Nevea stopped as Seth began to speak, and then nodded when he finished, understanding. "Splendid," she said, simply. "Explaining all of that would have been rather tiresome." She hadn't been looking for Seth's awareness, and her mind had dismissed his presence, so she hadn't noticed him when casting her awareness. However, it was fairly fortuitous that he would be used to it and could do it already.She, of course, knew exactly what kind of magic Seth wielded, but of its nature she cared not. She would use anything she had at her disposal to accomplish her ends. She certainly wasn't scared of dark magic. She in fact rather liked it; it did useful things that nothing else did right. What she felt of the magic when casting her awareness sent not chills down her back."Currently, nothing," she said, in response to his question. "Although I do hope they'll be able to insert the mechanisms. I think they will, but they should just make sure. On that topic, a few of you should also start working on the firing mechanism, so that that and the rotation mechanism can be designed in tandem. Otherwise there may be problems with compatibility." With that, the campers working on the rotation mechanism joined with a few others to begin working on the connection of both.

Is anyone going to post? I know the people meant to go on a quest haven't even started it yet, I seriously hope this isn't slowing down already...

So, I think what you can do is insert a bit of a time-skip to when the designs are finished and ready to start prototyping. In fact, if you need extra post materiel (e for a reason lel), you can describe them making and inserting the mechanisms.
