Repairs and construction [Open to any and all, especially those helping with the repairs]

[curiousredsoul]

Who: OPEN! Especially people interested in infrastructure.
Where: Assorted locations around the city, and the locations for construction of the new safe zones.
Summary: Celena being a busy dragon and overseeing and coordinating construction efforts.

The last few weeks since the attacks had been exceedingly busy ones for Celena, from working on repairs to the city, working out locations and methods of construction for the new shelters that would act as safe zones for the crew as well as her own projects on the side, such as the construction of a number of new gateway devices in preparation of the construction of the catenary that would link them even while in the bleed.

Today however Celena's sole focus was on the repairs and construction going on within the city. Her wings easily taking her from site to site, helping where she could with those who were working there before she moved on to the next site. Making her way around the city at large until she made her way to the first of the locations that she had set to become the first of the shelters.

Landing in the street by the construction site she padded on over. The location in question had previously been what had looked to be a storage facility of some kind at least from what she had gathered from the ruins of it, the upper floors were complete ruins and had been since cleared away, what usable materials that could be salvaged had been. The lower floors and indeed the sturdy basements beneath had fortunately remained intact. Out the front of the building stood one of her knowledge crystals, displaying an interactive holographic display of the plans for repair and fortification of the building that were soon to commence.


(OOC: Feel free to run into her at any of the locations, especially if the character is interested in or already helping with the repairs and/or construction work!)

Xander was whistling as he headed over with some of his tools from the shop. He even had a hard hat on since well safety first of course. He'd been on enough sites to be careful.

"How we looking?"

[curiousredsoul]

Celena canted her head and cast a look over her shoulder to the one approaching before dipping her head in greetings, noting the hard hat he wore, safety was always an advantage in such sites. She had her own methods of course though.

"The majority of the damage to the upper portions has been cleared, there is still a few portions that need to be cleared within the lower floors, nothing that will hinder initial construction efforts however,"

[shiest_sunbeam]

Soon enough, here comes a familiar face with the usual timid smile eager to please. Ronnae hurries up as she sees Celena and waves as she gets close, "Celena!" she greeted once she reached her.

"Ready for anything we need to hit up! I'm good to also sit down and go over any additional note you might want to go over as far as the portal and teleportation project."

[curiousredsoul]

Celena cast a cheerful smile in Ronnae's direction as she hurried over to her, lifting a wing in return to the wave given, "Ronnae, good to see you,"

"There is still a few portions of rubble still in the main level of the building, but nothing that will impede work, otherwise reinforcement of the outer walls of the structure can begin," She comments as she gestures to the small hologram of the building before them, the main portions fading to reveal the indicated walls and rubble.

"I would be happy to do either, I've many of the gates underway and in progress so that when the chance arises the links may be established," She had been a busy dragoness the last few weeks that was for sure.

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae listened intently looking over the hologram and making mental notes, gears in her head already rolling excitedly. Boy did she love this kind of thing!

She turned to smile at her friend and nodded, "Well, we can get some of the structural work easy," she added as she pointed to a few of the places that needed the most work. "Then afterwards, maybe during a break, we can go over other plans over some nice delicious slop~" of course the last bits had been a playful joke, who really enjoyed slop? But the time they'd spend together would be well-worth anything the slop can toss at them and more! She always loved hanging out with her friend.

[curiousredsoul]

Celena dipped her head with a smile, "Indeed, that work should be relatively simple to complete, would do well to get it done to ensure the structural stability of the building all the more so the heavier work can be completed," she nodded thoughtfully as she looked over the indicated portions and highlighted them as work to be done as a priority.

She couldn't help but give a chuckle at that, peering back to Ronnae, "Indeed, I would be quite interested in going over such other plans, best to ensure that plans mesh and work together properly after all, and indeed I am interested in learning more of your teleporter system," She commented with something of a grin. Discussing and discovering new things in such a way was something she enjoyed immensely after all.

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae was practically beaming at this point. Spending time with a dear friend, building, and talking shop couldn't get any better! Her smile never faltered and it was hard to keep her giddiness at bay.

"Alright! Let's get this done and make it even better than before! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger as they say right?" she replied as she grabbed a tool belt, a tool bag and slung that over her shoulder, ready to go to her assigned spot and start her work.

[curiousredsoul]

Celena dipped her head, her expression cheerful with a hint of amusement, her own smile not even giving a hint of faltering. "Indeed! Let us see to making this the best we are able to," she replied with a dip of her head, motioning for Ronnae to head on through first. With an uttering of the command word for her ring she shifted to her elven form ready to follow Ronnae in.

