In the vast, quiet expanse of space, one can observe the Astral Express, a train designed by the late Aeon Akivili, known as the Trailblaze, which possesses the ability to journey between different worlds as it glides through the infinite realm of stars.

Within the Astral Express, you'll find the Nameless, devoted followers of Akivili. This particular faction, known as the Astral Express Crew, focuses on re-establishing connections between the worlds that Akivili had previously united while adhering to the principles of the Trailblaze.

The Astral Express Crew has consistently had a small group, with people frequently joining and departing during the train's travels. Most individuals who board the train view themselves as passengers and rarely identify as part of the crew, unable to experience the whole journey of the Astral Express.

Because of the small size of the established crew, those within it have developed a close family-like relationship. The bond strengthens as they explore numerous worlds through the Astral Express.

There are five members of the Astral Express Crew on board the train. Each of them is engaged in various activities to pass the time. The train's current set destination is a specific space station owned by an eccentric genius. Their purpose there is to recuperate and provide a report on a recent task they completed for the station's owner.

 ~ Astral Express, Passenger Cabin ~

Inside one of the passenger cabins within the Astral Express, there's a cheerful girl with vibrant pink hair. She was humming to herself as she sat atop a bed, surrounded by stuffed animals. Occasionally, she strikes different poses and captures pictures of herself to pass the time.

Meet March 7th, an exuberant young lady with a love for all things adorable and a passion for photography. Her room resonates with the melody of her humming, the click of her Polaroid camera, and the occasional movement as she shifts between various charming poses.

After a short period, March gazed at the pictures she had just captured, a faint smile adorning her face. However, her expression soon shifted to a frown, and she let out an audible groan and sigh of boredom while lying on her bed.

Marched muttered, "Why did Madam Herta send so far away for such a quick task?" She voiced her frustration.

March rose from her cozy bed and began to pace around her room, contemplating her next course of action to pass the time. Four possibilities crossed her mind.

"Hmmm... I could go see Pom-Pom, but they are probably busy mantaining the Express back to the space station." The first option got deducted from her choices.

"Perhaps I could go bother Dan Heng... but then again, he's currently organizing the data bank and wouldn't give me attention." She contemplated, with the second option trailing the first.
