Ishukone Okusaika and Material Acquisitions have announced plans to begin the recovery and salvage of the Shiigeru. Generally, the plans sound reasonable and appropriate, and likewise that some of these materials will see use in the repair of NOH's facility.

Laudable.

A constructive endeavor.

It's not really a "facility" per se, it's a giant fungus; and, it doesn't really need to be repaired - it's doing quite well.

Oh, I see. Right.

About time someone cleans up the Gallente's mess.

You've given me a near-terminal case of the giggles. I hope you're satisfied!

Ambitious. I like it. Ishukone is certainly pushing forward into the new year in a grand fashion.

I have water production facilities on the site and full store of fresh water. I invite the salvage crews to full access if needed.

Yet more excellent news. To anyone and everyone taking part and facilitating this project at Ishukone and elsewhere, thank you.

I wonder if they'll even finish the tower before we see gift shops springing up and selling "genuine" parts of the Shiigeru in snowglobes.

Quite nice of them.

Too bad they haven't given a timeframe of the beginning and the length of the operations, however. Guess we'll just have to wait.

I feel like the Titan should remain as a memorial site. Of course, that's up for ishukone to decide.

And such a lovely memorial it would be, too. Cubic kilometers of burning tritanium, runaway pollution of the atmosphere ground water and soil, heavy metal contamination and radioactive dust strewn across the southern Kaalakiotas, the extinction of a number of local species, climate disruption across the entire planet from the volcanic and tectonic activity begun by the impact, wild fires that wiped out hundreds of square kilometers of Kresh forest, unexploded munitions scattered across half the continent each with a yield powerful enough to leave a large hole where there used to be a city, and a dust and smoke plume that's threatening to start a nuclear winter in the northern hemisphere.

Why yes, that sounds like a delightful tourist destination. Fun and neoplasms for the whole family!

Im pretty sure decontamination efforts have been underway for a while. Another year or two of cleaning and reinforcing the structure would make it stable and safe to view.

The calamities you describe occurred shortly after impact. I highly doubt that those hazards exist nearly a year after the battle and subsequent decontamination and containment efforts.

If they do, then Ishukone and/or Mordu's Legion need to get their act together.

No, see, that's the thing about radioactive fallout, tritanium fires and environmental damage - they're the gifts that keep on giving.

I'm sure some parts of the wreck will remain as memorialsites, but that won't be the huge, kilometre-long wreckageparts, those are just too massive to remain. Besides, those contain just too much dangerous stuff still that you don't want risked leaking into the enviroment. Also, I suspect those large pieces are hardly stable and would cost just too much to make them stable as Titans are supposed to fly in space, not lie rusting under the gravitational pressure of a planet.

Also, in a way, the rebuilt Qaiian Tower(regional HQ of NOH) will act as a double memorial as it will be rebuilt with salvaged materials from the Shiigeru. A fitting memorial in my view, from the wreckage of a defeat, we build a new future.

It's also good to see a joint Caldari/Gallente operation cleaning this site up, it'll be a boost in relations, providing new future marketopportunities.

Well I'm neither an environmental expert nor an environmentalist. So I'll just take your word for it.

Particularly if you are an adorable little radiodurans bacteriamesium excreted by a giant metal eating mushroom hydralisk! And then the radiodurans bacteriamesium becomes the gift that keeps on giving when reabsorbed by the giant metal eating mushroom hydralisk, which grows and grows and grows.

Tekojarvi is lovely this time of year.

The warm trunks of the technicolor mushroom monsters keep patches of the lake liquid and even steamy, while the brisk polar breezes compress against the stratospheric fruitcaps and lightly ionize in a dull red glow. I call it St. Gomono's Fire.

It's a pity the CEP never got back to me. The wreck itself would have produced quite a spectacular forest indeed. But I do appreciate Mr. Hakaalen's kind note.

Oh don't worry there is... I would imagine, a healthy trade in "mementos".

The only purification of a gallente infestation on Caldari Prime is purification by fire.
