Captains' Collaboration!

[powersthatbe]

If you're not captaining a vessel or leading a school of mermaids, please don't read this.



All right! I was working on the next plot post, with the ships starting to thread through the reefs, when it occurred to me that it would be extremely useful to have a place the faction leaders could discuss their decisions and progress with one another and the mods. This post will be that place, and I'll try to keep it organized, linking to various threaded discussions as they occur.

First of all: it's my impression that, so far, none of the captains are in close communication with one another, working together closely, and none of them has given more than a token acceptance at most to the mermaid offer. If you could, briefly, confirm or deny if that's correct before getting into more detailed discussion, it would help me greatly!

Adachi wouldn't be too keen about the monster, but he's not about to turn back toward the navy either. He'd probably take what mermaids he could and find a way around the beast.

And hell no about the castaway; between the investigators and the mermaids, the Harbinger is probably already over burdened.

So. The Grasper will be ambushing the Harbinger. Any specific tactics Adachi would want to employ? He'll only have a brief window before it's caught up and wrapped around the ship.

If they have the time, get all canons loaded with whatever the hell they can stuff in them -- silverware if necessary -- and fire like crazy to get it to back off or at least stall it enough to get the mermaids, women, and children evacuated. Once the critter gets a hold of them and they can't get it off, then he'll start having the rest of the crew abandon ship.
