Deciding to get back in the game is important, so I wish to gather up some other hunters, before heading out to explore the new world we've landed on...and kill the inhabitants for meat so we can live. If able, he joins Ilyena's camp as well.

Why, of course!

It's fine, but I can't promise that this universe is as friendly as the PIXAR-verse :p

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

((There isn't anything nice about a rigid autopilot with secret orders...))

Lenny ignores the orders of Comrade Lenox and wanders the area around the ship, collecting twigs and berries.

Gaspard makes his way on over to the hunters' camp.
"Ah, oui, hello? I have been told by Monsieur Lenox that there are a group of hunters setting up around here? I'm equipped and skilled to go scouting, and if any of you would like to tag along and see what there is to hunt around here, you are welcome, as long as I'm not taking more than deux of you."

"I'm not going to say don't reproduce.... but I'm going to advise against it for now. Until we have a suitable agriculture, and future shelters prepared, I don't want an influx of children. Now, this may be an unpopular decision. But would any of you like your children to grow up hungry, and without a place to sleep?

Give it six months before you start to populate Lustrum. By then, we should have everything more than stable.

"Well, once the colony is stable, I'd say: Go all out!

We need to populate a whole planet.

Hmmm... this is giving me a good idea.

When we have a stable supply of food, we will begin rationing it out to people, saving enough each year to stockpile in case of a rainy day. Rations will be more than enough a human being needs to eat every day. The ration of workers will be decided by one thing and one thing only; profession. If they do nothing, they will receive a normal ration. If they do a task which is important to the survival of the colony, like farming or construction, they receive an extra half-ration. If they are in an incredibly important position, they get two rations. Furthermore, families with children will receive an extra ration and a half for every child they have.

Rations, of course, referring to our crops. We'll not be having hard-tack and biscuits, as the word ration may make it sound. No, we shall be eating glorious bounties of farmed goods.

Thank you for informing me. Please take care.

"Comrade, these are merely my suggestions. I am in no position of leadership. I am suggesting a possible system, and wondering if the people would find this system to be favorable.

You have no need to follow my ideas. Feel free to do your own thing. Have kids earlier than six months or... not at all. I cannot control you. I can only advise you.
