12,000 years ago humans enter this universe through a natural wormhole found at the edge of the Alpha Centauri system. Science vessels were sent through to a distant galaxy. These scout teams surveyed the star system they were in and scattered to other systems to find out more of this galaxy. However, they found their their projections for the wormhole to stay open were wrong and their way home was gone. The scientists gave in to panic and infighting, scattering to distant corners of their new galaxy to settle planets that seemed habitable. The ancestors of the those who settled Starstead chose the desert planet in the Aeon system. They chose a planet with large amounts of visible Ionic Hydrogen and Grav Crystals, materials containing the Impossible particle that changes normal materials into physics defying materials. The ruins of the their original ship were found in the desert next to a dried up oasis after approximately ten thousand years. The humans spread throughout Starstead and formed new civilizations, rising and falling around the oasis that supported them, the artificial intelligence awakened from the ship escaping into the desert to form it's own civilization. Now the year is 9,086 and the humans and AI of Starstead have rediscovered the jump drive and reached for the stars once again.
You are one of the brave souls to set up a permanent residence outside of the Aeon star system. You are a member, or associate, of the Temple of Ascendancy. It is debated whether the Temple is a religion or not as it only preaches that men can become as gods and that the Impossible particle can lead to greater and fantastical forms of evolution. You have been chosen to become a part of the Temple's first extra-solar commune. Good luck explorer, and try not to get killed by any aliens.

Da Rules:
Actions and turns-
Every turn is considered a standard day, 24 hours. You can take as many actions as you want with the DC to get a success being the number of actions taken times 10. It is assumed you eat, drink, and sleep or recharge. You can say you forgo sleep or rest to get -20 to the DC for all actions and this can make the DC lower than 0. You will get a -20 to all actions the next turn that increases by another 20 each turn you do not rest.
It is assumed you eat and drink 1 unit of food and water each turn, or consume 1 unit of power each turn. You can state that you forgo eating or drinking to reduce consumption but your thirst and hunger will increase. Long term forgoing of eating or drinking can lead to penalties.
Free actions can occur sometimes. These actions do not increase the DC for actions.
Skills:
Skills are what you are good at. You can use an action to train a skill, getting you an increase to the skill equal to 1/10 of what you rolled. You also get 1/10 the difference between what you rolled and what you needed for the next result for failing an action based on that skill.
- Fluff for your actions may help or hurt you.
- Good rolls will not save you from stupid actions.

Name: George Pine
Age: 29
Backstory: One of the youngest accomplished officers of his generation Captain George Pine, or Colonel of Volunteers George Pine to his veterans of the Second Deathborg Wars. A popular war hero and decorated for gallantry and courage in devoting his men to wave after wave of assaults on fortified Deathborg positions. This prevented the Deathborg menace from escaping the city which allowed Pine's ship, The Deliverer, to launch a successful orbital bombardment on the occupied city of New Durga resulting in a minuscule several million casualties among the local population. Rather then take a cushy desk job on an inner world base he decided to join the Temple's extra-solar commune. There would be danger of the a frontier world and the excitement of founding the civilization that would carry on the memory of his achievements.

-Name: Jonathan Derevi
-Age: 23
-Backstory: Jonathan is an evangelical ascensionist who, by ways of inheritance, was able to lay his hands on state of the art cybernetics, right on the bleeding edge of science which he himself works on and improves. Now as one of the few people who willingly transformed large parts of his body into mechanics, he was a prime target to be brought along by the Temple of Ascendancy, and he considers it a great honor to have been picked by them.
Suitcases:
-Suitcase with the proper tools to perform maintenance and experiment with the cybernetics he has, and a tablet to interface with them.
-Suitcase with casual wear and formal Temple of Ascendancy robes, alongside a small necklace with a vial of Ionic Hydrogen in it, a sort of holy symbol.
-Suitcase with spare parts for cybernetics, more mundane tools for more mundane mechanics and measuring devices for picking out nearby impossible materials.

