open | event | Thanks to the Rolling Sea
Characters: Team Echo, Foxtrot; also, everyone!
Date: February 24th (through 28th)
Location: Underwater; beneath the turtle
Situation: The barrier that has kept Foreigners from diving directly beneath the turtle have shifted and something there awaits discovery.
Warnings/Rating: Squids; to be updated as needed.
OOC Note: This is the third and final phase the three phase February metaplot event! What Team Echo finds beneath the turtle will have far-reaching impact on the game, therefore it is recommended that everyone read the write-up under the below cut!
Underwater | Beneath Tu Vishan
Overview
The repair work on the surface of the turtle is completed and all major wounds have been tended by the kedan. Each shell break has been patched up with the strongest materials they have access to, with many buildings in the Metal Sector having been scavanged fo provide the resources necessary to complete this work. Whole sections of shell have been stabilised with metal support structures and there are teams of kedan drafting long-term plans to monitor the natural healing of Tu Vishan.
Each worksite has been shut down, cleaned up, and the police presence dismissed as life appears to return to normal in Keeliai. All prisoners rounded up and held on trespassing chargers will be released over the course of the day.
Meanwhile, as routine takes hold once more, three teams of kedan are moving quietly to the edge of the shell and lowering large parcels of equipment and supplies into the water. They are then taking on aquatic forms and moving the work to damage beneath Tu Vishan's shell unmentioned by Eshai on the grounds of out-of-sight, out-of-mind. Questions asked of these teams as they depart Keeliai are answered as heading out to routine surveying and one applying too much pressure is apt to draw the attention of an officer for obstructing a workorder -- a grave offence in the city's legal code.
Characters that can survive in water are welcome to explore beneath the turtle, discovering that the barrier that usually "disables" their bodies in the area directly beneath where Keeliai stands surfaceside has faded and they can freely roam the area. Be warned, though! Many, many kedan are patrolling the area in a variety of aquartic forms, from hybrids to replication of natural seafaring creatures. These kedan will not ask questions or arrest, but are ordered to outright attack any that enter this perimeter. They may appear initially shocked at a Foreigner accessing this supposedly protected space, but that will not detract them for long.
Team Echo:
This team will be discovering a cloning facility established beneath the turtle and it is here that their bodies are created and prepared for the arrival of their souls via Eshai's magic. Depending on the actions of Team Echo, this facility may be destroyed. An OOC post on the community will be forthcoming in the next week to explain the impacts, if any, of this find and the changes it may bring to the game..
Additionally: Until this information ICly hits the network, these details are ICly limited to Team Echo and anyone they subsequently mention it to in a thread. It will likely be a Team Echo member that posts about it and it likely will not be long before this information is spread, just please keep that detail in mind.
Team Foxtrot:
The details of this team's findings are outlined in the thread header provided in this post. However, how does everyone feel about calamari? 8D
OOC: As with all previous logs, headers have been provided for questions, the two teams, and any random divers that wish to explore! And a reminder: An OOC post on the community will be forthcoming in the next week to explain the impacts, if any, of this find and the changes it may bring to the game

So she's been tailing the kedan a little while, watching them and seeing what they're up to, and trying to stay hidden as best as possible in the process. She's not really sure what they're up to, but she's going to find out. It's not like going underwater is a problem.
It's the distant roar of the motorbikes that tips her off that somebody else might've had the same idea. She doesn't know what anyone else's goal is, but it'd be just as stupid not to keep tabs on anyone else showing up while she's here. It doesn't take her too long to find the source of the sound -- and Steph and Damian -- and she makes her way to them with a simple flight spell, keeping low to the ground to keep from being seen. It's two foreigners, and she's not all that surprised. ]
Y'know, if you're trying to keep a low profile, a noisy mode of transportation like that probably wasn't the best idea.
[ Come on, guys. Can't you just fly everywhere like she does? ]
no subject
[And then. Ah, then. There is somebody else there, and it's... Damian's eyes narrow, the mask letting the lenses mimic his grimace.]
You. Looking for more things to sell?
[Angry badger, err, Robin? Check. He keeps his eyes on the magic-user but turns his face briefly up at Batgirl to make sure she's aware he's talking to her.]
Will you secure the bike, or should I?
no subject
She's not that loud.
[And the bike isn't, running smoother and quieter than the general bikes the kedan use, because Steph has made as many improvements to it as she can. And she made her to stay far enough from the convey that any sound from the engine would be covered by the convey's own movements.
But she nods to Damian, trusting him to keep an eye on Lina as Steph climbs off the bike and walks it over to hide amongst some boulders and light shrub, activating all the defenses once that's done.]
no subject
The bike is nice, but there's something fishy going on between the kedan's little parade to the sea and these guys sneaking around. All he can guess is maybe they know something he doesn't know.
For now he stays hidden up on the rock ledge, watching and wondering what the heck he's gotten himself into. If somebody's up to no good, maybe today won't be so boring after all.]
no subject
Only if you're buying, kid.
[ It'll take more than that to faze her, because all the excitement of creeping around has put Lina in a good mood tonight. She beams brightly at Steph and Damian, hands on her hips. ]
So I take it you two were too curious to stay away, huh?
