Stop me if you've heard the news already.

At the mid-month mark, I have a small team* flying down to the Kamchatka Peninsula to reclaim the deserted submarine base town of Bechevinka. The estimated capacity would be just shy of 900, above and below ground combined, if all the buildings are deemed viable by our resident architect. There've been long-time rumors of submarines being left down there after the Cold War ended, and I'm hoping that holds true. We could use more active vessels.

Wish them happy hunting.

ENGINEERING + DOM.

Recommendations for getting through thick metal bunker doors? Would a blowtorch get through the locking mechanisms?

TEAM KAMCHATKA.

With all of my chest, it is my sacred duty as mission lead to advise the following things:

• Do not pet the sea lions. If you go in the water, be careful of any rusted wreckage. We don't have any tetanus shots on board.
  
• If it's brown, lay down.
  
• Listen to Dom. He'll be your lead on the ground.
  
• Dom, listen to Nadine or Ishaan is going to push me off the ship.

[...] RONEN.

When do you want Alonzo back?

ADRI & PHILIP.

I need to confess something. [....] It's about Jamie.

(*ooc note: all relevant leadership were off-screen alerted to these volunteers this morning! they are delilah, apollo, jamie, and sloane. ishaan already knows.)

Depends how thick we are talking. Just the locking mechanism, probably.

[jaxsons]

Not sure, but it was a military base and they had civilians in town. I imagine it's not something you can use a magnet to get open.

[adrii]

'Confess' makes it sound like you did something wrong.

St Aldries.

[jaxsons]

Yeah, I'm actually confessing to a crime. Want to be my fake alibi?

[loculus]

No one's wished me "happy hunting" yet and it's done me no favours in my attempt to feel more rugged.

[adrii]

Happy don't fall into the sea.

[jaxsons]

Happy hunting. Be good.

[reidings]

Can I wish happy hunting to myself?

Kamchatka
Glad two of these warnings are related to wildlife. Incredibly reassuring.

[andcaboodle]

You're going?

[jaxsons]

It's a little weird, but you do you, honey.

bear safety is not a joking matter

[foundlostfound]

He’s right this time.
Are we going to carry bear spray or anything.

[delilahs]

But I want to befriend a sea lion

[jaxsons]

And I want a bear cub, but we'll have to settle.

[archiees]

Submarines! That's cool!

[jaxsons]

As long as they haven't been rotting underwater since 1996, we could use them.

[medani]

"Deserted submarine base town" really has a ring to it.

[jaxsons]

I thought so. Apparently it's bears that like to visit.

[reidings]

It’s a great place for a vacation, I’ve heard

Rock.

[rjacobson]

If you wanted to keep him over the weekend, you'd be doing me a huge favor. I'm trying to work my way through a research project and it's at a key point.
But if you need a break from his furry little butt, I can pick him up tonight.

Rock.

[jaxsons]

[...] No, I can keep him over the weekend.

[andcaboodle]

Congrats on getting the project approved. Are you going down or manning it from here?

[jaxsons]

Thanks, Kit Kat. I'm manning it from the command center, and Dom will be taking the lead on the ground.

[searlait]

You didn't give me a chance to stop you.

[jaxsons]

Damn. I got ahead of myself.

[oneirophrenic]

If you happen to come across any submarines, I would humbly request that one be christened Operation Petticoat.

[adrii]

I'm going to ground for a few days next week. Don't touch my bed.
