bonomialJuly 9 - Telepathy
[Things in the base have calmed down by now. Nobody's inexplicably trying to drown themselves anymore, and the lull means Donatello has been able to think about an idea that's been coalescing in his mind for months now.]
You know what we don't have, yet? A submarine. URSULA has blueprints; I've seen them when I went through the lab databases. [His mental voice is way too excited for his own good.] I think we should give our base's tech a little upgrade. Who's with me?
[If you are, feel free to speak up! If you anticipate some horrible disaster... well, it wouldn't be the first time.]
Throughout the Month - Action
[Thanks to URSULA's help, the Shell Sub mk. II has begun construction!
The project springs to life as a dry dock near the lab's technological rooms, courtesy of a small entourage of drones. Don's easily found nearby, going over plans on his wrist computer, occasionally adding to the blueprints he's making. Feel free to suggest additions or changes! This sub will be the entire base's new toy, after all. Tech-savvy characters might get Don's attention better than someone who just wants to add random spikes or something, though.
As work continues, the submarine's systems begin to take form. Drones occasionally drift in and out of the room, possibly annoying any characters who just want to use the labs in peace. Don's elbow-deep in machine parts, welding metal to metal, spraying sealant over anything needing waterproofing, weighting ballast tanks... he's right in the action. Someone should probably get him to rest at some point. Or maybe they'd just want to stop and stare at the Turtle making a submarine? (Is that monstrosity really a submarine, though.)
Once the submarine's main body has been completed, the weaponry will require development. URSULA suggested torpedoes. If nobody convinces Don otherwise, he is one-hundred-percent installing torpedoes. Maybe your character would have something to say about that?
The submarine will probably be finished construction by July 31st depending on how many people lend a hand, though there's still the matter of decorating it and finding a good place to tether it for the long term. Bring on the terrible paint jobs.]
July 19 - Action
[Your character might catch Don in a quiet moment, maybe even nursing coffee (real coffee, he missed it so much, shell) or tucking into a Red Roll and sashimi meal at the work bench near the dry dock. He's looking over the Shell Sub, a wistful sort of smile on his face as he swirls the remaining coffee in the cup. He talks to himself, in a way that suggests he might be expecting someone else to listen.]
Even with all the construction work, this base is way too quiet. It's just not home without all that city noise.
[If he notices your character, maybe he'll ask a follow-up question:]
Is there anything you find yourself missing, even if you didn't expect to?
