Vigil, while tending to the plant and slowly watching it die, will also try to design the needed containment center.

Ricardo yells for an engineer to get him a steel box the size of a dog with oxygen piping through it.

Ricardo and the engineer are able to transport the captured alien spider and get it into a sealed terrarium. The terrarium is climate controlled and the spider seems to be alive, albeit it doesn't move. It just sits there. Waiting. Biding it's time. Preparing. [Engineering 60]

"Well, here you go, a pack full of dead stuff and some rock samples" Christian reaches in and grabs a few of the smaller rocks "now, if you will excuse me, I need to get out of this suit and visit engineering."

"Yeah, I don't think any of these will be as useful as the live one we gathered, but I have some.. somewhat intact samples." Kaito would say, setting out the ones he'd grabbed. "It was interesting, the ones that had gotten blasted by a laser almost looked like crab legs... huh, wonder if they'd be edible. Food from another planet, that'd probably sell well."

Mission 2-Anya Report

This mission is considered a success by Akras' board of directors. The team was able to scout the area surrounding the gate, and identify both plant and animal life, returning with live samples of each. While the plant was not able to survive for long, the time it was in the lab has proven valuable to Akras. The wealth of biological differences has led Akras to conclude that a permanent research and biological containment facility will need to be constructed on New Australia, to serve both for sample-gathering locally and for safe storage of biological samples far from our civilian operations on Mars.

Each astronaut was awarded 3000 credits, plus stock based on their performance reviews.

Danh Loi, Demolitions and Security - 50 shares
Mr. Loi remains a consistent personality problem. On this mission, he made decisions based on his desire to be distant from team mates, even threatening to assault one on his return to Akras Mars. He was reluctant to undertake personal danger for the good of the company. However, Mr. Loi's sharpshooting talent proved critical at multiple stages, saving one of his team members from danger with a precision shot to a spiderbeetle on Christian's helmet, and devastating the hive's response as the team sought to penetrate back to the gate room.

Vigil Henderson, Biologist - 100 shares
Mr. Henderson exceeded the review board's expectations on this mission, returning with valuable deep scans of the alien hive structure and a live sample of an alien tricot. While the sample died shortly after transplant, the team was able to acquire valuable biological and genetic data, and his heroic actions in recovering the sample should not go unrewarded simply because it died after return. Vigil's field analysis of the spiderbeetles should have informed the squad's tactics more, however Vigil bears no responsibility for the hostile work environment he was placed into.

Ricardo de Castillo, Martial Arts - 100 shares
Mr. de Castillo was invaluable in finally terminating the disputes that had created a hostile work environment in the New Australia expedition. His combat prowess went largely undemonstrated due to his focus on returning a live, unharmed sample of a spiderbeetle to a containment unit that he comissioned upon his return. At this time the lab is observing it, however it has so far refused to eat anything we possess, due most likely to Akras Mars' serving vat-grown meat and lacking live subjects for it to hunt. Mr. de Castillo has continued to bring his bow, however the review board notes that it did not become an impediment on the mission.

John Christian, Security and Sensors - 50 shares
Mr. Christian's enthusiasm for space exploration was on clear display as on a number of occasions he urged the party forward and out of the gateroom. He was unsuccessful in convincing them, with only Mr. Loi's intervention to secure additional supplies finally moving things forward. The review board is greatly concerned with Mr. Christian's desire to scout alone and his frequently hostile interactions with other members of the team. He was able to return with important scans of the alien hive. The review board recommends Mr. Christian attend Non-Violent Conflict Intervention (NVCI) training before his next mission.

Wolfram von Steinheil, Archaeologist - 1 share
Dr. von Steinheil performed his duties adequately for the position he was placed in, remaining within the gateroom pending the discovery of alien ruins. No ruins were found on this mission beyond the gateroom, however Dr. von Steinheil proved to be professional and courteous, avoiding the arguments that plagued the rest of the team.

Kaito Yoritomo, Gauss Specialist - 80 shares
Mr. Yoritomo performed excellently in this mission despite a hostile work environment. He directed tactical movement early in the mission, engaged in critical sharpshooting when a team member was in danger, and returned the alien sample immediately through the gate, allowing Akras to examine it whether or not the team was able to return after further exploration. He recommended proceeding without additional supplies that proved to be unnecessary, showing frugality with company resources. He attempted to prevent serious tactical errors and was extremely effective in combat when the hive swarmed and attacked. Akras recommends that Mr. Yoritomo attend Non-Violent Conflict Intervention (NVCI) training before his next mission.

Mission 3 Begins

Staff:
Danh Loi, Demolitions Specialist
Kaito Yoritomo, Gauss Specialist
Ricardo de Castillo, Spiderbeetle Wrangler
John Boiy, Archaeologist
Vigil Henderson, Martial Artist

The team assembled in the gateroom. Dr. Langdon was there with a few members of security. They had a table laid out with the usual equipment to take, and a few other, new items.

"This is something that Dr. Ramone has been working on." Langdon said, disapproval with Ramone clear in his tone. "He calls it a pheromone grenade. If it goes off, he expects the spiders to swarm and attack anything in it's area. Assuming that it doesn't call the entire hive down on you, that could prove to be useful. We have only a limited supply - three of them."

"Your mission here is demolitions. You have been given nine charges. According to the scans taken during the last mission, each of the three locations will require three of the devices to be activated to ensure demolition - an egg chamber, a storage room, and a busy vertical shaft. Please note that the spiderbeetles are able to climb the walls and even ceilings of their hive, so these are considered high danger areas. Once you have set the charges on a 1 hour timer, you should return through the gate. We'll begin excavation afterwards. Any questions?"

Limited Item Availability:
1 Gauss Rifle
1 Demolitions kit with 9 plasma charges.
3 Pheromone Grenades
1 Sample Kit
2 back-slot spiderbeetle kennels
1 autodoc

"Why the hell are we getting those grenades? One of those accidentally goes off, we're all fucked. Let's just leave those here." Danh grunts, slipping into his gear.
Said gear is;
Weapon- MAG-PDW
Hip - Mag-Pistol
Vest - Six grenades
Back - Demolitions kit

"Do you think it will be possible to grab a new plant before the place explodes? Also, do you think it's possible to get a few. . . . Rats? They may be useful."

"There are no live animals anywhere on Mars." Dr. Langdon replied. "Except Sheila, I suppose. While many of us wanted to bring pets, they don't respond well to space travel. As to your other goal, be advised that the committee who assigns your bonuses will not take kindly if you cause trouble for the mission on purpose."

"Maybe, but they could also be useful in drawing the horde to specific locations... what, you never played old zombie games?" Kaito shrugged, looking away from Dahn and gathering his gear. He was sure to take the time to carefully inspect each piece. Your tools were what would keep you alive out there after all.

Weapon: Mag-PDW
Hip:       Combat Knife
Vest:      Pheremone grenade
Back      Gauss Rifle

"Or I could toss it at your feet, easier to pick off targets when they're distracted by bait." He'd speak with a calm tone, but give a small smirk after to show the joke. "More seriously, are you arachnophobic Dahn? If so it might be best if you put in for a mission transfer. We'll all need to have sharp focus for this. And I certainly wouldn't think less of you for it."

"Shut up." Is all the man says, gruffly and in a legitimately unfriendly manner.
Then again, Danh never seems to be jokingly unfriendly anyway.
