Drink dispensers are refilled periodically when they are running out of source materials. They were refilled last time just before the base departed from the mothership. Water will probably refilled before next evening as it is main ingredient for all drinks.
'Supply of extra blood' as in additional vials of your own?
Is there any way I could get access to it? Also, are there other living people onboard this ship other than we PCs?
No, I mean the supply of blood, you know for medical transfusions and experiments. Surely there's a refrigerator somewhere. I'd like to sabotage it or spike it with my own blood.
I bet mastahcheese knows what's really going on. The chiefs probably got special PM briefings.
Theoretically you could. All water is recycled on the ship, so sneaking into water filterings and tanks is possible. And yes, there are NPCs doing things, like technicians maintaining the ship and building things for mastahcheese. There's also communications officer and someone in armory ensuring people won't stockpile weapons.
That kind of blood supply certainly exists in infirmary which is, btw, semi-sapient robot with fixation on its doctor.
Eh, they know nothing beyond their own guess work.
head to the meet up for away teams then sort out some gear namely my SMG from last time, both a high caliber pistol and tazer, and a netgun.
You drop by armory before going to the briefing room and get your weapons. Do you want same very thight net Cromwell is using?
((Acetaminophen isn't a placebo. While one of its primary uses is reducing pain, it also reduces the severity and duration of fevers.))
Be briefed when the time to be briefed arrives. After doing so, request Guni try to minimize her contact with other crew members; full quarantine isn't likely yet, but we don't want to have a pandemic on our hands. If possible, try to isolate the bacteria and viruses, and begin work for vaccines on each. Produce a sufficient number of all vaccines to immunize the away team, at the very least.
"Guni is now suffering from a fever. She has been told to minimize contact with others, which will largely mean staying in quarantine, but she may be brought out should something come up with relatively little risk. She is confirmed to be suffering from a few bacterial and one viral infection; a vaccine already exists for one, and one was declared harmless by another member of the away team, though this may prove to be false. Working on producing enough vaccines for the away team now."
Guni is about to knock herself out, so that problem kinda sorts itself out. You have live samples to work with so vaccines are in progress, lets say they are ready in two turns.
You are now in briefing room.
Stop by the medical area to pick up that drawing that Guni made of the birds.
Make sure Engineering has the vehicle and weapons ready in the loading platform.
Head to the briefing room, and count how many members of the away team I've got.
Drawing is waiting you in infirmary so you get it. Technical boys are currently testing their setup, but otherwise it is ready.
Head count in briefing room is 3. You, Mark, and doctor Pendle.
Catch a few bugs into containers.
You didn't bring any containers with you. So you get back on ship, grab few and catch some bugs. Much easier now that you know what to look at.
Find my drawing and give it to Mastah. Go get a tranq pistol and take a bunch of darts with enough sleepy juice to just make me drowsy. Go to my room and turn up the cold, shoot myself and leave the gun on the nightstand. Sleep the fever off.
Cromwell already found your drawing. You get some stronger tranquilizers and squeeze some of the juice out. Once you are laying in the bed you shoot yourself into leg with tranqs.
There are safer ways to get sleep, you know. Like pills.
Attempt to figure out how this works to make the skeleton steel. Stop growing the madman and check out the effects of my mutations. Also consider the possibility of creating a species designed to grow rapidly at the cost of non-stop consuming of high nutrient food during the growth process.
As in bone steel for industrial purposes? That works a little too slow to be viable. But to get replacement bones for humans... that takes just a little of creative gene splicing, nothing beyond your skills.
Mutated clone of the madman is as big as 5 month old fetus, so results of your tinkering are visible. Four eyes, check. Really freaky, new eyes are on sides of skull where ears used to be and entire forehead is expanded to accommodate new features. Ears are raised higher out of the way. You can't know if infravision worked without removing an eye from its socket and performing invasive surgery, so you do exactly that. And you know what? There are new type of photon sensitive cells! You call that great success. Now the fused ribcage plate, it is there just as expected. The clone seems to make breathing movement just fine, but you can't really tell what would happen under stress. It is still possible it can't breathe properly in that case, but it could be circumvented with more effective lungs. Birds usually to have those as well due their higher metabolism.
Creating entirely new custom species from scratch is still strictly in domain of gods. You can't just skip billion years of evolution in few days. However modifying existing species to fit your requirements is possible and relatively common practice when it comes to scientific research.
3: Guni's personal flyer
Currently we have following samples on ship:
* Springy grass. (Partially studied)
* Soil. (Studied)
* Seven corpses of large four eyed birds. (Studied)
*
Aquatic creature. (Studied)
* Two corpses of black wolf-creature. (One studied)
** Possibly contaminated blood samples of black wolf-creatures.
** Additional set of blood and tissue samples from female wolf-creature.
* Grasshopper-type insect. (Studied)
*
Green/pink flashing insects. (Not studied)
Currently doing following:
* Infrared/four eyed full body human clone with fused ribs. Using Theron's DNA as a base. Growth halted.
* Vaccine against
BAQ-1,
BGu-1 and
VGU-1. (-2 turns)
Completed and unchecked things:
* Vaccines against
BGR-1 and
BGR-2.
* Infrared vision eyes. Using Dave's DNA as a base.
