Sure. Where do you want to meet?

The recovery room in the infirmary seems empty. I'll be over there.

Go to the recovery room in the infirmary, and read the mission logs from my tablet to kill the time.

[Radio Controlled]

Anton paused his final checkup of the trailer to look at the wristpad that beeped for attention.

  Chernozorov here. All things considered, I would much rather be on the Experimentation team. I had a few tests in mind for the anomalies around us, so unless you really need a halfdecent tech at the base I would prefer a switch.
That said, I would like to ask for some cooperation from you. My examination of the previous team's footage has yielded rather inconclusive results. One thing I was able to determine was that the previous team leader had done some planning before leaving the base. Whatever it was, it might take your clearance as the current leader to make ALVIN cooperate and present any and all information it has regarding those plans, as well as the general situation on the base prior to our arrival.

"I think I've had enough of this enclosed space at the moment. Rapidly running out of things to do."
Send the message, coordinate with Miyamoto to try and dig up what the previous team leader was doing. That done, go outside. If there are still small bluerad shards in the trail, take aim at one from a safe distance and try to heat it up with a laser pulse from the Red Hand. Observe effects.

"Sure, I'll add you to Experimentation team, but if Mesk also wants to get some 'fresh air', you guys will have to duke out who goes when. I just want there to be 2 people at base at all times, in case someone gets a stroke or something. And besides, Red team won't ever be more than a Bighexe away, so if I need you to tie my shoelaces I'll know where to find you."

((Anton got moved from Base team to Red team, bringing said team to 5 and base team to 2.))


Go to Central Control, try to determine what planning, if any, had been done by the previous team.

((Paris, why am I listed as the leader of Red squad? Did something change without me noticing it? Otherwise, I think me and Radio's positions in your notes got screwed up.))

((Congrats! You got, erm, promoted to do some field work. As in, you'll be leading the team that'll investigate and experiment on the various stuff we found around our base.))

[Tavik Toth]

Go to recovery room.

"What do you want to talk about?"

[PyroDesu]

((Derp on me missing that.))

Private channel to Miyamoto and Red Team: Will do, Miyamoto, once I finish up a few chemical tests. Also I think it would be a good idea if you were to loan me and Red team use of Gilgamesh, so if that artifact from the zone storm is still as 'hot' as it was, we might be able to safely handle it. Without Gilgamesh or similar, I'm going to go ahead and forbid the entire team from going near that thing. Last thing we need is Mesk having to perform more surgery because we went and burnt ourselves on that thing again.

Grab another few bits of all samples, and subject each to the following in the fumehood: Sulfuric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid, Aqua Regia (Mix 1:3 nitric/hydrochloric acid), Ammonia, Sodium Hypochlorite solution, Potassium Rhodizonate imbued paper, (Molten) Sodium Hydroxide (be sure to use a metal container), (Molten) Potassium Chlorate, and Acetone. Observe any and all effects.

((There is good reason for the quadruple acid tests, different things react to different acids differently.))

[Thearpox]

Go to recovery room.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"What do you think of the HMRC so far? In particular, of our spinal implants."

((This might take a while, but I don't want to monologue you to death and just assume your responses.))

Private channel back: "While I trust you would take care of him, I still feel a bit... iffy about loaning Gilgamesh, after all he has saved my life more than I can count already. But what the hell, as long as you take good care of it, you can use him to aid in the experiments. Remember it has cameyes installed by the way, it could prove useful. And please don't break it.


Hmm, I just realized, are you even able to use a battlesuit? Y'know, being full synthflesh?"

[PyroDesu]

To Miyamoto: Not synthflesh, just synthetic. Although I do wonder if I'll fit in with this fairly spikey Phase Suit on... At least that can be remedied. If I have to take that off, can I trust you to keep it safe? It's... valuable. Indeed, it's the reason I got through the entirety of my last mission unscathed. So please don't let anyone else even near it, after all, we didn't get in here by being the most honest people around, eh?

[Corsair]

((the rocks from the gravity zone))
Leave stuff outside the lab with a note saying needs examination then leave base with storage containers and a shovel like object (if available) and grab following samples;
  -Rock from each of the hexes at surface depth and 12 inches into the soil
  -Blue glass from available small sources (NOT huge chunks)
  -Some liquid iron from the top and a few inches into the ponds and from multiple ponds 
    in insulated containers to keep it semi-liquid or entirely liquid (Do not interact with wildlife)
  -Some of the flat stuff from sector 2? (if possible)
After all of the above samples have been collected pile them outside the lab door in an organised system according to hex gathered from and depth then send following to simus:

Samples outside door according to hex gathered and depth within hex. Will you be done with the glass soon? also I'd suggest collecting the iron before it cools.

[/color]
After receiving Simus' message wait for team then perform previous set of actions normally after telling the team my plans

[PyroDesu]

I highly recommend you wait for the rest of the team before leaving the base. While I won't argue if you want to guinea pig yourself in one or two anomalies, you will wait for the entire team to be present before you leave this base to start collecting stuff.

