[video] a pirate's life for me

[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.

Ah, so it's time for this, then? My offer still stands. I'm afraid I can't navigate, but I can haul rope--ah.
...Or will this ship not have those?

I'd make a Jaws reference but I'm guessing you wouldn't get it.

Big shark. Boat's not big enough. Shit happens. It's a horror movie.

What I'm getting at is: what are you gonna do if there's a monster shark out there? Or something else that goes 'chomp' ?

Ah, then I'm ready! If you'll have me, of course.

hope the clouds let up some time out there. have to fly up to get star photos with the phone but theyre still pretty misty sometimes

will be hard to use if its always cloudy everywhere

It might be possible to build a submarine vessel, but it will take a LOT more time to construct than a surface ship will. And we'd have to recruit a lot more tech people. I can certainly handle some types of modern tech -- did it in the world I lived in before Hadriel -- but we'd need some specialists.

Personally, I'd go for building the brig sloop you were talking about and try to add some diving equipment. Though where we'd get that, I don't know, unless you want to settle for me and whatever techies we could recruit designing and fabricating some. Again, problem of time.

So, you're the captain, you decide. [ Grin. ]

Oh, btw, I know navigation. I'll just have to make a star map for this planet.

I am skilled at making plate metal, as I'm sure my kin told you. And it's not that much of a leap of technology to make sheet metal by rolling or casting. But again, time and materials. I still have a heap of Null bodies in my workshop, which I've been melting down or forging for hardware. But that pile is diminishing. There isn't enough metal left for the hard shell that would be needed for the submarine. We'd be stuck with asking the gods for materials, and we're already agreed on the undesirability of that.

But yes, that is what I would do -- explore all the potential ideas before making a decision.

[A plan to get information about the door that doesn't rely on anything from teh gods? That's everyone on the list to ping his interest.]

What's your plan for data collection? Have people swim around and hope for the best?

What about a ship's magician?

[Hello Law, he remembers you from the last time that you met him over drinks and spoke with him about both being pirate captains. He doesn't recall managing to slip this part into the conversation at the time, though.

He likes being able to surprise people.]
