1-3. You speak with your contact back at Starstead and find that the temple does not know more than normal science does. For the most part impossible elements contain a subatomic particle that orbits a certain element and changes how it interacts with the physical universe. +8.7 Knowledge: Impossible Elements

4. You take most of the day to teach the workers how to gather the wisp light, mainly by just capping buckets. Mainly it is all about gathering it and then sealing whatever it is in so it doesn't spill. The workers quickly take to it, and even bring you a unit of Wisp Light. +1 Unit wisp light, workers now double their bonus to aiding in wisp light gathering.

5. You find that adding chemicals does nothing, at least not the normal atmospheric chemicals.

Adding fluff: You continue to track the robot, weaving your way between the trees and rocks. The tracks are muddied as, apparently, someone ran over them with the quadbike. You lose the trail and, strangely, don't see the robot around the camp that night.

>>50739

(Sorry I forgot about Scotch) As you get back from the exploration mission you find that the transport has already landed and has been unloading it's cargo, mainly for the construction robot. You do, however, see the fine curves of a young woman. She is wearing some somewhat tight fitting jeans and a somewhat loose shirt, more necessary in the deserts of Starstead than here, and a pistol holstered on her waiste. Her piercing green eyes and sandy blond hair, tied back in a braid, is almost as striking as the sucker punch she lands on you. You forgot that while she is the daughter of a corporate founder almost as big a gun nut as those robots made of guns she also ran off to be a bounty hunter. "So, this is where ya fook'n run off ta. Left me in the bed not even a call, then I hear ya need some help from the fook'n cult of ascension loonies. Now yer gonna treat me to a drink and tell me what the fook is going on, then I'll kick ya ass." The wry smile tells you that, like the last time, she is neither lying nor taking no as an answer.

1. Sadly that species still doesn't exist in this universe, but you do get some wood from starstead ordered. It will be here next turn and cost 100,000 credits.

5. You continue to work but get distracted at the sudden discovery that nearly destroyed part of the lab. When you used the electricity on the wisp light it changed color and, after finally getting a high enough pressure with your lab equipment to make a small sample, you find that this is absolutely not the case for the solid sample.

Wisp light harvesting: +10

>>51046

1. You clear the ground around the training ground of the bamboo like trees. It doesn't work as well as you would think as the 'trees' bend and twist with every tooth that goes through it. It takes some getting used to. Looking at the 'trees' it really does look like reeds, as far as you can tell you are no expert, and it has a lot of water in it.

+20 bambo trees.

2&3. You get some work done on the turbine sections but realize that you did not account for the possibility of flooding from warmer or stormy seasons. You spend most of the day fixing that mistake. 3/6 (add this to your actions so I don't have to go back.)

>>51051

1-3. You attempt some tests on the impossible elements that you have and find that there are no universal reactions for any of them. It does not help that you do not have the equipment to do experiments on subatomic particles. +24.1 Knowledge Impossible Elements.

4. You find that it can be sustained, but not much else as it can't be sustained long.

5. You get 7 units of Wisp Light, 5 from the workers working all day.

6. You find out that you have a bad habit of mumbling when annoyed, and in highly technical terms. You don't get much done and now the workers are starting to think you are a little off your rocker, more so than usual. (-10 to worker actions you assign next turn)

>>51053

1. You and the other workers mine 2 units of copper ore. You know that if you can refine it or work it into some nice art you can probably get a good price for it.

2&3 You find a good spot and clear the land with the help of the construction bot. It will need to be flattened a bit but otherwise it is good. You also find that the copper vein which is nearby also stretches down under the land.

>>51064

1&2. You make quick progress, adding the laser tech to your arm cybernetics and finding that the lasers work more like photon cannons, sending a large amount of photons in a blast rather than a stream. Hooking it up to your the wisp light pipes you are able to sustain the laser for far longer with little issue. +Cybernetic; Palm lasers +20 to combat.

3. You arn't an astrophysicist and have no idea.

4. +0.4

1 Perhaps it was time to take up Art? Using what tools and equipment we have among the mining armors, and Scotch's beauty as my muse, perhaps I can turn the copper ore into a sensual copper statue? the first step would be to visualize and organize a plan of attack upon the ore.

