ataraxites | EXPLORATION & SALVAGE.

E X P L O R A T I O N A N D S A L V A G E

Looking to salvage tech from the ship? Want to organize a charting expedition out into the jungle? Then you've come to the right place! Read the information below and use the forms to submit a request for mod-generated information on your characters' exploration efforts.

E X P L O R E ( T H E J U N G L E )

As a general activity, trips out into the jungle do not need mod input. If your character is venturing out to do some hunting or foraging, or heading down to the river, you need only work off the information available on the SETTING page and use your discretion. However, if your characters are venturing deeper into the jungle or down the cliff on a more concerted mission to explore, then this is the place for you.

Only one jungle exploration will be granted per character per month. While exploration is the primary avenue by which the game will expand and progress, large plot reveals are not guaranteed as we will also have to keep in mind pacing and game adjustment. If your exploration does involve a plot reveal, you will be required to disseminate this to the rest of the game upon your characters' return.

Please give us at least one week from the time of your request to your preferred date to write up the information for you.

Name: Your name as organizer/point of contact
Characters: Name (<username="">) At least TWO CHARACTERS must be involved!
Preferred date: When would you like this to happen? Are there any IC or OOC elements that could conflict on another date? Please give us at least one week from the time of your request to your preferred date to write up the information for you. Please also bear in mind we may ask you to delay to a later date if we have a concern regarding plot conflict.
Preferred length: How long would you like it to run? Are there any IC or OOC elements that would conflict with a longer time? Please bear in mind that the deeper and more concerted your exploration effort is, the longer it's likely to be.
Area: What direction are your characters heading in, or what area are they specifically aiming for?
Intention: What are your characters' intentions, aims or goals on this expedition?
Skills: What particular skills do you think your characters will have for this expedition? This can include basic skills, expertise or powers.
Supplies: What are they taking with them?

S A L V A G E ( T H E S H I P )

The wreckage of the Tranquility is extremely unstable, making expeditions inside to salvage technology or supplies very dangerous. At the moment, Medical is the only freely accessible area - any attempts to press in further than Medical must be submitted here.

Due to the amount of damage which has been caused to the Tranquility's internal structure, your character knowing where they're going is a necessity to navigate the obstacles and blockages they are likely to encounter. Some areas will also need the nanite access granted by having signed up to that department while on board to enter or for the successful salvage of particular items. Activity in an area will also increase that area's instability; return trips will not be possible until it's had time to stabilize again.

Only one salvage attempt will be granted per character per month, any one specific area of the ship can only be salvaged from once a month, and only one salvage attempt can happen at a time.

Please give us at least one week from the time of your request to your preferred date to write up the information for you.

Name: Your name as organizer/point of contact.
Characters: Name (<user name="">) At least TWO CHARACTERS must be involved!
Preferred Date: When would you like this to happen? Are there any IC or OOC elements that could conflict on another date? Please give us at least one week from the time of your request to your preferred date to write up the information for you. Please also bear in mind you may be put in a queue behind other salvage requests.
Preferred Length: How long would you like it to run? Are there any IC or OOC elements that would conflict with a longer time? Please bear in mind that the further into the ship your salvage attempt is, the longer it will take!
Area: What area of the ship are your characters aiming to salvage from?
Intention: What are they most hoping to find and salvage from this area?
Skills: What particular skills do you think your characters will have for this expedition? This can include basic skills, nanite access, expertise or powers.
Supplies: What are they taking with them?

NOTE Barring timing conflicts, your character can be involved in any one exploration attempt AND any one salvage attempt per month, but not two explorations or two salvages in a single month.

Due to the upcoming application round and jump, we will unfortunately be unable to complete an information packet for your request for the first week of September. The soonest we would be able to schedule your exploration for would be September 9-10.

However, the basic shape of your request being a straight-shot journey out to the tether's limits can be covered by information accessible in the setting and FAQ pages. As such, it would be possible for you to do this exploration sooner without mod-generated information, though it would include no more discovery than the perimeter caused by the tether.

Please let us know which you would prefer, as well as any further questions or queries you have!

hey, thanks for the quick response! we don't mind waiting till September 9-10. that's barely any wait at all and I think we'd rather wait it out so we can get as much ic info as possible. bang for buck, etc.

thanks also for accommodating and giving us a specific timeslot & please let me know if you need anything else from our end in the interim!

Your exploration request has been granted! We have scheduled your exploration to run September 9-10 ICly, and will endeavour to have your information pack with you on September 8th.

thanks a million, guys! :]

Apologies for the delay! Due to the jump being delayed by a day, we wanted to check if you would prefer your exploration to be rescheduled to September 10-11 or September 11-12. Alternatively, it can overlap with the jump log, but the environmental effects caused by the jump would need to be incorporated in your play.

no worries! would it be possible to backdate slightly further to September 8-9 instead, taking into account the events of the Jump on the 9th and using that as an impetuous for turning back?

after some discussion between us I think it would be harder to justify just pulling up stakes and running off into the jungle after the big shake-up that happened at the Jump, so delaying to the 10th or the 11th as a start would be more difficult ICly. going out on the 8th and returning on the 9th to new people and chaos would work beautifully. please let me know if this is possible.

** oops addendum also I just realized that I have Sirius scheduled on a salvage mission on September 11 - 12 (see below!) so those dates wouldn't work for me on this one. this just means backdating slightly to 8-9 September would be even more perfect please & ty if possible.

THANKS.

That's fine! Your exploration information pack has been posted in response to your original request comment.
