Satellite Crash Event

Crash Landing | Salvage Party | Shocking Spectres

Questions | Keeliai | Repairs | Salvage | Other | Oceanside | Shellside | ARSHEPHELIOS-side | Coralside


The majority of fires are reported as under control and repair crews start forming up to bring Keeliai back to her pre-scorched splendour. This is all well and good, but there remains a cluster of debris that crashed into the ocean drawing the attention of salvagers and Foreigners alike. Boats and teams form up and head up to scour the ocean, where the cluster rests upon an expansive and ancient coral formation and can be reached within ten metres of the surface.

Comments

[littlecousin]

Fish are total jerks.

[She doesn't sound surprised, just resigned. This is apparently kind of a sore spot with her.]

[relentlesstide]

[He almost looks amused, quirking an eyebrow.] Do you get that sort of reception a lot?

[littlecousin]

They shouldn't be ignoring me! Dolphins don't ignore me.

[Dolphins are smart enough to make friends with. Fish? Nope.]

[relentlesstide]

Dolphins are generally much friendlier. Somewhat more accepting of things that aren't shaped like them. [One practically adopted him when he was young and still exploring the ocean. He has a huge fondness for dolphins.] How bad is the damage here?

[littlecousin]

[She didn't want to talk about talking to fish, anyway.]

This deep, it's not too bad. The section of the reef that took a direct hit from the satellite is going to need centuries to grow back, if the coral here's anything like home.

[Surface dwellers are still crudding up the ocean hundreds of years after they died.]

[relentlesstide]

It's probably at least similar, most of the sea-life seems to be just a little different superficially. [He's frowning a little now.] Shame it had to fall here and disturb the entire ecosystem. I'd make a comment about surface trash but I suppose we don't know exactly who or what sent this thing into space in the first place.

[littlecousin]

Y'know, we've probably got enough people here that we could raise the whole satellite. We could put it one of the burned-out areas of the shell.

[All of Nita's ideas are brilliant, okay.]

[relentlesstide]

We probably could get it high enough to airlift out between the lot of us water-breathers. We'd have to do it carefully, though, keep from damaging more of the reef. [He glances up at it thoughtfully.] It would definitely help with salvaging the innards. There's a lot of tech on there I don't fully understand.

[littlecousin]

If we could get the Green Lanterns in on it, it'd be no problem. Heck, even one Green Lantern.

[She bets she could talk Kyle into it, easy.]