Name: Darby Richards
Age: 22
Backstory: Darby Richards is not part of the ascension cult. In fact he isnt quite sure what they even believe in. Darby was a young man without a career or degree and needed work. Luckily (or unluckily) for him, he saw an ad online. "Be a hero, Join the Future! Custodian positions needed." What the ad actually should have said was "Human Custodian is a glamorous name for Janitor. No one else will leave the solar system to clean shit out of toilets, so we are desperate." Darby needed money and didnt care much for Starstead, might as well, he thought before clicking "Apply Here"
Darby isnt the smartest tool in the shed but makes the best of life and is light hearted with a good sense of humor. He doesn't need much and makes the best out of even the worst situations.

Backstory: Vasily was a biologist who studied extensively the effects of the impossible elements on the body. His study on natives who had been growing their crops in soil rich with I.E garnered much attention, especially from the Temple of Ascendency who had then quickly targeted him for recruitment. Seeing how their goals meshed well with his research he was a quick convert and had joined the first wave of expansion.

You guys can start discussing how to use the money for supplies.
For my laziness most things are going to be a slightly higher tech version of their current counterpart, and the same amount of Credits as their counterpart in USD.
Drone equipment such as autonomous vehicles exist and cost 4x their base price. Run it by me if you have questions.
Raw Ionic Hydrogen and Grav Crystals can also be bought.
Ionic Hydrogen: 3500 C per unit (about 100 lb)
Grav Crystals: 1,900 C for 1 unit (about 1lb) low grade small crystals.

Personal scanners for 31,998 credits each, capable of broad scans and deeper high resolution scans underground. The computers for the scanners can link to the supercomputer and make use of its superior calculating abilities. A larger ATV mounted version should be possible, and an ATV itself being anywhere from six to fourteen thousand credits we can use these to cover ground ourselves or take it off and explore openings in the ground.
Near-Space High-Altitude Weather Balloons cost 200-400 credits each and we can set them up ourselves around the planet and let the computer read then display the weather and near-space anomalies and tell us what it means. Considering experts in these fields have not stepped forward it would be prudent to have the Supercomputer ready.

"AI" (Cyborg secretly)
Name: Mister Fister Unit 78-4B (John Lastowitz)
Description: A tall, white humanoid Robot, titanium alloy frame with stainless steel plating. Organic core inside armored head, hidden from conventional scans by unknown material.
Backstory: Mister Fister is the top of the line companion and security model used by both AI and humans for day to day tasks and routine security operations. Though the line does have one secret. They are the first in a line of new cybernetic units being developed in secret by the AI of Aeon, the computers realizing the wetware computing systems do have some use after all, being both able to relate to humans better and react more quickly to new situations then a fresh computer. The other grisly secret is how they are made. Citizens of Aeon are snatched in the night by rouge AI, and taken to their manufactorum cities where they are mind wiped and installed as wetware in the Mister Fister line of "robots". Though as this was a new process, it didn't always take fully, and some of the organics old memories began to leak though. The AI called this liabilities "Bleeders" both for their memory bleed and smartly point at their organic roots, and sought them down mercilessly to keep their experiments secret. One such Bleed was Unit 78-4B, but unlike others he didn't bleed slowly, but his memories all returned at once. He kept this secret under wraps, executing the same routines as when he was merely a "robot", but he knew that the jig would be up eventually, so acted proactively and changed a log on the Ascendancy Initiative to place himself on the ships leaving Aeon, and away from the AI that now hunted him. The solider in a previous life was now a robot on the first colony ship departing Aeon for parts unknown.

