Survivors of Mossena Arcade

Isn't it simpler calling them like their crafters? I don't feel like keeping track of bullet size.

One of the crafters is new to bulletmaking, and screws up all his attempts. The rest is a little more experienced, and make quite some cartridges.

Making coil shells is a tedious work, but once you get the hang of it, it goes fast. (1d100 = 75)

A workshop is not a problem for seasoned craftsmen, and designing one is even simpler. (4d100 = 81,70,39,73)

The mining goes fast and clean and with metal. Really, there is not much more to say. (4d100 = 48,15,99,98)

The good corn is gone. The traders find nothing but old, half-eaten or rotten stuff, not even worth planting. (2d100 = 39,11)

The soldiers get bored with the training. They practice a bit, but there's no real improvement. They can shoot now, but not very good, and they still know basic tactics. (1d100 = 15)

The riders arrive safely at the SMA bunker. A little later, the crafters arrive as well, and hook the water lines o the SMA water system. They add pumps and filters, and everything works perfectly fine. (2d100 = 38,99)

Another coilrifle is created, and works equally well as the previous one, though it just doesn't look so awesome. (1d100 = 62)

You know that one single Lego brick you always need but can't find between all the others? The one that is exactly like the five others you found but with a thingie right there? That's exactly what the crafters feel like when they search for those little bolts they need for PoPdarts... (1d100 = 13)

The scientists continue to research the strawberry plants, and manage to grow a patch of cells that have no function yet - if only they could find out how to give them a function. (3d100 = 40,89,31)

This one hill outside your base? It's a gold mine. Well, iron mine. Iron hill. Whatever. Full of iron. 25 pieces, and this is only the beginning! (5d100 = 86,82,68,55,52)

The traders put the nuts in the ground. However, they work only slowly on the farm - such hard labour! (1d100 = 25)

The tin is molten slowly, in neat bars, and thrown on the scrap pile. Iron is a bit harder and even slower, and refiningplatinum just doesn't seem to work... (1d100 = 55)

The tactician takes place behind the monitors. Really, I see no reason to roll dice here

The farmers take good care of the crops, but it doesn't seem to help them grow. (1d100 = 13)

"Hey, look, that wire is loose! I guess it goes -" BOOM
Both crafters who were close to the drill survive the explosion, although one has a giant splinter of metal in his arm. The drill? Ready for the scrapyard. That will teach you to challenge the power of pressurized air! (2d100 = 2,12)

The crafters go out looking for wood. The first group of 4 is lucky, as the woods north of the base hold an old shed - not only do they bring crossbow, but some scrap as well. The others are less lucky, as they come home with scratches from brambles, bruises from stumbling over tree roots and a below-zero mood for being sent into such a jungle...

Amongst the scrap the crossbowmakers brought, there is a sweet compressor - sweet as in, it has u far lighter and simpler design. Not only can they build a lightweight spudgun, they also have some ideas for building compressors themselves. (2d100 = 80,69)

Well, it was time they got lucky. One of the scientists, in a moment of weakness, takes his good old earth fishing gear out of his locker. It doesn't take long for him to link the near-invisible wires with the project he's assigned to, and soon enough the scientists used the hundreds of meters of nylon wire to lay a network of trapwires around the base, linked to an extremely annoying buzzer inside. As an extra, some snare traps are laid out in the forest. (1d100 = 87,99)

The scientists find some ways to improve the vehicles, especially the car can be made a whole let better. However, it'll propbably have to wait untill after the expedition. (1d100 = 60)

The miners return with quite some seeds, even a bag of pineapple seeds. Hmmmm, pineapple. Except Frank's group.  Somebody seen Frank? (9d100 = 39,46,6,41,21,69,96,2,60)

The car and buggy soon arrive at the SMA bunker, and contact with the tactician is still perfect.

Well, this is it. I suggest we begin this turn.

Have the sharpshooter and the medic suit up, one in the Hegemony's suit, and the other in a suit attuned to the same frequency. Have the sharpshooter carry the rifle and a pistol as a sidearm. Have the medic have a pistol as a sidearm.

Have them attach the cart to the trike, and load it up with 35 coil shells, 25 mossena cartridges, and 1 mossena rifle. For food and water, bring 20 food and 20 water (These supplies should be able to feed 2 people for 10 turns.)

When everyone is ready, leave to head south. If split up at the beginning, RV at the substation, then continue south. Continue south for two turns, or until they encounter the city or any civilians still alive.

Have the 5 privates and the other sharpshooter go out to gather scrap. Take a rifle, three coil rifles, and a pistol.

Have 10 crafters build the workshop.

Have 5 crafters and 8 traders begin digging trenches around the trade depot. Leave space for a vehicle to get through.

