Check the analyzer-glob to see if it's still reacting then leave it with the rest of the samples. Then, unless ordered otherwise, make my way to sector 23. Start rock throwing once I enter unknown territory.
The sample is still active, but doesn't seem to be escalating or anything. You set it down with the other samples but decide against going out exploring. Mainly because Miyamoto said to quit it.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!.... err.. i mean, hey miyamoto did you want to finally dig up that radiation shard and stick it in a container before our pickup arrives?
Speaking of which, is mesks bucket still intact or are we all hitching a ride in the vault?
check how much plastic sheeting is still in the barracks, if theres enough to cover a small goo glob carry it outside along with a length of electrical cabling.
You tear the plastic sheeting out of under a few beds and use the electrical cable from the tv to tie it shut. Not sure what goo you're talking about though. We've got several kinds 'round here.
"Uh, guys? We gonna follow that worm, or just say fuck it and run?"
Begin a thorough search for ammo, or things that could be used as ammo when the shit hits the crap encrusted fan.
Ammo is basically whatever people have on them right now. And as per throwing ammo...well, there are lots of rocks.
"Uh, guys? No air in the base. At all. Might wanna fix that helmet so Lars doesn't suffocate."
See if any rooms could be made airtight easily, and ponder how to fix them quickly.
((You gave him your helmet, didn't you? He's fine.
By the way, I'd RP Vich seeing the base, and his reactions to seeing it, but I've decided not to do it because I already have a significant wall of text. It's one thing when you just have a short action, and you add RP, but adding a wall of text to a wall of text just doesn't seem fair.))
"I just want to remind everyone that there is still a storm advancing on us. I don't know how long it will take to reach us, if it will ever, but if it does, anything we left out on the planes will be immediately swept away. And I don't know if even the standing buildings will be enough to shield our supplies. It may be in our best interest to leave groups of supplies up North at least, not here.
As for the radiation shard, I assume we will pick it up when Steve actually arrives. I assume he will give us a little time to gather samples, especially for capturing the creatures living in the Iron Sea and the Beetles, since they don't exactly survive long without their natural habitat.
And finally, Simus. I know you just said that we shouldn't be wandering off right now, because we don't have the capacity to deal with the casualties. But really, I think you're being overprotective. Those of us in robotic bodies can still explore this place just fine, they don't exactly need the replacement limbs. And then humans can act as a support. And additionally, spreading out will actually be beneficial to us, warning us to the dangers. Remember that Alvin and his sensors are gone, we will now be caught unawares if something once again happens.
I believe we should continue exploring this place, simply being more careful than before. Or perhaps simply start researching the already uncovered territories, something we've long neglected. But in either case, spreading out, keeping watch for different anomalies approaching us is a must. At the very least, keep a watch out for that Storm, and for any more radioactive shards flying out of the radioactive anomaly."
To Denzel: "Regarding scattering the supplies, I'm thinking of takong the MPV, and circling the Purple Lake, leaving piles of supplies along the way. By the time we reach unexplored areas, we should be empty, and then we could continue exploring, around the lake and so on. Still need to deal with the "nobody leaves" order, but are you with me?"
What about the third drone I have sent South-East to map out the rest of the Storm?
What about the third drone I have sent South-East to map out the rest of the Storm?
Also keep track of the Storm's advancement using the first drone I left.
Do we still have the MPV with the trailer left? I remember it was not brought inside the base.
Assume the storm is advancing at one hex per turn.
The MPV is outside the base, as is the trailer of parts.
Lars bows his head. "By the grace of the pantheon, we have survived. All praise be, for the gods have seen fit that we shall serve another day."
Praise the gods. Assist with any supply management.
You do a pious little dance and look for someone to help.
((Duuuuuude... The base just got mostly eaten by a dune style giant worm because Lars was using the hyper-powerful transmitter to preach over the airwaves, which got it's attention.))
"Shut up Lars. I'm not in the mood to put up with your religious crap right now."
Reseal the broken helmet and make a air hose to connect between Lars and whoever has the broken helmet so they can both breathe without having to swap helmets. See if I can scrounge up enough stuff to make a transmitter to signal the pickup ship.
Helmet situation got fixed amongst the mess that just happened. Lars got His helmet back, Morul got Miyamoto's and Miyamoto is in Gilgamesh, so he's fine. As per parts to make a transmitter...well maybe if you start aggressively deconstructing either the base or the shuttle parts you brought back.
((Finally able to get back here... sorry for the absence education and whatnot))
Wake up from coma/nap of undefined length where appropriate and examine surroundings
You appear to be about a mile out from base. The base appears to have been eaten. Everything appears to be fucked.
"I'm with Simus on this one for the most part, Vich. I say that we move some supplies into what's left of base, and only explore a little bit. That said, though, Simus, I think that two of us should try to explore a bit more territory before pickup- being careful, of course."
Drop off all supplies (except for enough nuti-packs for me until pick-up) in the three base buildings- spread out among them- and find the MPV. If we have approval, head up to white domes area, rock-throwing away.
You deposit the supplies amongst the three buildings and then go and sit on the MPV. You don't leave on it though; not yet. Gonna wait for Miyamoto's go ahead for that.
"On the topic of exploration, if you allow me to chime in, I think we should probably keep in mind that our coordinated repository of mapping data was just whisked away by a giant underground tentacle monster. Unless we want to get picked up and debriefed on the Sword, only to find out we didn't actually bring any data back, I suggest that we try to find out how much of data - any data - we still have left.
...I even lost my datapad, with the last of the previous team's footage.
We should see what we have left, what we can still do, and if that does not amount to much, I suggest we at least try to make it back to the ship in as few pieces as possible."
Go back to the remaining base buildings, and find self a new datapad, if one exists somewhere. Try to figure out what kind of research data we still have, and what we may feasibly do to make up for what we've lost.
You search the barracks until you find someone's datapad. You're not sure whose, but it appears to have a version of the planetoid map. The last updated version, it seems. Well, better then nothing.
Lukas stares at the destroyed base for a while and sighs. "Well, that's it for this mission guys. This place sucks balls, and we really haven't learned anything about it. Screw these anomaly planets. Let's just never go there again."
Assist with any recovery work or shelter construction.
You stick your arms out and wait to be used as a forklift.
