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'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT (finally having time to stare helplessly at damn gundam episodes), you didn't ask for this tl;dr but here i go

like. he 's. not a mechanic. he spends like 90% of his screentime just staring at his gundam while actual mechanics work on it, but he's a) shown once sitting in the cockpit working on a tablet/interface, b) spoken to as if he's doing the adjusting himself, c) in such a tech heavy world with so much dependent on that stuff, i feel like it's reasonably to assume some basic competence should parts fall off and all that?

SO UH weakly justifying the following list

- experience programming and helping with some extremely fucking weird AI (based on and actually using his subordinate's remnant brain haha gundam)
- MAYBE some basic actual hands on maintenance/building/knowing where shit could go??? is it fair to say if you spend 24/7 watching it you pick something up plus basic back in the day classes????
- by all means he'll fetch and carry plz.

just gonna piggyback on this and say mcgillis can and will do the same things as gaelio lmfao

seems to know a lot about gundam mechanics idk not a mechanic but a nerd

Gundam pilots are beautiful, majestic beings.

Please help make the pod's programming weird, and also! 9S hates fetch-quests so please be welcomed to them. While they're on the hub I think this essentially boils down to scraping together whatever they can and then moving parts between people working assembly, which these guys are welcome to do if they're so inclined. 9S can display relevant data on holographic monitors and uh. Also yammer a lot. He's a boss at talking.

There's a log up now that gives us some room for pod work here!
