<strong>Name</strong>: Geara.<br/><strong>Tagging</strong>: Jacob, Naru and Behm<br/><br/>The scantily-clad Al Bhed girl had been a useful and boon companion on the trip here, explaining she was "looking for interesting things."  She loudly declared "WOW!" as soon as the ship came into view.  "This is great!"  She'd dashed off to explore it and had been nearly invisible for some time thereafter, occasionally literally poking her head out of some hole or the other as she mapped it out, tagged things for later salvage and charted out the power core's leads.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=347123.msg16348362#msg16348362">Quote from: Angie on 28-11-2022, 08:26:02</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">The core is right where one would expect it. Despite Archadia using far more steel and fiber in their designs, the actual structure was tried and true for a long time...which appeared to be this ship's downfall, actually. The ship was mostly oak wood, which, if reinforced by iron like it should have been, would have been enough to resist most weapons of the era where these designs were common. <br/><br/>Whatever hit this thing wasn't most weapons. <br/><br/>The very obvious damage? The core was karking <em>CRACKED</em>. Magicite of this size did not crack easily. Odder still, the housing for the core was damn near intact, save for one large hole near what Jacob could only assume was the origin point of the crack. Getting in front of it and turning around, he was able to see a possible origin point of the hit, though time had weathered the wreckage to make it difficult to determine how large the hole this mysterious weapon could make.<br/><br/>While the magicite still held charge, repairing it would be a monumental task, and running it as is would result in Mist flowing in uncontrolled directions, causing build ups, explosions, or simple Mist exposure to the crew without proper ventilation. That would be possible but would require a lot of extra work and maintenance. It was almost worth wondering if they might luck out and find a replacement, or at least repair tools and appropriate magicite to work with, in the ruins they were heading out to...<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"This is going to need a lot of work..." Geara pouted, suddenly next to Jacob, rocking forward and back on her heels.<br/><br/>As Bem passed by and called out for "help," Geara waved back and called "Have fun!"<br/><br/>"If it wasn't a weapon, it could be a creature, something with a long, hard, shooting tongue" she proposed to Naru.  "That squeezed its way into the ship!  Mmm, or maybe a spell?"
