING: While not related to tests, there is space for training to happen and ministry workers who will happily spar or train with voidtreckers. They are all trained in using a powered baton- a collapsible staff which is roughly fifty centimetres fully extended. It carries an energy pulse, which means that those without a lot of strength can hit hard enough to push enemies back away from themselves. It also can deliver a non-lethal energy attack. They will happily teach any voidtrecker who wishes to learn. If your character is going to train with these, please reply to the training comment below.
STRANGE CASES: They are very interested in testing those who are not in normal circumstances back on their worlds- that is those who are dead, those who are gods or other beings that don't necessarily have a physical body or those with any other reasons that would make it strange that they are tethered to the train. These experiments include medical tests, various tasks whilst hooked up to machines and controlled testing of removing the SCA.
FURTHER MYSTERIES
REACHING OUT: Knowing that the voidtreckers who have vanished over the last year and a half are still in a way connected to the Voidtrecker Express the ministry are keen to help the Voidtreckers find their friends.
They have a lab at the top of the base with a glass domed roof. Here a couple of scientists will attempt to talk them through connected to their voidcraft through their SCA's and through that- to the strands of tethers that are lost in the void. This is exhausting work and they won't be able to try for more than an hour or so at a time.
MEMORIES: The train has been docked in one of their docking stations. The ministry have brought down the equipment needed to attempt to put together the train memories. As promised the train will open the engine door.
It looks much like any train cab. Though it seems the train has shut down all but the most vital of processes before it allowed anyone into this space.
Those who saw a snippet of memories will have to enter the engine room, hook up to the machine and focus on the memory they received. The process isn't painful, but they may need to take a rest afterwards.
NOTE: We are assuming all those who found a snippet will take part in this, but if your character will refuse for whatever reason please let us know!
RESEARCH: The ministry workers in the archives are trying to find any information about the strange world eating shapes or vanished systems. They will take all the help they can get. There is no central system of information, but a number of different ones from different systems. They will have to monitor various news feeds and information sources.
This will involve reading historical articles about strange void happenings, following leads about missing worlds and trawling through conspiracy websites about what Really Happened™ to system #78961112094711.

Please feel free to ask questions below. If you have any particular questions about what is available on the voidbase, please ask them here so others can see the answers!

What do you mean by 'negative energy' here? Just so I know how best to answer this.
There are all kinds of video games- from puzzle games to multi player fighting games. He won't recognise anything he knows but there's plenty of different things to keep him occupied.
The rooms would be able to withstand saiyan training. The test rooms probably wouldn't take a full strength Vegeta but alarms would sound if the room was in danger and the test would stop.

'Negative energy' wise I am referring to blot from his universe, which accumulates on a person's soul/gem/wand based on both magic use but also with negative emotions. In particular I have had him aware/trying to plan for if they get a stop that may somehow make blot in him/those from his world stronger than normal so he can prepare to prevent that (kind of like how on stops they have lost their powers before or gained new ones, etc. stuff that messes with them).
If there is not, that's all good too, it just means the information isn't there, or that there isn't a stop that does that, or not aware of a stop that does that yet.
