May you survive!

Welcome everyone to May! With our third month in, we have another set of new arrivals. Thank you all for being so welcoming to them! We still have a few more appers coming in, so be sure to check out the OOC Introduction post. The IC introduction post will be going up shortly. Let’s hope everyone is ready for it!

As last month, we have updates based on what was done last month and two missions, a main and a side! This time, the main mission will also have a mini-event for everyone half-way through the month!

Updates!

Thanks to what you turned in for missions and what you noted on your AC posts, we have a number of updates to offer!

BIOMES
The Jelly Shroom Caves have been discovered under the Grassy Plateaus. They are currently unexplored! URSULA, however, has requested that the crew NOT explore these caves until they have better defenses. She encourages them to take on the Side Mission to accomplish this.

URSULA also notes that Floater Island will be passing by! There will be a post MAY 15th for a Floater Island mission as part of the monthly Main Mission. URSULA will be accompanying the crew on this mission to help gather information!

Lifepods have been appearing randomly in various areas overnight, as have large pieces of wreckage from the Aurora.

CREATURES
Research by characters reveals that Sand Shark armor works well against most smaller attackers and against fires. In addition, Reefbacks will now sense distress from crew members and if in the area try to defend them! It seems the crew has in general made friends with much of the ocean: Brain Corals in the current areas will warn if Stalkers are incoming by waving their weird worms around, and several Stalkers have been trained to understand the reward system and will even approach swimmers in a non-threatening way with gifts of metal or supplies on the assumption of a reward waiting for them. They may turn on swimmers if they aren’t rewarded for their efforts!

BASE
There is a new addition to the base: a Tiger Plant! This Tiger Plant in the lab will occasionally still try to fire needles at people. It's in a tank so it doesn't do any good but it is a very angry plant apparently. Watch out!

AURORA
The Aurora entrances mapped out, including the one to the storage supply room. This will make approaches to the Aurora, and exits from it, far easier to manage for those who take advantage of this knowledge! The Aurora has also been added to the list of Biomes!

FOOD
Several food missions have succeeded! Characters who want more variety can check out any of the foods added to the information on the KITCHEN section of the base page.

LIFEPOD BLACKBOX
A lifepod blackbox was discovered! If anyone goes to the lab to listen to its message, this recording play:

"This is an automated distress signal from Aurora Lifepod 17. Co-ordinates attached. Please send immediate emergency relief team" [silence followed by male voice] "You've been down too long in the midnight sea. Oh, don't you see what I mean?"

Monthly Missions!

As last month seemed to go well, we will follow the same format with one main mission that lets the crew work together on different parts, and one side mission that draws on extra benefits but isn't as urgent. We hope that this allows for more coherent efforts and are happy to work with you going forward on the best way to do missions! Remember you're also free to explore and do whatever you wish and can ask us about your own mission objectives as well.

MAIN MISSION: THOSE BEFORE YOU

• URSULA SAYS:"Recent events have me wondering about my former crew... Although I know it is likely they are dead, I want to hope they are alive and safe. If they are, they would no doubt be grateful for help from us. If they aren't... We should know what happened to them. This may protect the current crew! I have several leads that may help locate them."
• REQUIREMENTS: This mission will have two possible avenues of exploration! Crew members can visit the life pods and wreckage appearing, and must bring back whatever information they have to URSULA. She will decrypt what is found in black boxes and make it available to everyone.
  In addition, as stated earlier, on May 15th, there will be a post for Floater Island, where crew members can investigate the materials there! For this portion of the mission, we’ll be putting an OOC Questions thread within the IC Floater Island post so that you can tell us what you’re investigating and get results as you go!
• RESULTS: More information about the previous crew that may help the current crew. URSULA will be extremely grateful. In addition, any salvage found can be used by the crew. These particular missions may help the crew find more advanced synthetic materials for their work..

SIDE MISSION: DEFENSES

• URSULA SAYS: "The Reaper Leviathan... it certainly is fearsome. It is also possible it is not the apex predator of this region, though I hope I'm wrong. In order to stay safe, we need to build up weaponry and defenses. Many of you are fighters. Please, put your heads together to create something to protect yourselves."
• REQUIREMENTS: Git Gud. This mission can involve salvaging resources for weaponry or defences, designing or building said weaponry or defences, or even training fellows in how to better survive against some of the threats in the sea. Anything done to help the crew survive the ocean’s more threatening elements will work towards this
• RESULTS: Whatever you make! New armor, new weapons, or even new skills!

In addition, we have a continued call for Mod Applications! If you have any other questions or suggestions, let us know!

intro: dave can be found here being an idiot about apple seeds and/or making small talk! i'm also down to do wildcard things if you want something not included.

main mission: dave will probably be going he likes having shit to do and also ISLAND?

side missions: dave can either hand you shit for creating stuff or maybe help train people for fighting. he can fight even though he's not super into it, and he's not going to let himself slip when clearly it's still a thing he is going to have to be doing.

other: honestly shenanigans of any sort are my favorite so hit me up for anything...dave will be spending his spare time in stupid ways, i promise. and he has a lot of spare time.
