[ open ] titanic showdown: striker eureka and gypsy danger vs n guruvilu
Characters: ALL.
Location: LOCCENT & later http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Horn>Cape Horn.
Date/Time: March 7th & 8th.
Summary: The Shatterdome watches and responds to the double-kaiju attack at Cape Horn.
Additional Notes: Please refer back to the OOC post for specific questions!
Andrea called all Cadets into the back of LOCCENT to watch the proceedings of the fight with Nguruvilu. She left their management to Zhang and Contreras, leaving the Cadets standing at ease and on order to keep their voices down and observe.
They'd need to know how to work in this place and with these people, even if they never set foot in a Jaeger.
After the battle was finished, all available personnel was funneled off to assist in the clean-up efforts, alongside organized and local groups of Chileans who managed to get down to the Cape. Both Kaiju have been dragged on land to forestall heavy contamination of marine environments, but some spill over was inevitable. Containment and cleaning efforts would be both on land and by sea, running on quick timelines for those in K-Science who wanted to preserve samples of the Kaiju in time enough to be useful for study later on.
Welcome to the down and dirty side of fighting alien monsters, Cadets. Welcome to the gross and gritty side of your work, Shatterdome Staff.
We thank you for your dedication to humanity.
In order to inspire our new Cadets, here is some clarification and a few prompts for clean up:
1. Kaiju blue is a corrosive and toxic material. It is considered a health and environmental hazard. All PPDC staff and the local government crews that participate in the cleanup will be given protective haz-mat suits and specially designed equipment. No Cadets will be put unnecessarily at risk during the initial 3 months of training. Part of the classroom instruction as per Academy scheduling involves procedures to handle hazards such as this, so the Cadets are theoretically prepared! (They may be psychologically unprepared, etc. but in order to come into contact with kaiju blue it would have to be a player decision, and it would require the character to ignore or misunderstand safety rules that have been stated to them by the many supervising professionals around.)
2. The scene is grim. While the Jaeger teams successfully stopped the kaiju along the coastal shelf and kept the city from suffering damages, there will be many casualties of marine and avian life in the area due to the kaiju blue. These too will be part of the cleanup. If any human remains are found, cadets have been instructed not to touch them but instead to notify the nearest person in authority.
3. In general, the kaiju blue can be treated like an oil spill, but more toxic and corrosive.
Now, the fun stuff! Here are some prompts to get you started, however you are free and welcome to invent your own. Note that while Cadets and Staff members have been assigned to teams for the event, what teams you place them on is entirely up to you, the players. You are free to assign them to more than one duty as different needs arise.
K-science: Your character may be helping to collect samples and specimens. This job comes with extra precautions. Be sure to watch those knives!
Medical: Feel free to pitch in anywhere, but make sure your first responder badge is clearly on display. Medical cases may be referred to you at any time, including if locals are unaware or have foolishly decided to approach. Kaiju blue is toxic not only through physical contact but even through simply being inhaled. Victims will cough up a characteristic blue vapor, and display other common toxicity symptoms for common poisons. All victims should be carefully isolated from the general population and anyone not wearing the proper haz-mat gear.
Land: You may find yourself scrubbing flagstones or tide breakers. You may be helping secure pieces of kaiju carcass for transport -they're huge!- or you may be working crowd control to be sure that locals don't approach. And if locals do approach, you'll be sending them straight to medical. You may encounter dead wildlife.
Sea: Try not to get seasick, it's murder cleaning those haz-mat suits out, and you're under strict instructions not to remove the helmets! Those assigned to ship crews will be helping skim dead marine life from the water right along with the kaiju blue slicks. The boats must be constantly hosed down to avoid corrosion damage. You're in for a choppy, unpleasant ride and a lot of heavy lifting. Marine life can be pretty large.

Ahhhh, one day! One day he'll maintain them! That'd be amazing!
Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, he doesn't notice that particular gleam in Hanji's eyes. But, since she's here... He hopes they haven't covered anything like this in past lessons because that would definitely give him away. "Um, even if the kaiju blue is toxic and all, do you think there could be some kind of practical use for it?"
no subject
"Practical use...? Well, I suppose. But we're here to study it, not weaponize it! We're getting messy! Making mistakes!"
no subject
"I was thinking more of like, something the public could use! Like how a lot of deadly poisons are medicines and stuff like that." Anti-venom from snakes for snake bites, that kind of logic. Hilbert looks around and sighs. "But I guess more people'd probably use it against their enemies, huh... That'd be awful. We didn't have anything like this around New York."
