The Teleportation Network (AKA Public Transit)

[Karma]

Calian sits in his office at the Ordo Magica Headquarters and reads over the letter from the Vanguard. "Well, here we are, a joint venture with both of us, this should push towards completion much faster now..."

17 Ioaver 642 MR [[March 17, 2015]]

• Vanguards will begin construction activities in the following districts given that the Ordo Magica attains "merchant" and "space" legal rights in the following:
  
  1. Forest of Daris - A small cabin with room for six directly outside the teleportation obelisk using these specifications.
  2. Two Bridges Town - Small office stand directly outside the teleportation obelisk using these specifications.
  3. Morell City- Small office stand directly outside the teleportation obelisk.
  4. Cear - Small office stand directly outside the teleportation obelisk.
  5. Ravenswatch City - Small office stand directly outside the teleportation obelisk.
  6. Lendose City - Small office stand directly outside the teleportation obelisk.
  7. Tristin Town - Small office stand directly outside the teleportation obelisk.
  8. Thrall's Gate Fort - Small office stand directly outside the teleportation obelisk.
  9. Landon City - Small office stand directly outside the teleportation obelisk.

If only some of these areas are given legal rights, we will construct in those areas. Materials will be bought locally by the regional Vanguard chapters. If they cannot be bought locally they will be bought and transported to the location. If the local chapter does not have construction prowress, local carpenters will be hired.

In addition to providing materials and construction, Vanguards will provide the following security from their local chapters:

• 1. Forest of Daris - 4 Vanguards, 6 hour shifts
  2. Morell City - 4 Vanguards, 6 hour shifts
  3. Tristin, Lendose, Landon, Two Bridges - 3 Vanguards, 8 hour shifts

Security may be added if local authorities are unable to provide adequate protection.
First and foremost, our job is the security of transporting personnel.

In rendering these security and construction services, the Vanguard will expect the Ordo Magica to provide for the costs of hire and upkeep of their teleporting staff, a stipened of 30% of the service charge per transport, the ability to waive charges during official Vanguard business and prioritized use of the teleporters to allied emergency personnel during a time of crisis. Additionally, we humbly suggest a charge of 200 to 400 crowns per spell, depending on location and local taxes, unofficially.

We can begin construction the moment you can provide us with the legal documentation allowing us to get underway. Additionally, we hope that you consider this a fair and just deal in which both our factions and the people of Dasaria will benefit.

-- Transcribed by Vng. Secretary Aventus Thorne in a letter to the Current Headmaster of the Ordo Magica

Calian sends a messenger to the Imperial Ministry in Cear. "Best we start here. We shall send request for license to operate this in Cear, then move step by step outwards to each location. We will determine a cost once the primary network is complete. " The messenger nods and takes the request to the Imperial Ministry awaiting response.

Meanwhile, The Archmage sends for House Serious and the Vanguard Captain who will respond, requesting they come to Cear to see him.

*As soon as the letter is brought to Yvalee's attention, she makes herself ready for traveling. She packs a bag with only the bare necessities; pencils, parchment, scrolls and other writing equipment. Two dresses, in case she needs to dress for something fancy or something more casual, and some other little things in case she needs to stay the night in Cear. Then she says her goodbyes to Ishmarle and under his watchful, pensive and doubtful gaze she leaves to seek out the Archmage of the organisation that once cast her out. Despite her husbands doubts Yvalee seems to leave on a positive note; full of energy. She sets out in a good mood. When she arrives at the door of the address Calian left in his letter, she knocks curiously.*

[Sahji]

"Whuddeya mean I gotta go??"
...
"Do I LOOK like I know what ta--"
...
"You know I hate all that posin' an blusterin'--!"
...
"Orright orright...but ya better promise me you'll show up if ya kin...."

A blondish blur was seen headed in the direction of the address provided....

[Kell]

*Yvalee knocks again.. by now wondering if she ended up at the right address. She takes a step back and looks up at the building thoughtfully*

[Karma]

Calian comes to the door and answers. "Hello Yvalee, welcome to the Ordo Magica. Take care to watch your step, renovations are not yet complete." He leads her inside past a rather large lobby and into the meeting chamber. There are many chalkboards with building plans and configurations for rooms drawn, and for the moment, a central table set up with a map of Dasaria and the known teleportation network roughly drawn.

This day, Calian OStes is not wearing his armor or robes, but simple work clothes, somewhat tarnished from hours of labour. His hair is tied back with a bandanna and he has some interesting gnomish tools in a pouch on his waist. Despite this he seems in a cheerful and determined mood.

"As you can see, I have been busy. The only thing we are waiting on is the ministry to approve the licensure so that we may operate in Cear. I have some building resources available out in the lobby. I was thinking we could work with our Vanguard associates to build the waystations here, and then you and I could teleport them to the correct locations as soon as they are ready."

OOC: I have the Ordo Magica HQ about half finished. If wired approves, I will submit it, albeit with the unfinished bit closed off for now and our temporary work area set up here. If I am provided with the areas we have mentioned I will place the waystations and an Ordo and Vanguard npc at each station. If someone here could contribute conversations for the npcs, all I would ask of wired is to connect the conversations to the actual teleporting, provide me with said areas, I will get to work on this Asap. I am excited about it and I have Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday nights and the weekend free to work on this. If all of that can come together, i think we could have the first waystation by as early as next week, depending on the others. Sahji, if you would please, I feel you would be well suited to make the Vanguard Npc and conversation

*Yvalee quietly considers Calian as he speaks to her. She seems to like what he says and somewhere in between storing away her cloak and undoing her gloves to side with him to look over the plans and configurations, she seems to decide to let go of her pretences. Looking at the man as he is now, without official uniform, expensive robes or tall words but simply with the hands he works with, his ambitions and his knowledge; it makes her smile. People working hard for what they wanted, and taking it, always could count on her honest appreciation and support. No tall words were needed. Just the effort and dedication.*

"That sounds like a plan. Just tell me what it is that you need me to do."

*She leans over a set of architectural drawings casually.*

"Calian, when this project is behind us I'd really like to see if we can come to an agreement about prolonging our collaboration. I've thought long and hard about your endeavors and I see great benefit in your plans for the reformation of the Ordo Magica. I would like to help."

[Karma]

The Archmage smiles and looks around the room.

"We need to get more people involved. More awareness. We need the Vanguard to be here and present helping with its end of scouting and construction as promised. Currently We have two tasks. We need to get the approval from the Imperial Ministry to construct and operate the first Waystation here in Cear. And we need to find Mages willing to train and support the staff to operate these stations. You and I are simply not enough to train them. The Ordo needs Teachers and students."

He motions to the drawings.

"And for the Vanguard, we need to gather more construction resources for these stations. I've brought in what I can so far, as you've seen in the entrance hall, but more is needed."

"I've sent out letters, trying to establish contact with former members of the Ordo. Three times in the last few months, with no response. I need contact with Magisters Phelan, Reina and Thanos, if they are to remain on this council. Now is the time to gather all of our support and act to the benefit of all."
