EVENT #03: WAR ORDER - EXTERMINATION PLANNING PHASE

The interrogation of Lord Gundhir is a tense affair, the room and surrounding area silent, save for the ever-present explosions of bombs falling above the Vault. When the interrogators emerge, there is a flurry of panicked activity as messages are sent and contacts are made. Soon, the grim news has spread - the Empire is attacking. The Corsairs act quickly. The mine shall be abandoned. They make a stand at Flotsam. A rising din engulfs the entirety of the Corsairs as they prepare to meet a Legion in pitched battle for the first time.

CORE MISSIONS

This week, there are no Core Missions to complete - instead, players may make whatever preparations they believe are appropriate to ensure the safety of the people and that defenses are ready. Here are a few recommendations, but players are free to use this time to do whatever they wish.

Evacuate Civilians: Evacuate civilians from Flotsam and the mine to keep them out of the fighting.
Hide Vital Infrastructure: Sail the infrastructure ships Flotsam relies on into hidden areas to protect them.
Prime Mine for Destruction: Prepare explosives and other items to ensure the mine is destroyed.
Prepare Defenses: Prepare defenses for Flotsam including more cannons, mustering troops, and the like
Automate Mine Defenses/Expand escape routes: Guns were set up in the mine, Corsairs may attempt to either automate them or create escape tunnels that feed into the primary underwater escape tunnel within the mines so they can be manned and offer resistance to the legion but abandoned safely when the time comes.

Escape Tunnel Digging

[minorinasskicking]

Upon hearing that the Corsairs stationed at the mine wanted an escape tunnel dug before the Empire showed up, Gohan volunteered. He had heard stories from both his father and Krillin about the training they received under Master Roshi's eye, which included digging furrows for farmers to plant their crops with their bare hands. And while Gohan knows his strength has been reduced in this world, he's also confident that he's stronger than they were when they underwent that training.

And so, Gohan spends much of the time in preparation digging an escape tunnel by hand. So far, he's managed to get started on a tunnel about ten feet in diameter, all without the use of a shovel or any other tools. He's not even wearing gloves, because he expects they'd just fall apart due to friction. Despite that, he's making good progress, and not even rock has been able to hinder him -- all it takes is a few punches and the occasional ki blast, and it turns to rubble. The only real downside is having to get the material he's dug out of the tunnel. He opted for a tub rather than a wheelbarrow, since it'd be faster for him to just carry the material out than to wheel it out.

He doesn't work constantly, of course. He takes breaks on a regular schedule to avoid exhausting himself, and during those breaks, he can be found either outside the tunnel and drinking water, perhaps with a book open in his hand, or in the canteen, rapidly devouring a multiple-course meal.

At some point after she's helped Harlock and Link

Most of Nephenee's time has been spent helping with the defenses at Flotsam and the evacuation there, but during a lull there, when her energy is high and she desperately needs something to do, she shuttles off to the mines to see what she can do there to help. Granted, she doesn't know much about what they're doing, but the hasn't stopped her from making herself useful before!

It's during one of Gohan's breaks that the soldier comes upon him, clad in her blue & teal armour and with her lance and shield on her back. Huh, she's...seen this guy around, but hasn't actually spoken to him (though that's not a short list...). Curious, and eager to help, she walks over.

"Hey...Workin' on mine stuff?" She asks, before realizing with an internal groan and facepalm that the question's awfully silly.

Nephenee's good at conversation, honest.

Upon hearing Nephenee's voice, Gohan opens his eyes and pulls the water bottle away from his mouth. He's probably had enough water for now, anyway.

"Hm? Oh, yeah." Gohan looks toward the tunnel he's been digging, and motions to it with his free hand. "The staff here needs escape tunnels, so I've been helping by digging them myself."

Of note is that while there are a few digging tools strewn about the area, they all look clean except a single tub made out of aluminum, which has some dirt caked on the inside of it.
