Start gathering knowledge for something that will increase my hide.
Find enough to make a simple toolbox.
Could I build some sort of weapon I could fire while remaining hidden? Doesn't have to be too powerful and could also have recoil or some other drawback.

By how much?
You can find the parts but I don't think you...well you could build it on your own but it would take a totally perfect roll.
Blowgun or bow and arrow might work.
((Well, unless someone tells my character we're about to get moving, I'm going to do this.))

Ok, You just need 30 knowledge for this.
[Find 10+14] And you just got 10 by searching around the archive and compiling info on what you found.
Pipeguns go to whoever wants one, first come first served. Make sure that the number of guns does not exceed seven (7), because that's all I'm making for now. (For reference, the current crew size is ~Sixteen (16), so we should be able to arm a decent percentage.)
Can I continue working on guns while the Bore is traveling? Either way I'm ready to leave now, but please tell me how many guns I made and my remaining Stamina if we leave before I'm done.
How long to make a simple knife?

These are really things that are between players so...
"Note to self: look for chalkboard for communication. Or maybe use morse tapping? Perhaps a more complex device can be made, should look into that... "
How does Dev's character (a robut) look like to me from the deep sea?
If I can perceive robuts any way, try touching his body to learn more (like with the wall). Or does their lack of a soul prevent this as well?
Does stamina refill when chilling out in ghostmode? Are there other ways to refill it while diving?
If I could pick up an realspace item when on a deeper sea level, say a gun, and try to fire it: what roll would that use?
How are relics made? Like regular items with a build roll in the real world? Are they pulled out of the ether? Or does it require gathering knowledge for even the weakest of them?
Finally, are there/will there be ways to increase our max stamina in-game, or is the starting amount all we're ever gonna get?
((I'd like a pipe gun as well, but since I'm in no position to claim one IC, I'll just take one if there's any left. If not, no biggie, I've still got my weird-o-vision.))
You see only more mundane matter, nothing like the living things around you, even the Bore.
You try to touch him, but the shadows refuse to solidify under your fingers
Nope, you lose 5 to project, then 2 each turn while projecting, and an additional 2 if you attack. You've lost 11 so far, 13 if we count this turn. I don't see your sheet so I can't tell you how much you have left.
Transcend to pick it up, blast to fire
Relics require knowledge to make, even the weak ones.
There are ways.
Something more begins to form from the shadows, something bigger.
Familiarise myself with the mapping system and other systems I may otherwise be unfamiliar with. Once i get comfortable in place, and once everyone is on board and ready to go, get the drill moving straight down.
If we aren't yet ready, make a cup of coffee and pull out a good book.

[control:50+9] You get acquainted with the mapping system and the various sensors of the machine. There looks to be some kind of deep ping system here that might give an idea about the material of surrounding areas. Might be useful. You get the machine ready to go and announce to everyone that you're gonna set out in a few moments.
The masked man simply stares at the engineheart for several seconds, before eventually responding with a single word: "No."
Robutt gets attacked if it attempts to get closer to the divers. If it leaves, go back to lazing around on pillows.

Observe the meatbag with a sword, and the others behind him.
"Oh please, meatbag, I'm not here to hurt these unconscious meatbags. I'm here to entertain myself. You seem pretty proud of yourself, and you're standing here guarding them. Tell you what, how about we put it to a bet? If I can get past you, I win. If I can't, I lose."
Well, the meat bags in the back look fairly standard but this frontbag here, he seems more dangerous than most meatbags. And he's in your way...Hmm.
go to the sancuary to protect against possible monsters from another world, or watch a fight break out between my teammates with amusement, whichever comes first

Bio: Thompson(Tommy) A. Faber was intially employed as an engineer and specialiazed in helping to put together the dead bodies into useful pieces, as well as combining them with machines. After one particuarllly unfortunate accident involving an experimental flesh monster hooked up to a welding kit and newly minted methane producing monster, Faber, after the prolonged recovery period, left and decided to join a bore crew.

Go to the bridge and idly wonder why the brain is in such a vulnerable position.

The brain, which no one has gotten a look at yet, is quite a thing. It doesn't really resemble a human brain at all; it looks more like a cubic crystal with small cube growths coming off it in random places. It's partially submerged in a black oily substance and there is a constant surge of electricity crackling across it, arcing between the growths and crawling along its surface. The oil occasionally catches fire and fills the glass dome the brain is contained in with a burst of black smoke and swirling embers. Even from here, behind the glass, you can feel
something in there, like a great eye leering down on you.
Holiday and Sou say their final goodbyes to the crew and head out the main door as Deira retracts the ramp and closes the hanger. All around the Bore scaffolding is folding back, fuel tubes are retracting, crewmen are running back to get into the armored airlock and not be shredded by rocky shrapnel as the machine starts up. After a few minutes Sou comes over the bridge radio.
"The coms wire is hooked up and will automatically be spooling out from here on so long as you don't snap it or anything. Good luck."
Deira flips a switch to connect the main engine power and there is a audible metal thunk that reverberates through the entire machine. The metal legs shift and flex, seemingly of their own accord, pulling themselves in and then lifting the entire machine several feet into the air. Metal strains and the machine shivers newborn, untested strength. Deira takes the throttle leaver in both hands and slowly raises it up to full. The engine roars, its thumping pistons sounding off like hammers beating on metal, shaking the machine like an iron heart. Black exhaust pours out into the cave and fills it soot and cinders. The drill itself whirls and sequels, a chrome cyclone beneath the machine.
"All hands brace."
Deira checks the heading one last time and then shifts the last lever forward.
"CONTACT"
The legs push hard downward and spear the drill straight into the stone. The machine shakes violently and then stabilizes and is underway. The surface vanishes in a few seconds, becoming nothing more than a rapidly shrinking circle of light above the bridge. With a mighty clang the coms arm drives the first metal stake into the stone and spools the coms line out behind it.
Ok, here's how this works. Each of these squares is 5 hours of digging. We're basically gonna compress time as we move between locations, so that builders can build more and we don't have to sit around doing nothing. So builders, each square is 5 hours of work, or 1 sleep to fully restore your stamina. Plan your stuff accordingly.
Now then the question is, how deep do we go? How far do we move straight down before stopping or moving in another direction? Lets get that worked out before anything else.
