[LordPorkins]

Frazz is ready to move with the group. Just because the harmless use rocks doesn't mean they aren't aliens.

[retromach]

Move on where, exactly? 200km on foot? With the gate secured, you could definitely head back for supplies. Snowmobiles come to mind, as well as combat armor. Looking over this topography, you might also want to pack tents and supplies for the trip, it's going to take more than a day.

Plus, Priscilla is waiting, and perhaps some aerial survey gear.

[Happy Demon]

[Tina Murdoch]

"Maybe... more supplies."
Tina starts heading back to the gate, so they can get the stuff needed for the journey. Maybe return some of the samples as well.

[Insanegame27]

“Maybe a less restrictive or more protective armor set now that we don’t have to worry about environmental sealing.”

[retromach]

The team headed back. The forest was quiet, save for a rustling wind, while one of your members took their time, activating the gate in a series of rigid motions interspersed with long seconds of reviewing AR assistance models.

Coming back through, it was time to plan your expedition. You'd likely be gone several days. Akras will provide you with one snowmobile per two squad members, that you have to share. An exception will be made for Tina and Priscilla, as Priscilla is a third party resource and thus cost-efficient to use. These snowmobiles each have rear-mounted light laser turrets, and room to pack tents and provisions. These tents include a basic airlock system to hang your armor up. The vehicles have enough deuterium to safely use as generators in the field.

Unless you post otherwise, I'll assume you all change into the Offworld Scouting Armor, which is strictly better than the armored space suit in this environment, providing +10 dicetype on commando checks. If you want to make any other equipment changes, let me know.

[Cynicalwhovian]

"Perhaps this is speculation of the most extreme degree, but perhaps this is a gate that acts upon time as opposed to space. Firs and rock-wielding bipeds are...highly unusual."

Stella does change but doesn't change any other equipment.

[Happy Demon]

[Tina Murdoch]

"But... the gate is on Mars, n-not Earth."
Now that Tina will get Priscilla along, she changes her loadout.

[JaxtalMK2]

"Yeah, it's... unlikely. But anything I suppose could be technically possible." Kaito nodded, checking his gear over before the long trip. He'd still be bringing the same as before, though he did change armour. "I'd hold off on judgement until we see where this second castle effect is coming from."

[LordPorkins]

Frazz changes, but otherwise keeps his same gear.

"Hey, maybe we should bring a spacesuit with us in storage. After all, we may be messing with all sorts of weirdness when we start getting closer to the castle.

[Happy Demon]

[Tina Murdoch]

"Too big. Would mean not taking tents. U-unless a gate, is active. We wont see void."

[retromach]

You stepped through the gate after the supply train launched a half a dozen boxes through. They were scattered in the cave. You began to unpack them, and try to get all of this weight up and out of the cave.

[Cynicalwhovian]

Stella helps to do so, but she's still watching the treeline carefully. They might grow bold after regrouping.

[Bill Chompski]

"So who's shooting and who's driving?" Danh asks, helping unpack and load stuff up.

[zomara0292]

“I could shoot. It’s not like we will likely need to, anyway. We are going to be moving really fast. What is possibly going to be able to keep up with us?”

[LordPorkins]

“I could shoot. It’s not like we will likely need to, anyway. We are going to be moving really fast. What is possibly going to be able to keep up with us?”

"Dude, why you gotta do that? Haven't you watched any movie ever?"

Frazz loads up. He'll drive, since shooting isn't his forte