Have 15 scientists begin designing the dual-barrel coil-rifle turret that can be mounted on a swivel turret in fixed emplacements.

Have another 5 scientists begin researching basic propellants. How to manufacture them, what to manufacture them from, etc. Try to see if there is any fuel left in the jetpack to examine.

Have 30 miners begin digging more farm plots.

Have 8 miners begin planting corn.

Have 2 of the traders care for the 4 HW miners.


Alright, so we set out today. If you need to, refill your food and water from my stocks. Keep in mind a person eats one food and drinks 1 water per turn. If you take 20 f/w, you can feed 2 people for 10 turns, or 4 people for 5.

My plan is this: We continue south for 1 turn less than half of our supplies, or until we encounter the city. We explore until we reach the limit of our rations. So say we have enough rations for 10 turns. It takes us 3 turns to reach the city. That gives us 4 turns to explore, and 3 turns to head back. If everyone suits up, we have one extra day. If you don't have enough suits, use mine, attuned to Nirur Torir's signal.

We should have enough ammo to get through the expedition. On the chance that we don't, scavenge any from dead policemen/raiders/abandoned structures. I'm sure any police stations or corporate security offices will have armories.

[inteuniso]

So... Nirur, x2? You guys ready?

[x2yzh9]

Populus of Palus\

Have 13 crafters work on refining scrap.

Have 19 scientists plant all seeds

Have everyone else help refine scrap

And finally have my 2 miners at the SMA base suit up from a borrowed intuenso suit.

[Nirur Torir]

Torir Hegemony

Oops. The problem with reading the turn, then posting a response slightly later. Sorry.

My away team will need to borrow three suits if we're all getting suited up.

5 farmers will watch the current crops and plant seeds.

1 tactician will man the command center.

20 miners will mine aluminum from the bunker map.

8 traders stand guard

10 miners will gather wood.

Remaining miners will look for Frank's group while armed.

Crafters will craft more crossbows. One can never have enough crossbows.

Scientists will work on an improved water purifier plan.

I'm working on the next turn inbetween studying - have one hell of an exam next week. Don't know when next update will be ready, though it will be a biggie :p

Blasting a raider in the face with a shotgun is pure awesome. Your soldiers can testify that. They bring three corpses with them, though in all the commotion, have no scrap. (1d100 = 16)

The crafters start building the workshop, and the work is nearly finished when they realize they are missing some important tools... They need machines, real machines, Black&Decker machines, no hand-powered medieval drills! (2d100 = 10,35)

The trenches come along fine. Very fine. Untill some dumbass trader diggs a tad to far and the whole depot comes crashing down... Luckily, nobody was injured. (2d100 = 86,1)

Aha, finally! A workable design for a coil turret emplacement! It needs plastics to build, can pivot on the spot, and needs to be manned - though it could hold a much heavier or stronger coilgun than the ones yyou currently have. (3d100 = 93,35,50)

The restants of fuel in the jetpack are interesting, and your scientists work hard on deciphering the formula, though it's very hard to find all the components in it. (1d100 = 39)

The farm plots are dug out further, although it's an extremely boring job. (3d100 = 40,52,20)

I'm guessing you want to plant potatoes instead? Not that it matters, the miners never planted before and have to replant every single seed... No wonder only a few plants get planted. (1d100 = 16)

The miners are happy with the company and the care. (1d100 = 33)

Finally, with enough help, the refining goes fast. By evening, all metal is in neat bars, even the platinum was molten with aid of a ridiculously overheating furnace. (3d100 = 93,22,73)

There were no seeds left. The scientists decide to do some tests on the hazels, and they have more succes than with the strawberries. The genome of a hazelnut is easily mutatable, and once they get some chemicals, they can start experimenting with the hazel genome... (4d100 = 71,79,89,37)

The farmers love pineapple as much as I do, and decide to plant these first. Being farmers, they can't really fail in putting seeds in the ground. (1d100 = 62)

Not only is the aluminium vein still rich in ore, the miners also encounter a vein of iron crossing it! (4d100 = 18,50,96,91)

The traders, being bored with having to guard the bunker, decide to clear out the forest nearby - an attack from over the fields would be noticed anyway. They return with a boar, having a crossbow bolt sticking out of its left eye. (1d100 = 89)

The miners, gathering wood in the forest, join the traders when they have enough, and helped them distract the giant animal. (1d100 = 87)

With the wood your miners gathered, the crafters get to crossbowmaking again - no less than 32 new pieces are added to your weapon stock, and one of the crafters was so proud of his best crossbow that he made a scope for it! (4d100 = 71,79,89,37)

The scientists, after a lot of sketches and boring lectures, come up with a decent waterfilter, with a 100/day capacity. (4d100 = 45,58,20,14)
