Remember that they were attacked by former brethren still owned by umicorp.

I think it's the other way around. Umicorp didn't free their clones because they ditched this planet, but they ditched this planet because of a clone revolution.

[Tomcost]

So, we are helping possibly insane clones. Damn.

I feel so lucky that we chose robots. So much easier, they can be made en masse, don't need fancy food, we can turn them off, can recycle them, ahh, there is nothing better than uncoordinated AI at your service.

[forsaken1111]

Eh, then plant a beacon so we can find it later and pointedly exaggerate the damage or don't mention the wreck at all.

[10ebbor10]

The thing is sending out an emergency beacon.

[forsaken1111]

The thing is sending out an emergency beacon.

Yeah you wanna kill that and plant your own, on a frequency you monitor.

[10ebbor10]

Yup, but I'm not sure we can do that with the clones watching.

[forsaken1111]

Yup, but I'm not sure we can do that with the clones watching.

Easy, tell them you're doing it because you don't want anyone else coming to rummage through their ship.

Then rummage through the ship while they're at the base and say it was someone else.

[GiglameshDespair]

And then people who aren't thick as bricks can put two and two together. And say 'hang on, you nicked our stuff. Give it back.'.
Whereupon we can deny knowledge of it and be suspected of underhanded theivery or we can be honest and say, 'yeah, we nicked it' whereupon they dislike us for underhanded theivery.

We want to make allies, not enemies.
-1 to forsaken1111's idea.

[Aseaheru]

Just say that you will haul them back to our camp and they can do whatever needed there and have them grab what they can.
Also offer to help them move things.

[Tomcost]

Whatever you decide to do, guys, just make everybody carry back something. You know, we invested 5 turns in going there, at least those scavengers could be edible, or can be useful to understand the ecology.

[Aseaheru]

Good point. And we may want to bring back the clone for burial or whatever.

[Tomcost]

So, everybody should bring back, at least (and in order of priority):

-A clone corpse.
-Any valuable supplies susceptible to be easily stolen (it doesn't matter if we will keep them or not, if we give them back we will be at better terms with whatever company they belong to).
-A scavenger corpse.
-Any other sample.

[GiglameshDespair]

Nah, the clone corpse is not important. It's a clone. They literally grow in tanks for cheap.

Take the gun as a priority, take a scavenger corpse.
Any other valuble supplies. Even if we give them back, it'll make us seem helpful.

Actually, why don't we ask the clones if they mind if we salvage some of these things, and if they want the clone corpse to be taken back with us?

[Travisplo]

I wonder... what would happen if we had drillhugbot hug a path through the forest to the ship?
Let say "Yes, we have an operational comms unit, but it is at least 3 st (single turns)away, so if the message isn't confidential, I will relay it back to your associates. If it is confidential, then I shall have the robots escort you back."

[Chiefwaffles]

As a side note, I propose that the Drill bot be renamed the Hug bot (or HugBot, Hug-bot, etc).
