"Hehehe, okay, okay, relax girl. I was only messing with you, making a joke. I'm sorry. I'll call you Simus if it means that much to you. Anyway, thanks again for the help. I'll be on my way now..." Flint chuckled a bit and added You guys are so easy to mess with and have a bit of fun.

He entered his exosuit, waited for the armored shell to close around him and for its systems to restart. He unplugged the mining laser's battery from the generator and then secured it on his back, between the two rocket pods. Finally he slung his hastily cobbled together backpack on his back (the various crap he was carrying jiggling together and threatening to escape from its rim) and ventured outside. He exited the garage and began walking towards sector 2, the flatzone with the pretty lights and the silver life. The exosuit was slow even before it got damaged. Now the heavy metal boots he and Simus had crafted were only making it worse. This is going to be a while... he thought. Good thing I have robolegs now. I don't think my old ones would be able to take the abuse. My back is already complaining... It took some effort to get used to walking and keeping his balance with the new weight distribution, but after a while, he settled into a rhythm. One foot in front of the other. He begun whistling and half singing to pass the time, keeping the tempo with the rhythmic heavy thud his feet made as they fell on the ground.
"Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again!"

A smile found its way to his face. I love this exosuit. And I love this planet, even if it tries to kill me from time to time. Kind of like the HMRC, hehehe...

Restock and take my equipment. Go to the edge of sector 2's flatzone. Use mining laser, monorazor and robostrength to dig a hole on the normalground side of the border between normalground and flatground. Try to reach as deep as I can without reaching ridiculous depths to see how far below the flatground extends. Take a sample of flatground with my monorazor, preferably a large chunk.

((Also, Vich is completely frozen in place. As in, you can't move your arms, either to type on your wristpad or to show what you typed to the others there.))

((Not sure I'm getting that. I know Piecewise said that I'm frozen in place, but why would that really be?

As far as I remember, the exoskeleton isn't really connected to the exosuit, so it shouldn't really have frozen in place. But even if it were, I question it having the capacity to freeze in place. Milno added the function to his, it wasn't built in. Also, it is only one third of an exoskeleton, so perchaps it can still be moved (like a bicycle on brakes).))

((Perhaps because it's lost power and/or control? I'd love to see someone who could brute force presumably powerful hydraulics. Especially if what they're doing involves fine motor control. I'd think it'd be a (heavily biased against) strength check just to get your arm up, much less to type.))

((Still doesn't explain why it would be connected to the suit. I bought them separately after all.

About strength checks, I don't really know. Neither does Vich. So unless Piecewise clarifies it before posting, I'm just going to keep the action that he would immediately attempt to do in the situation. Especially since it doesn't really change that much what happens anyway.))

((Which choice has the lowest chance of crashing?))

((Mesk is safer, but it'd require you to actually get him to help you. And that would mean asking Remalle himself, not Piecewise, and can take a while.))

((In case my aux roll this turn fails, just assume this message reaches you whenever it does.

'Okay people, it's time to resume what we were send here for in the first place, and map this rock.

First up is team blue, which is Vichislav, Denzel, Lars and Zephyris. You'll be continuing as you are, and explore sectors 32, 13, 14, 15, 27, 42 and all the sectors below those. Normally, Lars would be in command of this group, but since he's a bit... injured right now, Vich will be squad leader for the time being. You think you're up for that?

Next is team red, consisting of Flint, Morul, Michael and Simus, who will be squad leader. I would've lead this team myself and let Simus continue her good work here, but with my arm like this I can't pilot Gilgamesh, and without him I'm more like dead weight anyway. You will map sectors 12 and 26, and all the ones above that.

Remember guys, your job is to explore and map out, the in-depth experimentation can wait untill we've 'filled the map' so to speak.

I'd like you all to get moving in about [3 real-life days], so finish what you were doing and get prepared.

Last is team Yellow, which is everyone who didn't get named before. You guys continue repairs, heal up or assorted stuff.'

((You're killing me. Can I not have to look up a random sequence of numbers?

Can you post a map image instead? Please. Or just describe it.))

((If you look at the map it essentially means you get the whole lower bottom of the map, everything on and below the 'line' (all the sectors horizontally next to it) of your current sector.))

[PyroDesu]

Miyamoto, I feel that I am of much more use here at base, there's still a lot of work to be done. I suggest sending Lukas along with Red team as their leader instead of me.

[Parisbre56]

"Boss, I don't think we need that many people to help with repairs. Maybe just leave the mechanics and the usefu- I mean irreplaceable people back at base?"

((Working on updating the notes with the new team members and creating a map of with our assigned areas highlighted.))

((EDIT1:Here's the map:))

((Jeez, we're up to three posts' worth of notes already?))

((Still doesn't explain why it would be connected to the suit. I bought them separately after all.))

((Think of it this way. It augments your strength, allowing you to handle heavy weights with your own arms. Try figuring out a way it can do this without being securely attached to your body.))

"Ugh. I feel like I'm missing a lot of good repairs going on. And like I'm missing a leg. Let's do somethng about it."

Take a good look at the leg prosthetics again, and figure out how to make a working full right leg out of a left leg and the lower part of a right one. Again.

[Unholy_Pariah]

An adherence
to modular design means that the legs and
arms are actually interchangeable. This is not
recommended mandatory.

((Robo-arms are basically synth-arm mk1's right?))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Anton didn't get to synthflesh studies in his Tinker tests. He only focused on equipment he could understand - that is, non-Exotic. So he'll have to figure out if these things are interchangeable enough himself.))

Help Bishop finish fixing the door, if we're still doing that.

((Physically attacked, and having sojoined electronics are different things. And since I can wear an exoskeleton without being in a suit, I don't see why they would be sojoined. It serves no practical purpose except to shut down if something goes wrong with the suit.))
