For those that can read this, send a message to Colonel von Doom,
I'm Beta testing his new encryption system.
This is mostly for Dark Elf, but anyone else who can read it should
find this amusing.
Your people were worried about the Entrepid shelling you? Don't
worry, they're dead in the water. Oh, I can also explain why
Tirandor hasn't been making his presence felt immediately on land.
After I saw your request, I talked to Shwunsi (my girlfriend, a
dolphin shaman). She talked to her pod, and they said that they
would help with a distraction while I went in. It seems that the
Omega security forces have dumped all sorts of shit off of those
container ships they've intercepted. Dolphin doesn't find that
very amusing. So, the pod called up several *BIG* water elementals
(I've been around water elementals, I know what they look like when
they manifest. I haven't seen elementals this big since I was in
the military!)
While the elementals gathered up lots of trash, myself and a buddy
with a rigged submarine moved in as close as possible. Stupid
creeps were running active sonar! Wench (yes, she really calls
herself that) has active damping on the sub, and the huge cloud
of metal and plastic swelling off the bottom didn't help the
Entrepids sonar. :)
As the garbage soared out of the water and splatted on the deck
where Tirandor was sunning himself, I slipped out the subs air-
lock and headed for the main prop shafts. Shwunsi appeared next
to me (I hate it when she does that, scares the hell out of me)
and I felt a water elemental pulling me along. Very helpfull those
elementals.
Shwunsi just told me that while I was busy underwater, those big
elementals were pestering Tirandor by putting the garbage back
everytime he tried to get rid of it. Of course, having her entire
pod calling up new ones everytime one of their elementals got sent
away didn't hurt. :)
I found the main shafts. Big suckers, too. I packed their main
bearings with C-12, about 20 kilos per shaft. I knew I didn't
have enough along to crack her hull, but a nice ring of C-12 around
each bearing did wonders. I imagine her engine room will be
inaccessible for a while, and they are going to have to replace both
shafts. If you see any sea going tugs leaving the island, shoot
them! The Entrepid is NOT moving under her own power for a while.
(Oh, for those who are worried about her reactor, don't. It is
in the center of the ship and won't have been effected by the hole
in the main bearings in the least.)
The Entrepid is currently adrift 50 klicks north of Omega City.
Sorry, but she's still in range for her planes, but not for the
guns.
Good luck.
P.S. Shwunsi says to tell any mages with you that her pod is
willing to help remotely, including "5 initiates" whatever that
means. (Personally, I'd say don't count on them to tight. Dolphins
and Dolphin shamans are a bit flighty. I was amazed when I didn't
get forgotten in the middle of the mission!)
