One of the moons looks like a ball of cheese. The cargo hold won't hold it entirely, but Space Cheese has to be worth SOMETHING.

[Fniff]

Right. Mining time!

[Furtuka]

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESEEEEEEEEEEE I DEMAND TO HELP

[malkomk]

I would like to claim a crewmember: Fortunado Jones, the ship's resident geek programmer. He is always boring people with in-depth technical discussion, and one of his pet projects is tweaking his own companion AI that he carries with him on his high-power palmtop computer.

[ragnarok97071]

Well. Since the Security head is taken, I guess I could be the Shipboard A.I., Since they exist.

Name: GLaDOS

[Fniff]

We are developing quite the sitcom cast here.

Brian: Err, computer? Could you please stop trying to divert the ship into meteors?
GLaDOS: Of course.
Brian: Er...You are still doing it. In fact, you are trying harder. Fortunado!
Fortunado: Yes?
Brian: The computer keeps trying to kill us.
Fortunado: Have you tried restarting the motherboard, and then rebooting the system using an Unix-16-0-05 AI Cleaner?
Brian: ... Fix the bloody thing before we die.

[ragnarok97071]

I wouldn't divert it into meteors!

That would kill me too, and then Science would be hampered.

I would probably fill the ship with a deadly neurotoxin, if it was available, but alas, it is not.

[Fniff]

Of course it's science!

The Science of spaceships vs space rocks.

Plus, GLaDOS has survived much worse. Also she can survive with just 1.1 Volts.

[ragnarok97071]

Drive Core overload would be a VERY hard thing to survive, however.

And I need test subjects.

[Fniff]

This is going to be an interesting game, I know it.

[Aklyon]

(What would the AI do, since we already have a Captain? Also, Unless you give me a name I'm going to use yours, Furtuka.)

Guard Furtuka takes over the second Miner Cannon, and the Cheese Moon is Mined. The Cargo hold is about half full now, the moon a fourth missing. Zik asks why moon food would be valuable. Comrade Michealson reports on Zik's species.

The other moons are average in makeup, being about 75% rock and 25% craters.

Stats of the Reinheart of Revenge!, a medium-class Explorer:
Engines: Standard Explorer Type-D {lowest rank, stock}
Quantum Warpage Device: Basic. Fully Charged! {still requires its own engineer corps to understand it, though.}
Cargo: Half full of Cheese Moon chunks.
Sensor array: Standard Explorer Class-C {basic equipment. Long Range, Short Range, passive, active, infrared, ultraviolet, etc}

Weaponry:
Miner Cannons x2 {for Mining the asteroids and such}
Ionic Blast Cannon [inactive due to repairs] {AOE generic ion cannon}
'Borrowed' Warship-class Blasta Smasha {High-powered space railgun/robohammer, basically.}

"The status screen does not read me as existing. It must be malfunctioning. Permission to begin testing as to why it has betrayed us by doing so?"

[Aklyon]

"It hasn't updated yet because I haven't been up there to do so because I wanted to see what Cheese Moon tasted like first!" the Captain says over the walkie talkie-like communicator.

[ragnarok97071]

"Oh. Can I run the tests anyway?"

[Aklyon]

"Determine how much this is worth first."
