"Well, that went better than it could have, all things considered."

Nyw nods, responding with a surprisingly cheery tone "Indeed!  For a moment, I believed this to be my time.  Thank you Adam, Ashul; your rapid reactions saved many lives today.  Pity about the moth, but all told I expected much greater losses!"

"Brother Adam, Honored Nyw, may I suggest we institute a standing policy that, on this Bore and in our crew, all relic fragments must be handed over to one of us for safekeeping until we can decide that their Diving efforts will not ..." AsHul waves at the anomaly, his arm moving in staccato bursts.

"A wise suggestion, yes.  This is the second time a novice diver has destroyed themself through the spheres, and..." Nyw looks down at the unconscious mole "...I've long lost track of the number of minor failures.  For all our sakes, I will try to help ensure this is the last suicide."

Rhea Alcove notices the fungus and tries to leave the bore, cutting at some of the fungus with her Cleaver

First, before anything else, if the above action is actually happening as described, decapitate this lady immediately.  With the Murakumo.  Naturegirl of course isn't intending to try and remove the seal, and probably shouldn't be able to regardless, but that's her action, and Nyw will react to that action as an attempt to kill everyone present.

If sanity prevails and the newbie doesn't attempt to kill us all, return Adam's black flame, then tie up the unconscious mole diver.  Better safe than sorry.  Afterwards, go searching around the bore for injured and wounded; explain what happened and the current situation to any crew found, and if the newbie is encountered, politely ask her if she is a diver or otherwise in possession of a relic fragment.  EDIT: Naturegirl fixed her action, and is apparently just skipping over the RP opportunity, so nevermind!  Nyw just takes her relic fragment.

Also, what's the status of Nyw's two human followers?  I believe both are out in the Ethral town and therefore safe, but checking is prolly wise.

((Not immediately speaking to Rhea because I kinda doubt she really gets to spawn instantly into the same room as the rest of the divers.  This way lets Piecewise establish where she is.))

[Radio Controlled]

: If you guys wanna head on somewhere else, feel free to do so. I'll need at least a couple of days here. Just leave the crawler if you don't need it. :

Over radio: "I thought we were going to explore the ruins with the whole team, were we not? Isn't that the reason we all came down here for?"

"I'll take a look, just tell me what the hell happened."

"One of our new compatriots turned out to be a tad bit overambitious with regards to her capacity for diving into the spheres. We've seen things like this before, though not quite as destructive."

"Brother Adam, Honored Nyw, may I suggest we institute a standing policy that, on this Bore and in our crew, all relic fragments must be handed over to one of us for safekeeping until we can decide that their Diving efforts will not ..." AsHul waves at the anomaly, his arm moving in staccato bursts.

"A prudent proposal, though one has to wonder how half of the locales in our subterranean world haven't been consumed yet in a conflagration of overzealous, incompetent or malicious diver mishaps, given the apparent lack of oversight on relic fragments or their users. God provides, I suppose."

"A wise suggestion, yes.  This is the second time a novice diver has destroyed themself through the spheres, and..." Nyw looks down at the unconscious mole "...I've long lost track of the number of minor failures.  For all our sakes, I will try to help ensure this is the last suicide."

"Thank you, honorable ancestor, for your continued vigilance and expeditious responses. May god watch over you as you watch over us."

"Thank you, honorable ancestor, for your continued vigilance and expeditious responses. May god watch over you as you watch over us."

"I imagine we have been getting a rather higher concentration of unsupervised fragments than is typical among the civilized. We are a rather ramshackle crew, of low standing and questionable pedigree. as such, it seems likely that we attract more than the normal amount of troublemakers. As well, I am certain that more than a few incidents such as this have happened, wherever Divers have been present in this world. We sit atop caverns full of ruins, aberrations, twisted things, and even extinct races. Undoubtedly, the naive application of Diving has been involved in a fair number of those situations."

[banelord]

Wake up to relic fragment being retrieved.

"Brother Adam, Honored Nyw, may I suggest we institute a standing policy that, on this Bore and in our crew, all relic fragments must be handed over to one of us for safekeeping until we can decide that their Diving efforts will not ..." AsHul waves at the anomaly, his arm moving in staccato bursts.

"Excuse me, could I have that back. That dive was unfortunate, and whatever that mess over there," he indicates to the seal, "was, I was uninvolved with, but our undead companion here was prepared for my incident. I'll stick to the mundane mechanical for now, I need to check how this arm works and to ensure that nothing on my body starts protesting or decaying as a result. I also need to work on making some instruments for you. But if you don't give the fragment back I won't have ready access to minor works, and don't just say you can give it back if I need it, because you aren't going to be sticking to me like a Cave Hawk I presume."

"Well, that went better than it could have, all things considered."

First things first, closely inspect the seal we made and try to determine if it will hold. Is the portal inside stable or still growing more powerful?
If it seems good, go yell at our brave compatriots that the coast is clear. 

