Wake up my dog from it's container then use it to look for interesting smells

It wouldn't be able to breathe...

Not like that detered us even decades ago. I don't know about the other animals, but the dogs just might have gotten a space-suit of some kind. Just don't except them to be able to bite.. i guess.
 "The dog tackles you with his head, denting his space-suit in the progress. It sails of in an arc!"

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!

[Rolepgeek]

It wouldn't go splat. It would suffocate. Slowly and painfully. As for escaped lurker...You can put in an animal in a sealed suit. The animal would not be able to smell anything.

If our animal caretaker is an idiot, Kamanashi will have issues.

Officer Bradley went west, trying to accurately determine when she stopped feeling like a lovesick adolescent. She's done a pretty good job. She then continues onward as far as she can see the cart...or, more accurately, until she reaches a fork in the cave. By this point, she has become aware of small, demonic-looking creatures lurking at her sides, darting away and cackling when she looks towards them.

Dr. Kamanashi watched Clair head for the west. "O-isha-san, what has happened to Clay-ir-san? Another anomaly?" Doc briefly explained the apparent effects of the anomaly. Kamanashi nodded, then went into the anomaly, noting that he is, indeed, stricken blind instantly or near it. He marked the boundary of the anomaly, muttering about how he would need to get around it. Kamanashi grabbed a dart pistol and chatted into his headset. "Tomoko, is there a compass in the suit?" "Negative, and sensors indicate a negligible magnetic field. However, other direction-finding equipment is enabled." "Hm...Jair-edi-kun, would you please begin setting up some portion of the base, or accompany Cay-ir-san?" The kunning Khan ignores his question, though.

Dr. Zwerkov muttered a bit. "No, that's about what we had expects." "I wasn't talking to you...but I am now. I want the data on density and anything special that these rocks are made off after the lab finishes the diagnosis." He gets back to collecting samples. "Average chemical composition: 19.9% silicon dioxide, 18.6% magnesium oxide, 16.6% ferrous oxide, 10.4% water, 6.6% free iron, 4.8% free cobalt, 3.4% free nickel, 2.9% free uranium, 2.5% aluminum oxide, 2.2% carbon, 1.9% uranium oxide, 1.6% sulfur, 1.1% assorted amino acids, 0.9% sodium oxide, 0.8% free neptunium 0.5%, fermium oxide, 0.4% phosphorous pentoxide, 6.9% trace chemicals, ±0.04%. Anomalies or equipment malfunction suspected. Notable outliers include rocks with high free cobalt, free uranium, uranium oxide, assorted amino acids, free neptunium, and neptunium oxide, or low concentrations of magnesium oxide, water, free iron, free cobalt, aluminum oxide, and fermium oxide." "...I see. Can you save the information for later review?" "Done automatically approx. 12 milliseconds before reporting." "Excellent. Um, anything indicating a likelihood of cave-ins?" "Negative, though scans were insufficient to determine such. Risk of cavein estimated low without severe trauma."

Doc begins setting up a medical station. (You might want to explain what exactly you want to do, but it'll probably take longer than the others' actions anyways.)

Khan removes a dog, placing a breathing apparatus over its head. [9] May looks at you happily.

Gender: Male
Profession: Research Scientist
Position: Technical Officer
Bio: Kamanashi was born to an upper-middle class family living in Tokyo. They had high expectations for him, and he fulfilled all of them and more. By the time he was in the sixth grade, he'd constructed a scale model of a new rocket design. Next was a bio-engineered tree before he was a sophomore in high school. A true prodigy, he didn't get a 'real' job for a long time. Rather, he stayed in college for 14 years, learning everything he could. This was funded by the occasional spree of inventions and writing of books. To Kamanashi, learning and knowledge is the only purpose for human life, and he pursues those goals with a passion. When he was 44, the government approached him about some strange occurences they'd found, asking him to help with the technical aspect. Only too happy to oblige, having grown bored with most research he could do on the planet's surface, he went up into space for the first time.

He was hired for this fact after graduating in his fifth year, being a fully certified surgeon in half the time most would. He was hired almost right after he left the grounds to provide medical aid to those needing it during the expedition. He was given some basic weapons training as a just in-case. Along with this, he has a carefree nature and likes to play computer games in his spare time. He doesn't hesitate to crack a joke when someones hurt, no matter how bad the injury or joke, to help lighten the mood.

Profession: Astronautical Engineer
Position: Dedicated Engineer
Bio: Yevgeniy comes from a rather humble background and achieved most of his higher schooling by schoolarship. Still, after completing his studies he was burdened with debt and drafted into mandatory service. With good results in basic training and a sleugh of apptitude tests later he was scouted as candidate for the (quite good paying - his reason d' entré) space program and - long story short - by commiting for 10 years he got in. Most of these and the years after he has spent in space. After surviving the occasional particle-collision, freak solar-flares nebst other mishaps and having participated in his share of emergency missions, "Yev" is one of the most experienced personel "up there". When he got the offer for the current mission, the pay seemed good enough - even after he got to know the specifics by commiting. His main objective in the mission is to ensure the functionality of the technical equipment and setting up the base.

The medical station: 1 of the small inflatable tents, 1 cot, 1 sleeping bag, 1 of the glow orbs, 1 of the small tarps and 5 of the knock-out darts.. Set up the tarp on the ground, then the tent, then the cot and sleeping bag with the orb to the side in case more light is needed, and the same for the darts if a sedative would be required.

[escaped lurker]

After reading through the data once again, Yev's only action is to shake his head, stiffling a small laugh.

"Allright Боб, leave our Technical Officer those results - let him figure out where the auto-lab went wrong. Highlight me the boxes with parts for the port instead, and let us hope that there wont be any quakes."

"Zwerkov to Team - anything speaking against setting up Port, or would you guys rather wait with that untill further exploration is finished?"

Waiting for input from team - if positive for go, start to unload partitions of the port - if negative start listening to classical music see if the Doc could use another pair of hands in setting up the medical station.

[RangerCado]

"I say we should set up the sensors so we have an idea of how many chambers there are, and if we have any hostiles nearby before setting up shop."

(specifically how many chambers there are around, and if theres a lot of movement in them.)

"Bradley, do you see anything out there?"

[scapheap]

Return to base, marking the spot were the devils disappear.

[Rolepgeek]

Kamanashi starts doing what he was brought to do. Research, and the beginnings of the field base. He heads back to the cart, and begins going through it. Pulling out an air compressor, the doctor takes a sample of the air in the immediate area, to analyze in detail for possible causes later. He goes carefully to the blinding area and takes a sample there as well, careful not to put his head in the area. He speaks as he does so. "Tomoko, document another anomaly, please. Name; Ankoku, Effect: Complete Blindness whilst in area. Full area unknown. Causes: Uncertain, possibly electromagnetic fields affecting the eye's ability to focus the light." That done, he returns to the cart again, puts the air compressor back, and heads to the smaller cavern they hadn't explored yet; if it was free of anomalies, it should be an excellent location to set up a base.
