((According to GUNIN, the grav-pods are one-use to keep things cheap.))

((According to GUNIN, the grav-pods are one-use to keep things cheap.))

Correct. Anti-gravity boots would likely result in hilarity anyhow. Action posts in a bit.

[exolyx]

((Well, then I suppose I shall try to buy a rope, because RTD GMs are cruel, cruel bastards.))

[Serious Business]

((How about a jetpack?  Completely unnecessary and incredibly dangerous, the DWARVEN way!  Although we aren't dwarves, but space colonists so nevermind.))

Jim checks the MRU for the price of several hundred feet of rope.

"Well, we should probably check to see how much rope costs, though if the size of the beast was any indication, it's a LONG way down."

Calling the master of your fate a bastard isn't going to get you very far.

Vincent rushes to the MRU to check the price of an X-ray scanner or something of the like to help him find more Ignis

Clarification: Are you asking for an X-Ray machine to use on specimens and your allies, or one that lets you see underground?

Check the price of materials to build a device to bring in new migrants.
We need to bring in more people guys, especially with That thing about.

Originally I was planning to have a delivery system, but now I'm just going to drop waves whenever you need more Migrants. You can get a Beacon for 200 credits so that the pods are more accurate and the newcomers don't have to waste half a day walking.

You tap a button on the small crate. You can see creases forming on the top of it just before it flips open and a large electronic suite is lain before you. Thin, spindly legs poke out of the bottom and raise the MRU until the touch-board is at chest height.

After hitting a few keys a price comes up.

MRU: Rope - Carbon Fiber [5Cs/foot], Steel Weave [10cs/foot], MYSTERY ROPE [1Cs/foot] WHAT A STEAL!!!….

((The one that let's me see underground, maybe an ultrasound machine but we're in the future so I dunno.))

You mean sonar? Yeah you can't get a portable X-Ray machine that can scan underground, and sonar would only work if you were in a tunnel, underwater, or in the jungle (short-range, overland only).

[Joben]

((I submit that finding Ignis might not be very hard. Damien found one and he wasn't even looking.))

[Parsely]

The light is beginning to wane and the sky is turning a light red. It is now late afternoon.

[Serious Business]

((Yeah, we could find another the way Damien found one, but I'd rather have all my limbs intact.))

Vincent buys a camera, some flares, a bit of rope and a bigger gun.  Then he prepares for an expedition into the cave with the others.

What cave? Theres a pit..no cave though….

MRU: Digital Camera [150Cs/1 Camera]….

Bigger Gun --- Please Elaborate….

You're all starving and thirsty as hell from all the hard work you've been doing for the past two days. You each pause for a moment to feed a few small capsules into your injection ports. -2 Food [all], -2 Water [all].

Everyone individually inserts their credits into the MRU.
MRU: Manual Deposit….
Processing….
New Balance: 500 Credits….

You can remove your Creds from your post inventories now. An updated balance will be in the OOC Thread from now on. New Migrants will have to deposit the Credits they bring with them manually before they become a part of the pool.

Don't forget that you can sell water. You should probably be figuring out how to take advantage of that ice deposit.

[Serious Business]

((Do you guys mind if I buy the camera and a rifle of some description?))

[exolyx]

((Why a camera? I understand the rifle, but the camera doesn't seem like we need it at the time, especially for the price it has.))

[Serious Business]

((So we can better document the stuff we find, like the Abomination.  Also how much food do we have left?  All it says in my inventory is 3 days worth.))

Vincent asks for an assault rifle.
