((Perhaps it should be left to Piecewise to determine what would be the name realistically resulting from such a night of drunken revelry. ))

[Unholy_Pariah]

I thought that was what we were doing..

((The only catch being that the robots among us can't get drunk. But still, speech rolls.))

((This is an outrage. I shall begin prototyping a synthetic mouth-liver-brainport attachment to rectify this at once.))

((You have a brain. Alcohol acts on the brain. All you need is a way to pour alcohol in your brainjar and a way to metabolise it or filter it so that you don't die from brain damage. EDIT: Insert too brain damaged to have further brain damage joke here. EDIT2: I approove of the new synth-liver concept. In fact, I bet they already have a few of those on board. You may get one for free from the Doctor if you ask nicely.))

((Really, a synth-digestive system/mouth-brain interface would be nice if for no other reason than to be able to eat food.))

Lars looked at the pad.  Huh.  Business first, then pleasure.

"Overlord Alvin, scion of Steve, is the blockage clear?"

He then grabbed some food and sat down with the pad.  What was this?

Report to Alvin, get food, read pad.


((For the base, Toaster votes Canary Base and Lars votes Algis's Rest.  For the planet... Lars votes Steve's Glory and Toaster has no real strong opinion- he'd probably just bandwagon on Wastes of Time for the double meaning.))

[Doomblade187]

((Votes: Planet, I'd have to say Wastes of Time (the alternate language preferred personally), and Algis' Rest for the base.))

[Zako]

((Algis' Rest sounds decent enough of a base name for me. And I like the deathtrap one for the planetname too.))

Quietly read over Lars' shoulder as he looks at the pad.

[Corsair]

((Interesting))
Go back to base after noting the position of this blue stuff then after arriving check my radiation levels and any useful information that was gathered. Make sure to throw pebbles all the way.

shake hands with everybody at the party and wish them good luck

((4 mph for 16,5 hours means doing 66 miles, or 106.22 kilometers. How could I not have the fuel for that, if I did have enough to rescue flint and Jobasio in the previous mission? How strong is the gravity here?

Also, I am correct that we aren't supposed to map the whole planetoid? Or does that map of yours 'bend' back at itself at the edges, like on a map of the globe?))

Send following to Bishop:

Hey there Bshop, I need to get the technical data on the automapping drones, like their operational range etc. Could you, or one of your technicians, go check them out for me? I will also need the specs on those communication landlines Steve mentioned. Strangly, it seems Alvin doesn't have this info, cause he didn't answer me when i asked him.
Anyway, once you have it, come to the planning room, I'll be preparing our first explorations here.

Then, turning to Simus: "I have been thinking about how we should do this. It would seem prudent if we did a rough scan of the area first, noting points of interest and setting up communication landlines as we go. Then, once we have an idea of the layout of this rock, we investigate important regions in more detail.

Now, the idea would be we, for example, send a team going north from here to the edge of the 'map', after which they go clockwise at the edge untill the get at the most north-east part, after which they go back to the base. While they go north, from time to time they would send mapping drones going clockwise, and they pick them up again on their way back. Once they return, we update the master map here. This would require 4 trips in total, each trip taking roughly 3-5 days at most, barring any alien shenanigans of course.

Any thoughts on this?"

((Comes after a brief hiatus. Huh. Seems Flint (is it okay if I call you by your character name?) decided to take up the voting. I actually planned to do it myself. In this case, I'll vote too, since I haven't yet. And fine, I'll limit mine to three suggestions, but I was serious when I said that it would be better to have more (at least five, for that matter).

Here's my votes. Sorry for lateness:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Planetoid name:

1: DeathtrAP-1774
2: AP-1774
3: SR388

Base name:

1: Canary Base
2: Hell's Arse
3: Algis's Rest

Vich takes up his digital version of HMRC Pantheon book, and searches it for a god of diplomacy. After that, he searches for a god of spies, and a god of deceit. He notes all the gods that fit the description, and reads the first entry he found that matches.

((For how to count up the voting, I originally planned to go with the Australian system I outlined in my original post where I described the rules for the voting, but since people only gave three choices, it's kind of hard to get a majority. So I suggest checking first if it works, and if it doesn't, probably do it the simplest way possible.))

[Zako]

I'll get on it after I'm done with a few things first. Won't take long and I'll start with the landlines first, seeing how they are more important right now. Let me know if you want an honest and sensible (read: sane) opinion on something too, seeing how more than one person on this rock isn't exactly the most 'stable' or 'mentally dependable'. I still don't quite trust Mesk with medicine...