[shiest_sunbeam]

"Alright!" She said excitedly as she hurried in. Once inside, she took a quick look around, gears in her head moving furiously as they always did when she was looking forward to doing some good work!

Once she had figured where would be a good place to start, she set her tools down and made quick work of starting up her part.

[curiousredsoul]

Celena dipped her head with cheerful amusement at the excitement her friend showed in the task at hand, it was certainly encouraging to see as she followed in after her.

Diverting off to her own spot to start work, though within sight and earshot for the most part. Though she had no physical tools she began work the versatility of her energies more than made up for her lack of tools.

Maria peered up at the dragon and then some of the more battered buildings. Taking a breath she yelled up.

"HEY!?"

[curiousredsoul]

It didn't take much to get the attention of the dragon in question, her head swinging around to locate the source of the yell. Tipping her wings she swooped around one of the more battered buildings to bring her fifteen foot long form to land lightly atop a far more sturdy building nearby.

"Greetings! Were you in need of assistance?" she greeted with a dip of her head and asked quite cheerfully.

[17thangel]

"Assistance? Not really, I see a lot of construction and was looking for the head of that. That and seeing dragons that aren't trying to eat me is kind of an interesting experience."

[curiousredsoul]

"Then it looks like I can very well assist you, I am Celena Vantari, head of the infrastructure subdivision of engineering, I am responsible for much of the repairs and construction going on throughout the city,"

[17thangel]

"My Seibzehn and I are pretty good at controlled demolitions if any of them are beyond repair."

[curiousredsoul]

"Indeed? That could be of great use, there are several areas that need to be cleared, as long as collateral damage to the buildings around can be kept to a minimum," Celena replied with a fair bit of interest.

With a graceful leap, Celena jumped down to street level, landing a few meters from the other.

[17thangel]

"A high focus gravity cannon can be used rather effectively for that, I mean as much fun as just punching them would be that'd be messy where precise and planned gravity bursts would leave you with a dense stone ball which could more easily be moved."

[curiousredsoul]

Celena canted her head in curiosity, "Quite so? That could be of considerable use, indeed, for clearing those buildings that are needed to be demolished. Especially those that contain little in the way of intact structure that could be used to construct new developments,"

"As to the result of the gravity bursts, relatively how small and dense is the resulting matter? For an equivalent size of course,"

[paidinbeer]

Orc wasn't particularly thrilled. He was sobering up slowly and would have much rather plunged headfirst into a cask of ale. But the rules of his being left alone for half the day to drink himself to death were that he had to actually make an effort during the other half the day. So here he was shambling through the city.

He didn't have the first idea about real construction. All he knew was how to wreck stuff. But the Robot attack everyone kept talking about had apparently done a good enough job of that.

He couldn't help thinking of home as he gazed up at a particularly ruined building. Then a dragon flew over head and his eyes went wide following it. Craning his head back he fell onto his significantly huge rump with a thud like a boulder falling into the street.

He never would get used to seeing things like that.

[curiousredsoul]

Even flying above the dragon in question had noted the presence of the unusual individual walking the streets below. One she had not had the chance previously to meet. Curiosity getting the better of her she tilted on wing tip and brought herself around with a graceful ease that spoke of years in the air.

Flying down low between the buildings she brought herself down into the street and landed gracefully not a few meters from the rocky looking individual, "Greetings, my apologies if I startled you," she greeted with a cheerful enough expression, hardly the ferocious angry dragon.

[paidinbeer]

And perhaps that cheerful attitude is what threw Orc off the most.

"Uh...hi." He muttered suddenly feeling foolish for having wandered out here with no basic plan. A complete lack of social skills would drag out the silence as he looked at her with confused bleary eyes.

[curiousredsoul]

Folding her wings in against her sides as she watched the other with some interest, particularly in the strange make up of his form.

"I don't believe we've had the chance of meeting previously, I am Celena Vantari, Head of the Infrastructure subdivision of Engineering," introducing herself with a dip of her head and an easy smile. "I assume you were a part of the most recent pod release?"

[paidinbeer]

Orc's mind struggled with the big words, somehow "Engineering" stuck out and he connected it with the job Howard was trying to set him up with.

"Yeah, the last one...I'm Orc." He added nodding in greeting. Maybe he'd gotten particularly lucky.

[curiousredsoul]

Celena smiled cheerfully enough as she watched him with curiosity, "A pleasure to meet you then Orc,"

"If there's anything I can assist with, or questions as to engineering or infrastructure in particular with, I'd be happy to help,"

[paidinbeer]

"Actually..." Was it really this easy? "I was supposed to um...help. Somehow. With like, fixing up the city." He sounded unsure as if he didn't know just how much help he would be. After all wasn't this Howard's idea? Andn where was Howard?
