TECHNOEXPLORATION, open to all this weekend!

IT'S ME AGAIN; just wanted to update everyone on the exploratory trip to the center of the Hub that's upcoming this weekend! As a note to new players, this is perfectly open to you if you'd like to hop in!

Plot Summary: 9S ([personal profile] deem) is leading an IC effort to create monitoring technology on the Hub, which will give IC bulletins on upcoming weather, magical vibes, and natural resources on the island. The mods will OOCly incorporate this into their weekly posts when characters are on the Hub. Characters will need to troop up to the ??? on the Hub mountain for installation.

Previous posts on this topic were here (IC) and here (OOC).

Here's the timeline:
• Starting on Day 120 (Nov 4), any characters who were interested started working together under 9S's direction to make a bunch of technological components. In the end these will be combined to make a monitoring station and a cute lil monitoring robot.
• On Day 122, newbies arrived, everyone got flooded into the mansion, and there was a temporary time and parts shortage while everyone got situated!
• On Day 123, the parts shortage was resolved, and everyone in the mansion could begin a nerd slumber party to plan and build in addition to the ongoing general slumber party. 9S was on site to help direct things! Any character who wanted to get involved and hadn't previously had an opportunity was free to pitch in from this point on.
On Day 128 (Sunday), a log will go up for everyone to see what the ??? on the Hub is and install things! THIS IS UP GO TAG IT

Obviously we will be handwaving construction a bit since everyone is occupied with the new character intro log, but that's what this post is for! Please just comment to the HELPFUL SUBHEADERS if you want to plot with us about how your character pitched in to help or learn to help build robots, or if they'll be seeing what's on the mountain this weekend. If you want to help but don't know what your character could do, comment anyway and we'll think of something.

Mikleo, the most helpful part-time dragon.

9S could definitely show him information about technology and useful resources using his monitors. It's a lot of information, but Alphonse and Riku got him accustomed to teaching people for whom his kind of tech is just a little insane.

Plus I think it'd be pretty cool to see what Mikleo would do with that information.

I'm not gonna lie he would start messing around almost immediately on his own time to see if 9S's tech COULD be tweaked to work with magic, too; that sort of stuff fascinates him.

A seraph after his own black box. 9S can totally relate to an interest in tinkering, although he naturally lacks the knowledge to do so with magic.

Mikleo should totally do that, it could be pretty darn cool.
