I've been making progress! With the crew big enough now to have teams divided doing different things, I can focus more on the tools I make and maintain for the crew whenever the Submarine is in good working condition. Lately I've been focusing on improving the Skycaller devices. As our main connection between the crew, we need to improve their connection strength, especially since they double as trackers for the Submarine, and soon the Airship, to find crew in case we get unceremoniously separated again. Problem is I was making no progress, and just couldn't figure out what can be done. It was troubling me to the point I was losing sleep over it. Officer Carica would give me an earful if she knew I was losing sleep over something again...
Thankfully, I had help!
One of the crew members I've not really spoken to before, Korall is one versed in cultural linguistics and thaumaturgy. The latter is definitely not one I know about, but I am thankful Korall does. His knowledge in it was able to see the next step to the devices that I simply could not figure out! Portals, pockets between reality to connect the devices magically in a way tech alone simply cannot! His idea has brought a new wave of motivation I was missing to really get this working!
Liminal is my home now, but maybe one day we can talk again, Sister... and it may be sooner than I thought!
