Day 229 [EVENT]: Search the Skyway

[bastionpc]

Who: Nathaniel, Zahi, and everyone who wants to participate
Open: Open
When: Day 229
Where: Burstone Quarry
What: The Bastion needs a core. Badly. So what better place would there be to search than the place cores were mined from before the Calamity?
Format:any
Warnings:here be monsters

[After a few days of rest and organization, Nathaniel and Zahi finally lead a good portion of the Bastion residents to the quarry to look for a core. Fortunately, it doesn't take long to reach the quarry, thanks to the extended reach of the Skyway. Unfortunately, the quarry is very large, which means that everyone has to split up into small groups to cover more ground. But is the risk worth it for the reward?]

OOC:

Due to the nature of this post, there will be several threads happening at once. When your group is ready for some more NPC/setting interaction, put a note in the subject line of your comment, and a mod will jump in to further the thread.

Also, several groups can be at one location within the quarry, but each group will still have their own thread in that location.

Finally, if you did not sign up for a group, you can still participate. Any group of 2-4 participants can start a thread in here. If you need to find someone to make a last-minute group with, jump in on the most recent plurk on the mod plurk, or on the OOC post here.

The storage warehouse (Low Risk)

[bastionpc]

[All of those shards and cores had to be stored somewhere before being shipped out, and it just so happens that a large warehouse served that purpose.

There is not much of a threat from any monsters here currently, since the doors are tightly locked and the building is sturdy. However, some Peckers are perched nearby, and they'll be watching whoever tries to go in.]

Team "You Should Know Better", part two!

Having made his delivery to Nathan, Colin's decided that they need to raid the mine's stores. They've GOT to bring back more for the Bastion, or they're all in trouble.

At least until he figures out how to jury-rig a fusion generator to the monument. Something he's been working on in his head, but that's a topic for another time.

The locked doors aren't much of a hindrance to Colin at all. With the knob refusing to turn, it's just a simple matter of whipping out his lockpicks and going to work. He has to admit, it's been a while since he engaged in some quality B&E.

"Okay, number one thing we need is giant shards and cores," he says as he picks the lock. "After that? Well, let's just grab whatever looks worthwhile."

Anya divides her attention between watching Colin's handiwork and eyeing those birds suspiciously. She's not concerned exactly, but she's not thrilled with the idea of fighting them. She might get pecked.

"If we find enough of those cores, do we get to keep those big shards for ourselves? That other one should rightfully belong to me, since I found it, but I'm willing to let it be used for the common good since that includes me."

Anna also watches the birds. Mikoto could help, a little, but birds tend to get better of bugs, not the other way around.

"Probably. Cores are better than any size shard..."

Her wagon is going to be put to good use, she thinks.

"I think if you find us a core, Nathan will gladly let you have a shard that's as big as your head," he tells Anya, grinning up at her.

The door knob gives a gentle click as Colin gets the last tumbler, and he nods to himself.

"And there we go," he says. "Let's see what there is inside, shall we?"

He pushes open the door with a click, and afterwards he turns and waves to the Peckers. Say "Hi" to the nice birds, everyone.