I am not sure if we need the barracks since we have a locker room that can fit the guns and I believe the suits. If need be I was thinking we could just turn the locker room into something secure ourselves.
A prefab vinyl garage will be 25,000 can store 4 cars, so that seems doable.
(Random was trying to determine if "a more secure storage for the guns and military exosuits and not a strong defensive position, but it probably wouldnt hurt if it had some defenses and some good cover and shot holes, maybe a deploy-able hallway heavy machine-gun. So I guess a small or medium sized version since we don't have much to hold in it." was possible)
200 2 Welding Kits
100 2 Soldering Kits
600 2 Power Tool sets
90 2 Electronic Repair Kits

Considering that some high elevation land would be good to avoid storm damage and flooding in general on this world and that this area has rivers use I suggest settling in this spot here marked by red, which has rivers we can use for fresh water and has tier 5 elevation with plenty of space and ready access to the mainland and mountains.

Looking out the window and seeing the large insectoids George Pine puts his hand on his chin, letting out the sound of a man considering pest control or bug hunting.
"I have it in mind to see if those bugs will be a boon or a bane to our expedition."
He paces to the left and then to the right as he nods his head.
"Determine threat, Invalidate target, Capture remains, Know the enemy. or D.I.C.K. as shortened for field operations. I need some men to do some D.I.C.K. work in the field. Someone to bring
down a couple bugs and cover each others backs until we know if the bugs are a threat, to bring the dead or incapacitated enemy to our biologist on the commune, one Vasily Sokol, so that he can determine the nature of these bugs and if they are edible, have been exposed to impossible particles, etc. etc." He waves his hand before raising a finger.
"I need volunteers. Preferably someone to take a clean shot on the bugs occupying the space for our prefab structures, someone to watch the shooter's back, finally someone to transport and clean up the messes that transporting it to the lab will create. While all that is underway our mechanically gifted members can prepare the prefabs and our scientifically gifted members can prepare to poke at the bugs. We will be at yellow alert for the time being as the bugs could turn out to be a threat. Does anyone take issue with these priorities or how they will be carried out?"

Name: George Pine
Age: 29
Backstory: One of the youngest accomplished officers of his generation Captain George Pine, or Colonel of Volunteers George Pine to his veterans of the Second Deathborg Wars. A popular war hero and decorated for gallantry and courage in devoting his men to wave after wave of assaults on fortified Deathborg positions. This prevented the Deathborg menace from escaping the city which allowed Pine's ship, The Deliverer, to launch a successful orbital bombardment on the occupied city of New Durga resulting in a minuscule several million casualties among the local population. Rather then take a cushy desk job on an inner world base he decided to join the Temple's extra-solar commune. There would be danger of the a frontier world and the excitement of founding the civilization that would carry on the memory of his achievements.
+Inventory:
two jump suits; one formal and one casual, a copy of George Pine's Big Book of War, and a Stillsuit.
diamond focused laser gun and its ammo
5 Spare batteries for laser rifle. 5/5 charges each.
Darius requires a small amount of Ionic Hydrogen in his food every few days, at least, to stay healthy. He can produce and release bio-electricity.
+Bonus: Every mission is a suicide mission - You can reroll a combat action once per turn, however damage to you, people under your command, and/or civilians will be doubled.
1 Get myself suited up in one of the military exosuits for this bug hunt, we have a robot ready to fist any bugs that get close but if things get messy its always good to have some armor. +5 Military Knowledge
2 Get the people who are coming into squad formation with the shooters where they need to be and the robot where he should be and make sure they stay that way, eyes on our flanks looking out for bugs ready to call them out to the shooters and the robot. +5 tactics
3 Shoot some bugs once everyone is ready. I've got my diamond tipped laser rifle. +10 Longarms

Name: Vasily Sokol
Age: 25
Backstory: Vasily was a biologist who studied extensively the effects of the impossible elements on the body. His study on natives who had been growing their crops in soil rich with I.E garnered much attention, especially from the Temple of Ascendency who had then quickly targeted him for recruitment. Seeing how their goals meshed well with his research he was a quick convert and had joined the first wave of expansion.

1-3. Jim made sure each of his clips held 10 rounds and clipped in whatever empty spots he could find. Afterwards it was time to go Insect hunting. Maybe he could get 50 kills if he figured out where their weakspot was. Maybe he could hit a few more if he lined up his shots right. And maybe he should save a magazine just in case the things decided to rush them through some hivemind like instinct like ants did. Or maybe, just maybe, he would just shoot shit and see what happened.

