Camp Booyah
The popularity of the Firink Range has been noted by the Inkling High Command, and they are pleased to announce the opening of a sister facility, Camp Booyah.
There is fear among some of the command that the words ‘obstacle course’ have a dreadfully negative opinion amongst recruits, especially those who were drafted to participate in the first round of testing suffered unfortunate, but inevitable puncture wounds. As such, an alternative to producing CQC Specialists is being developed in Camp Booyah.
Made from repurposed materials from the Spike Pit, Camp Booyah is designed as a close combat alternative to the Firink Range. The testing field has an outside loop for running laps and flanking with more traditional hurdles and climbing walls to build speed and endurance, while the middle field is a set of modular buildings that can be moved about to create an ever changing, and ever claustrophobic battlefield that encourages mobility and positioning over accuracy.
Included additions are pop-up stand-ins for Octolings and, of course, every Inklings favorite friend, Dofley. Dofley’s pop-up in particular is smartly armed with an alarm. If he is not shot quick enough, a loud buzz will be set off, signifying, but not actually splatting an Inkling. The hope is to condition Inklings to shoot Dofley the moment they see him, while also providing cathartic therapy to those poor souls scarred by Krakenbladers.
Of course, if the Inkantry aren’t up for shooting pop-ups, then they can always just shoot each other for fun. That’s basically why the Firink Range is there too, right?
