[ today kaneki isn't here to babble about feelings and port-outs. He is here to focus on something else and much more important: SPACE. And OTO. But MOSTLY SPACE. ]

I know things have been rough last month, but it's time to address something that we can't ignore. OTO has a missile launch plataform on Phobos, Mars' moon, and we don't know what else they have there or if they are planning on sending further missiles. We know OTO has enough resources and global allies to go far and beyond, to go even where this world still hasn't and as such, we can't ignore their influence and we can't ignore how dangerous they are. Not anymore. [ Kaneki also can't ignore the nagging question if these guys are Vulcannus, but that's a paranoia for another time ]

For a year now I have been trying to get ahead of everything, but I know it's impossible to do it alone. I obviously can't go to space alone. But I know imPorts can make a huge difference when they want to and come together.

I think we should go to Mars. To see what OTO has up there, to stop whatever they are planning. This escalation from OTO is extremely worrisome. Everything they've done before never pointed to them wanting to cause such destruction and death. They didn't mind hurting a dozen people and us, but from that to nuclear incident is something else that we should worry about.

We have reached the Moon in less than 4 months and built a space station there. Reaching Mars isn't impossible. And right now, it's a necessity.

[ooc: Mars plotting, which I've made an OOC post about here. This is the IC invitation to get everyone to work together! Eventually (next month) I'll be posting a log for everyone involved to mingle and get to know each other. Also, to those who don't know about the Mirror Network, you can read about it here. ]

That's your plan? We go up into space, go to Mars, and see what's going on?

[ghoulking]

Should we just leave OTO up there, doing who even knows what? [ they know it involves nuclear missiles. And honestly that doesn't make it better ]

Voice

[namesaquestion]

Hmph. I want in on going to space.

[Just because.]

Voice

[ghoulking]

Even though you just arrived, you want to be part of it as well, Niko-kun? [ kaneki can't deny him that BUT he will worry for Niko a lot ]

It might be dangerous.

[secondplacescrow]

Does this mean we have to float our way to this Mars?

voice;

[ghoulking]

"Fly" would be the right term. But yes, that would be the plan. To dismantle what the OTO has there, and to stop them from using it any further.

[fervidclaret]

Kaneki!!!

I can survive the vacuum of space! Technology isn't my specialty, but I have vast medical knowledge, if that would be of any assistance! I would love to see space some more.

[ghoulking]

Hm, it'd be nice to have a doctor and healers with us.

If you wish to help, I'll gladly accept it. [ even though Itsuki will be surrounded by humans ]

[dragony]

What would the timetable be for reaching one of Mars's moons? In terms of travel time, I mean, not... construction and planning, and the like.

If the voyage takes too long, after all, we might risk everyone on board exPorting before they arrive. Assuming the distance alone doesn't do it, I mean.

[ghoulking]

With their engine, the OTO managed to send a missile there and launch it back to Earth in less than two months.

I think with imPort knowledge and powers, plus all the information we got during the tineloop week, we could make it work. And perhaps make it even faster.

Audio

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, I have experience with that kind of technology. I'd be glad to help out.

Audio

[ghoulking]

That would be great, Jonathan-san. I'm certain imPorts can build it if we all work together.

At present I am aware of imPorts with skillsets that may prove helpful, I will approach them in regards to getting to another planet in the solar system. However, another party approaching them may be necessary as they are all from the same galaxy that I am.

Poe Dameron as the pilot because the Porter has granted him specialized abilities, Darth Jadus as he would be vital in keeping the craft protected from vacuum and Hera Syndulla is a very capable mechanic.

[ Yeah Thrawn is all over this. Though he's letting Kaneki do (a much better job at) the legwork. ]

text; private

[ghoulking]

[ he doesn't know any of those people, so he isn't sure if he should come to them to ask for help. This post is public, so they can certainly come forward if they wish to.

well, except for Poe. Kaneki knows him, ]

There are many imPorts with many great abilities that could be very helpful. If the those you've mentioned wish to join this, I'd certainly be glad.

If you can approach them, I'd be quite thankful. I'm sure they realize that this is happening and needs to be dealt with, eventually. [ regardless of other galaxy matters, kaneki would hope. They are all in the same boat right now, after all ]

I'm down!

[he sounds genuinely delighted, here.]

That moon thing was really impressive! [genuinely.] Do you experience with space stuff?

vid

[ghoulking]

I was impressed. It shows just how much we can achieve if we put our heads together.

And no, not really. I never left Earth, I'm no scientist and I know little to nothing about space-travelling.

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

I'm ready when you are! [He can go into space? Yes, please.] What kind of help do you need?

[Video]

[ghoulking]

Right now, we need to build an engine that would allow fast space travelling. We have plans for one, but it's still not fast enough - OTO used a modified version of it.

So the idea would be to do the same.

[Video]

[jadus]

As Mitth'raw'nuruodo noted, I am willing to cooperate with this mission.

The nature of my work would require that I participate in the journey, with preparation before launch. What is your timeframe?

[Video]

[ghoulking]

[ Mitth... who? Kaneki tilts his head ] You mean Thrawn-san? [ he was the only one mentioning others that would join ]

Thank you for joining us on this, though. Currently there is no timeframe. We need to build an engine that would allow fast space travelling, and only then we could move from that.

Without it, it'd take us far too long to reach the planet, and we cannot afford it.

[marr]

I have several decades of experience in handling space battles and other objectives.

I do not have the direct technical expertise needed to create all the necessary systems, but I do know a great deal about the design and operation of such ships.

Voice

[ghoulking]

Currently we need to build an engine to allow us fast-travelling, but we certainly will need more help than just that. If we wish to reach a different planet, apart from the engine, we certainly will need a ship and training.

Audio

[lastofthebog]

I agree. I do not have the skills to assist directly, but I would be more than happy to lend what leverage I am able to make the task easier for you.

Audio

[ghoulking]

Any help is welcome. I too can't really build anything, neither I know enough science to be of any direct help.

But if everyone is willing to lend a hand and share ideas, I think things will go a lot faster and smoother.

[ It sounds like Luke was just out of reach of the communicator, letting the message play as he listened. As soon as Kaneki says, "I think we should got to Mars," there's the pounding of feet, followed by a thump as Luke very nearly tripped over himself to grab his communicator. ]

Count me in!

[ ...he's a little excited about this. ]

Audio

[ghoulking]

[ this isn't video, but if it was, kaneki would be smiling a little. Like father, like son. ]

That's good to know. We need all the help we can get.

[onlydoubts]

[ Did someone say Mars? ]

Now we're talking. I'd like to help.

[ghoulking]

We will take any help we can. Is there anything you are particularly good at, Bodhi-san?
