EXPLORATION & SALVAGE.

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. <b>Name:</b> Your name as organizer/point of contact <b>Characters:</b> Name (<username="">) At least TWO CHARACTERS must be involved! <b>Preferred date:</b> 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. <b>Preferred length:</b> 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. <b>Area:</b> What direction are your characters heading in, or what area are they specifically aiming for? <b>Intention:</b> What are your characters' intentions, aims or goals on this expedition? <b>Skills:</b> What particular skills do you think your characters will have for this expedition? This can include basic skills, expertise or powers. <b>Supplies:</b> 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. <b>Name:</b> Your name as organizer/point of contact. <b>Characters:</b> Name (<user name="">) At least TWO CHARACTERS must be involved! <b>Preferred Date:</b> 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. <b>Preferred Length:</b> 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! <b>Area:</b> What area of the ship are your characters aiming to salvage from? <b>Intention:</b> What are they most hoping to find and salvage from this area? <b>Skills:</b> What particular skills do you think your characters will have for this expedition? This can include basic skills, nanite access, expertise or powers. <b>Supplies:</b> 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. - - - - - - - - - - - - N A V I G A T I O N

While we can absolutely understand characters' desire to explore the wreckage of the Tranquility in a more general manner, the original labyrinthine quality of the ship's layout - further impacted by obstacles and dangers caused by the crash - makes any quest inside without some mind of destination and some familiarity incredibly dangerous, and characters who attempt this will get lost. As such we ask that you please reframe your request with a specific area of the ship as destination, bearing in mind that certain systems will not be accessible without pre-existing nanite access granted by having been a member of a department before the crash.

Please also bear in mind that we ask for at least a week of time between the time of an exploration or salvage request and when you would like it to happen in game! This is to give us time to fully develop and write the information pack.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or queries regarding salvage of the ship, such as what areas certain elements of the ship's systems would be housed, or avenues for your character to pick up knowledge of the ship ICly before entering it.

Name:Malarkey
Characters: One Etrepa Seven (corpse_soldier)
Rue Lancaster (pixelation)
Rey (circumitus)

Preferred Date: Nothing too stringent. A little while after the upcoming jump/whenever it will be safe (some time in the nearish future, as suits the need for response time and IC safety).
Preferred Length: As short as possible. The most pressing task is the acquisition of salvage, to be cleaned and stored safely off of the ship. No need to hang about waiting for something to go wrong.
Area: Armory, using Rey's SEC interdepartmental accesses.
Intention: The primary goal is to acquire weapons and equipment: guns and munitions in particular, along with anything that might help with constructing fortifications or increase the efficacy of perimeter guards (military-engineering/recon equipment), so as to help arm the camp against potential hostilities. And Rue wants a rifle or a handgun in particular! A secondary, incidental goal is to build towards making contact with what's left of the TQ's central intelligence, and to find accesses to its computer systems, insofar as this is possible. This second goal is more a matter of looking toward the future and spotting opportunities; it'll be subordinated to the primary objective.
Skills: Rue was on board the ship before the crash, giving her the base accesses at least, and she's also a technopath, meaning she has means of dealing with mechanical systems. She also has practical survival skills and can almost effortlessly communicate with Etrepa via technopathy and/or telepathy, who is herself a machine intelligence. Etrepa has a functioning open-channel wireless interface built into her, meaning she can interface with computer systems not quite with Rue's instinctive effortlessness, but with more ease than your average meatbag. She's also tremendously strong, quick and frighteningly accurate with her sidearm; she possesses enhanced/augmented perceptions, and can extend a theoretically impenetrable personal shield around herself. She's also very experienced at working with and protecting human companions, and will be highly cognizant of potential threats to Rue's person. Rey is arguably an even more terrifyingly hardy cyborg, particularly with associated walking-bomb capacities, plus her association with SEC will give her the needed additional accesses. She's also very strong, meaning that the team can retrieve that much more material.
Supplies: A rope, courtesy of Rue- also a matchbook, hairties and bobby pins (for MacGyvering the shit out of problems). Whatever cabling, netting and webbing Etrepa can borrow from what has already been salvaged, as well as water and food sufficient for the expedition, as per the party's judgment.

Apologies but we're afraid the armoury has already been salvaged, and is now empty of salvageable hand held weapons. There are several of the heavy machine guns left, but due to their size and weight, they'd only be able to bring back two or three of these. Please let us known if you'd be happy with this, or would prefer to change your salvage destination/aims to another area!

We also want to let you know that we will soon be amending this page to include a list of areas previously salvaged and any resources within that have therefore been exhausted. We hope this will prevent any similar confusion in future!
