You order the Digging Drone and the other Drones to prepare a Waste Processing section next to the Synthetic Synthesizer as you break through to the Hive. You can almost hear the sudden warmth affecting the plants, and consider that while freeze-tolerance is admirable, surviving the cold under shelter with some heating is a good start. While the Drones dig, You and the Repair Drone begin work on a Biorecycler. It takes the rest of the night to properly integrate the Bioreycler with the Synthetic Synthesizer, but are rewarded in Your efforts by the machine producing two units of Standard-Quality Synthetic Food. Coupled with the six Units of Food gathered from the non-pollinated Flowers, We have, at least temporarily, solved the food problem. We consume all of the food. You anticipate that the Synthetic Synthesizer will resume its former capacity while retaining quality for the night's reprocessed food.

It has been one week since We arrived on our planet. You believe it is time to give this planet a Name before continuing the endless labor.

I think we should try to repair that mechanical scout of the humans, and sent that to the Automated botanical thingy. Also, we might want to create heating systems for drones/ warriors so they can work and attack at night.

[Ross Vernal]

You suspect that the Bipeds would be able to sense the presence of heat sources aboveground. It may be more prudent to make suits to adapt to the cold instead.

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

I vote for the suits.

As usual, there are many options. These are only suggestions. Any ideas that are devised - (hopefully with some relevant links so I can study it in brief and look around. Did you know that glassy water exists? )

[Heavy Weapons Pony]

Reverse Engineer the Scout Drone, then Devise a way to make a Thermal Suit for the Drones.
When the Drone Suit is done, make one explore as far down the Magma Tube as possible.


I Decree that this planet will be called Advent - named after our incredible Mind Power.

Meanwhile, we should explore the magma tube, and the nonintelligent dronesshould continue digging down, looking for ore deposits.

Perhaps repurpose a computer for manufacturing and assembling.

Let's try more constanants. We are called the Kai, after all. We should name our planet...Kar'soom (the ' is a pause), after the name for earth in the John Carter thing.

That's weird, because I just watched John Carter. If I remember yesterday correctly, earth is Jasoom, mars is Barsoom.

[Criptfeind]

Since this is going to be the new home planet, lets call it Kai. Home planets should have a name that means something, but not something stupid like earth.

Whatever. There's a Karsoom in there somewhere, maybe Saturn?

We should knit warm mittens for our extremities, the poor things have been getting so cold.

Investigate! Investigate! Investigate!

We should try to refine our sensors to better monitor the bipeds.

Tube is 310 (1017 feet) meters wide and 180 meters (590 feet) deep. The other tube nearby is 180 meters and (this is just based on guesswork, not actual figures) about 104 meters deep.

Automated botany is efficient, highly controlled botany. The Flowers do not care how They are fed, and it is not as though We will suddenly cease our relationship because We can do with machines better than what We can do by pseudo-hand.

Also, We have three classifications - Us for the Kai, Them for the Flowers, and Strangers for everyone else. (What the Bipeds call "bugfixing" we call "strangerfixing.")

Post'll come by soon. Company is coming and housecleaning must be done for a while. ^.^
