A basic direction change requires one press of the directional key.

Let go, and you'll continue moving in the same direction by inertia. Regular pods without treads are pretty intuitive. To brake and stop yourself from smashing into something, hold SHIFT. You should also try to avoid running into any solid objects if you collide into something, you'll damage both your pod and the thing you smashed into, depending on the angle of the collision and the speeds at which you and the other object collided. Steering depends on whether or not your pod uses has treads, though in both cases you should be mindful of inertia. The engine and life support start turned on.

Either drag-and-drop yourself onto the pod or left-click on the pod and select the icon of a little stick figure entering something that says Board. вЂњWe are optimistic that we may find the pod, and the orcaвЂ™s health is still stable, but we are also being realistic as we consider the ongoing welfare of this animal вЂ“ that has to be our number one concern.Getting inside the pod is easy enough. The team has at least a few more days up their sleeves to attempt this, Angus said. She said there is no doubt that DOC will take into account perspectives from other scientists, but that her focus is not on вЂњthe naysayers, but doing what is right for ToaвЂќ.ДOCвЂ™s marine species manager Ian Angus said while the rescue operation is entering into a delicate stage, the focus remains on reuniting Toa with his pod. She is using her own network of international orca and stranding experts to assist her in ToaвЂ™s care. Visser is the only person in the country with a Phd in New Zealand Orca and is frequently called upon to offer expert advice internationally. Despite her intermittent sleep, she is constantly alert to what is happening in ToaвЂ™s pool, and gently offers volunteers directions over what to do with him.Дr Ingrid Visser, an expert on orcas, at Plimmerton in New Zealand where rescuers are working to keep baby killer whale Toa alive. She is rugged up in layers of warm clothing with a hot water bottle held close to her chest. вЂњWe reserve our love, compassion and empathy for вЂextraordinary speciesвЂ™ like whales which we can celebrate вЂsavingвЂ™.вЂќДr Ingrid Visser has been at the site, coordinating care for Toa, since the beginning. Of course, we all crave a Disney happy ending, but what matters most here is not our understandable human sentiment and emotion, but notably the viability and welfare of Toa.вЂќДЄnnie Potts, a professor in human-animal studies at the University of Canterbury, highlighted the incongruence between how humans treat a whale calf compared with, say, the farming of bobby calves for veal. вЂњNew Zealand has no captive or rehabilitation facility that could support Toa. It is an exercise in devotion, but some scientists are questioning whether keeping an infant whale on a type of human life-support for this long is ethical.Дr Karen Stockin, a marine biologist, said internationally recognised practice for separated cetaceans this young is either lifelong human care or euthanasia. With another storm forecast in the coming days, rescuers have decided it is better to limit the number of times Toa is moved between sites. Flooding from the storm put pressure on the wastewater pipes, causing sewage to spill out into the harbour and rendering it a health and safety hazard for staff. Keeping him in the ocean could have caused injury to both whale and staff during the wild weather. The teams were forced to move Toa out of the sea-pen they had created in the harbour, into a 32,000-litre seawater holding pool set-up in the carpark of the Plimmerton boating club.

Last week, a once-in-a-decade storm ripped through the Wellington region, bringing winds up to 140km/h, four-metre swells and flooding. The collective efforts have been considerable but fraught with difficulties. One day with him would have been plenty.вЂќ ItвЂ™s super special, but we are just desperate for him to get back to his family. вЂњHe is really affectionate and really gentle. She, and her 17-year-old brother Ben, who found Toa on the rocks, have formed a special relationship with the calf. Volunteer and Plimmerton local, Brianna Norris, 21, is into her eighth day volunteering.
