World Difficulty: 4. Outside large evergreens grow amongst ferns and berry bushes at the edge of a red/blue lake. A small dirt trail winds through the area and against a birch tree at it's edge a wooden sign is easily visible. The sign states, in french, that a trading post called Grand Portage is about eight miles to the northeast.

Go tame some wolves. Or Bears. Also cut down trees with the chainsaw.
attempt: 85+3=88(-10 for specifics)= 78
quality: 91
quantity: 36-91=1
Heading out into the wilderness, you set your sights on capturing some animals. It's only a few hours before you find what seems to be a den of some sort. Cloaking yourself in your powers to keep undetected you sneak inside. The sleeping black bear mother is quite large for her species. And beside her sleep three tiny cubs. Carefully extending your powers you delve into the mind of the mother bear, effectively taming her. She wakes up and you carefully lower your cloak and feed her some berries from outside. You lead her back to the ship, with the three cubs following behind.

Leave my yen, chromium block and gravel in group storage then go out in search of metal or ore to Gather
attempt: 97+3=100(-5 specifics)= 95
quality: 49, 58
quantity: 42, 79
Putting your items in storage, you head out into the forest, with your mindset on finding some metal. Luckily for you the area is known for it's copper deposits, and before long, you find one that your powers tell you still contains a large vein of untapped copper. Reaching out with your powers you sunder the earth, pulling up a huge chunk of copper and tossing soil, trees, mud, rock and anything else that gets in your way aside. In the end you return with the full vein of copper. An immense 121 useable units of the stuff.

Get some crabs to hatch
attempt: 79+20=99
quality: 7
base influence: 7+7=14
You put some of your powers to use trying to hatch your newly made crab eggs. The unhealthy creatures don't make for very good subjects, but for every one you loose there are a few more. In the end, three live baby crab spawn are born with their bright neon-red shells still glistening. They crawl weakly and unsteadily around the workspace, but they are alive, for now.

!base influence:14!I once again attempt to craft by weaving two of the plasmas into stable cloth.
attempt: 83+20=103
quality: 26
base influence: 51+26=77
After a break and some reflection, you return to making your starcloth. Forming your powers into giant rollers, you start by flattening and stretching the plasma. Like a massive glowing pasta maker you put your plasma dough through again and again until you have two impossibly thin, very long strips of plasma. You then take the star material and weave it over and around itself until you have a large amount(1d10=7) about 7 units of useable starcloth. Deciding you only need half of the material, you put three units into group storage and keep four for your own creations.

!base influence:77!Attach the laser to the crab's back and connect it to thre brain so that it functions just like a limb and the crab can use it instictively and on command.
attempt: 10+20+1=31
Trying your hand at a bit more cybernetic implantation, you consider your crab. More specifically the crab's 'brain'. Crustations arn't the smartest creature on earth and they have a very simplistic nervous system. It's going to take a bit more study and understanding until you can connect the laser to the creature's body effectively.
+31 cybernetics exp(~Levelup!~)
Gather. I'll put everything except for an unit of plasma, a bokken, the rainbow shell and the shield.
attempt: 52+20+4=76
quality: 01
quantity: 36-1=35
Emptying some of your inventory to group storage, you ponder your next action. The forest beckons and you give in to the gatherer impulses. Thinking simple is better than fancy, you begin to dig. After a few hours of grabbing chunks of the ground, you have a fair amount of soil, weeds, and low lying ferns. You bring your mini forest floor pieces back to the ship, feeling proud of yourself.
+76 gather exp(~Levelup!~)
+ lumps of forest floor(about 20 units of dark peat soil, 5 units of mixed sand, 5 smoothed lake superior pebbles, 3 units of dead plantlife and leaves, and 2 living weed(thistle), 1 living fern(small and rather unhealthy looking)
And there we go. 
Only one failure with Nincompoop's laser crab, but even he leveled his skill.
Hope people don't mind the whole 'unit' system I've been using for simplicity's sake. Hard to put a value to gallons and hunks, and piles and chunks. So been trying to put 'unit' pieces that 1 unit is the minimum that can be used to make 1 item with a craft.
