Turn 17
Ok, building a website as you probably know at the moment
here, at the moment I've got a front page, I've also managed to create a tiny java script which changes the CSS (different ones can have different art murals, colours, fonts, ect.) every second (will modify to every hour or day soon as well as actual designs rather than what's currently there, refresh the website a few times to see what I mean) and all the links we'll need for now, the IRC and forum aren't there yet because of some technical difficulties that I'm waiting in an E-mail for, once that's sorted though they should go up quickly and we'll almost be ready to roll.
Also I've noticed $1.60 has been coming out of my bank every day since I brought the website which I thought I only had to pay for yearly so definitely going to need advertising (only have $27.17 left in my account after buying the other bits which in the end came too $44.79 so hopefully I can get the money coming in soon). Anyway I figured rather than waiting for the hosting people to E-mail me and not doing much I should actually post the turn I had hanging around on my computer so here you go (sorry it took so long):
Date: 9th February 2786 11 AM
Those currently on board Hope work on attaching wheels to Hope so it can be pulled along whilst Pyrodesu, Bill and Edio make haste to their aid with two shuttles and an armed blimp, when they arrive they brutally assault Hubris kicking him repeatedly as he cries out "I'm not Hubris! I'm Drago!" his cries are however ignored and as the merciless beating continues he loses consciousness and soon after dies from internal bleeding, Areyoua joins in and keeps quiet afterwards hoping the others won't remember the part he played in it all.
Another of the drone's (similar to the one found on the way to MP) appeared in the meantime and shot half a dozen minuscule non-lethal bullets into Jack, again the drone fell to the floor and short-circuited. Jack seems ok and later goes around and asks each member of habitat hope what the spawners are (you can reply by PM to this, send a copy to me if you do).

You have the Jenny Haniver
On the way back Pyrodesu and Bill attempt to work on a concept one of them had for metal foam but don't get very far due to lack of the correct facilities (10% done) and so research the mineral drill which is mostly theoretical, they come up with the equivalent of an Archimedes screw powered by an engine motor, they just need to build one for testing though it should work (90% done) also when the convoy stopped one night they got around to testing the "hand" scanner, by that they actually meant it only takes two people to carry:
Bill dropped the large gong on the ground whilst the concave drum was carefully set up beside it, Pyro emptied his canteen into it then raised a hammer and struck the gong, the water vibrated a bit but stayed mostly still then after the two scientists count 23 seconds whilst watching the water which then ripples again as the sound-wave echoes back "long way down to the bedrock then". They continue doing this for a few hours in nearby locations getting readings of 22-25 seconds, towards the end however they get a measurement of 8 seconds, they both glance at each other and then start doing tests less than a meter apart mapping out a dense material 4 seconds below the surface which appears to snake around, possibly a mineral vein, they would've investigated further but dawn was breaking and it was time to move out.

The large convoy wears down your resources pretty heavily by the time you reach Machu Pichu but at least your back you figure, the engine room raises to security level 2 as the blue habitat is rolled in so you won't be able to access that for 5 days, you ask about getting parts from it but the senior officer scoffs "So you do a job, screw it up and then expect both help pay and first pick over the spoils? Not happening, tell you what: you can have the blue's tank tracks and your crappy old wheel for free, I'll chuck in the machine-gun too for 30 coins". You pool together the money you already had, what you were just paid and adwarf's wages and realize you have a total of 143 coins, not bad. Adwarf also reckons he can repair the engine in three days, if he had a couple of assistants it would only take one.
