[ open ] operation: baby sea turtle rescue is a go!
WHO: ALL IMPORTS.
WHERE: An Atlantic-facing beach in Eastern Florida.
WHEN: Saturday - Monday
WHAT: Baby leatherback sea-turtles have been stunned by the temperatures of the water at their hatching beach, and must be rounded up in their thousands to be relocated to warmer waters, either to struggle out through the surf on their own, or to be boated out and released directly into the sea!
WARNINGS: ... How can this log have warnings ImPorts rescue baby sea turtles! More information located here.
The long stretch of beach the ImPorts find themselves on is littered with baskets, coolers, styrofoam containers, anything the rescue workers could use to hold the baby sea turtles for transit. Dozens of nests have all emptied of turtles, and gulls roam overhead, looking for opportunities to snatch the stunned baby sea turtles tumbling around in the waves. The shock of the unexpected temperature on their tiny systems renders them incapable of moving, and ImPorts will soon find themselves ushered to the water line to grab tiny, tumbling turtles out of the water.
When enough are collected, a portion of the volunteers and ImPorts are pulled aside to ride with the baby turtles down the coastline to warmer waters, where they'll either be asked to cart the containers down to the waterline to release the baby sea turtles and watch that they don't end up shocked all over again, or instructed to go out to sea on any of the chartered or volunteer-driven boats and release the sea turtles directly into the warmer ocean waters.
Water and lunches will be provided, dinner is haphazard, come as you go. Bright search floodlights are set up on Saturday night so that collection rescue efforts can continue without much interruption. If the same is needed on Sunday night, it will be provided.
For some ImPorts, this will be the first time their arrival isn't treated with great fanfare. People with abilities that assist in the collection and redistribution of the baby sea turtles will get relieved displays of gratitude from attending volunteers and any press drawn to the scene, but much of the fervency seen elsewhere will be largely absent.

[ He says that with a huff, giving the birds wheeling around the sky a narrow-eyed look. ]
I can stick around here with you until your basket is full, if you'd like.

[ While he keeps his eyes on the sky, an ear is swiveled towards her as she talks, listening. ]
I might be scary to the gulls, but I don't think I'd do too well at gently picking up baby turtles, like you can.

[She smiles and leans down for another chin skritch.]
So we'll make a good team. What's your name? I'm Jennifer.

[She sets the basket down and stretches her arms.]
Again, thanks for rushing to my rescue. Have you been in this world for very long?

[ He has to stop and think about that one, head tilting slighting to one side. Time wasn't usually something he kept track of at that much length. ]
It's been... huh. I don't know exactly. I've been here long, though, when there were not as many imPorts, when they threw the first welcoming party on that lady's boat. [ Events were easier to keep track of, though they wouldn't hold much meaning to someone newer to the world here. That in mind, he'll take a guess: ] So, months, I guess? Lots of them.

I've only been here a few weeks myself, but I've met several others who have been here a very long time. Part of me hopes I get to go home soon, but... if I do have to be stuck here a while, this place doesn't seem all that bad so far, either.

Tell me about it- I didn't have any superpowers or anything back home, so it was quite a shock to suddenly have them when I was brought here. Now I'm considered a superhero. Never thought that this is where my life would end up.
