Yay! This is back! :D

I vote that whatever our uniform turns out to be it should feature dramatic cloaks or capes.

Our logo should be the mythological Chimera.

For modules, yea, power and accommodation are the ones needed. But more importantly, we REALLY need to look into getting a library of useful old public domain animal genomes from earth!

Would it be worth getting one of the more expensive power stations rather than basic to take advantage of the efficiency improvement?

You do have a point. I vote we get a second tier Power point.

Colony:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Everything proceeds as normal except for the return of the scouting party.

You talk to them about what they found to the south east.
South East:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Apparently they found some stone pillars. They say they looked old which suprises you because as far as you know the colonisation of this world only started recently. They also found a new plant!

They brought you back a sample as you always want samples and they didn't want to have to make two trips. The plant has many blue stems which have clumps of orange fiber along them. It looks like it would make good cloth.

You contact Kilo-nile and get some quotes regarding maps.

1000yl for a satalite image of the local area (local area is about 20 panels in every direction).
3000yl for a map that shows human settlments and size in the local area.
4500yl for a package deal including the human settlment map the satalite photo and a elevation map of the local area.
100,000yl for a complete map of your continent.

You also think about uniforms and logos. While nothing is set in stone yet you know you want some capes or cloaks, and possibley some camouflage. You think a Chimera would look good on your logo, nothing says cloning colony like a lion, snake, goat monster.

Finaly you order a Normal Power Plant. You won't have to worry about power for a while that way. (-2000 yollarsyl) You need to figure out where you want it to go.

It will arrive next turn.


You currently have 1665 yollars

For modules, yea, power and accommodation are the ones needed. But more importantly, we REALLY need to look into getting a library of useful old public domain animal genomes from earth!

agreed on all counts. the powerplant thing seems important though. I think we should consider getting as good as we can, and keep our basic as backup.

From the description I assume the plant is a simple steam powered concentrated solar array, with an option of heating the steam with flammables. Is there the possibility of using radioactive materials as a heat source, such as plutonium? If we find a uranium deposit, we could buy graphite, and construct a makeshift breeder pile. We could even pipe water through the pile, and back to the power plant. Then, we could separate out the plutonium using the bismuth phosphate method, or possibly something safer. That plutonium could be forged into rods, and then surrounded by platinum-rhodium thermocouples, for a constant mid voltage flow.

This would, of course, require us to be familiar with alloying, and be able to produce several chemicals in pure form. I suggest we attempt to form alcohol from a portion of our crops. Search for a possible yeast-like organism in the soil. do we have a microscope? If we get something that can break our food down into volatile hydrocarbons, we could distill it and use it to synthesize various chemicals

Edit: Is that smoke in the distance?

I don't think Ardin would know how to do any of those things, he's more of a genetics guy. Distilling alcohol would be fine though since that is high school science class stuff.

Also yes that's smoke it was explained back here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=97703.msg2932395#msg2932395

EDIT: Also the power plants get energy from light through future tech (also known as magic).

Thanks! that's good to know.

What training would a clone need to carefully and systematically excavate and record an archeological site? Might be useful later to wall the site off with cement or stone (or both) and send a few clones over to dig layer by layer, and send their findings back to base via electronic comunication.

Do our clones have walky talkies? Do we need to buy those?

Also, analyze the plant.
