Pull it out and dissect it to find out the fruits of my labor. Also start cloning the new one at fast growth.
You drag the barely alive body of your pet mutant to the labs and cut it open. Fused ribcage is here, also steel bones. You find this out by dulling a scalpel on it. Damn. Luckily you are not limited on those. Hmm, steel bone modification doesn't extend to teeths, so those are still normal. Eyes are ...not exactly right, too sensitive it seems. It will have hard time seeing anything in direct sunlight. Otherwise you can't find anything else wrong with it.
New pet growing.
Start growing it.
Ok, another monster growing up in vats.
((Sorry, been busy))
Take a once over through the infirmary, double checking everybody. Release all from quarantine, but Guni, Alex, and Gyorgy must wear environment suits at all times. Upload the formulas for the vaccines I've made, as well as DNA mapping for the bacteria types we found, for the doctors I'm in contact with.
You double check everybody on board, but results are same. Except Alex is not dying from necrosis or György from clotting blood, they are both healthier now.
Everyone released. Guni is outside so she's naturally wearing the suit, so is György, but Alex isn't. Better remind him about it.
Ok, things uploaded. Doctors will check it out. Turns out someone else has made vaccine for VGU-1 and BGR-2 as well.
Scouting mission is a success! \o/ Now to begin Phase 2! Let's double back to the base to get the car, then head direct West.

Are you trying to make me expand the map?
Yes.
"I DO NOT like this.Rocks placed like that dont have a tendency to do so without something moving them."
At base: change SMG to survival knife, change KS-23 to AA-12 with anti-personel ammo, drop off netgun.
AA-12 as in automatic shotgun?
You two jog back to the base. Uneventful trip, but a bit tiring. Adam swithces his gear in armory while Guni gets an ATV down on surface. You don't make it far from base yet because you spent most of time in this turn jogging back to the base.
Get back in the flyer and go flying again try to get some pictures of the bird and check for any more critters running around below us
Flying around the not-eagle and snapping photos of it tearing chunks off the dead bird. Lovely.
Only critters around you can see are two humanoids in a space suit driving a vehicle away from the base. Anything else is either too small to see from up air or are hiding in the forest.
I thought I posted, sorry.
Call that guy back, and see where he wanted the meeting at.
Good.
You go to the briefing room and make a call. After waiting for a minute walls flicker alive and display another room, exactly like the one you are in. There are two people; older man, somewhere around 80 years old judging from wrinkles, and young woman in typical security personel uniform.
| "About time." says the woman frowning. She's clearly not impressed by your response time. |
| "Ah, you are not Alex. Head of security, I assume?" says the man. "I'm Cole Schultz, expedition leader of Geology Unit 2 and she's Courtney McDaniel, our head of security." |
| "Nice to meet you. You assume cerrectly. My name is Cromwell Jackson. Alex is busy with his duties elsewhere and might not be joining us so I'm filling in." Courtney snorts completely unsuprised when you mention situation with Alex. "So, what is this meeting about?"
|
| Cole nods. "To put it shortly, we basically want to borrow your equipment and invite your team to studying extensive cave network we found. The caves are quite far from our current location and there's no good spot for landing our base ships anywhere closer, so we figured we need an outpost. Unfortunately we don't have anything we can use to make one. I know biology units have number of those big containers meant for holding large animals so I figured I could ask if we can borrow two and convert them into small laboratory and living space. And your unit is the closest biology unit to us so that's why I called out you first." Cole leans slightly forward and speaks a little bit quieter voice. "And if your team is willing to co-operate with us then could possibly persuade your doctor to join the away team? Ours is... not very pleasant person to have around." |
| "Understatement of the century." Courtney agrees. |
