((Triple sarcasm, however, makes everything not unlike a sarcastic mudfight where the spectators are also sarcastic. And that is confusing.))

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Alex Shater
22
Medic
Alex Shater is just pretty much your ordinary 22 year old, but brilliant. He was an extremely intelligent and kind child, but was bullied heavily. After early gradutation from high school at 15, he went to medical school for several years.
Tall and really skinny
Alex likes medicine, steel, helping people, reading, and experimenting with things. He absolutely detest bullies.

First Round of Biosphere: The new beginning

"You stumble out of the escape pod, coughing a slight bit, then more violently as your lungs grow accustomed to the rich air of the forest. While you were not watching, the escape pod floated away, yet the hole it drilled in was now covered by an energy shield, and the glass slowly reforming. You look to what you held on to as you clambered from the shuttle. You are holding..."

Carl Anderson - AI chip from the ship computer, small AI holo-projector
Irene Yumira - Wrench
Cromwell Jackson - Radio (Full battery)
Jacob Hill - "Field guide to herbs and plants"
Gilbert Dorian - Comfy chair (You ripped it out of the escape pod, you natural thief!)
Hans Weissaugen - Radio (Full battery)
John Westings - Radio (Full battery)
Urist McMason - Radio (Full battery)
Alex Shater - Small medical kit (Contents - Small, sterile knife, multiple knifes, 10 sterile bandages, 1 roll of gauze, 2 tubes of antibiotic cream, scissors, doctor's mask)

AI chip + Holo-projector allows you to use an AI to speak to. The AI is effectively me, and I can give you suggestions of what to do next, or, if you input me into the computer system of a structure you build, I can perform several processes instantly that would usually take a roll to do as you enter the room.

Radios allow you to speak with any person who has the radio on- the cost of having the radio on is a small amount each turn, but if you do not hear it, you must pretend that you never know what they are saying. This allows carpenters to tell lumberjacks "I need 10 wood to finish this table" or masons to miners "I need a bit of marble to make these walls fancy"

POST YOUR ACTIONS IN BOLD. What do you do first?

((Question: Can I make non-complex machines since I'm a mechanic, or does even that still require Engineering?))
Irene barely manages to recover herself from the coughing fit and steadies herself using the telescopic wrench-cane hybrid of hers. She takes a look around and admires the scenery for a little bit, before  walking over to see who else has traveled with her.
"Hello? Anyone... anyone out h-here?"

Find others.

((1. Does the AI holo-projector have practically limited battery life?
2. Does said holo-projector have communication capabilities other than voice and USB? How about sensors or other capabilities?
3. Did we all come out in one place?
4. Why do Jacob Hill and Gilbert Dorian have people in their inventories?
5. How much chatter/time can we expect radios to work for?))
