I did! Looking forward to see what job I get!

It's been a while since I've been around, so I decided to join up to ease the guilt. Oh the shame!

Brian: I don't know of any Schulmanian space marine sign up sheets...

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Please continue to sign up to join the SchulmaniQuest. I will periodically update the crew roster as we get new signees (I have not yet, but will soon). Once we have enough adventurers, we will set sail!

In the mean time, new stuff of other areas will spring forth soon.

[sobol 1]

/looks around..

Now where is that sign up sheet...

SPACE MARINES!!!!!!!!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

[Shingure 56]

Alright!

Engineering.

Gotta love it's result but hate the math

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Brad: Interesting...

Brian: Now, what could this marvel be?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Anyone else get the Modern Marvels theme song stuck in their head, or am I just that big a nerd?

[pipishere 3]

Lol...oh that is a lot of Llama's!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

But, before that, an update on...

How's the SchulmaniQuest doing? Several hires have already been made.

Want to see who has been hired?

Want to join the expedition?

Adventure begins here!

So, go visit now... Lauren Ahrns will provde you a substantial sum of gold as a welcoming gift.

[Hester 699]

On my way!!! :-) And congrats, Sir Leech and you, Schulmanator.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Hmmm... maybe I should put up an update... The pictures have been sitting on the hard drive for 2 weeks now...

And if you want to know how it feels to be 10,000 years old, ask Mardon and Cormani.

Brad: Congrats on 10000 posts!

Brian: Yes, indeed!

[Joetropian1 1]

Congrads on the big 10,000 Schulman! Look's like: You = 8th member of the 10,000 post club. Now let's see if you can catch up to Jacky! lol

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Congratulations on 10 000, Schulmanator!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Archean Thanks for coming back again. Thank you for sharing - I know how that is when they go... especially if it is a slow process. Very difficult.

Sobol Thanks. It was fun to do.

PhilsCafe Lemme know... I have the real estate agent on the other telephone line awaiting your word!

Csgcseri Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Dfnva Thanks, Dan! You definitely have to watch your step during the Trixie Parade!

Hester I have you on the crew manifest page now.

NMUSpidey Done! You are good to go when the Schulmania's Lewis & Clark takes off.

Leech10 I had to wave my magic wand to make him visible first.

Tomasneto Rock on! You are officially on board!

kj3400 You are officially on board as well!

NMUSpidey You are set!

Tomasneto We have 6 so far and more can sign up while the expedition gets ready to sail.

Simbourgeois Welcome to Schulmania! You are welcome to dispatch someone in your stead if you still want to participate in the adventure. Enjoy Schulmania and do come back again.

Hester AHOY, matey!

NMUSpidey Only 18 pages until the next round of awards!

Leech10 Do they have those? I need a box of them here.

Sobol lol! Love that picture! Someday, Schulmania will have catstronauts!

Hester The suit could also be good for diving...

Leech10 Not yet, anyway!

Sobol Perhaps some cat space marines could show up in Outpost Beta 6.... Hmmm.... [gets an idea]...

Shingure Very true.... VERY true!

Leech10 It will reveal itself soon!

NMUSpidey Ummm... the latter. But, that's ok. I am still hearing the Looney Tunes song in my head...

Pipishere lloll! Llook! Llots of llamas!

Hester Thanks!

Leech10 10000 years old? I should ask that Twinkie for sale down at the kwik-e mart. Expiration date: Paleolithic and still going strong!

Joetropian1 JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE! Long time no see! Glad to see you back for the milestone!

ac94 Thanks. Glad to see you back. Is there a page which lists how many posts people have? I still have a ways to go to get Jacky!

edmonton_stinks Thanks! Glad to see you back again.

ALL: The new SchulMarvel update will be up next. In the mean time, if you still want to sign up for the SchulmaniQuest, please feel free to do so. It does not depart just yet.

And, don't forget Admiral Hestorb's Facebook page. She's getting lonely!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Ooo, the SchulMarvel update!  Cue the music (just for me, I suppose)!    Congrats on hitting such a momentous milestone with the big 10k.  I'm sure the next 10,000 will be just as enlightening as the last set was.

Next, on Modern SchulMarvels.

[suplado! 23]

wow -- 10000+ post, a very grand event will be coming i guess....congrats!!

Atkinos: Across Cawale Strait

Atkinos and Gran Maru stare across the Cawale Strait at one another. This has been the only way to cross between them - until now.

Governor Cawale has been looking for ways to speed up transit across the busy strait. Her solution - contact the Transit Office to develop a new mode of transit to speed things up. The Transit Office contracted with CAL Engineering, led by the capable and esteemed Lee Callagrafx. CAL Engineering revived an idea first promoted for the original Schulmericho city plan but was never built. The novel concept? The bridge. Until now, all interisland transport has been done by ferries or other boats. Now, extensive plans have been made to actually build one. A team of engineers has been hard at work designing a stone span which will cross the Cawale Strait, giving the first direct connection between Atkinos and Gran Maru.

A site has been selected connecting the Via Balenarossa in Gran Maru with the Atkinos coast. Site preparation involves some reconfiguration of the Via Balenarossa terminus to allow for a bridgehead and for some terrain leveling on the Atkinos side. Some dredging in the strait will be needed to built up a small islet in the middle to help support the weight of the massive span envisioned. CAL Engineering has estimated it will take a team of 2,500 designers and builders to create the structure they have envisioned. Hundreds of stonemasons will be subcontracted to extract quality rock from quarries in Devonshire to build this ambitious project.

Local Stonecutters are quite excited about the added business.

Construction Foreman Bill Ding is uncertain if such an audacious project can be completed.

Local gossip Lotta Tallkin fears for the future if this project is completed. She's quite a busybody... maybe she needs a hobby.

CAL Engineering was able to design a fabulous stone structure and contracted with VAN Enterprises to build it. VAN Enterprises has been busy securing a large number of contracts as of late. Governor Cawale received a large bouquet of flowers and a box of Busscastle Chocolates at her office just before the contract was let. I am sure there is no connection between the contract and the gift.

Work began right away on both ends of the bridge project. Excellent logistical support and expert engineering led to a speedy completion of the project, which is due for its grand opening today.

The Atkinos side of the bridge features a cut stone walkway flanked by Schulminion flags. The walkway leads out onto the water, creating Schulmania's first bridge.

The redesigned neighborhood on the Atkinos side has been leveled and features new construction. The pink domed building is the Transit Office's Bridge Authority Building.

The graceful stone arches of the Cawale Strait Bridge march across the water from Atkinos.

This marvel of Schulminion engineering will link the two islands physically and culturally. The commercial impact of the bridge will be significant as well. Welcome to the Cawale Strait Bridge!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Brian: Bridge!

Brad: So that's what the marvel is.

Brian: Now, how long before more bridges show up?

Brad: Can't wait for more!

[Benedict 3,119]

Those two islands and the bridge are just beautiful. Great stuff.

[Zelgadis 638]

Oo! A bridge I've never seen before!

I...

MUST...

HAVE IT!!!

I'm now sending over Vice Lord Lynx in Carpathia II to beam it onto his starship.  That'll freak everyone out.