I'm sorry if I seem to be acting totalitarian, but totalitarian and safe is preferable to neither.

[Doomblade187]

Join up with my team, and make sure I have an extra nutrient-pack on hand. If not, get one.

[Prosperus]

"Ah, experiments! What kinda?"

Help Mesh get out of the wall if he is still stuck.

[Unholy_Pariah]

gather up supplies for a new basic medkit, try not to melt this one.

also grab a few days worth of food.

((do i have heatproof suit compartments i can stick stuff in?))

[Parisbre56]

Spoiler: To do list (responSe) (click to show/hide)

Why would you put your to do list and not keep it secret? To tell you the truth, Vich also has a to do list, but I'm keeping it under a tight lid. But since you posted it, I might as well remark on it.
   I guess I trust people. I found it interesting and thought I should share. Besides, what are they going to do, steal my roleplay or steal my bad jokes?

-Search about the altered and how they were capable of long range communication and what enabled them to mutate so fast on the internet.
-Search about the Sword and its past on the internet.
   Searching for anything on the internet is a waster of time. I don't think we've had a single case where it's been useful. Especially anything about the altered, and the highly secretive HMRC>
      Not true. The internet did provide good info about the altered wars and other historical things. And the public knows about the HMRC, they just prefer not to think about it. Of course I do not expect top secret files to be available online unless this age has a Wikileaks equivalent.
-Ask Steve if he really was constructed from the brains of dead inmates.
   Some of your questions to Steve I actually find very interesting.

      ---If yes, ask him if it would be possible to become part of Steve.
          Why?
             Roleplaying. Flint is an old man that doesn't believe in god. Old men think about death and the afterlife. The mind is the place where who we are (feelings, experiences, etc.) is stored. Having the part of his mind that remains after death be used in Steve would count as a form of afterlife (and I'm sure brother Lars would say it's the best afterlife one can hope for).

-Ask the doctor whether or not he can sing.
    That question is copyrighted by Harry Baldman. It's not your position to ask it.
      Hey, I thought about it first. I have every right to ask it. Just because he suddenly decided to become a space bard that doesn't automatically give him the copyright to every song related question. Completely irrelevant, but with your speech, you should try to be a space bard and boost our morale with song: "Don't die, don't die, don't die to the horrible alien anomaly."

-Ask the doctor to make me a horse lizard like thing, something that is fast and can survive the same things as a MK1.
    You mean the heavy and extremely protective mining exosuit is not enough? And here I was thinking it was a permanent part of you. I was also hoping you'd keep human. Oh well.
      I'm just looking for something fast. The exosuit is nice, sure, and Flint likes it because it has saved his life many times, but I prefer speed over strength. I'm going to go for a dexterity based full synthflesh body when I have the tokens for it. I'll probably either sell the suit or give it to an inmate who needs it more. Of course, Flint likes his current body. It'll take some roleplay for him to take that decision.


   --Test if the doctor has a sense of humor. Tell him that I've heard he makes pets in exchange for body parts and joke while asking him about the cost by saying "I hope it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. Heh! Get it? An arm and a leg?"
    I don't get it either.
      "Costs an arm and a leg" is an expression meaning "is very very expensive". And in our case very expensive actually means giving an arm and a leg or more to the Doctor. Get it now?

-Tell the Doctor that I support genetic augmentation and that's part of the reason I'm here. See his reaction.
   Don't expect any. You're not the first one to try to get under his skin.
      Again, this is mostly for roleplaying, since Flint believes genetic augmentation is the future for mankind, so the doctor would be something like a personal hero to him. The possibility of learning more about him is just an added bonus.

((@Corsair and everyone else going to the volcanically active zone, remember that the high temperature will melt most of the stuff you're carrying. Someone should check whether or not putting them in a heat resistant sample container would protect them.))

((@PyroDesu: There might be a problem with fitting your rocket pods in Gilgamesh, but from what I've read, the inside has enough room for the pilot to eat and sleep, so you should be fine.
And asking piecewise to perform all of these experiments? This is going to be interesting. Good thing I cannot use my geological knowledge IC, otherwise I'd be all over that "normal rock" thing. Every geologist knows that there is no such thing as normal rock. Each rock tells a story about the history of the planet, how it came to be and how it evolved.))

[Toaster]

Brother Lars nodded to Miyamoto.  "I accept your orders, glorious leader.  Since we are just walking instead of using the shuttles to explore, shall both our teams just be brought there in the big shuttle instead of leaving our mini-shuttles there?"

Lars then spoke to his team.  "Team, rest up and get ready to go.  We leave in the morning.


Get food and travel supplies, including three mapping drones.  See if there are tents and bedrolls, etc.  Be sure the Mark of Algis on the chest of my suit is still there.

Check inventory.

Read god entry of Hal-mon, Father of the Engineer's Pantheon before bed.

Jack shrugs."Meh, nowhere near as bad as the jails on earth back in the 2070s. Also not that bothered by the spinal implant, the UWM though..."
