(Is that everybody on the shuttle?)

[Radio Controlled]

Fetch Simus' stuff and hand it back. Then take a sample from the back of the specimen, about 10 cm deep. Perform basic tests to see what its basic components are, then move on to identifying more complex molecules.

((You want me to give specific tests, or would you like it more to simply tell me what one could find out with the available tools?))

[Parisbre56]

((@RC:I've got some weirdvision info on the rocklice in the alien autopsies section of my notes if you want some ideas.
@Mesk: I think all of green team is aboard.))

Send a drone over the domes (look if there's something special in the center of the sector) and a drone over the salt.

((I know, and thanks for the pointer, but still wanna try it, 'cause I have to start somewhere. Besides, I don't think Morul ever shared his knowledge anyway, so in-game it still makes sense.))

But if you can find a chemical test or something, that might work.

((I tried that, you never responded properly. There was a very good reason I listed all of those different chemicals when I did my initial testing.))

Hey Miyamoto, I'm done with Gilgamesh for now, I'll park him in the garage, then I would like to get my phase suit back.

Park Gilgamesh in the garage, then assist Miyamoto's shell testing (on separate pieces of shell) with the same physical and chemical tests that were performed last time. (Test a bit of each sample in the following manner: Examine under microscope, weigh on scale/measure volume (and calculate density derived from those two measurements), submit to hardness testing, test radiation/heat emission, test for electric charge, submit to flame (be sure to record flame colour), then, after the sample has cooled, reexamine under microscope to see if the structure may have changed during heating, reweigh on scale/measure volume (and calculate density derived from those two measurements), resubmit to hardness testing, retest radiation/heat emission, retest for electric charge. Record all test results on a datapad, then put physical tested samples in different containers, with their names appended with (Physical Properties Tested), 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.)

((This might be a bit meta-gamey, but the reason I didn't start listing an enormous amount of tests like you did is because PW might not know what half of those would result in, even if he knows what the creature is supposed to be. Not only that, but there would be so many possible tests to do it would be a real chore to do them all, and for him to answer them all, for every shiny we find. That's why I made my action so that he can decide what we are capable of finding out. Not that you should refrain from doing these tests of course, just trying to save you the trouble.))

'Sure, I'll go fetch it. Tell me, did you like it? The suit's capabilities?'

[Remalle]

Head home.

[Tavik Toth]

Wait for shuttle to return to base then go find Miyamoto and tell him what happend.

[Parisbre56]

((I was actually saying it could give you some ideas about specific tests you could do. We can't trust those weirdvision alien stuff with everything.))

[Corsair]

((Which one of us had wierd vision again? as that could be useful in finding out what mineral samples we gather contain or just a bit more about them.))
"Ok then"
see if it is possible to rig up a rough flame test to check for any traces of phosphorus,copper,rubidium ect. See if it is possible to use a similar technique as is used on stars to ascertain chemical components due to absorption of different visible light wavelengths (from memory spectral absorbtion or something similar)

[Unholy_Pariah]

sleep it off

[PyroDesu]

((I listed at least one indicator, which would be Potassium Rhodizonate, which'll show any lead in whatever kind of alloy it is. Hydrochloric acid reacts violently with zinc, sulfuric acid produces green smoke in contact with copper, and the other chemicals serve similar purposes, as well as testing corrosion properties (Aqua Regia is almost specifically for that purpose). But yeah, if PW wants me to explain what something in the tests is for, I have no issue telling him so that he can give a better picture. And if he wants me to slow down my experimental batteries, I'm good with that too.

And Corsair, the flame colour test is a part of my physical test regime, but PW never answered it for my original samples.))

It's powerful, that's for sure. I didn't mess with it too much, it's yours, not mine, and it's mostly built for combat anyways. I might get synthflesh first, but a battlesuit might be worth looking into, especially if I customize it in Tinker before ordering it. Might even try to find a way to incorporate the Phase Armor into one.

[Toaster]

Get treated.  Beseech help from any gods that listen.

[Zako]

((Ouch, it seems like Mesk is still a bit sore over the whole 'I'll-gouge-your-lungs-out-with-a-fork-you-bastard' thing. Who knew, huh?))

Chill out and wait for the drones to return. Chuck a few rocks out onto the salt flat and try to hit one of the larger crystals to see if anything happens. If nothing bad happens, go ahead and scrape up a sample into a container, being careful not to touch it at all with anything but the sample container.

Continue around the iron lake, staying alert.
