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.

((Just read something disconcerting, the crstal is in our base hex... shouldnt we be running?))
((No. Not running. We will evacuate in an orderly fashion, taking as many supplies with us as we can, and shutting down the whole base, AI included, when we do. The crystal reacts to stimuli. Blackout the base and get our stuff out of the way just in case, and let it do its thing. With any luck, the closest stimulus it finds will be the garbage disposal crater.))

((Organizing an expedition to the crashed shuttle. Without much coordination with the rest of the team, I might add. Also, the MPV has a trailer exactly so it can take more than two people at once. The trailer alone should be able to carry four people, if slowly (and with some kind of external powersource required). ))

((The expedition to the crashed shuttle is a nice addition. It just happens to lie exactly where I want to evacuate, and gives me something to get Bishop on my side. As for coordination, might I add that our command were very busy for the longest time, so it was pretty easy to get off with whatever I wanted. Personal priorities before the team's, you know. ;D

Oh, and the trailer is occupied with food, and I don't want to move slowly.

Also, you might want to take the rest of the food from the kitchen to life support. You know, to be safe.))

((Guys, it is not following that goo sample. For starters, it made that canyon before Flint took that goo, and it's only following the canyon. And second, the first reason is good enough.

And Corsair, I think we've already got a team ready. So sorry, but no, unless something changes.))

"Right. 3 people go, you lot decide who. Bring back everything you can, even scrap. I'll have to stay here to fix up our robotic residents. Don't wreck the tools and don't die. Have fun and notify me when you get back with a load of salvage."

Inspect the damage to our robotic overlords and have them run a few diagnostics for me to tell me what's wrong.

Anton returns to the Garage, dragging Flint along, and observes Lukas and Gilgamesh being deposited into the repair area as Bishop prepares to run diagnostics. He leaves Flint to his own devices and joins the inspection committee of the Robot Overlords.

"Hey, Bishop. Potato?" Anton tosses a frozen potato to Bishop. "A mild case of brain-melt in the freezer. If this is what HMRC does to people, I'll be glad to get this over with as soon as possible, one way or another." He turns his attention back at the robots, circling Gilgamesh to take a look at the damage. "So, what are we looking at, besides a pair of tin soldiers someone hit with a blowtorch? Our stocks of giant robot parts don't look too good, so I have a feeling we'll have to improvise a lot of this stuff. I have a possible donor in mind..." Anton looks back at the corner of the Garage where Flint left the exosuit "..but it's kind of a last resort option." Noticing Simus scrutinizing Gilgamesh's surface, he adds. "But I do believe XO has the right idea. Let's make sure Miyamoto can get out of there first."

Aid Simus and Bishop in examining the damage to the robots and finding an external release mechanism to open up Gilgamesh so that our glorious Leader can get out. Mentally compare the damaged parts to those of Flint's exosuit and available spares, see if we have enough parts at all to actually perform proper repairs on either machine.

"My work here is done. Time to check up on my pet goo."

((Warning! Warning! Long action incoming!
@Piecewise: If it's too much just do as much as you want/as much as possible and I'll post the rest in next turn.))

Check if the lab has a vacuum glove box.

If there isn't one, create one by taking a transparent airtight sample container, drilling holes for the gloves and a valve, attaching the gloves and valve and isolating them with some adhesive (silicon works although I'm guessing we have some high tech stuff here to fix suit holes), then creating a simple vacuum pump and attaching it to the valve.

Ask Simus and everybody else if they have any ideas for any other tests besides the ones I'm conducting.
Take the goo sample from the fridge.
Put the goo sample in the vacuum glove box along with a few sample containers and a few microscope slides. Also add an atmospheric and temperature sensor like the ones we have in our suits or better if possible, if the vacuum glove box doesn't have one already installed. Also put any materials required for the experiments Simus or anybody else want me to perform inside.
Pump the air out.
Careful open the goo box while sampling the air that comes out. Check the air's temperature and components and compare them to the state of the lake before it was disturbed. See if the cold of the fridge had any effect on the speed of whatever process is happening there.
Split the goo into multiple containers. Close one container and keep it to the side and make sure I do not touch it or otherwise mess with it so that I have an "as pure as possible" sample.
Put a miniscule amount of goo in a few microscope slides.
If possible, pump the air into a suitable container. If no containers or other devices capable of receiving and storing air are available, just put the hose out of the base with the help of ALVIN and pump the air out. If that's not possible, find or create a second vacuum pump and attach it with a valve to an airtight container. Empty the air out of the container and then transfer the air from the vacuum glove box to the airtight container. Drill holes and connect with hoses as common sense dictates, because I don't want to start drawing diagrams or make this action any more complicated.
Perform any tests Simus and anybody else has given me.
Empty the air (if any) from those experiments to separate containers if possible, or at least take samples from them.
Label all sample containers appropriately.
Once the vacuum glove box is as empty of air as possible and all containers inside it are sealed, pump air from the outside to it.
Label all samples appropriately.
Take the goo samples back to the fridge.
Look at one of the goo slides in the microscope. Record results.
Announce results of testing to team.
