[video] a pirate's life for me

[hot_mes]

[much as he really should wait and learn more information generally, Law feels like he has enough to go on to make this...declaration. And question. Mostly question but there's some solid plans up in there too.]

Is there anyone present with the capability of building pressurized underwater vessel technology and passable engines from the parts we have at the lab? If not that, what about breathing apparatus for underwater exploration?

Without a submarine, at the very least we'll need a vessel capable of holding up to lengthy journeys and containing supplies for the trip. Curufin, Floki, it's time we got working.

[those who know him well might note the lack of his casual -ya on those names]

I'm sure our hosts will be on this soon enough, but I'm not waiting for them. I'm also not planning on taking the entire city on a pleasure cruise. When I form a crew it will be of the most capable and functionally useful sailors, fighters, and explorers only. And the position of captain is already taken. [S M U G] As is ship's doctor. I could use a navigator so long as their experience isn't solely a set of stars that don't exist here.

Of course. My navigator is from the Mink Tribe, and he's the best navigator and friend I could ask for. I owe my present state of health to a pair of dwarves. Just a few examples.

For now, I'd prefer to focus on what's relevant to our mission, as I'm sure you would. The rest can come later, if necessary.

The individual does not always reflect the culture or species at large... but at least you seem to set a good example. [And really, they've already agreed to work with each other so what's the point of needling Law with suspicions now? Glacius will find out just how true this all is for himself shortly, or so he imagines.]

Yes, that is agreeable. Keep me informed of your efforts in this regard and let me know if I can assist you. We will retrieve these pieces. [The ice alien won't let it happen any other way; his is an indomitable will when he has his hearts set on something.]
