monolith revisited | mingle
One fine morning, a boyish voice broadcasts to everyone around base:
There's a lot left to explore inside the Monolith, so I'll be visiting it today. If anyone else wants to come along, feel free.
Once all interested parties are assembled and traveling arrangements sorted out, they're off to the Monolith! Given the length of the journey, this will be a real time investment. A one-way trip takes nearly two hours by flight. Traveling in silence? Boring. How should they occupy their time? Travel games? Joy rides in the Seamoth? Maybe even some old-fashioned chit chat??
Once they arrive, there's plenty to explore. With some sniffing around, they'll find a map revealing that the Monolith contains a cafe and common area, crew quarters, lab, med bay, and "special alien containment" room. However, it'll take some ingenuity to actually reach each area. And by ingenuity I mean bombs.
Which is why the group will need a demolition crew! Get to blasting those walls in logical places. Or illogical places. No one ever said it had to be a good demolition crew. With enough willful destruction, surely all of the the Monolith's secrets will be laid bare in no time.
(( Here are the full details on what can be found in the Monolith! Create your own topics and go nuts. ))

GYAAAH!

the gun back over her shoulder, dropping her stance.
Where is ...? Oh. Knowing that she couldn't possibly have interpreted "blow it up," she's surprised by Loki's reaction.] That was a localized detonation.
no subject
It's fine, it's fine. It was just a bit much for my heart, I guess.
[ Really though, he's just prone to being overdramatic... ]
Thanks for the assistance, Miss...?
no subject
HorΕ. My weapon is less useful underwater, so I am relieved it's found a purpose in this expedition.
[She looks back at the scene of the explosion.]
Why do you suppose the walls have been sealed?
no subject
It's difficult to say whether they were sealed on purpose or just lost in translation when the ship was "converted into a land marker". The captain's matter-of-fact description leads me to believe that it was a built-in function of the ship. I suppose its commitment to being a landmark took precedence over convenience for potential explorers like us.
[ Like what were the chances that the first people to come along would have explosives on hand?? Loki likes to believe that most people are not like their crew, which probably has more bombs than actual people by now. ]
