I'd say we should explore the surrounding area (East?) a bit more before we go home.
I'm not really sure as to what to think about this new mother, or whether the plants are clustering around it or the spring. Could be dangerous if it turns out to be a seperate 'colony'.

That plant in the middle looks like Mother. I say tomorrows project is to clear out the local wildlife and build a bridge to reach it.

Ask the plantmen if they know anything about the bulb in the middle of the lake, and then head home.

Be sure to bring home some rock samples from the area.

The sharp spines of the thread draw blood! Within moments, there is another, more plantish Ultimah.

On a more serious note...
If our suit is totally waterproof, we might want to poke our head into the water for just a second to see what's what. However, I suggest we AVOID the pool of conductive water next to the electricity utilizing rhino-things until we have slain said rhino-things.

Maybe we could aggro the creatures and run home? It would take less dragging, and we could fill up our supply during the fight.

Since your suit is both water and space proof you take a look underneath the surface. You can feel the heat through your suit so it must be pretty hot, it's also pretty deep. You could probably walk to the other side but you'd be completely submerged for a bit. Bulb and Rabbit are very wary of the water.

You ask Bulb about the soil and water in the area. Bulb says the water is very dangerous and the soil is tasteless and red.

You contemplate the oxygen maker/water purifier. If you had a second one you could make expeditions out from here as well as the beach, you doubt you could make another one though. If you had some parts you might be able to manage but not using sticks and rocks.

Just a quick update to show that this isn't dead. Just got caught up in stuff for the last few days.

Addressed asking bulb about the soil to since I just forgot that in the last one and since there is a lot of plant stuff going on it was a pretty good one.

And... though the purple things may be biomass, I'm a tad bit wary about bringing them home. Ask Bulb 'bout it.

[Weirdsound]

How feasible is it that other bits of our ship survived re-entry and might have landed nearby to use as parts?

If safe, have Bulb and Rabbit carry home as much of the purple plant stuff as possible.

We have the escape pod if we're willing to pull an ocean-floor trek. We'd probably have to carry it all ourself, though.

Turn 31



You take a look at the east. Nothing here but more purple plants and another one of those bird creatures.

You wonder if any of your ship would have survived reentry. It's certainly possible that it could have, when you ejected the orbit wasn't stable so it should have fallen somewhere on this region of the planet. However the reactor was critical so it have exploded, luckily your insurance covers that.

You ask Bulb if these plants could be used as biomass for Mother. Bulb doesn't seem to think so, even making some retching noises for good measure. You also ask about the creatures that are around. Bulb doesn't know anything about them either, it would seem knowledge of the planet isn't something that the plants are 'born' with.



After exploring the east you take a look at the northeast. Surprisingly there appears to be some kind of transmitter near some rocks. You examine it and determine that it is inactive. You can't really tell how old it is since it's pretty worn from sitting outside for so long. There appears to be a logo on it's case but you don't recognize it.

I think "Study the surrounding area" implied walking around a bit rather then hanging by the spring. If I was wrong we'll all just have to live with this tragic mistake on my part.

Since I never explain anything I should mention that the areas are 3x3, this one with the spring in the center. The camp is 3x2 though since I guess I decided that the bottom row was all water last time I was running this?

...IT'S A TRAP!

[Coolrune206]

Grab that thing and run home.

-1 to grab and go. It could be a trap.

Go back to camp. Rest up. Recharge. Come back to the area tomorrow when you have more time to properly disassemble the transmitter and investigate mother 2.0.

[TankKit]

BTW 'IT'S A TRAP' is a no to grabbing it.
