If there's a ladder around here, use it to get up to the roof and then down to the garage.
Else, take some wire and tie one end to a piece of scrap that could act as an anchor and the other end on my waist. Start throwing it over the thinnest nearby part of the base and testing the line until I succeed in lodging it somewhere, either on the roof or on the other side. Tie the end that was around my waist somewhere stable nearby. Climb on top of the base and to the other side. Tie the wire on the other side somewhere stable. There should now be an wire connecting the infirmary breach and the other side of the base that can be used to avoid moving through the crater.

Well, this actually lessens the complications with rebuilding the comms array a bit, it's completely destroyed instead of just the aerial. I can just run it to a new location instead of trying to get it jury-rigged into the existing structure. First, though, I need to patch up the Lab umbilical, and the Lab itself, a bit, make them airtight. Anyone thinking about it, don't open the main door into the umbilical, there's hard vacuum behind that.

Collect any fresh wire if it's available, intact scrap wire if needed, collect more scrap wire from the Infirmary if absolutely necessary (If I can't access the Infirmary without crossing the crater, cut a crawlhole into the remaining wall on this side of the crater for access). Once wire is gotten, splice and lay as much as needed to run from the CCR to the lab umbilical and out of the hole in it to the ground outside inside the umbilical, and run the section that goes outside out. Then repair the umbilical walls around the wire.

It takes a while; some extensive scavenging and a hell of a lot of electrical tape and splicing, but you manage to get everything that was damaged wired back up.
[handi:1+1]
You're not really sure where to start on the patching though. You just sort of stand there, metal in one hand, torch in the other, staring blankly.

i hereby declare the barracks medbay open for business.

check the barracks and medbay for any and all rubber sheeting i can find, take it to simus and ask if she can use it to create a temporary airlock between gilgamesh's cockpit and the most intact mini shuttle.

Rubber sheeting is in depressingly low supply. Anything rubber in the garage is now soup; the medbay's supply of rubber seems to be entirely in it's latex gloves supply, and the barracks has fluid resistant plastic on the mattresses but it's shrink wrapped around the damn things and would prove very difficult to remove.

"Huh, that tree is really soft. It might just be possible to cut the sample directly out of the trunk. And then I'm done here. This is exhausting."

Cut a sample for the container right out of the trunk. Whether that works or not, first return back to Lars, then out of the fog.

"I think mission accomplished. We've got the ground, the air, the fluids, and the tree branches. Everything we can actually see without conducting scientific experiments. Time to get out, and take a quick break. As I already said, this is exhausting.

The next anomaly we see is all yours, Lars."

You cut a piece of the tree. When you do so the fog around the tree begins to fade to pink, and then red, darkening and spreading slowly outward. You nod a bit to yourself, wonder if you should tell anyone about this, and then decide to just head back to just outside the foggy zone. Too bad too, you didn't get very far in.

You Get Mike to search around the garage till he finds a ladder. He manages to get it across to you, holding on to the very last rung and swinging it to you, and you use it to get up on the roof of the base. Easy peasy. You follow the roof around to the garage and hop down.

((Yeah, sure I didn't get very far in. I also didn't get lost, didn't get injured, and got a fair number of samples. Speaking of,
I got that tree trunk sample, right?

And who is the "Mike" Flint is using?))

Take a short rest (15 min) and label the samples.
Before doing that, send Zephyris in to the thicker part (but where she can still see us) to observe the effect.

When we finish resting, or after the effect finishes, whichever comes last, head to the sector NorthWest of the fog, and West of the Teleportation Mushrooms, making a detour (if we need it) to the shuttle to resuply, and mapping the fog sector limits in the process. Also, I hate numbers. I like math, but I hate numbers. Numbers for labeling, not numbers used in math.

Run the wire out to the designated array location, leaving the rest inside, then patch around the wire and fill in any remaining holes.

"Well, there's nothing for it. Might as well get to work."

Weld the armoury umbilical door shut and spray paint a bright coloured X across the middle of the door. Then head outside, around to the armoury umbilical and start cutting away large slabs off the walls from the armoury and the umbilical.

reroute all power out of the armory, watch the deconstruction team pull the armory apart and grab any thermal cameras they remove.

"Aw, this shit is fucked up."

Lukas opens a comm to the rest of the team. "Hey, I'm gonna need some help with Anton. He's in a very bad shape and needs medical attention as soon as possible. The problems is that he is in Gilgamesh, which is breached, and Gilgamesh is in the garage, which is also breached. The only way to get him into the medbay is by getting him out of Gilgamesh, thereby exposing him to vacuum, and getting him into the base asap. It's going to be very risky and I can't do it alone. Anyone else up for this?"

[PyroDesu]

You sure the suit can't fit into a habitable area before we get him out?

[Prosperus]

You sure the suit can't fit into a habitable area before we get him out?

"Well, the garage is breached and the door to the CCR is jammed shut, which means that the breach is the only way out of the garage. The only two ways into the base are the entrances to the Medbay and the Lab Umbilicals. Gilgamesh won't fit through either one of them."


((Or so a little bird called Piecewise told me ))

[PyroDesu]

Get him as close to one of the entrances as you possibly can while keeping him in Gilgamesh. Medical, or what's left of it, is where you'll be going. I'll get there and cut a hole in the wall big enough so we can fit the suit inside, as close to the airlock as possible.

...What happened to him, anyways?

Abandon wiring project for now, cut holes in Medbay so that Gilgamesh can be brought in and positioned close to the airlock into the habitable section of the base.

((Actually, PW, could you mark the map of the base what is completely sealed and what we can still get into/out of the habitable zone through? At the moment, it's indistinguishable.))

[Prosperus]

"That sounds like a plan. I'll move him there now. I don't know what exactly happened, to be honest. He simply took a beating from the blast."

Bring Gilgamesh (Anton) close to the entrance to the Medbay and wait for Simus to cut a hole. Then bring Gilgamesh in.
