DRAGON HATCHERY: Walkabout Info

[powersthatbe]

Dragon Hatchery
our very first player-created walkabout
August 7th - September 16th

Welcome to the desert planet of Jangwa. Jangwa is the native planet of several species of lizard-birds that the human colonists have named “dragons” and after centuries of exploitation, there’s a planet-wide effort to reintroduce dragons to the wild and save the crumbling ecosystems that depend on them.

The Sah’afar District Dragon Rehabilitation Center is one of the keystones of that effort. The center takes care of eggs and young hatchlings, helping to teach them skills to survive in the wild, as well as giving them medical attention. Some dragons have been rescued from the hands of poachers who use them for illegal dragon cock-fighting, or irreparably harm young hatchlings to be shipped off planet for an equally illegal exotic pet trade. Other dragons have telempathic bonds with humans, and will never be fully wild, but their hatchlings, if raised carefully, can be introduced to the desert with less dependence on the humans that have settled the planet.

Due to an expected hatching boom, the Sah’afar Center has put out a call for volunteers to help juggle all the extra work of caring for so many hatchlings, but also to increase security, as poachers are always desperate to steal newly hatched dragons. A youth program has agreed to send a group of children and teens, and there have also been a large number of adult volunteers. As the sun rises for another day of desert heat, all of these volunteers have been dropped off at a way station to wait for hovertrucks from the center to pick them up and take them the final distance.
