HELLO TURTLELINGS.

Remember a few months ago, when James was like, "We should build a boat," and people mocked him, as they generally do?

Well guess what, unlike his previous attempts to totally be helpful ~~and in charge~~, this one is TOTALLY HAPPENING. We're building a boat, guys!

Okay, no, seriously. What it looks like is this: I got mod approval to spend the next 3-4 months with James scavenging wood from the wreckage the satellite made, and from anywhere else he can find it, and building a sea-worthy vessel. This is an open project; anyone who wants to is welcome to join in.

Why are we building a boat? Well, because as recent events have made obvious, everyone on the turtle is dependent on the turtle. Should the turtle go under, everyone is kind of screwed. Thus, it makes sense to have a boat.

Now, obviously, this first boat won't be big enough to save everyone. The immediate danger has passed, and that would be a gigantic undertaking. At some point, James imagines a ship large enough to rescue all the foreigners and maybe the Kedan, too. Or even his own fleet. But for now, this boat is more a "proof of concept" boat than an actual Ark. Of course, once it exists, that opens the door to potential exploration and also potential commandeering, which, ngl, I'm pretty psyched about.

So how about it, who wants to build a boat? IC post to this effect to follow!
