Our newbies seem strangely absent...Where is everyone? Sy can't send you to your death if you don't report in! Do they just not know where to go?
Send a probe into Orgyverse to modify the datapads to initially display an image of how to start using the datapads. Wait a bit and then send a second probe to see if that allowed for any progression.
Send a probe into Spiderverse. Any progression?
Send a colony into Factoryverse, with an EUE with Hephaestus' anchor ID, 5 IDs for anchors meant for ark ships, and matter converters to produce food, water, and air as needed from goo (use the EUE to take matter from Gooverse). They should start building equipment to create and refill QECs to trade with ark ships. A1, B3, H1. Send Joan's clone with the colony.
The ark ships should have EUEs (and the right anchor ID) to trade with the Factoryverse colony. No QECs other than a few on probes to communicate with Factoryverse. They can refill QECs, and get scrap and other materials, from Factoryverse when they need to be resupplied. As for the weapon thing, just outfit the ship with weaponry similar to that of our warships.
If we can produce one of the ships this turn, stand near it (after a sod enters the ship) and press B1, B3, H1 and see what happens.
Perform a brain transplant on the werewolf sod after rendering it unconscious using the controls for the testing room. Switch brains with a healthy sod. Make sure both are restrained. Fix the nerve damage, then see if they are both mindless when they wake up.
Place another sod in restraints, give it a will stim, then make an incision on the sod's arm using the crystalline projector bayonet installed in aux-controlled medical equipment.
As a separate, unrelated action: place crystalline projector nearby. B1, B5, H1 (disassembly test). B1, B7, H1 (repair test), B1, C4, G4, H1 (invisibility attempt).
They still don't seem to understand. They are confirmed for not very bright.
They seem to have made some progress but it is very random. They will make large strides in some places and then take a very long time in others. Perhaps it has to do with the ideas or concepts inherent in our language.
Done.
Done.
That replicates one of the guns, and select sections of the decks, but not the whole ship.
The brain transplant is successful and the healthy sod brain appears able to control the werewolf body effectively and obediently. The other brain continues to be uncontrollable and feral.
I'm not certain this is as it was presented, but the transformation via crystalline projector is endurance, not will.
It breaks it into individual parts, but the attempt to repair does nothing. that causes the projector's colors to become less pronounced and trend towards white, but it remains opaque.
Alright. Get a crew together for universe UF(30,318,608). Try to get a shuttle that has light hex-plate armoring for micro-meteorites impacts as we explore the ruin ring. Also attempt to get a QEC to stay in contact with the probe, when the probe 'ports between UF and Heph, so that can we explore farther and not be presumed lost.
Damnit. Posted while PW was doing the turn. Let's try this again.
Shuttle I can give you. Other is up to sy.
Otherwise, you're good to go.
Volunteering for trip to the planet with rings.
This is not self organizing very well.
Also good to go with him.
Launch whoever is going to the planet with the ring with a shuttle, sharksuits for all, assorted odds, but no ends, and something like a shield generator for the shuttle. And any personal equipment that is standard on a mission at this stage of the game, including a healthy supply of meals ready to eat and a load of t-shirts with dinosaurs on them.
Alright, guess someone is going behind sy's back for the sake of expediency, thats fine.
Volunteer for renegadelobster's trip.
Done.
At this point, one of you guys either needs to pilot the ship or just tell it to get going.
Where is your destination once you get there by the way Rings or planet?
1.Wonder where all the other M26 people went.
2.Send an orbital probe to UB "Caveyverse". I want to know what the planet looks like up top, and starting expeditions from below is probably a bad idea anyway.
3.Send an orbital probe to UE "Zappyverse". This time, I more want to know what the solar system is like, and whether the planet looks artificial from orbit.
4.Send a collection of orbital probes to UD "Moveyverse". Have them keep track of mountains, and map their migratory habits.
5.Send probes to UB through UF (the last five), for the express purpose of examining the universes as wholes. Are they all like UA, with a cosmology that is broadly similar to that of our own universe?
6.Let's get some video and details on the Armory Master. She's doing better, but how much better? Concious?
The Armory Master has been successfully transferred into universe (-7,-7,-7). Its vitals seem to have improved, and I have attached to this message all the recorded data on it.
Good question
The planet appears to be a rather inhospitable place up top. Not mercury "raining heavy metals" bad but 130 F deserts across 90% of the surface bad.
Everything looks natural, it's just the planet that is weird. Though there are also several asteroid rings that look suspiciously new.
They appear to flow following laws of fluid dynamics, as thought they were enormous rock waves. They even merge and split and ripple off in different directions.
From what we can tell, they're all broadly similar, though with a few differences. Namely, those where origin tech works have signs of big bang like events, while those where they don't work are lacking those signs.
She's conscious and does not appear to be having any trouble controlling herself or her powers. She does report that this universe "Feels different" as though it were similar but not quite the same. She says she can tell there's an origin here too, or something very much like it.
