TURN 4: Stuff happens
Plug the AI back in.
Search for some spare paarts for the comms. system.
Replace the Comm System.
Find the crew, help with anything anyone needs help with.
Head to the commander and see what help I can give and see what's up with comms.
[6]Spare parts found.In fact, you find a complete preassembled back up comm system. You still have to connect it though.
[6]You manage to repair the commsystem. Also, thanks to some smart modifications, there's now a seperate array for crew communications, ensuring that everyone is always able to talk to each other.
[2] The crew is quite capable of dealing whit their problems themselves, which is good since you managed to take the wrong turn and didn't get anywhere.
[5] All commsystems are functional, you therefore decide to look for a new communicator, which you easily find.
Get fed up with being worthless, and go check stocks again, just for something to do.
Everythings okay in the stores.
If I don't post an action for the next turn, AI me, don't wait.
Boris makes a joke to the doctor, but the bandages drown out what you presume is the important parts.
"Heard joke before... *muffled* astronaut *muffled* donkey *muffled* of the world..." He chuckles and waves, and walks out.
Boris thinks - "if something hit the ship, there might be some cargo which was dislodged. Debris could be very bad - might cause more damage if stuff runs into things"
Boris makes sure all the large cargo is still strapped/clamped in place.
[5]All cargo is fine and safely secured.

- The MCS
Size: 70 meter long
Diameter: 20 Meter
Appareance: The MCS is very cylindrical. It looks like an extralarge spaceshuttle(whitout booster tanks). It has retractable wings and a rudder yet still looks like a giant cigar.
Purpose: The MCS is supposed to deliver a crew of 7 to Mars, and supply the resources to build a permanent base there.
Floor layout: While the MCS is primarly designed to operate in space , it does have a landing gear which we will use to define up, down. Because of the artificial gravity that will be in effect all the time. All floors are aligned away from the center of the ship. This does mean that some floors are pependicular to each other or sometimes even upside down.
Locations inside the ship:
-AI control room: Completly central in the ship
-Habitation room: The central habitation room, surrounded by the (small,like really small)chambers of the crewmembers lies low,central in the ship.Just above the landing gear.
-Greenhouse: Portside of the ship,more towards the back of the ship
------->Hydroponics deck(-1 damage resistance)
-Foodstore: Next to greenhouse, but closer to the center
-OpenGPAI storage room: On top of the ship, close to the nose cone, can be used as an airlock
-Observation deck: Connected the open GPAI storage room(can be locked though, so no need to vacuum this one)
-Labs:Frontside of the ship, portside
-Fission power generator: Center back of the ship, close to the engines
------> Main breaker room
-Life support: Center front of the ship
-Medical Room: Starboard
-Return vehicle(smaller): Top Back of the ship
-Back-up control room(Manned): Between the lifesupport and the AI
-Cargo rooms: Multiple rooms, spread through the ship.

Name: Nathaniel Hoke
Nation: Born in Space, ZG.
Traits: (Rollover for details) ZG Tolerant,Perfect Reflexes, ZG Atrophy
Bio: Living on an old commercial orbital Nathaniel was an unruly child and a member of the station's ZG kid gang, the Cliff Swallows. Acrobatic in the station's gravity devoid main bays it was only after his 16 birthday -and enrollment into the Pilot's academy- that he realized what full G was. Nathaniel subsequently spent three years of his life undergoing painful procedures to be able to withstand the 50%EG required for military pilots.
He didn't make the cut.
Taking a few commercial jobs here and there Nathaniel has enjoyed a reputation as a crack pilot for specialty runs, particularly on Zero or partial G runs. Six months after his 27th birthday Nathaniel has been hired onto the Mars expedition, the ship's gravity still gives him trouble but thanks to his military training regimen he can usually manage to get around if he doesn't hurry.

Since there's not much to do on the ship, here are 3 options
1.) 5 1day turns then orbit then landing (These turns can be used for lots of things, compound actions allowed, but be clear please(also, something that can be done in a day)
2) SKip to mars orbit( You're allowed to give me a list of things you did in the meantime)
3) Skip to mars surface
