Update: Move that turtle!
Hello, chelonauts! This post is a collection of info/ooc sign up for Operation: Move the Turtle.
The mods have set the ultimate landing location for the turtle at Tavimbi, which they have deemed as a mountainous land yet unexplored by kedan. (No kedan, in other words, remembers ever having landed there; they just know that it is mountainous.) ICly, the choice to go in this direction will be made by convenience -- the fact that it would be easier to work with the ocean currents already flowing in this direction rather than against them, and the promise of possible undersea mountain ranges that would be good for parking a very large turtle bus.
There's still time to tag in to the ic log, but under the cut is what I've collected so far that characters plan to do. Please feel free to use this list to coordinate with others for ic shenanigans! I'll be putting up an ic catch-all log for that soon.
If your character wasn't able to make the meeting, these jobs/needs would have been publicized in one way, shape, or form, so please let me know what your character would volunteer to do. All roles can (and ideally should) have multiple people, so also feel free to sign up for more than one as long as it wouldn't mean your character would be needed in two places at the same time.
Planning/building
Mapping course via charts and stars
- Aya
Connect with kedan to explain plan and solicit help
- Yuri
- Dove
- Anton
- Michaelangelo
Connect diplomatically with family heads to solicit support and assistance
- Kaiba: Metalworkers
- Valdis: Snakes + Woodsmen
Speak to locals who might have been to this part of the world and collect information
- Cain
Design and build technological means of moving turtle to supplement magical means
- Kaiba + kedan metalworkers
- Duke (collaborating with Kaiba's tech with magic)
- Vincent
- Callaghan
Develop means of steering turtle
- Solomon?
- Aya?
Develop means of securing/anchoring turtle upon grounding and build if necessary
- Klaus
- Aya?
- Callaghan
more needed!
Secure/strengthen buildings if necessary – turtle may be moving more quickly than usual
- Yuri will mention it to kedan
- Toph
more needed!
Provide communication between teams during planning and building phase
- Pepper
Coordinate shifts for groups moving the turtle to decrease exhaustion among volunteers
- Cain
Create plans for unknown contingencies/emergencies
- Cain
- Valdis
more needed!
Moving
Scout ahead of turtle for appropriate grounding site/warn of hazards
- Shay
- crew needed for Shay's boat!
- Ven
- Dove
- Yuri
Provide communication relay from forward scouts to turtle movers to adapt to obstacles (must be fast!)
- Pepper
- Ven?
- Michaelangelo
Check structures, liason with kedan during move
- Toph (structure check)
more needed!
Move turtle via magic and technological means
- Lapis
- Aang
- Kaiba
- Duke
- Ven
- Solomon
- Zatanna
- Gene
- Kitty
- Callaghan
more needed!
Support mover shifts with food, rest, and morale
- Cain
more needed!
Anchor turtle upon landing
- Klaus
- Aya?
more needed!
Aftermath
Coordinate security shifts to guard anchors against tampering
- Enjolras
- Michaelangelo
more needed!
Thought of something else that might be helpful? Not sure what I'm talking about with some of these jobs/needs? Poke the question thread!
Note: Just because I have marked something as "more needed" and not others not does not mean that others would not be welcome in unmarked categories. The marked ones may just be a little more pressing/definitely require multiple people to accomplish.
