What the Sea Swallows, it can spit back up again - Tonberry Prince - 09-19-2015
Quote:Time: Â Â 4pm Central
Event: Â Â Free-form Introductory RP Event
Where: Â The Astalicia, Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks.
Synopsis:  After a successful privateering mission, the Stoic Merlwyb returns to Limsa Lominsa with loot and a rescued prisoner.  However, this prisoner doesn't seem to be in good health, and is causing a significant aetheric disturbance.  Can you save him before he succumbs to severe aether sickness?
"Mael..........and. Â .........read me?"
The Maelstrom duty officer winced as the static filled transmission blared through the linkpearl on his ear.
"......strom command! Â .......an ......ical ......ergency........res........please?! Â This is.........Sto.....wyb "
The duty officer tried to respond. Â "This is Maelstrom Command. Â We can barely read you. Â Please state your emergency."
The only response the duty officer received was more static. Â He turned and looked towards the arcanist who shared the Duty Bridge with her. Â "Is there anything we can do to clear this static up."
The arcanist was already flipping through the book. Â "Aye, lass. Â With the right attunement, I can use the aetheryte network to boost the linkshell's aetheric gain and transmission." Â With a gesture, he started channeling aether towards the linkpearl. Â "Try it now, I wont' be able to hold it for very long before I'll burn out."
The duty officer nodded, and quickly got to work. Â "This is Maelstrom Command. Â Please repeat your last message."
A somewhat incredulous voice came through, no longer static filled. Â "This is the captain of the Stoic Merlwyb. Â We have a medical emergency. Â We will be arriving in port in about four bells after high noon. Â We rescued a prisoner from a imperial galleon we raided, but he's in poor condition. Â He also seems to be causing some sort of aetheric disturbance; our linkpearls are nearly useless, and he's going through the worst case of aether sickness I've seen. Â He needs a doctor, and probably an arcanist when we arrive in port."
"We copy that, Stoic Merlwyb. Â We'll have someone standing by when you dock. Â Maelstrom Command out." The duty officer replied, finishing jotting down the notes. Â
The arcanist let out a sigh of relief, and let the aetheric tether drop. Â He wiped off the beads of sweat from his forehead.
"Can you be there?" the duty officer asked the arcanist.
"Nay, lass, I'm out on patrol. Â I'll pass the world along though, we'll get someone out there." Â The arcanist replied.
