Need a few volunteers to help a project out
Gonna start blasting a pathway through the woods onto the next city
I have a compass to get us there but could always use others
Need some folks on hand to keep monsters out of the way if the blasts dont do it
Better for us to have something of a proper roadway especially since the lamps went on the fritz
And didnt stake down at first anyway
So lets at least make a path to follow so folks are less likely to get lost
Since that seems to be the thing lately
Roads gonna start out at the outpost first since thats a fair midway point and already accessible
After we get that path to riteior we can carve out the remaining from outpost back to the waystation
If youre in let me know we can meet up and start setting things in motion tomorrow or so

[siriusly]

Yeah
Myself and some others on guard to protect workers
Materials we can salvage from the busted parts of town that cant be fully restored

[wrenchedup]

well then! consider me officially rallied. pretty good at making shit explode but if you've got enough people there you can kinda stick me anywhere, tbh.

[siriusly]

I appreciate it
Looks like we can move faster than i thought

[wrenchedup]

np, dude. hit me up whenever shit get's started. the more bodies the better.. oh. i'm wrench, btw.

[siriusly]

Wrench
Are you an engineer by chance

[wrenchedup]

among other things 🔧

[siriusly]

Thats excellent
Mechanical or bio

[wrenchedup]

depends on whatcha lookin' for. [ OH HOW ENIGMATIC. ]

[siriusly]

I mean itd be nice if we had the knowhow to start getting more advanced transport and infrastructure going around here you know

[wrenchedup]

infrastructure is maybe not my strongest point. so the planning of what makes sense and how to make it make sense, eh. building the things, though. yeah, i can do that. i dabble in a lot of things but i've got the knowhow in building and programming machinery.

what's your place in all this? outta curiosity

PRIVATE
was gonna put an announcement out for this later, probably still will. but i found a spot in willful machine and kinda wanna make it a workshop and shared space type of thing for those tech and mechanically inclined. if you're interested, hit me up. happy to have you swing by

[siriusly]

That sounds like a great idea
Maybe someone can fill in the gaps for you
As for me im not a tech head
Cant make anything from scratch but i learned how to reassemble guns or fix surface level issues on trains and jets
It was part of basic in the SDF and basics what i got

[wrenchedup]

maintenance is super important, dude. that's good to know. you like being a mechanic?

alsooo. what isssss sdf?

[siriusly]

I wouldnt call myself a mechanic
I can follow instructions better than just guessing or banging on something until it works at least
SDF is space defense force

[wrenchedup]

[ hm. ] maybe i should ask what you would call yourself then? if you wanna share.

oh. ooh dude. you do shit in SPACE? [ of course there is a space army somewhere. ]

[siriusly]

I guess i dont really have a proper profession here anymore
I run the roost and i do shifts at the outpost and i do a lot of fixing up of places when im asked
But yeah before i was a sirius platoon officer in the SDF
Part of a team that did rescue and support on the galaxy railway
Most everything was out in space

[wrenchedup]

[ platoon officer :| he'll investigate a little more, but first: ]

the hell is the roost?

[siriusly]

Tavern in cellar door

[wrenchedup]

OH! Cool man. sorry, still getting acquainted with shit. platoon officer sounds hella official, tell me more dude. my world, eh. we can go to space but its nothing like this it sounds like.

[siriusly]

Not sure what you would want to know
SDF does a lot of things where im from
Mostly with the galaxy railways where i worked
Different platoons for different tasks
Sirius platoon was an all rounder group

[wrenchedup]

what can i say, i'm a nosy nerd who likes to know shit. lingo like platoon means military in my world but sounds like things are different out there? also: literally a railway in the sky??? or nah

[siriusly]

The metal rails stop at an angle on the ground once the trains have enough speed to escape the atmosphere
After that its not tracks its more like magnetic gates through space the trains travel through

[wrenchedup]

[ that is the wildest fucking shit he has ever heard in his life. literal trains in space and the weirdest thing is he could think of a way, in his world, that... you know, it might actually work. like its not actually the most insane thing. ]

HUH.

[ good sentence. ]

[siriusly]

[great sentence very clear if that's a questioning "huh" or an acknowledging "huh"

Manabu assumes the former.]

No gravity in space it wouldnt make sense to have metal rails
Magnetized gates keep trains on course and emit low energy fields to deflect space debris

[wrenchedup]

uh, yeah. got that. just kind of visualizing the whole trains in space thing. i mean, why not build spaceships. guess they are spaceships in a way though, huh?



can't say astrophysics is something i'm all that brushed up on, but. anyway, sounds cool.

[siriusly]

The trains serve the same function but just work better
Some of our platoon vessels have smaller ships but we wouldnt want to be ferrying passengers in those its not as comfortable for them
Trains started on the land centuries ago
I guess people just wanted to travel with something familiar into unfamiliar spaces
