Some time ago, I posited the idea of building a ship. While it was met with derision by some -- [You know who you are.] -- recent events have convinced me that there is no other reasonable course of action.

We are entering a time of ease now, and I feel very strongly that we must act before the next catastrophe arises. While we have the opportunity and the materials, we can construct a proper ship. This will give us the freedom to explore beyond the turtle's shell, and give us a means of escape, should it sicken again.

I believe there is enough wood from the homes destroyed when the satellite fell to salvage and build a modest ship. It will not hold all of us, but it is a fine start. With more mobility, I believe we can find the materials we need to make a proper go of it.

For those who question my qualifications, I am an Admiral of his Majesty's navy, formerly in the employ of the East India Trading Company. I have more than the proper qualifications to oversee the construction and voyages of such a vessel.

[While he doesn't want to think about what might happen if Asti grows ill again (he doesn't think escape is necessarily possible, believing them all linked to the turtle in ways they don't fully understand), a small ship isn't such a bad idea if the barrier ever expands enough to allow for much exploration.]

The boat my father and I had when I was growing up was a more modern one, but I imagine I could assist if you need more hands.

Great! [Boats. :D] Just let me know when and where you need me.

I can handle anything that needs to be done in the water, or nearly anything else. I'm a lot stronger than you might expect. I'm sure I could also assist with applying some Atlantean waterproofing techniques to the hull.

Particular chemical processes, mostly scientific, a touch of lesser magic. We'd be entirely without paper and books otherwise.

[You all are the aliens in his ocean. >:c]

I imagine it'd be just as effective on wood as it is on parchment.

Of course, I'm glad to. It's a worthy project.
