Not-Temba exploration week 1; OTA
WHO: Kaz and any folks in Not-Temba
WHERE: Lots of places in Not-Temba
WHAT: First week of exploring Not-Temba
WHEN: 7/18 - 7/24
WARNINGS: Blanket warning that Kaz is a dick
Agriculture Building
Since foraging for food was of the utmost importance as far as Kaz was concerned he was starting here. It was so dense with overgrown plants that parts looked like an indoor forest. At the bottom there wasn't much light at all and based on the flowering plants that were still here, it must have been used to cultivate night-blooming flowers. A little way up, and with the sunlight strength that very definitely meant 'day' for anything planted in here, It was so dense with not just plants but trees.
Because Kaz used a cane to walk, it was surprising that he would even be able to navigate the overgrowth to begin with. But he picked up the cane and though he had a lopsided gait, he was agile enough that he could use the cane's handle as a hook and use the assisted jump to go over some clumped branches or just side-step other obstacles. It was a maze to get through and more than once Kaz debated going back. But he persevered and eventually came to be standing in a sunbeam that had managed to find its way to the third floor ground level, despite the vines and tree limbs in its way.
The Hotel
This place was almost like being in the midst of a forest made from stone. The arched doorways, the decorated walls, even the surprisingly thin leaf textures over the windows. In places the decorative limbs that wound across the walls had been damaged by time, and those stone limbs were gone in places.
The 'thunk' of Kaz's cane punctuated his steps as he walked. First from the staicase to the first floor of tree-rooms. Then down the hallway and looking through each of the rooms at a time. Once that was finished he repeated the process for the second and third floors.
The Corridor
This place was so badly overgrown that Kaz nearly skipped it altogether, but his curiosity got the better of him. So once again he picked up his cane and though he limped noticably, he was slowly picking his way past the tangled roots of the trees that had sprouted up here. In the midst of it, he found where one of the giant trees had been felled. Sunlight was no longer trapped by the canopy and instead flooded along the length of it. Kaz had a nagging sense of unease since it didn't look like this tree had been felled by disease but if it was something else about other vegetation in the forest Kaz wanted to know about it. He was careful and slower than most people were but picked his way along, using the trees trunk as a pathway and avoiding the vegetation on the ground.
Power Station Facilities
This was a little closer to what was to be expected from the stone and metal facade, though that didn't seem to be the same stone as many of the other buildings. It was darker inside but this entire place had a utilitarian feel. Rooms that had been meant as offices took a bit of navigating but it was worth taking the extra time to explore them when, using the small mag lite flashlight revealed what were definitely crystals, but they did not look at all like the power crystals used in Temba already. Curious, and intrigued, Kaz tucked them under the same arm that was already using his cane so he still had one hand free. He looked into rooms that housed generators and took note of what the Engineering Datapoint told him was a water treatment facility, also noted the dust of time gathered on both, then came to a room that was showing the power grid. The Engineering Datapoint also told him any relays needed were likely subterranean, but that didn;t necessarily mean the crystals would be rendered useless.

no subject
"They look different to the ones being used in Temba, but they're energy crystals that are meant to power things. And since the Agrii left a lot of stuff behind they would be used as a power source for a lot of stuff around here. These are just the ones laying around in the offices back there."
/subtly angles for crystals for the Security Station
The location thingy said crystals plural, so Imma go with 4
"I went through the offices here, so if there are any more then I don't know where to find them. I haven't found something they could be used for yet so if you've already got a place then go ahead and then use them for that."
mods said still not quite enough but good to know, thanks!
oh boo to that
Kaz looks around the power station critically.
"...And it doesn't seem like it's made from the same things that regular Temba has been."
currently waiting to see if the station needs to be running, to boot
She reaches out and runs a hand along the wall. "That's a lot of digging. An awful lot. And very precise. Whatever did this was sophisticated. ... But do you think we can get this all running?"
