I'm thinking I will let each team customize their sub a bit. Use this time now to try crazy stuff you think you might want built into your sub.
"Gunner, prepare to fire electric stun grenades at the beast. Fire when ready.
Helmsman, it looks like we might be able to afford a more careful exit, so try to give a little more slack to the harpoon line. Watch the sonar carefully."

Meanwhile, I scurry around trying to fix more damage again.

GigaGiant begins to extend the rope slowly and Nakéem slows down.

Even with the eel thrashing about, the creek of strain is noticably reduced.

//Sonar is a manned station. I will give continuous updates while they stay active in the game. (If they are/were recently online aswell)

You find another and begin to patch it up. Finished. The pump seems to be lowering the water. All fixed up.

Re: Sonar, that was more flavourtext than anything. A reminder to watch out for threats while I am away from the periscope.

Which I should get back to now in case something comes up, i suppose. I'll transition to manning the harpoon if and when it becomes necessary for GigaGiant to ready another weapon, though.

Keep in mind which direction you choose to study...

Yes, of course I'm counting on the sonar player to tell me which directions are of interest.
In lieu of any other obvious targets I suppose I will watch the beast, but swivel around every so often just in case.

Alright we seem to have 3 active players...

So I will make 5 stations:
A (front)
B (left)
C (right)
D (top)
E (back)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You guys can decide what is in each station, except for one. Which will have the power balance station..

Currently we have:

F. Harpoon
L. Torpedo
R. Sonar + Map + Steering
T. Periscope
B. My gizmos

General: portholes, Depth/Speed/Direction/ect, leak awareness

*From now on, "Depth/Speed/Direction/ect" will be PMd to the person steering whenever they manually adjust something or ask for it.

Success related to a station will be PMd to the one manning it when not obvious.

Leaks will now come from one of the 5 stations. To repair, you need to say which you will go to. Someone in that station will be aware of it.

"Sorry Cap'n, seems like last night's clam pot wasn't that fresh"

Go to R to watch the sonar, and man the sub

If you manually operate your station you get the best of two rolls.

If you move to an adjacent station then use it, or if you use your current station via afk captain command you get 1 roll.

If you move through two stations your turn ends.

There is greater roll saves if two actions combo to achieve a goal.

Continue watching the harpoon carefully. If told by the Captain to do something else, follow orders.

No new information on this front, steady on for the moment.

If we get electric stun grenades, I'll transfer to harpoon and order the gunner to stun the Giant Death Eel for easier recovery.

If a GPS is not an available tech device, attempt to calculate our position (or rough position, no need to go full coordinates if that is too complicated) using maths magicks.

Sending PMs before updates. So if you didnt get one you wont.


Spoiler: periscope, new weapon (click to show/hide)

Alright it's something a little different. You can send juice through the harpoon to stun or fry a living target. Wont do much to an enemy sub beyond a typical harpoon.

If the juice is turned up high, non essential sub systems(sonar, gps, ect) will temporarily shut down.

Tip with the pariscope is that it is blind to straight up or below the sub.. (more trivia than n e thing)



Spoiler: Sonar, GPS (click to show/hide)

GPS is smart. ...I'll get it online eventually...



Continue watching the harpoon carefully. If told by the Captain to do something else, follow orders.

The eel seems to be winning the tog-o-war all of a sudden!

Hmm, our engine needs to be swapped. It's just a backup and it's about to die.

Choose an engine!!!

Model P
Virtually silent. Slowest, but barely.

Model K
Sturdy. Max speed goes down if the sub hasn't surfaced in awhile.

Model N
Fastest. Leaves a heat signature. Dangerous if not repaired quickly.

Gunner, zap that thing until it stops twitching.

I'm thinking we go with K. We're probably going to want to surface regularly anyway. But I want to hear the rest of your thoughts.
