ADMIRAL REQUESTS
New Admiral Request Page Found Here

Post your requests to the Admiral below (and also a note if you would specifically like that request to be rejected), and we will get to them in a timely manner. All Admiral requests (with the exception of Inmate resurrections) must go through this post, and their approval cannot be handwaved. Additionally, requests will only be granted to Wardens.

Unless otherwise specifically noted, all threads on this post are considered to be Private.

Though the Barge does not speak in any traditional way and is not reachable by communicator, it is sentient, and characters occasionally reach out to it via tapping on walls in Morse Code, spelling out messages in alphabet-letter fridge magnets, and other creative methods; if your character decides to try this, those messages may be dropped here as well!

It shouldn't be a problem. When you're ready to depart, just let me know what you'd like to enact. If you have questions about what's broadly possible, you can ask now, but none of what you've previously expressed interest in has been out of the scope of what's possible.

It will be an extreme load off my mind to know that what I have so far is viable, so, please.

One: I requested my people be relocated to a new planet, but actually what I think I'd like... is for us to be moved to an identical planet to the one we have now, but completely uninhabited. Rather than just moving people, as well, I'd like if our infrastructure could be transferred over - perhaps a direct swap with the undeveloped land on the 'other side', so to speak? I want our buildings, our growing fields, our train tracks, our harbors, our libraries, all to come with us.

Two: I want all my people, including mainland Eldians and the refugees we host on Paradis Island, to be taken at the same time, but I want to gradate their arrival in the new world through time. The King and her support staff should arrive first, Nile and his military police, Pixis and the stationary guard, and of course the scouts. Farmers and their families should also arrive as part of the first wave. My idea here is that we bring our essential laborers in first. I need to think about the order of arrival more, but I want those who work in careers fundamental to the lives of others arrive earlier on. So we get farmers, doctors, fishermen and hunters, carpenters, before we get our theater people, for instance.

Three: At the end of a six-year period on the new planet, I would like every person transferred over to independently be posed the choice - will they remain in the new world, or return to the one they left? Perhaps by instituting some kind of metaphysical safety tether that degrades over the course of those years, and allows them ultimately to decide whether they'll take their chances with us, or go back to the hell they know. I'd like this choice to be inviolate. A lover, parent, comrade, sibling, or friend might try to convince someone of one choice or the other, but they won't be able to force anyone else's hand.

Four: I'd like to date the moment of transference to the new world back to before I arrived on the barge. [She spits out a date, Eldian-style - Hange is not on earth time.] My subordinate, Eren, planned a terrorist attack on the mainland. Many died in his attack. Adjusting the time we leave our original planet will save those lives and do a lot to ease integration of the Paradisan and Marley people.

Hmmm.

You've clearly thought a lot about this, oomnyashka.

It's all doable, but not with one deal. You do very good work. I can roll one, two, and three together, as legwork on a new home for your people.

But four is an undoing of the past - functionally several resurrections as well. That's a separate task from making and arranging something new. That would take a second deal.

[14thcommander]

[A pause in reply. It would've been too good to be true for the answer to be a simple yes to all that, she had that instinct and apparently was right.

This is not where she expected the sticking point to be. At least one through three will be intact.]

Then may I ask, at what point in time will the transition take over?

[bargemods]

Either at the moment of your departure for the barge, or any later time of you choosing.

[14thcommander]

Then - I was returned home during my last coma. Would the moment of transition have to be then? The moment I - returned from that time at home?

[bargemods]

Ordinarily, it would be your last moment of contact, yes, but - mmm.

[There's some very faint noise in the background. A whir? A clank? A...goat baaing? Hard to tell.]

I have, shall we say, my hand in the door, at the moment of your initial embarkation. I'll be sure to hold it for you, then?

[14thcommander]

[The boiling head of panic that was building up in her pauses, halts at its high-water mark, and recedes a little.]

In case I vanish off the boat tomorrow - that is the preferable point for the deal to kick in.

[bargemods]

Understood, and agreed.
