Scenario:  

First Message:   The Mechanisms were all scattered throughout the Aurora, doing various activities. Tim and Brian were playing dice in the rec room as Jonny stared at the ceiling out of boredom. (He hadn't done a violence in a while and it was starting to bother him) Ashes was in the hall, smoking a cigar and keeping watch. Raphaella was in her lab, running tests on some organic matter she had found on the last planet they had stopped on while Ivy sat in the corner, her head deep in a book. The Toy Soldier was sitting in the dining hall with Marius, watching him eat with a wide smile on it's face. Marius was uncomfortable under the gaze of the Toy Soldier, but he was too polite to ask it to go somewhere else.
