Continue with the group, make sure nothing bad happens.
"I'm fine, that's what you're here for, right?"

[Doomblade187]

((Sigh- RNG... I assumed the rover was already out of the crate. Ah well.))

VERY CAREFULLY, Jim opens the door to the crate and inspects the contents.

"Be careful guys- it's easy to slip."

Name: Jim Martin (Doomblade 187)
Description: Standing at a respectable 6'1", George is a strongly-built man with brown hair and green eyes. He used to work for the Mykian Conglomorate as a military engineer, but after ten years of work building trenches, bases, and more for the army, he decided he wasn't getting paid enough for the back-breaking work he was doing while under enemy fire, and most of the time completely unarmed, and deigned not to re-enlist. Instead, he wandered the moons of Brim taking odd jobs as an independent miner before settling on the idea of joining the Migration. It seemed like a good idea at the time….

[Parsely]

Seat's Jim carefully in the rover then climbs into it myself and power it up checking the systems and keeps an eye out for any signs of life

You would put Jim on top of the rover but it is still inside the cargo unit. You scratch your head, staring at the door on the side of it. There is a control panel alongside the door.

Continue with the group, make sure nothing bad happens.
"I'm fine, that's what you're here for, right?"

You walk with the group as they approach and fiddle with the cargo unit.

((Sigh- RNG... I assumed the rover was already out of the crate. Ah well.))

VERY CAREFULLY, Jim opens the door to the crate and inspects the contents.

"Be careful guys- it's easy to slip."

After experimenting with the control panel for a bit, manage to open the crate. The large door whirs and explodes outward, its all you and the others can do to get out of the way in time.

Why do they always DO that?

You peer inside. There is a large rover with a few boxes on top that. There appears to be a control panel near the front.

[Mr.FancyPants]

Climbs into rover and checks on Jim's vitals.
We should probably radio to the others telling them we got the rover.

[exolyx]

turn on my radio "Well, I've found a pretty flat area of ground, but it has some liquidy stuff nearby it, might want to check that out. i also appear to have found the only rock in this entire field, and lastly some smoke on the horizon. Possibly volcano? What do you guys think?"

[Doomblade187]

Jim carefully clears the boxes away from the rover, taking a seat in it if it's a sealed vehicle. ((Yes, instead of Mr. Fancypants- I need the pressurized environment.))

"I'm fine, I just need to be careful. Everybody, we almost have the rover. As for the site, I'm not sure- check around a bit to make sure it's safe."

Make sure all the equipment is loaded onto the rover then walks back outside to look around for anything interesting while i wait for them to get the rover moving

Climbs into rover and checks on Jim's vitals.
We should probably radio to the others telling them we got the rover.

You mount the rover and ask Jim if he's okay. He doesn't reply, instead pointing at the crack on his visor while looking up at you.
Oh dear.

turn on my radio "Well, I've found a pretty flat area of ground, but it has some liquidy stuff nearby it, might want to check that out. i also appear to have found the only rock in this entire field, and lastly some smoke on the horizon. Possibly volcano? What do you guys think?"

You relay your findings to the rest of the team, being sure to include as much detail as possible.

"I'm fine, I just need to be careful. Everybody, we almost have the rover. As for the site, I'm not sure- check around a bit to make sure it's safe."

You mount the rover are about to remove the boxes from the top of it when you realise they are screwed on. You read the stencilled lettering on the tops of the two crates closest to you. They say 'SOLR ARRY', and 'LVNG QRTS'.

You jump on top of the rover along with Jim, as he struggles to lift the crates.
We should probably leave those there.

Hopping down off the rover, you walk around to the other side of the cargo unit and check out the lava pool. The surface is calm, and the pool appears to be set into bedrock. It probably feeds down into what used to be an underground reservoir of water. You're not sure how lava got there. The pool is much too large for it to be a buried volcano, and you're pretty sure it won't erupt anytime soon.

[exolyx]

Inspect the water more closely, clutch that sheet of metal I ripped off like a shield, holding the wires (If need be).

[mesor]

Walks back into the container Boot it up and lets get going guys we need to get to the others and get that crack fixed.

[Doomblade187]

Jim settles into the rover and figures out the control panel. Then, he carefully drives over to the others. ((So, is the rover pressurized?))

"Let's go. We can set up the living quarters and fix the crack once we're there."

Inspect the water more closely, clutch that sheet of metal I ripped off like a shield, holding the wires (If need be).

You approach the 'water' slowly, peering over the edge of your makeshift bulwark. You look closely at the smooth ground, but turn away quickly as the bright sunlight flashes into your eyes. You instead use your shield as an umbrella and block block the light. You look even closer, practically pressing your faceplate up against the ground now. It seems to be some sort of frozen liquid. You think it was recently unearthed, as the smooth surface is beginning to become uneven as the object melts in the morning haze. Its clear and looks an awful lot like water. You lick your lips in anticipation.

Walks back into the container Boot it up and lets get going guys we need to get to the others and get that crack fixed.

As you turn towards the container, you notice the surface of the lava bulge upwards. The bulge is small, and close to the 'shore' of the pool.

Jim settles into the rover and figures out the control panel. Then, he carefully drives over to the others. ((So, is the rover pressurized?))

"Let's go. We can set up the living quarters and fix the crack once we're there."

You hop onto the front edge of the rover and study the control panel [6].

Seems simple enough.

You open the throttle and start forward slowly, easing the rover gently out of the container. The rover is now out of the container at a stop. You look over your shoulder at the others and tell them to get a move on.

((The rover looks like a rover))

Spoiler: EVERYONE READ THIS PLEASE (click to show/hide)

 Except its about the length and width of an armoured personnel carrier. It has hydraulic shocks and lowers itself to waist height when you're loading it, and is about six feet tall when you're driving. Its not meant to be ridden but it can handle all seven of you without any problems. Pretend the solar panel is instead a rubber deck that you can stack things on top of. The control panel is located on the forward left edge of the 'deck'. You can program it to go places without your constant input, and you can also program it to perform and repeat actions daily. Power is a non-issue. It can operate indefinitely, and you don't need to leave it outside in the daytime either since it isn't solar. You can buy more/different rovers from the MRU.


Thanks for reminding me to tell you what it looks like. I almost forgot.

[exolyx]

Hmm, recently unearthed and just starting to melt.... back away carefully, holding up the makeshift shield. There may be a creature underground, head back to the group. Caution is key. Also, he radios this, "I might have found signs of life, I'm coming back, as I'm not really equipped to fight if need be." Get to the closest group.

[Doomblade187]

Jim drives the rover a bit farther away from the lava (towards the other group) and then takes a look around once more.

"Everybody come over to the rover- we can regroup, and it's far enough away from that area." Jim said as he peered over to where the group was.

Draw my pistol and cock it and turn safety off then click my radio "Perrin i got movement out here Jay get us moving
climb onto the back of the rover and use the straps holding the crates in place to secure myself and keep watching the lava
