While as an eccentric scientist person we should keep the old adage "Knowledge is power" in mind, if we sell the documents for 2500 yollars we will have ~2900 yollars and can get:

• 1 Basic Mining Module
• 1 Education Attachment
• 1 Genetic modifier update for our Cloning Module
• 1 Lifeform analyser update for our Cloning Module
• 1 Flora Analyser update for our Agriculture Module

for 2750 yollars, which will allow us to get a few blueprints with our remaining funds.

[Tiruin]

So list so far:

> Give away that Pink Box for 2500 yollars!
> Either discuss on the papers (after we had advertised it) for a copy of those research documents BUT lower reward pay
> Get the Basic Mining Mod instead of Omnicorp basic smelter and 5 Donnie's diggers
> The complete opposite of the second choice

Make the Trade. but make sure your combat clones do it, Away from the colony. That way while they'll know the general location but not exactly where you are. Don't do it in person. We can make more clones but we can't replace our scientist. Be specific in your orders to the clones so you don't get ripped off. Dno't bother copying the papers not worth it.

Note: As stated, we are an underdeveloped colony. We need an edge, right now if possible. Our leader is an eccentric scientist. We have advantages in the field of cloning.

Also, our hunting brings us material for our clones. We still need to order our people around. That means everyone else.

[Evilsx]

Also i will remind you guys that the company is a Weapon company so we could get some "Protection" from the deal

[Tiruin]

Now that you mention it...

Impex Weapons do not want the deal to go through the Colony Ship, the legal route. We are in exile and also do not want the arrangement to be known nor our colony to be found out. The 2500 yollar bonus seems a great start-up for all of us.

Interesting...

I do suspect we are dealing in black market grade stuff, however we did advertise the finding of the pink box.

But, we should not fight if we agree nor try to scam them off. If they can make 2500 yollars, then what match are we to that? Also, eccentric scientist is not evil 

[Evilsx]

I am saying that we get them to get some for there "Product" to us so we can stand better at the Native animals here and incase we get attack

#Edit:Also they just want the research papers, not the rest for the items so just give them the papers

[Alternatecash]

I'm thinking we can trade the papers for some advanced weapon blueprints and some samples. We'll get a leg up on self-defense, and the ability to produce better arms when we have the materials.

Also have 2 combat clones make the trade while the third lurks nearby in the trees and fries them if they try to double cross us.

Turn 32

Your Location: 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This picture is large and may require a small amount scrolling to view unless you have a large monitor.

After some intense negotiations where you manage to talk them into throwing in a normal laser rifle and a laser proof vest you tell Impex that the box is downstream of where you currently are and they transfer you the 2500 yollars. You figure downstream is a good location since it's pretty far away from the colony and you can see it from here so you can watch the transfer from safty if you want.
 
The Impex courier will land at the location you gave them in five turns and then they will take the contents of the box and leave the rifle and vest in the box for you. You suspect that if they don't find the documents they'll swear a terrible vengence.

You use your new money to make the following purchases:

• 1 Basic Mining Module
• 1 Education Attachment
• 1 Genetic modifier update for our Cloning Module
• 1 Lifeform analyser update for our Cloning Module
• 1 Flora Analyser update for our Agriculture Module

for 2750 yollars.

Leaving you with 155 yollars

You send a combat clone back for the box and to tell the clone manning the cloning module to keep gathering more vines but not to activate the cloning process so you can make the most of that education attachment. You and the remaining clone gather samples from the water plants and the slug creatures.

The deadline has passed for physical purchases. But you can still buy blueprints and software upgrades and when the shuttle arrives you will have one more opportunity to sell.
You currently have 155 yollars

Author Notes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I added that bit about stopping the cloning so you would be able to use the nutirents they gather to make worker clones and such without having to stop the basic clones mid development or wait for them to finish. Speaking of which you can cancel that clone in process and get the nutirents and protien back.

I need a location to put the mining module so if someone could provide one that would be good. If you want you can place it out of the main area although since you can only be in one place at once and you don't have any communicators it might be hard keeping tabs on everything.

I guess now i'll have to come up with a system to let you geneticaly modify those clones of yours. With your background you'll be able to do the basic things like making them stronger or have thicker skin and some (but not all) of the more advanced things like giving them extra arms or organs.

[RulerOfNothing]

I would suggest that we put the mining module north of the agriculture module. Also, what is the purpose of crates and planks?

[Evil Lincoln]

Also, what is the purpose of crates and planks?

Barrels and crates would speed up loading times when you are dealing with lots of smaller things like cabbages. And you'd probabley need barrels to transport liquids at all. I put planks in since there wasn't any basic plank like object you could make and they might have uses for building and things.

[RulerOfNothing]

So it would be possible for us to build our own buildings rather than buying them from the colony ship?

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

And I think planks would be of use in making furniture and stuff. And nicer housing. Those modules look sort of ... spartan. I want to see if we can use the utilities from one of the houseing modules to build a victorian manor.

Do the trades As I proposed earlier, Without any mummery or deception. Give them the documents.

This. We're eccentric, not suicidal. Pissing off a major weapons corp would END US. So, continue raping the land harvesting raw materials. We need a strong infrastructure. Have we explored to the North yet?

[Flying Dice]

Trade the documents, wait 1 turn after the corp. representative departs, then retrieve the rest of the payment with the combat clone. Have the combat clone equip the normal laser rifle and laser-proof vest upon retrieval, and carry the basic laser rifle back to the colony.

Place the BMM in map coordinate E5.

[RulerOfNothing]

While we're finishing off our arrangement with the weapon people, we should start thinking about what research we can now engage in, and how to further expand our research capabilities. I think we should think about how to make a research & development module ourselves.