"AI" (Cyborg secretly)
Name: Mister Fister Unit 78-4B (John Lastowitz)
Description: A tall, white humanoid Robot, titanium alloy frame with stainless steel plating. Organic core inside armored head, hidden from conventional scans by unknown material.
Backstory: Mister Fister is the top of the line companion and security model used by both AI and humans for day to day tasks and routine security operations. Though the line does have one secret. They are the first in a line of new cybernetic units being developed in secret by the AI of Aeon, the computers realizing the wetware computing systems do have some use after all, being both able to relate to humans better and react more quickly to new situations then a fresh computer. The other grisly secret is how they are made. Citizens of Aeon are snatched in the night by rouge AI, and taken to their manufactorum cities where they are mind wiped and installed as wetware in the Mister Fister line of "robots". Though as this was a new process, it didn't always take fully, and some of the organics old memories began to leak though. The AI called this liabilities "Bleeders" both for their memory bleed and smartly point at their organic roots, and sought them down mercilessly to keep their experiments secret. One such Bleed was Unit 78-4B, but unlike others he didn't bleed slowly, but his memories all returned at once. He kept this secret under wraps, executing the same routines as when he was merely a "robot", but he knew that the jig would be up eventually, so acted proactively and changed a log on the Ascendancy Initiative to place himself on the ships leaving Aeon, and away from the AI that now hunted him. The solider in a previous life was now a robot on the first colony ship departing Aeon for parts unknown.

1-3. You set up the power armor in case of hostile native fauna and head out with the few other hunters. You kill many of the insect like creatures around, trying to get as many specimens as possible for study. Most are smaller than a human, however there are a few larger. Most don't seem to be hostile or territorial. One, an 8 legged creature with a large tail with a spike, like a primitive scorpion, does seem to be a territorial predator around these parts.
>>49557
1. You take a few pot shots at a tree, and miss every shot. You realize this isn't the best idea and stop before you set the forest on fire. +1.1 Longarms.
2. You gather a few samples of the soil and local flora. Similar cellular structures can be found with plants from lost earth and the local flora. Most of the plants seem to be thicker and try to retain more heat. Soil is unremarkable. Moss like flora and reed like flora cover most places with evergreen like trees forming a forest. Most don't seem to hold digestible fibers for humans.
3. You aid in gathering samples.
>>49559
1-3. You miss every shot somehow. Maybe its not a good idea to shoot at the tiny bugs. Through observation, though, you find that their weak spot is everywhere. Seems their carapace isn't hard enough to stop modern weaponry.
-10 rounds

1&2. You decide to set up the greenhouse while the others are off massacring the local fauna. You find that while you put almost the entire day into it you still counldn't get it up by yourself. You did get a little over half way through though. 3/5
3. You tinker in your free time. While you don't get anything improved, especially with no proper improvements to add, you do learn a little bit of how your arms work. +7 Cybernetics Engineering.
>>49596
1-3. You join the others in decimating the local fauna in the name of science, boredom, the inability to do anything else in life, and because it tickles your now nonexistent sexual organ.
The Hunt, collected data: It seems that most local wildlife actually has organs similar to lungs and their carapace acts as insulation as well as protection. Samples collected -
- A scorpion like creature without the claws and a single, barbed spike tail. No venom glands. Observed to stab prey and eat it while alive. About the size of a bear.
- A long legged creature with curved 'feet' that seem to attach to surfaces. Herbivore that seems to keep to the trees. Good at jumping. Rabbit sized.
- Burrowing armored fish like creature. Amphibious and nests on the river bank. Seems to eat other fish and river insects. Carp sized with an overly large beak.
- Dragonfly like creature with a barbed tail, possibly related to scorpion like creature. Fishes the river.
- Tiny ant like insects. Non-aggressive and hide their nests under reed like plants.
- Pterodactyl like flying insect. Only two wings and appears to fly similar to a bird. Pointed beak appears to be used to hunt. Eagle sized. Hunts long legged creatures and dragonfly like creatures.
- Armored worm like creature. Aquatic. Eats aquatic plants. Hand sized.
- Four legged creature with claws on each leg. Aquatic. Scavenger.
- Dog sized termite or ant like creature that cuts down reed like plants and eats them over a period of time. Four thick legs.

