JELLY SHROOM CAVE BASE EXPLORATION | ACTION

[imsorey]

[In the early morning, just after breakfast is cleaned up, Sorey sends a telepathic broadcast to whoever is still currently hanging around the base:

Hey everyone! We found a strange cave way down deep in the tunnels a couple of weeks ago, and the fish down there told us there were humans living down there somehow! We’re going to check it out today. You’re welcome to come with, but bring some kind of shielding, all right? There’s a whole bunch of Tiger Plants on the route, and those spikes they shoot are no joke!

Mikleo chimes in: If you have swimming troubles, I should be able to take you around, though a couple of you might want to bring Seaglides as well. We mapped out a partial safe route, but keep in mind there’s some very large predators, and the water pressure’s going to be pretty intense if you move too far from us down there. Come prepared for that.

Should you as an intrepid explorer decide to venture down into the tunnels with them, there’s plenty to see. Glowing Jelly Shrooms are scattered across the caves, the only bit of light offered so far down in the dark. Sorey and Mikleo will lead the group in a careful circuit through them, not going too close. It’s easy to see why when a couple of Crabsnakes poke their heads out curiously.

The abandoned base the group will come across is small but has some useful items if you care to take a look. There’s also a dully glowing three-person Seamoth to be discovered not too far away, out of power, if any technologically-inclined people want to figure out how to get that back to base for use.

((OOC: Open mission post for Jelly Shroom Base Exploration! Sorey and Mikleo will tag whoever tags in, but feel free to jump other people as well and branch your explorations out separately if you’d like. There’s a lot to find!))

[imsorey]

Then you're interested in research?

[He gestures to his own little bag full of samples taken from down here.]

We could probably use your help back at the lab, if it's not too much trouble. A lot of us are still new at this.

[ Good thing she was barely out of the lab, if she wasn't on a mission like this. Her lips quirked slightly, the small scar on her lip pulling as she did it. ]

I might swing by that way once in a while.

[imsorey]

There's plenty of space there for more people! Or about as much space as we have in the base at the moment. You can set all of this stuff there if you want.

[inject]

Thanks. [ Telepathy didn't lend itself well to sarcasm. She tried pouring a bit more on it to make it obvious. ] I'll think about doing that, while I'm analysing it to find out what it is.

[imsorey]

[he catches the tone anyways]

I guess that would be the logical solution, huh.

[inject]

[ She smiled. It wasn't the most pleasant of smiles, but at least she wasn't actively mocking him. ]

I guess it would.

Are you in them very often yourself?

[imsorey]

From time to time, yeah. I spend most of the day outside, but we've got a lot going at the labs, so I try to stop by once a day for a bit.

[inject]

[ She'll be sure to keep an eye out for him. ]

If that's the case, then I'm sure we'll be bosom buddies before very long.

[ No one was Valentine's bosom buddy, for long or for short. ]

[imsorey]

[He's got the general idea down. probably.]

I think the term is "lab partners", but yeah! I look forward to working with you.

[inject]

[ Right.

Wow, she really couldn't stand this sort of peppiness. But if he was going to be in the labs, she'd make an effort. ]

I prefer focusing on things closer to home, but I'm sure our research will cross over.

[imsorey]

Hmm? Closer to home like things from your home?

[inject]

To the base.

[ God, though. If she could find traces of theonic energy in this place she would abandon all of her current work to research it.

That was, after all, the goal. ]

Need a secure base before we can do anything otherwise, and that includes arming those who can't hold their own as well as others.