2 Put in an order for a forge unit. The more self sufficient we can become the better off the colony is after all. If we have this much malleable metal around then its obvious we could use one.

Scotch takes a bit to think about your request, early the next day she finally speaks to you again. "Alright, I'll accept if you can answer me a question. What's my name?"

1. Sadly no one in the colony is that good at art, and this include you. You also don't have anything in the way of artistic tools. You find out very quickly that a chainsaw may work for ice but not for rock. +5 Sculpting.

2. You put in word about the copper to the Starstead command and get back: "Will do, costs will be taken out of mission funds. Expect delivery in a few days."

3. You get to work with basic tools, since the construction bot is working on the training course, and get it relatively flat. You think it will work for construction.

4. You get back a response from the starstead command: "An asteroid, really? We'll check it out. Stay tight and hope it doesn't hit you directly."

5. You start making a plan, then realize just how many holes there are in that plan. You would need space suits, which you don't have, a bomb, which you don't have, a lot of knowledge you don't have, and people who believe what you are saying. Looking at the eyes of the 20 helpers and Scotch they look skeptical. Well, Scotch is laughing.

>>51251

1-5. You create the concrete pillars and they hold, for now. Theoretically it should be fine, not as good as steel reinforced but it shouldn't fall apart. If it takes a good enough hit the reeds are certainly not going to be that much of a help.

>>51255

1-3. You experiment with the impossible elements you have. Even though you have such a meager lab you are able to turn the hydrogen into a liquid and gas state. It retains the electric quality it has in a solid state. It also settles into a dust if it is in a larger chamber than when it started. Sadly you can't reach the temperatures needed to melt the silicon crystals or the new metal. You planned to do more but you got distracted by a ping on the IE radar, from the asteroid.

4. Taking a look at the cybernetics you find that it is certainly possible to increase them in size. The hard part is going to be getting a sizeable crystal to use as the focus and enough wisp light to act as a recharging system. You have some designs. 2/?

5. You get the response: "We'll check your funds and see what you can afford. What you looking for in particular?"

6. You return to your days in college and add to your word count like there is no tomorrow. +Fluffed Report

W: The workers were dragged off, not at all reluctantly, by Captain Pine to work on his house. They don't gather any samples for obvious reasons.

>>51354

1. Using your experience making the smaller version of the damn thing you fix some issues in the doctor's design usually seen in scaling up a project. It is still only a design, and requiring materials you do not have on hand. 3/?

2. You start getting ideas after hearing about his 'Upgradium', and taking your eyes off your cannon, but realize that making alloys is beyond the current capabilities of your colony. You sadly sit down and do something else. (You may invoke this 96 when the colony has a furnace to make alloys.)

3. You send out balloons looking for weather phenomenon since you still only have weather balloons. You find that, and have observed, that it does not actually rain that much for a planet with so much water on the surface. You start to suspect that the planet has larger, less frequent, storms that will pass through but see no signs of them yet.

4. You tinker, mainly getting more power draw to your laser cannons because fuck you laser canons. It doesn't help much but maybe you can fine tune it more, or break it you arn't sure. +7.7 Cybernetics Engineering.

The Asteroid continues it's approach. 3 turns.

We have space age computation technology in orbit as we speak, that should be able to give me this information in no time at all. Tell me where the asteroid is going to land. We could be washed away in a tsunami, the base broken by massive earthquakes, the sun rays obscured by dust or vapor that could lasts for months or years, during which we become without power and reliant on whatever can be delivered while we try to build up infrastructure, or in the case of the robots, to ration further operational capacity. It could result in a nuclear winter as the planet loses energy trapped in the atmosphere to the void of space when momentarily pierced by the asteroid. Its not that god damn hard. You wanna bring low a planet bound people? Drop big damn rocks on them."

I will put together an Emergency Power Plan to ration power to enable the robots and vital systems to continue functioning relying on the ship in orbit to produce power which is to be delivered by batteries which we will use to power the base.
