Is there anything Dan needs to do?

[StrawBarrel]

Muslim grabs a head sized chunk of ice and puts them on a handcart. Then with both hands, gloved in surgical gloves; the doctor could not find actual work gloves in short notice, he grovels and scrapes the ground for small chunks of ice and dumps them into buckets. His hands are cold. Sweat breaks from his brow. He thinks he should take a break. But this is no time to stop. Even with a third of the crew receiving serious injuries yesterday, everyone still pulls their own weight and then some. Muslim hefts a meter long piece of space ice and carries it away.

((OOC: @Pencil_Art- You could try to get more power or food, talk to someone, idle around, rp moving ice to the water storage, or anything really. @tntey- You have drills for sure, but if Azkanan thinks it's reasonable, then I guess there can ice picks.))

[Azkanan]

"Only another two hours of this, eh Mac?" Ashton says, using the drill on another chunk of ice. Working in zero G was difficult, especially when you had to deal with tiny chunks of ice floating away that you were supposed to be harvesting.

She tries to look for a weakpoint in the ice and rock, to see if she could break off a large chunk all at once.

In breaking off a 2-meter tall shard, you hug it and push off from the asteroid, trusting your harness to carry you back to the airlock. You arrive safely.

((Do we have ice picks?

Picks are a bit redundant when you have drills.

[Spiderking50]

How much water do we have and how much until we're full?

[Azkanan]

320/750 is currently on-board.

Watching the sensors, Catherine suddenly starts shouting. "Someone get on the gun, now, or get the drillers back in. We've got an alien on a collision course again."

[~Neri]

"What I don't get is why they are all drifting around."

[Twinwolf]

"They're aliens. Their reasons are probably not in any way understandable by humans. If they even have reasons."

[Spiderking50]

Don't our shields keep them out?

Due to the shields being online, anything smaller than a sizable asteroid bounced away with a beautiful ripple of aqua-coloured shielding, which faded back into the invisible shield surrounding them - including the alien floaters.

[~Neri]

"They are biological lifeforms without a means of propulsion. There's a logical reason for their drifting. Alien does not mean incomprehensible. It simply means foreign."

[Twinwolf]

Don't our shields keep them out?

"Probably, but we'll be knocked off course and then the people outside will be stranded."

[Pencil_Art]

Dan heads off to take the order, going to the armory to get his handgun, and donning a suit, before moving to get a visual.

"What is that?"

[Azkanan]

Dan heads off to take the order, going to the armory to get his handgun, and donning a suit, before moving to get a visual.

"What is that?"

You pan your pod to face the tumbling, spherical biological thing as it nears the ship. Ready to fire.

[Rolepgeek]

"Wait, what's going on?" Ashton asks, hanging onto the ship as she tries to maneuver the ice chunk into the airlock.

[Twinwolf]

Assuming they have radios, Catherine responds. "Alien on a collision course."