Throughout the ship an automated message plays: "New FTL message received"
The message reads as follows:
Greetings Colonists! I should introduce myself. I am Darius Voldun, your contact at the Temple's communication center. I'll be the one taking your reports and doing all the paperwork we have to do back on Starstead to make things look good for the UN and the higher ups. I hope your first day on the planet wasn't too bad. Either way down to business.
We know there is some sort of impossible material on the surface of the planet and we need you to find it. Looking over the scans it seems to be on the surface and in lowland areas. Get us a few samples we can run some tests on back on Starstead. The higher ups are willing to prioritize some more labor, 20 unspecialized laborers or 5 specialized, to be sent your way if you get this done.
In other news the UN peacefleet is in a huff. Appears the Armastan republic got caught setting up a pirate colony. The pirates were rounded up and the fleet is in high alert for the moment. While we can grease the right palms getting anything that may not be the the most legal under international law is not going to happen for at least a week. Republic is getting hit with a few sanctions but really is more a slap on the wrist for them.
Anyway, good luck! Keep your eye on the prize and don't disappoint.

Thats probably enough killing and gathering for now. Time to see this place set up properly.
1 Link up the scanner, the power armor, Darius, the mastiff and the weather devices with the Supercomputer so that it can record and decipher information and send it back to me so I can make use of it.
2 Scout the waters and skies of the nearby northern shore. We want to find a place where we can deploy the Advanced Weather Buoys. There was no snow on the ground so the ATV over the sled was chosen for the trip. The cyber-mastiff could ride shotgun along with Darius and whoever wanted to join the trip. Once a couple buoys were in place we could gather all sorts of information that could help us track the weather, tides, and elements present in the water and runoff from the lowlands. Darius would be a boon to the scouting and if it looks safe we can deploy a buoy and a few balloons.
3 Use the Advanced 3d Scanners to find any minerals, particles, activity, and spaces on and under the ground while I am out.

1&3. You finally get the buoys connected to the computer and deploy the buoys at marked locations, making sure to avoid the places you saw the massive sea animals breaching in hopes of not having to replace these things any time soon. Checking back at the ship's computer everything seems to be working. Data starts rolling in and the computer starts processing it. While it isn't much to go on by itself but it should give you at least a short period of warning.

booting up sequence took longer than last time I was out on a job. ah well I'll put off the defrag till after I complete my first assignment, the construction of the hydro-electrical treatment and power facility by that river near touch down.
1. take stock of every materiel needed for said hydro-electrical treatment and power facility project and leave requisition notice for it after taking it all with me.
2. take a quick look see at the geographical scannings of the local and if there isn't any. make a quick note to slap the pre-lander testing systemings
3. make my way to the site, set up construction holo-emittors, then clear the place for work to begin. and see about getting any "on-site" resources for the project. always being ever "efficient" after all.
tell me if I'm doing something wrong please and what do I do about skills?

