Crashed Frigate Plotting
A derelict starship of alien origin has crash landed out in the junkpile, though it seems to have been damaged before it had gone through the Lambda. On the side of it's partially buried nose is stamped it's name: PRAEXIS. There are a few barely detectable dormant life signs inside, ones that are not quite organic or synthetic. The signatures appear to be originating from the engineering deck and drive core, but otherwise holds nothing of obvious interest.
---
So who's up for exploring a creepy derelict ship? In about a week or so, Garrus is going to try to get a team together to explore the turian frigate Praexis in hopes of finding a fairly stable food supply(via comm post and later a log). It sucks being unable to eat human food, it really does. Now while that is the primary motivator for him, there's a lot of other things that can be done for some fun CR or other devious plottings. And it can always be visited later on as a location on it'.
TIMELINE
The event will happen during the item drop (so between Dec 24-31) over the course of around a day. This is how I see things going down:
- DISCOVERY: It's a big, big junkyard out there. While I planned on having it's discovery be happenstance, it's much more likely someone who could fly/hover/drive would have spotted the ship first. If anyone's interested in this aspect it can totally be worked in.
- EXPLORATION: Upon it's discovery, Garrus is going to try to assemble a team to help explore the insides of the ship and see what they can recover (as well as investigate those life signs). Anyone willing to help can be brought along, the ship is going to have numerous supplies that will be listed later that can be picked up. The only limiting factor was that the frigate was made for turians, 6-foot tall humanoids. Someone who's over 12-15 feet tall is going to have a tough time squeezing into the ship's hallways.
- FIREFIGHT: Now what creepy discovery would be complete without a little action? The Engineering Deck and Drive Core are going to have about 3 dozen turian husks that will remain dormant until the doors are cut open. Unlike regular husks, these are intelligent and armed with some shielding, assault rifles and grenades. Now, a quick reminder is that these are ~*space guns*~, meant to puncture through hard suits that can do a pretty good job of weathering atmospheric re-entry. They're going to have some bite to them. The outcome of the fight can be decided with RNGs to keep it interesting (or if we figure out something preplanned that works too!).
- SUPPLY RECOVERY: Now that the danger's over, the ship can be explored and all the stuff can be gathered, whoo! Anyone who is part of the team will be totally open to grab stuff.
SALVAGEABLE MATERIALS
- turian military rations (only edible for turians and quarians)
- medicinal supplies: medi-gel, and other supplies specific to the turian species.
- industrial supplies: omni-gel, a liquid solution of ceramics, plastics, and alloys that can be used to repair machinery.
- element zero, a substance that emits dark energy when charged with electricity. Found in the ship's drive core and engines.
- armory: some extra heatsinks and alternate ammo packs(these are for a specific type of weaponry and are pretty useless unless one wants to modify/research it)
- electronics from the computers
- * permanently damaged mass accelerator cannons (the ship was a military vessel, after all.)
- * Reaper nanomachines within the husks. Basically a synthetic 'virus' that converts the host into a Reaper agent. They communicate using entangled particles. Harmless unless properly injected into a host body, where they begin to self-replicate.

I doubt she'll be able to really fight, so she won't make it past exploration. She might need someone to hightail her out of there when things get rough, even if I think we discussed Garrus getting her a pistol. She's still a newbie )8

She'd still be free to grab stuff once the firefight's done if anything catches her eye.

He flies regularly all over Haven - both in sort of security/scouting runs and just for the hell of it - so I could have him spot it if you still need someone to. =3

Discovery is totally alright though! Would you want to do it in a log or a comm post?
no subject
I'm open for either. Which would work better for people, you think?

I'll get that post up when I get home tonight. Thanks! 8D

BUT! if no one ends up swiping those permadamaged canons and the element zero --> SIGN MY DUDE UP. He'll just sweep on through when everything done and be all "Oh, how presh; this stuff would look lovely on my robot lawn." And a husk corpse would look EXTRA lovely on Prima's Crystal tree.
Wouldn't you enjoy opening your window and seeing that little taste of home hanging in the tree, Garrus? It can be a holiday gift just for you. -- Love, your polarity buddy, Tarn.
XOXO

And sure! He could probably find a big pile of dust-form element zero leaking out of the engines. It'd be easier than tearing up the ship hull to get to the Drive Core.
As for the cannons, there's two of them to pull out, one under each wing. In case he wants a matching set of fabulous, gigantic tiki torches. They'll need mod clearance before they can get repaired though, just to figure out how things will go down.
no subject
I dunno if he'd go for dust, but he might just start dismantling the entire ship and try to take home the interesting bits. Like the engine, and whatever is left of the bits that take care of thrust. He might go for the drive core too.
Think that would fly?
no subject
Hmm.. I like the idea of tech from the ship being cannibalized and mashed together to eventually be part of something new (Which is what I assume he's going to be using the engines and drive core for? At least at some point in the future idek.). I didn't have any clear thing planned out for the ship's immediate fate, so why the heck not.
Garrus will be surprised how it got torn apart so quickly. B( HE LEFT FOR LIKE TEN MINS TO PUT THE FOOD AWAY.
no subject
To receiving glowing reviews, I'm sure.
And yeah, he'd probably do something like that. He needs a hobby since he's currently not murdering people right now and is Soooooo boooored.
AND THEN GARRUS COMES BACK, AND THE SHIP IS BEING TOWED AWAY BY THIS IMPRESSIVELY LARGE TANK. Hey mate, if you wanted it, you shoulda put a ring on it. :|