What does the seal seem to be 'made of'? And how is the seal interacting with the bore exactly? The shell filaments are fused to parts of the bore, correct? Does it look like we could 'cut out' the portal and shell by cutting around the metal it is fused to? If yes, could we transport it?

Oh, and take back the black flame I had given to Nyw.

"I'll take a look at the seal we made to determine its condition, could one of you fine technically-minded folks do a damage assessment of the bore and what we'll need to repair it? Harm, Alex, you guys up for that?"

Spoiler: Adam Blavatsky Darvaza (click to show/hide)

Name: Adam Blavatsky Darvaza
Description: A young man of slightly pale complexion and eternal 9 o’clock shadow, he was raised in a small village. While the village priest and passing mystics droned with endless sermons of the Church and their teachings, what had always captivated young Adam’s attention more were the stories of his Granny.
Old stories of the world as it once was, before people were forced to flee to the caves and crannies of this damp hell. Of warm days where pleasant green plants tickled your feet as you walked through them and a cool breeze blew through your hair. Where food was plentiful, nature was benign and endless vistas reached as far as they eye could see.
Adam was nominally a card-carrying member of the church, though he mostly did it for the connections and perks that brought. They were powerful and had ancient lore, all things he would need to fulfill his true heart’s desire: to return to the surface, vanquish the madness that tainted their homeland and reconquer paradise.
After his encounter with a Word of God, the edges of his vision are flickering with black flame and his skin is extremely pale with what appear to be black veins instead of the normal blue ones. It also forced him to reevaluate his views on the cthonic church and god.
Goal: Plunge the secrets of the depths below to find an answer to the horrors above.

It seems to be holding and the portal seems stable.

The seal seems to be made of glass, though thats only the closest analog you can think of. Its smooth, transparent, slightly crystalline like cut glass. And yes, its got "Roots" extending out all around it. Cutting it out would require you to cut out...hard to say but a lot of the bore's middle. It would probably require a dock and specialized tools to make sure the bore didn't collapse as you stripped sections of it away.  The thing is in there like a weed, all curled and knotted around everything.

Ok.

: If you guys wanna head on somewhere else, feel free to do so. I'll need at least a couple of days here. Just leave the crawler if you don't need it. :

I'm fine with waiting a couple of days for the expedition, I don't have anything to do at the moment. While I wait, go check out the scientists and see if I can get them to tell me anything fun/interesting/exciting about what they do/learn here. Oh, and ask if I can bring guns to the expedition.

You poke around and try to, through investigation, conversation, and inferences figure out something neat about the place. You discover that it seems like the moths realize the city is growing out of control and they're actually making use of it; harvesting the grown stuff and leaving the old stuff in place. Gives you the feeling they might prefer to keep it has it is. They might be using that raw material for...unscientific goals.

The thing is fucked. Well, maybe not fucked but its definitely damaged. It managed to tear into a lot of the between deck plates during its rampage and puncture holes in the walls. This thing is about as water or air tight as a sponge and the extensive damage means it could fail if put under too much stress. You think that there should be some emergency repairs and reinforcing done on it before it moves again, or it might just split in two.

We'll assume you're outside the bore.

AsHul's face slumps on one side, as if he's had a sudden stroke. Teh other side twists into a gnarled mass, one wiry eyebrow lowering deeply across his camera lens eye. a hint of a tinny echo and the sound of a scratched record touch his voice as he speaks in weary irritation.

"Honored One, would you please restrain that fool attempting to destroy the seal we just made which prevents the rest of us from being consumed by creation? Also, if you would, check the pathetic thing for any relic fragments it might have. I grow weary of cleaning up what remains of these reckless fools."

Remove and pocket the relic fragment from the unconscious Mole Diver. Only after this fragment and "Rhea Alcove"s fragment are secured, kick the Mole awake.

"Brother Adam, Honored Nyw, may I suggest we institute a standing policy that, on this Bore and in our crew, all relic fragments must be handed over to one of us for safekeeping until we can decide that their Diving efforts will not ..."

Your boys are fine. And also unharmed~

We'll assume you tie up mole, check to make sure no one is injured, and take the fragment from the new girl.

[Ozarck]

"Here is what I propose. Any Diver must surrender their relic fragments upon arrival to the Bore, for safekeeping as long as the Diver is on the Bore.

Should one wish to leave the Bore, the fragment may be returned without question, unless that Diver is accompanying an expedition party, in which case, the Diver must gain the approval of said party to carry their fragment.

On the Bore, any Diver may request their fragment for a specific Dive. The Dive must be outlined to one or the other of our more experienced Divers, who will determine the intensity of the dive and likelihood of catastrophic failure before approving the Dive request. Dives will be monitored for the safety of the crew and what remains of the Bore.

If a Diver demonstrates competence with their Dives, the leaders may decide to allow them to carry their fragments on the Bore unsupervised.

The same rules apply to the Warehouse or any other holdings this company might acquire. Feel free to Dive to your heart's content anywhere else than our holdings."
