I wonder if theyll ever get Mickail back in any way other that a Target Neutralised notification?
At least teh current crop of Windigoes have been dealt with, but how much reconciliation and returnees will the French crew need to impliment just how quickly in order just to keep them at bay, if unintrested in the area again, especially in winter?
the Brazilian Institute makes me wonder just where they picked all the gear up to start making the various designs. Domes are triangular, even if its invisible or hard to see, for a simple reason that non triangular shapes, unless they are self arching induvidually, fold and flex all over the place. The best example Ive seen of this was the Paris Airport roof, which was designed on a 3D architectural program for stability. Except the best explanation I can find for why it collapsed, is although all the spanning beams were induvidually arch stable, they started covering the roof before finishing the lengwise arch span interlocking beams. So the arch spans, had a sideways force they wernt braced for. The largest geodesic dome I know of, is the Spruce Goose hanger, the largest supported material sheet structure is the Millenium Dome? Fuel cells are tricky to make, would probably be better aiming for flow lead acid batteries, depending on requirements?
Be intresting to see how the demon pirates handle heavy stuff, given even a non demonic entity can spell shield strong enough to stop the planes heavy missiles? Torpedos dont work too well, usually against self healing ships etc?
Took me a bit to work out all the visible Quarry Eels were dealt with, but given the behaviour of them, first thing Id want to do is with great care, check those tunnels for nests and eggs, hatchlings otherwise youd be looking at mysterious missing workers, attacks?
Wonder if it would be worth stripping the overburden on the face back a certain distance, to get access to more easily accessible amounts of materials of grades, as tunnel mining only gives you a fraction the access, unless you happen to want to be going in that direction, for storage etc aftre as well?
This is where we really get to compare Pre-WW1, WW-1, interwar, and WW2 designs to Cold War and later designs. Fun! Current matchup? One Imperial German cruiser laid in 1910 vs two motorboats with cruise missiles and one corvette w/ 57mm gun.

That would be heavily dependent on the extent of demonic infection on the ship, no? Strictly speaking, the original ship used by the pirates, SMS Karlsruhe, was just a light cruiser built in the early 20th century. Ships from that era didn't have a fraction of the damage control and watertight bulkheads you'd later see appear during the interwar period.
A normal light cruiser could be damaged by a lot of stuff since they're not exactly known for their armor.
That one? On the one hand the hull spent a century in two halves underwater. On the other hand it's been improved with magic, demonic infection to put it back together, and may or may not have mages skilled enough to mitigate if not nullify incoming fire.
To be determined.

I think it's more of an 'or' than 'and' in this case. Lest we forget, Rhine's torpedo escorts are all the way north in Mexico whereas the Solimoes is... well it's a 1950's corvette Imperador Pedro III has been using as a fixed gun battery and extra generator for his fort. Not quite as impressive as it once was, which wasn't even much to begin with.
Although... Before I go and write something wrong, you said a 57mm gun? I researched the Solimoes' class and found they were commisioned with an armament of one 3 inch gun and four 20mm Oerlikons. Did she undergo a retrofit I might have missed in my research? I only ever ran a quick check on the class.

I don’t know everything, I’m just using the knowledge I have and that is that most corvette size ships use 57mm guns currently but I don’t know much about the specific ship.
So I’m just going assume you are right.

I find it intresting that 3 inch is approx 75mm, and 75 and 57 are numerical mirror equivalents?

Depends. The main problem I figured there would be with that avenue is that DNA would decay to some extent in most cases, and a single specimen might not be enough to build up data on the topic and isolate which strand gives protection against magic.
So that's sending out missions (or commisioning them from factions like the sailors) to retrieve DNA fragments.
Mapping out the entire genome of humans across the ages for comparison and cross-referencing.
Maybe even study the genome of post-Event species once that's done to see if they have anything similar in their DNA to double check.
And only then could they put the data into action and see what they can do to modify modern humans. And I'm probably skipping steps along the way.
That's the kind of work that would make Sisyphus down in Hell say he got off easy.
