TECHNOEXPLORATION, open to all this weekend!

[rootandbranch]

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 (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.

I think we've got at least a few people who are robotics-inclined and can help get her some instruction/information, and among that 9S can use his holographic screens to give her very detailed assembly data. Androids make pods after all, though I imagine this'll be something with some differences in design due to different minds contributing to it. Should be helpful for nuts and bolts all the same.

And since it's a very technical sort of project, being able to hunker down and piece things together would be very helpful.

Given that she's worked through more of 9S's data in the past this is a perfectly acceptable arrangement, thanks Nines.

She's probably not going to be too helpful for much more than the nuts and bolts herself at this point, not trusting herself to tinker too much outside of her breadth of knowledge especially given that there are much more capable sorts for that already within the coven, but hey who knows in the future what with the other folks currently around. She's intuitive and flexible enough, it's just a matter of the information she has access to and practical experience/understanding. But at the very least, she'll free up some of the busywork for the programmer and engineer sorts to have more time to do their thing.

Sounds like excellent help, especially since they have to improvise with whatever parts they have. And it sounds like there's potential for Homura to build in her technical knowledge and skill over time for other things too, so anytime 9S can help her with that I'm 100% for it.
