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.

"At will" as it turns out, is almost immediately. Senshi is barely out of the way before Link is lighting the fuse.

A few moments of tension, as Link jumps back and the fuse burns down. And then...

BOOM!

The canon fires! It launches high into the air, before coming down into the water with a splash.

But it wasn't quite perfect - the canon had jerked to one side as it fired. Link hadn't been aiming to hit anywhere specific, but if he had been, the shot would have gone wide.

"Alright, good. Well, not good, but good we found this out earlier. Help me rig it so it won't do that," he asks, already reaching for the rope.

"Have you worked with this kind of equipment before?" he asks.

Link pauses, thinking about it.

"...Zonai cannons are smaller, he says. "They shot wide if I placed them wrong?"

He steps forward towards the cannon, crouching down beside it to peer at its base. Maybe this one was placed wrong too? Or just...not fixed to the ship very well.
