*looks at an empty plate that was at some point totally hidden underneath the cake* *sigh*
we need to recruit more people to make more cakes because we clearly have more and more people joining our Safety Zone!
:sparkle: Congradulations, Songbird! :sparkle: Nice to see more artists joining us!

*Places pastries on the table*
Well, I may not have cakes with me but I have plenty of pies and cinnamon rolls. There's enough for everyone. I get the first slice of pecan pie though.

Congratulations Songbird!

Eh? Oh, right... um... that's why I brought all the sweets. For the celebration. Definently not because I like stuffing my face with pastries...
That would be silly.

Thanks for the cake!
*Pushes it toward Annuil*
Quick! Take a slice before it's gone.

While we are on the subject of baked goods, may I suggest that the baker-in-chief (that is, Mirasol), prepare for many festive occasions! We seem to be getting new citizens (SkyWhalePod and Groupoid, as well as people in the role playing games) and scouts (Moredhel) soon, and the Rangers’ office is already in sights for RanVor and Phyrestorm999! And Grey should be busy choosing his airport by now!

Wah, saw these two promotions and got distracted before I could say congrats! So, congrats to Songbird and Opaque! As usual, I'm too late for cake or other baked goodies.

(While I realize that, in the still-ongoing pandemic, a lot of airports seem to qualify as somewhat "derelict", may I suggest Cabo Ruivo? Chances are that you won't even have to move, come the switch to Sunken Ship! ;) )

That's actually an intriguing and interesting suggestion, JoB! Thanks!
I'll put the rest under spoilers because it's a long answer and I don't want to disturb the thread... :)
Spoiler: show

On one side my first option always has been Oporto airport (OPO) that I know so well and where I'll surely be many more times in the future. It would add a special flavour to each visit.

(it's also called Francisco Sá Carneiro after a portuguese prime minister that died...
when his plane fell after a bomb exploded in flight... Don't ask me how someone decided to give his name to an airport)

On the other hand I've been many times on Cabo Ruivo, also known as "Doca dos Olivais" (Olivais dock). I participated on a public competition, back in 1994, still as an intern of architecture, when it was decided to renew the place for the then upcoming EXPO 98. We didn't win, but I visited it many times, before, during and after the Exposition.
This is how it was on the time the Seaport was operational

Then it was abandomned and became a depot

And the EXPO turned it in one of the most valued areas in Lisbon.

The building on the center is the Oceanarium, and would make an excelent base, since it's isolated on the water, being acessible just by a bridge.
Also I love seaplanes! I made models as a kid/teenager, and I had this

And this

They make lots of sense in the SSSS universe, because land areas are much more dangerous, as we've seen. So when people return to flying machines seaplanes would be a logical choice, and having a base with a handy dock in calm waters...
So I'll think about it, but I like the idea. If anyone has another suggestion I'd love to hear it
