Auron kell - team green

get in the shuttle, follow lars when we land

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Check fuel levels and get the shuttle prepped for takeoff while I wait for the two teams to get in.

Canary base team.

Take Simus' stuff and stuff it in my quarters. Be sure to lock the door behind me. Then go help her get acquainted with my suit.

"By the way Simus, if you want you could split your team up for easier working. Don't say you have to, you can see what's best once you're in the field. Just saying."

Actually, that is a good idea, Miyamoto. Looks like I've got Lukas on my team, so he can take the others with him to the volcanic zone while I study the artifact.

Red Team, minor change of plan, you're all going to go ahead of me. We know pretty much all we need to about the zone around the base, except for the artifact I will be studying, so Lukas will take the rest of you on ahead to the volcanic zone.

Flint Westwood - Blue Squad - Garage

((@Pyro: I thought "be all over someone" meant "pressure someone" but after a quick internet search I found out that it can mean anything from being annoyed with somebody to make sexual advances to somebody so, poor choice of words there.))

Useless piece of crap. That thing doesn't know a thing. Or maybe it's just not talking to me.

@Miyamoto:"Hey, I just had a little chat with ALVIN. He told me he had information about how this base was constructed but then refused to reveal anything. Could you try asking it yourself when you have the time? Maybe it can only reveal certain info to the team leader or maybe some info can only be obtained from the computer in your personal quarters."

Get my suit, weapons and one of those rods and get to da choppa.

"So we're moving out? gimme a minute I've got to get some stuff"
Grab high heat resistance containers and multiple small high heat resistance containers that can store liquid also switch laser rifle for a Gauss rifle if possible along with a shovel like instrument and bucket. Then leave with team and gather samples as before, if heat resistant containers are unavailable when entering volcanic zone leave containers outside to avoid damage.

You go to read the book when you notice something. Vich has added a section! HE HAS ALTERED THE HOLY TEXT! BLASPHEMY! MADNESS!

((Oh, for the love of god, he's got the clean version.))
Quote
Brother Lars snapped out of his meditative trance.  Those had been happening more since his head injury received during his arrest.  Where was Mesk?  Why was Bishop looking at the wall oddly?  Oh well!

Lars wandered down the hallway until he found Vich napping.  Lars shook him awake.

"Brother Vich, may I trouble you for a replacement copy of the HMRC Pantheon?  Mine was lost in the last anomaly.


Bug Vich.
((I was under the impression that I was napping in the barracks. And I've already woken up. But fine, I can play with that.))

"Uh, what? Replacement copy? Why don't you ask Lar... Oh, it's you. Sorry, was sleeping. Didn't you already have it? Well, I suppose you didn't take that book with you for a good reason. Well, hang on a second, let my get the file..."

Vich located the tablet he put under his pillow, and sent the HMRCP to Lars, making sure in the process that he was sending it a clean version, without any notes he left on the gods, and certainly without the self-made god he created in a fit of creativity.

Be ready to go, but leave meltable gear outside volcanic zone.

((@piecewise: I meant that Anton would take the container with bluerad shards with him on the mission, rather than deplete the (admittedly abundant) stores of the lab.))

Anton Chernozorov - Red Team Mechanic - in the Garage.

"Hm. All ready to go, it seems. Should probably take it out for a test-drive... ooor leave it to someone who knows how to drive it, rather than how it works. Right. A few more checkups, then..."

Check that the MPV is charged, attach the trailer and check that it is secure.

Something in Anton's head suddenly clicks, his memory of Vich's request for skates overlapping with the schematic of the MPV and the experiments he planned with the mapping drones. Zero friction... hard to steer... reactive propulsion... Anton snaps his metallic fingers. "Hovercraft."

Take a mapping drone, override its controls to be fully manual. Keep the drone held (keep clear of the thrusters), and gauge how much force a drone can exert. Check for how long can a drone use its thrusters, and whether it can be linked to an external fuel tank for refills. Get an estimate of how much an MPV and two people in suits would weigh.

Get the datapad and start calculating how much operating time, acceleration and maneuverability it could be possible to attain on a frictionless surface with the MPV, using two to four mapping drones as propulsion.

[GREEN TEAM]

"Hrmm. High carbon content, probably too brittle to use for any tool applications without reducing the carbon. Casting should be possible, but I don't think we have the facilities."

Relay findings to Simus, and check inventory.

Blue Team:

((I love Anton. The only problem with tying it to the fuel is that we won't really be ice-skating for fun. Also, it's not frictionless, it's just got less friction than ice.

Also, we could get a sledge, attach a rope to a drone, and have it drag us after it. Meaning, we use the drone instead of horses. Bonus points if it looks like an actual 19th century sledge and we teach the drones to respond to whips.))

Go get my usual inventory for expeditions and go to the shuttle.

"Might I propose that whosever flying this thing takes it up, flyes it a hundred meter, and lands it before we board it? It's not exactly asking for much, but I'd like to know at least that it can go up and land safely before I board it."

(after hearing what Flint said) "We could also send a couple drones ahead of the shuttle at the same altitude, so if there's any anomalies ahead, we'd detect them."



Continue talking with Tavic Toth in alternative dimension. i.e.: waiting for his responce.

((@Sean: Remember, you can always cannibalize a rocket bike for parts. It's not like we have much use for them. Although you should probably get someone's permission for that first, just in case.))

Vich's question reminded Flint of something else. He approached the already crowded cockpit. So this is what I missed with my rocket adventures.
@Mesk:"Have you thought about which route we will take? The way I see it, we can either go through the zone 2/3 border, the zone 2/7 border or fly through zone 2. If we go the first route we'll have to stay just inside the flatzone to avoid both the skylights and the motion anomalies. If we go with either of the other routes we have to be careful of the skylights and anything else, because those areas are mostly unmapped."

Team Steve Green

((Yeah, pretty sure he said it was a clean copy.  Unless the Word of Mod says otherwise, I'm going to act as such.))

Everyone else was getting loaded up, so it was time to do so himself.  Lars messaged his team.  "Team, let us go forth under the auspices of Steve.  May his light guide his path, and us remain ever in the favor of Pathmas."

Get to da shuttle.  Drag along uncooperative teammates.
