[Aklyon]

Red hair and blue eyes.

[ComradeGafarov]

RED hair and PURPLE eyes.

[Flying Dice]

Any non-hair/eye preferences differing from 25-white-male?

[Aklyon]

RED hair and PURPLE eyes.

I agree with the purple eyes.

[Flying Dice]

Okay, we'll go with red hair and purple eyes. Locked in. Gender, skin tone, apparent age?

[Angle]

25 year old white male.

[Reudh]

Agreed.

Are we able to change our form at all?
Perhaps via artificial chromatophores.

[Flying Dice]

You access a series of image files. You have the outward appearance of a 25 year old Caucasian male with red hair and purple eyes. Supplimentary notes indicate that changing your physical appearance in any significant way would require access to a MIU upkeep facility, which is not available for the duration of the mission. You do note that you can create more of the substance which composes your 'hair' with minimal resource consumption.

You turn back towards the grove. You see three bipedal figures clustered around the tree you uprooted. They are a rough locational match for the source of the voices. Each is shorter and thinner than you. The atmospheric strike craft, or one identical to it, returns from the east and descends. You lose sight of it as it drops below hills further to the west. It has been 1 minute 38 seconds since the strikecraft initially disappeared from your sight.

What do you do?

[Angle]

examine the figures clothing. examine own clothing, if present.

[Aklyon]

If own clothing not present, examine figures anyway.

[Flying Dice]

You are still wearing the one-piece jumpsuit/coverall. It reaches from the second joi-from your knees at the lower end to the se-your elbows and neck at the upper. It is grey in color, with no markings of any significance.

 Each of the figures appears to wear a similar, smaller garment, though each has accented it with various other articles of clothing. The largest of the three wears a hat with a wide, floppy brim, as well as a sling holster which appears to contain some sort of personal weapon. It-she also wears a knee-length skirt in the same shade as the jumpsuits and boots of some sort. The second wears a loose, unfastened shirt over the coverall; he also has boots, as well as a small pouch attached to a belt. The third, smallest child--

Child? What is a 'chil--

Integration Protocol activated. Unlocking socio-cultural data for Mission Area 34C-S3-NA. Mission Subparameter 1a completed.

Well done, MIU-34C-001!

--child wears a pair of lumpy shoes, along with a belt and attached case for a pair of binoculars.


What do you do?

[Aklyon]

Review Objectives.

[RAM]

Review mission subparameter 1a. Query index and nature of subsequent subparameter.

[Angle]

review socio-cultural data.

[Flying Dice]

You review your mission data.

Mission Objective: Complete Mission Parameters
Mission Parameters:
-1a: Trigger release of sociocultural data with one of the appropriate thought chains.
[REDACTED: LEVEL 3 SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED TO ACCESS BASIC MISSION PARAMETERS]

[PLEASE COMPLETE MISSION PARAMETER 1b TO ACHIEVE LEVEL 3 SECURITY CLEARANCE.]

Mission Parameter 1a, from context, appears to be one of a pair of actions which will unlock information related to core and short-term goals. Given the simplicity of 1a, 1b should not be difficult to determine.

Socio-cultural data for Mission Area 34C-S3-NA:
-Continental Region of North America on Sol III; commonly known and referenced as "Earth", "Terra", "Holy Terra", "Home", as well as other basic linguistic constructs relating to the concept of "home", "ground", "grounding", etc.
-Current Date and Time: 12 June, 137 PL. 11:31 AM Local Time.
-Population of Mission Area 34C-S3-NA estimated at:
Human: 402,083,951
Zartral: [REDACTED: LEVEL 4 SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED]
-Population Distribution:
Majority of Human population resides in large cities near substantial bodies of water, with smaller settlements at natural and constructed trade hubs. Scattered, hidden population in land outside cities and towns. Very little above-ground Human life in region designated as Rocky Mountains, though substantial subsurface populations detected there, as well as smaller gatherings scattered throughout the area roughly described by regions: Rocky Mountains; Hudson Bay; Gulf of Mexico.
Zartral population gathered in city centers, small outposts, and [REDACTED: LEVEL 5 SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED].
-In cities, Humans tend to have few or no social relations outside of those mandated by professional tasks. Genetic connections disregarded entirely; offspring raised in creches. The scattered, isolated populations tend to cluster into family groups of 3-12 individuals with extremely close emotional bonds; in some cases, individuals appear to have basic knowledge of emotional states of other members of group. (Note: Further investigation required under Mission Parameter [REDACTED].) These groupings appear to be unrelated to genetic links, and are likely formed due to [REDACTED: LEVEL 6 SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED].
-In city and town settings, children are regarded as mature upon voluntarily assuming their first job. Those who do not begin work by age 14 are involuntarily terminated for the good of all. In the scattered groupings, children are tasked with whatever they wish to do and are believed capable of; there is no hard definition of adulthood.
-Basic living quarters, nutrient gruel, and water are available to all working residents of cities and towns. Those in the scattered groupings [REDACTED: SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL 3 REQUIRED].

Little information is available at this time; it appears that the most reliable route would be personal investigation combined with an effort to achieve necessary clearance levels.
