-snip-.

Something that makes waste products directly into food would probably be pretty difficult, especially if using some sort of algae or fungus or something as an intermediate step was easier.

What I meant was that it turned, say, moss I found on the floor along with some water and this bread crust into what amounts to a granola bar, but better. Though that's oversimplifying it, of course.

So...basically it assembles semi-edible scraps into a semi-tasty bar?

What year is it?

Let's say...2317.

Let's see if I can assemble a turn and add all the stuff.

Officer Bradley backs up until she can see, then marks the apparent dividing line with her Marking Spray. Thankfully, it seems to be temporary, although a slight ringing of the ears persisted for several seconds after leaving the anomaly.

Dr. Kamanashi frowned. "No one fire laser," he instructed, thanking whatever divine beings may or may not exist that Clair hadn't crisped them all a couple minutes ago. He glanced towards the cart and added, "Tomoko, what drilling or sampling equipment do we have?" Several centiseconds later, the AI replied with "Two mini-lasers, one pickaxe, and two shovels comprise the equipment that is intended for drilling. There are a wide variety of sampling devices in the RLM7. Is this what you wanted to know?" "That is sufficient. Tomoko, please help me record this first anomaly. Name: Onjō." The doctor records the boundaries and marks them with some of his own Marking Spray.

Doc hustles over to Bradley, checking her over. As far as he can tell, she is not suffering from any physiological ailments, except for a documented slight increase in blood pressure presumed to be when she entered the anomaly. Peculiar. Perhaps the anomaly is neurological in nature? If not, it's definitely something you cannot detect.

(I'm a bit fuzzy on what escaped lurker is trying to do, but I'll see if I'm accurate.) Dr. Zwerkov asked his AI to check the local gravity. "About 0.67 G, consistent with anomalously high gravitational acceleration noted on surface within 10%." The doctor then grabbed a mini-laser and went for a glowing patch of wall, collecting samples, before deploying the RoboLab and putting in the sample.

Khan relaxes.

Rolepgeek

Gender: Male
Profession: Research Scientist
Position: Technical Officer
Bio: Kamanashi was born to an upper-middle class family living in Tokyo. They had high expectations for him, and he fulfilled all of them and more. By the time he was in the sixth grade, he'd constructed a scale model of a new rocket design. Next was a bio-engineered tree before he was a sophomore in high school. A true prodigy, he didn't get a 'real' job for a long time. Rather, he stayed in college for 14 years, learning everything he could. This was funded by the occasional spree of inventions and writing of books. To Kamanashi, learning and knowledge is the only purpose for human life, and he pursues those goals with a passion. When he was 44, the government approached him about some strange occurences they'd found, asking him to help with the technical aspect. Only too happy to oblige, having grown bored with most research he could do on the planet's surface, he went up into space for the first time.

Bio: Dan led a very normal life. Got good grades in school, stayed out of trouble, and was well on his way to Med school. After just 4 years he had done more work than those in their final year. He was hired for this fact after graduating in his fifth year, being a fully certified surgeon in half the time most would. He was hired almost right after he left the grounds to provide medical aid to those needing it during the expedition. He was given some basic weapons training as a just in-case. Along with this, he has a carefree nature and likes to play computer games in his spare time. He doesn't hesitate to crack a joke when someones hurt, no matter how bad the injury or joke, to help lighten the mood.

Gender: Male
Profession: Astronautical Engineer
Position: Dedicated Engineer
Bio: Yevgeniy comes from a rather humble background and achieved most of his higher schooling by schoolarship. Still, after completing his studies he was burdened with debt and drafted into mandatory service. With good results in basic training and a sleugh of apptitude tests later he was scouted as candidate for the (quite good paying - his reason d' entré) space program and - long story short - by commiting for 10 years he got in. Most of these and the years after he has spent in space. After surviving the occasional particle-collision, freak solar-flares nebst other mishaps and having participated in his share of emergency missions, "Yev" is one of the most experienced personel "up there". When he got the offer for the current mission, the pay seemed good enough - even after he got to know the specifics by commiting. His main objective in the mission is to ensure the functionality of the technical equipment and setting up the base.

Walk west, marking the other edge of the love field and walk no further then where I can still see the transport.

To check, you mean that you want to head through the other passage out, and mark the boundary of the anomaly over there?

Yes, with walking further if I can see the transport till it would go out of view, please.

[Rolepgeek]

Khamanashi observes Claire and Doc for a moment. "O-isha-san((japanese word for doctor, meant for that to be what I said the first time)), what has happened to Clay-ir-san? Another anomaly?" Once answered, he stood for a second. Then walked carefully over to the boundary, and stepped over. After stepping back out once he was blinded, he walked the width of the tunnel, swerving back and forth, then marking the boundary off. "We may have to deploy one of the Eye kōgu." Next, he returned to the cart, and rummaged through it for a bit, before finding what he was looking for. The northern tunnel((I'm assuming there's a magnetic field, if there's that much gravity, as well as atmosphere, though having that much gravity means the asteroid doesn't need to be sealed, and that the suits have built in compasses of some sort.)) seemed like it would be a good site for their base. But what if there was an anomaly there too? Grabbing a dart pistol, and loading it with some of the empty darts, before heading carefully north. Whilst walking that way, he spoke to Khan. "Jair-edi-kun, would you please begin setting up some portion of the base, or accompany Cay-ir-san?"

((Under flora, what do we have 'some' of?))

((Oh, thought of another thing we should have. A diagnostics/medical bot of some sort; Doc's a surgeon, after all, not a nurse.))

[escaped lurker]

"That high? Well could've sworn it was supposed to be lower - nevermind then. I want the data on density and anything special that these rocks are made off after the lab finishes the diagnosis."

After wrinkling his brows in thought for a moment, he goes off to gather some more samples - seemingly trying to catalouge the geology.


Do all actions necessary for the lab to run some basic tests, then gather any percievable different kind of "rock" in the vicinity for further testing - if plentifull stick with the 5 most common ones.

(( I was trying to get a scan of the area, lest we build the port over a cave-in prone part of the caves, or with too low density to support it -that kinda thing. My bad, after re-reading it is quite open to interpretation. But yeah, testing that glow-stuff seems fine, lest it destabilizes the walls - cave-ins can also come from the side. Also, Боб is just Bob in Kyrillic [Slavo-Russian Alphabet] - Yev ain't a native english speaker afterall [So any mistakes on my part are just his character - genius] ;3))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Under flora, what do we have 'some' of?))

We have some of mosses and other stuff I started, then forgot about. Will be fixed next update.

((Oh, thought of another thing we should have. A diagnostics/medical bot of some sort; Doc's a surgeon, after all, not a nurse.))

True. Added.

Ah.

[RangerCado]

Explain what the chamber does to Khan. Set up a small, temporary medical station since these guys and gals seem to be all about the danger.

[Rolepgeek]

((Oh yeah, we should have a lot of 'Portable things to hold samples in.  Vials, baggies, etc.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

Explain what the chamber does to Khan.

Which chamber?

((Oh yeah, we should have a lot of 'Portable things to hold samples in.  Vials, baggies, etc.))

Alright, but I'm not keeping track of those. Just assume you have a bunch.
