[192 and 193] Look out below, I know there's no decision [OPEN]
Who: Everyone!
Open: Open!
When: Day 192 and 193
Where: Skyway
What: We might be nearing the end...
Format: Any
Warnings: N/A
[Another stretch of time, another period of finding nothing new. It's been left to Zayna and her father now, to complete those maps. Which they've been doing diligently, but Zayna has been wondering if they've reached the end of parts of other worlds being pulled in to the sky above their own ruined home.
That is until day 192. And just like before, there's another three each on two different days.
So they return and like before Zayna offers off the sketches of what they've found.]

[Colin stares at the computer for a moment, then he sighs and leans his hands on either side of the monitor, bracing himself.]
Communications are offline, sensors are offline, atmospheric generation is offline. The camp is basically dead. It's a good thing that the Skyway was habitable, because the world we were on was a barren rock... Without artificial atmosphere, I would have been dead immediately.
[He glances to AZ.]
Are you looking forward to finding anything of your world?
no subject
[They still don't know why or how it works. In case it stops generating things for some reason... he'd rather have materials.]
... I don't know. There's no place I really call home. Most places that I have strong memories of were demolished hundreds of years ago. I do know two places I wouldn't want to show up here, though - Lysandre's laboratory or Menhir Trail. There's enough destruction in this world without dragging in reminders of more.
no subject
[Yeah, he feels uneasy with unexplained replication technology. He's sure that's what the monument is, but until it IS explained... he's not totally comfortable with it.]
I get that. I... was torn between hoping I'd find something, and hoping that it would stay gone. Finding this place confirms that the calamity had a further reach than I'd hoped...
[He shakes his head.]
I'm going to bring back this computer for certain. As many pads as possible, probably a couple of rifles if any of them have their power cells intact...
If we can find a medkit or two, we'll be in good shape also. Other than that, the rest of this stuff is only good for parts.
... Though, I need to find the comm array. If I can salvage that, I might be able to do something.
no subject
... Just so you know, you can talk to me about anything. The offer is open for you all the time, and it's not like I'm going to go run and tell other people what you said.
[Listening is one skill he's gotten good at over the years. It's easier to just listen rather than try to make the words himself, at times.]
Do you have any idea where the medkits would be? That's probably one of the more important things to make sure to bring back, since your world's medicine seems more advanced than others.
no subject
For one thing, though, the Monument worries me on several fronts. Firstly, it's got to have a limit somewhere. If we rely on it TOO much.. we're going to be screwed when it breaks down.
And secondly, I don't think any of us should forget that it was Caelondian science that caused the calamity in the first place. Used improperly, or given the wrong technology to recreate... I shudder to think of the ways it could be misused.
[He's pretty sure AZ's offer was made for something ELSE but his thoughts there are hard for even the trained professionals on the Nova to follow. Besides, his worries about the monument are a lot more pressing... at least in his own mind.]
As for medkits... Each pre-fab should have one near the door. There should also be one in each vehicle, though I'm not sure if we'll be able to get inside the vehicles... We could have up to six of them here, though that's rather optimistic.
no subject
I know. Both of those things worry me, too.
Golurk can probably tear open one if you want. It's a lot stronger than a human. It has Mega Punch and Heavy Slam, both of which can rip something open easily.
no subject
[Colin gives AZ, then Golurk especially, an apologetic grin.]
The prefabs are made of titanium, because it's cheap and easy to work with, doesn't need to take much punishment other than natural exposure. Our exploratory vehicles armor are Adamantium and Xentronium. Designed to take the kinds of abuse that unmake planets.
Sadly, that seems to be what the Calamity WAS... We might be able to get into them, but breaking into them through brute force will be difficult. The shuttle out front looked like it took a hell of a beating, so I'm guessing the armor probably fused...
[He grins wider then, and nods at Golurk.]
But if you can find a weak point, you MIGHT be able to rip something off with effort. ... And if you do that, I'll have some wonderful materials to bring back to the Bastion.
Just don't over exert yourself.
no subject
[Golurk goes to look at the vehicles and see what it can do to crack them open. Maybe it can use Phantom Force to get in. It'll give it a try.]
Golurk can keep going for a long time. It's half ghost-type, which has strange properties anyway.
no subject
Can he phase through things? There are a couple of parts inside the vehicles that I could really use. In the cockpits, I mean.
[He'd like to get at the engines too, but that's unlikely and he knows it.]
If he can, we can try to find a medkit really quick so she knows what it looks like.
[Sorry Golurk, Colin doesn't like using "it" when it comes to describing things, so you get an uncertain gender pronoun instead.]
no subject
It can, yes, when it uses Phantom Force. It can only use it a few times a day, though.
[Thank you for that limit, Skyway.]
no subject
There's... a handful of useful data here about the calamity, before the sensors went dead, but I can't interpret it. There's maybe five people in the galaxy that can do anything with it.
We should pack this up and get it back to my workshop, I can use a good computer. I also need to finish tending to the dead...
If you think there might be anything here you can use, or that we might need, feel free to let me know, and we can make special note to grab it?
no subject
[But he understands wanting to take care of the dead. He doesn't want to pry, so...]
I'll take a look and see what we can find. You... go take care of what you need to take care of.
no subject
[Colin shakes his head, and he smiles slightly.]
Thanks, AZ. You ever need me to make you anything, just let me know.
[Colin starts working to shut down the computer so they can transport it safely.]
no subject
[He knows Colin can handle himself, so he goes to follow Golurk and see what they can get out of the vehicles. He knows that he's more or less defenseless on his own, so he moves quickly so he can be near his Pokemon again.]
