"Indeed! Now let's stock up on last-minute necessities."

Pool the money of the crew together and check up on prices for replication and organic synthesis devices if we don't have those as well as general diagnostic equipment and tools for chemical analysis, and basic chemical components when bought in bulk.

Furthermore, check out what kinds of sentient life dwell on GH-325 and GI-254, what their level of technological development is and whether efforts have been made to civilize them yet.

You gather all of the crew's money together (Some of them give you dirty looks as you take away their hard earned cash, but it must be done), and you check on the prices for medical equipment, when one crewmember who was studying the map sees what you're looking at and informs you that the ship appears to come fully stocked with medical equipment. Satisfied, you see what organisms live on the two habitable planets. One is a group of humanoid hairy ape-like creatures that have made numerous communications with human-kind before, and have quickly advanced to the same technology as humanity. The other one is being guarded in space by satellites cleverly disguised like small moons, and the organisms have made no communications with creatures not of their planet. The satellites are set in defensive positions to stop this from happening, but you could probably stealth past them relatively easy. You sit back and think a moment, while the crew starts looking a bit restless. The one who bought the mining laser and claw suddenly becomes very excited about exploring space.

Can we get a crew manifest, listing positions and crewpersons/players filling said positions? And then, you know, fly into space (preferably with the crew receiving their funds back (I spent nothing, I want my 1k)).

Check if we have a way to ensure a food and water supply for an indefinite length of time. If not, look into possibilities of obtaining such a thing. If available and we don't have one, get a replicator of some kind.

Afterward, de-pool money (making sure to return the money to the appropriate individuals)! Then set off for the Forbidden Planet (the one with the satellites).

Do you want to collect cargo to give to them in exchange for ripping them off? Or are you just going to intimidate them into giving you all of their stuff.

Plot a course to the least insta-deathy bit of the "Forbidden Planet"'s insta-deathy satellite ring. Also support the name Sacrilege

Indeed, I do this.

((Well, if they have satellites, they probably have technologies roughly as good as ours already. No need for extra cargo!))

The satellites were not put there by them- they were put there by humanity to prevent the relatively primitive species from making contact with other creatures not of their world :l. They're still rather primitive.

Ah! Then we must buy shiny things! Extra chemical components, extra baubles, extra non-perishable goods! Electrical components, too. Buy a lot of those as well. Use the generously-provided team fund to buy about a 1000$ worth of all that.

We are bringing food, water, medical supplies and knowledge ...
We will likely leave new ideas and new sources of power in our wake, and, of course, the seeds of civil war, oppression, and deeply ingrained hatreds.

Onward, crew of Sacrilege, onward!

5: You walk over to a console on the ship, and press a button called "Shops". You then click the button "Cargo", and a huge menu pops up. Scrolling through, you buy several chemical components, some non-perishable food, and a couple random things that a primitive tribe would probably find interest in, like a lava lamp, and a lighter. You then spend the rest of 1000$ removed from the team fund to purchase a crapton of electronic parts, including outlets, a few small generators, and many, many cables. There are also lightbulbs. You bought so... many... light bulbs.

The navigator punches in the coordinates, and the ship accelerates to an incredibly high speed, occasionally moving gently as it corrects courses to avoid obstacles.

3 more turns until arrival to the location.


(Sorry about not many actions being posted, but this turn was intended entirely for the captain, again. :l Anyways, if you still want to use your previous action, simply repost it. If not, post a new action)

Get a medical exam to determine the cause of all the clumsiness and stupidity. Take a nap.
