The Ruined Hull

[atlasmods]

THE RUINED HULL Your First Spacecraft The encounter with the Trilobite Queen has left behind more than just meat and chaos. Where the gargantuan creature originally rose out of the sand, an equally massive sinkhole has formed--and exposed something gleaming in the bottom of it. Something old, something metal, something huge... Welcome to THE RUINED HULL. The Ruined Hull is an enormous derelict ship, long-entombed beneath the surface of the sand. The Trilobite Queen's egress has disturbed the ground significantly enough to open a way down to it, and while there are no doors that lead inside, a large gash along one side permits entry. Unlike those seen before, this particular gash doesn't look like it was made by anything organic. What is this thing? Well, you'll have to discover what's going on with it. But characters must be careful while exploring... While inside the Hull, the suit's power drains at an alarming rate: anyone at 100% has about one hour before dropping completely down to zero. The derelict craft is a seemingly-infinite maze of rooms that's all too easy to lose one's way in. The deeper one goes, the faster the power drains. Characters will need to watch their power levels to make sure they return to the surface in time for a recharge, or risk freezing up somewhere in the bowels of this abandoned spaceship. One thing is common to most of the rooms, though: the unique nature of the metal in this ship has condensed moisture in the area, making much of the surfaces slick and moist. Water drips from the ceiling in many places, especially those rooms closest to the surface. There is bounty to be found inside the Ruined Hull! It's much too large for the interlopers to completely explore (especially given their suit restrictions), but there's plenty to be found for those brave enough to search. How does all of this relate to world-building? We'd like you to help flesh it out! How do you do that? It's a simple as commenting to this entry. We've provided some sample locations below here to help get you inspired, but what we're looking for is for players to submit their own ideas for locations, items, or things of note to be found inside the hull. Are there maze-like corridors? A room with giant hole in the middle of it, falling for floor after floor until it goes too deep to see any further? Maybe your character is looking for some kind of central command-looking area, or a terminal to interface with in the hopes of gleaning more information. Whatever it may be we'd like you to come and help flesh out the ship's layout! And that's where Exploring come in! To explore the Hull, comment to our Exploration thread below. This can be mid-IC thread or ahead of time if you have plans, whichever works best! The comments themselves should be along the lines of asking about interacting with objects in the rooms or what you might find from exploring a given room. Feel free to ask about anything that is there or that one might find. As details are worked out, the descriptions of the rooms will grow and there will be even more for everyone to play around with! The descriptions and the responses given are your building blocks to create posts as characters explore. To start the start the event off we have provided (4) rooms for characters to explore & uncover. As things progress and players move throughout the Ruined Hull, more items, supplies, and areas will be unlocked! Final Notes As there will no doubt be a lot going on in terms of exploration and suggestions, feel free to throw up threads here to work out ideas or plans, set up groups to go exploring together, or even potentially get your character in a fix from staying down deep too long and needing to get dragged out. There is a lot of potential for what you can find, so don't be afraid to ask if you have an idea! While this post is to keep planning in one place, it is largely up to everyone to make their own logs detailing their explorations! There will not be a mingle or mass post to reply to, so don't hesitate to make up a post of your own to get things started. Have an idea for something a bit bigger in scope or plan? Hit up our plotting post! More general discoveries are still open so don't feel as though you can only attempt discoveries from the new setting. Everything is still fair game! The Ruined Hull will be available for exploration until November 11th.

bruce is shredded, has an 8-pack, the demonstration

[superblack]

so various things with bruce

1. he'll be cutting the safe out of the acrid room and dragging it out into the open, away from the room because whatever's in there has to be valuable so let's go team! come watch him be super extra and find out that bruce is really a lot stronger than he comes off :')

2. he'll be exploring and finding a bunch of weapons, most of them in dire need of repair or not working, with the few that do work not having full charges. if anyone needs a weapon, hit me up here and i'll do a distribution. if you'd like for it to be done IC, just say the word and we'll get that going

3. no seriously like look at this goddamn extra piece of work

[superblack]

Padme will receive: a partially working plasma rifle, with 0 charges

for you IC needs

[copies]

If he'd be inclined to give Athena a weapon, she'd take it - but would act like she didn't know how to use it and would request lessons so if that would influence his decision I don't mind her not getting one! Either case, I'd like to her to work it out with Bruce on an IC level so she can get some cr rolling!

[superblack]

ok!! and honestly he'll be really hesitant on giving her one but given circumstances he might suggest alternatives or at least sticking close to him because

batdad

[superblack]

[superblack]

I MEAN HE'S SEEN HER FIGHT he's pretty sure she can handle herself but he will probably still be slightly hesitant about it

[sandhate]

he has his own plasma gun thing but will help with repairs. he's pretty handy like that.

[superblack]

c'mon anakin

let's repair things

but really that would be awesome he'd super appreciate a second set of hands being able to fix up the guns

[thephix]

im late bc im terrible but max would love a gun plsthx bruce she promises to only kill bad guys

meanwhile jess just wants to perve at bruce dragging the safe tbh

[exorion]

hey Bruce can Cayde have a gun

he already has one but can he have another one

(Cayde will also help with repairs but seriously More Guns)

[backwatertrooper]

Iiif there's any guns left, Cloud would try to approach to ask for one if/when he's seen others do the same... :'D Though Bruce is free to be hesitant or refuse, of course.

[bringguns]

late af but as it turns out clarke has been given a data cylinder that apparently goes with the safe! so obvs somehow these two need to figure this out and find out what's on the damn thing
