"Well, Tek guesses that two of the four people on watch could stay on the same side of the host, and remain stationary while pointing their light lamps at the host at the maximum safe strength. That would still create shadows, but the only shadows the host would cast would be pointing away from the group.  Of course we would only have to do this during the mornings and evenings as long as we observe the Eater's shadow during the day, which should move quite predictably at that time.

Did anyone bring more powerful external lights?  It would probably be better if the host couldn't cast any shadows at all."

[Harry Baldman]

Well, that train of thought led to a load of bollocks.

Try to consciously resist the heat with an effort of will. Shouldn't be difficult if such an effort is applicable, given my lack of attachment to modes of inefficient thought.

Also, try turning on the suit lights and pointing them at the Eater of Cold at all times.

"Right, I'll join you on watch Chin. Anyone with cameyes, set them to thermal. It's gonna get cold, and anything hot is gonna be trouble. Just remember to flick back once in a while. Assuming that everything here gives off body heat is going to get us into trouble. Hrmmm. Steve, how hot does it get inside a Mk1 when the heat exchange is broken, or disabled?"

Keep an eye out around the camp, and beyond.

"Yeah, I was about to start heating her anyways"  Turn on gun, procede to heat eater of cold

[Dorsidwarf]

Set Raduga to wide angle microwave, low power (maybe around 10% or so), and keep her warm.

((10% power on the Raduga is almost certainly NOT "warm", even on widest diffusion. It's a Gaiss cannon equivalent (but lasers) more or less. Also, why not plain ol' infrared heat ray?))

Cecil eyeballs the rocks. The evil, evil rocks. They look like they need a good punching.

What kind of evils do these rocks want to commit? Does it feel like they want to hinder us?

[sambojin]

"I'll take first watch as well. The next bugger can borrow my laser and backpack to keep her warm afterwards. It's got a dial on it. Don't turn the damn thing up unless you want to punch a hole in her. I've got plenty of stuff that'll do that anyway.

Temp-boy. Keep singing out those readings so we know if she's getting too cold."

Sambo turns on his suit lights and stands on the other side of the woman from the Chief, so no shadows are cast (or at least, his lights will nullify the shadows cast by her's). He stands out of the way of the raduga beam though. He keeps his laser rifle pointed at the woman, but doesn't fire it yet.

((Already answered by PW at some point; without the heat exchange you will boil yourself to death with your own body heat))

"If anyone has some sort of laser heating device that can run for the whole night I can just lock my joins on the exoskeleton and sleep in it"

if given such a device lay down in relatively comfortable position and lock joints so that the woman is heated then go to sleep, otherwise keep watch as required

[Gentlefish]

((Already answered by PW at some point; without the heat exchange you will boil yourself to death with your own body heat))

((So could we shove her in one of those?))

[Nunzillor]

((I think it was mentioned before, but no one was willing to give up their suit...))

[sambojin]

"I'd say it might get pretty damn nippy at night compared to now, so we might have to up the temperate a bit later on. If you want to try it after my watch, this rifle might be good for it. Might have to move closer rather than fiddling with the power dial to turn up the temp though. This generator ain't great."

[Corsair]

((I think it was mentioned before, but no one was willing to give up their suit...))

((Also it could kill her as she is still vunerable to damage as the sunburn shows so it may not be the best idea))

[Hapah]

Help build fires (on different sides of the Eater, so that they cast less/weaker/shadows). Also seperate our motley crew into 2 about-equal watch shifts, if there are no objections. Finally, try to determine how much fuel we have for the fires.

((Building them on different sides will just add more directions of shadow. I would suggest building a semi-circle of fires with the fire side towards us, so that more shadows are going away from us.))