"AI" (Cyborg secretly)
Name: Mister Fister Unit 78-4B (John Lastowitz)
Description: A tall, white humanoid Robot, titanium alloy frame with stainless steel plating. Organic core inside armored head, hidden from conventional scans by unknown material.
Backstory: Mister Fister is the top of the line companion and security model used by both AI and humans for day to day tasks and routine security operations. Though the line does have one secret. They are the first in a line of new cybernetic units being developed in secret by the AI of Aeon, the computers realizing the wetware computing systems do have some use after all, being both able to relate to humans better and react more quickly to new situations then a fresh computer. The other grisly secret is how they are made. Citizens of Aeon are snatched in the night by rouge AI, and taken to their manufactorum cities where they are mind wiped and installed as wetware in the Mister Fister line of "robots". Though as this was a new process, it didn't always take fully, and some of the organics old memories began to leak though. The AI called this liabilities "Bleeders" both for their memory bleed and smartly point at their organic roots, and sought them down mercilessly to keep their experiments secret. One such Bleed was Unit 78-4B, but unlike others he didn't bleed slowly, but his memories all returned at once. He kept this secret under wraps, executing the same routines as when he was merely a "robot", but he knew that the jig would be up eventually, so acted proactively and changed a log on the Ascendancy Initiative to place himself on the ships leaving Aeon, and away from the AI that now hunted him. The solider in a previous life was now a robot on the first colony ship departing Aeon for parts unknown.

1-3. You begin dissection of some of the corpses gathered a few days ago and observation of creatures. It seems that while the fog is impossible to see through the plant life seems perfectly fine growing in and under it. Going by the sample the light may be sustaining it.

The last thing I want here is some shady corporate interest, their hired guns, and a bunch of tourists getting themselves killed or worse on this planet. Doesn't the Temple have enough pull to shove any little interest like this out of the star system? Its barely a frontier settlement not a pleasure world Jim."
1/2 Study Tactics
3/4 Study Computers
Pine tries to put down his tactical acumen into ideas, words, and numbers he can convey to others. Then he tries to see if he can put that knowledge into the Computer in the form of a small but robust tactical targeting program.

1. You take a look at the site again and decide against digging before having any building materials as it could lead to the site flooding. +1.6 Construction
2. While you know you will need limestone or certain shells possibly found on some creatures you search the beach for signs of either. There are some creatures with shells, some big ones out in the sea if your sensors are seeing that right, and the sand on the beach is black suggesting volcanic activity that settled here.
3. Sadly the prefabs have nothing of use besides for the prefabs they are made for, the only one not almost done is the garage for vehicles. +2.1 Construction
>>49772
1&2. You finally get the greenhouse up, setting up the water and power system to the ship. The greenhouse will begin to use 2 units of power per turn (You produce 10 free power per turn right now), and will use water once farming begins. All in all, it looks good. Only a few dents and cracks, no breaks so that is good. Will take some time and effort but you can start farming.
3. +3.5 to Cybernetics Engineering.
>>49773
1&2. You continue to work on and practice your knowledge of tactics. While it is hard you are able to learn some new things by reading some things over again. +14.4 Tactics
3&4. You also study computers, though that does not go as well as your study of tactics. +3.4 Computers.
You are also forced to give up the sample as the science ship arrives. -1 glowing fog sample
>>49776
1-3. You take a look at the fog. While you don't have a lot of equipment so you can't find out what the exact element is but you can study some of it's properties. You find that the fog absorbs and dissociates light as a silvery light with much of the energy of sunlight. Shining a laser through it increases the luminescence and keeping it in the dark leaves it dimmer. Nothing you have will react with it, at least not immediately.
4. Response: Will do. Sending some concrete and steel support bars along.
>>49833
1-3. You begin teaching people how to shoot, or you would if anyone was interested in learning how to shoot. In the end you theorize some methods to teaching and learn a good bit by reading up. If someone wants to learn how to shoot you will be there to teach them how to shoot. +18.3 Teaching
The science team arrives and work hard through the night, after Dr. Sokol hands over his data, while the new colony members drop off the goods of 100 units concrete and 100 units steel. After you wake up the science team reports that the element founds seems to be Plutonium, and it is highly stable. It won't react under heat or high pressure but it seems to compress under significant pressure into a solid. They will be taking the sample and gathering more to bring back to study this. They ask that you start collecting the gas and have at least 10 units worth by the end of this week. They will work on something for you to test if you can do that. They also warn that the tourism company will be sending a scouting party soon to look for a spot, they have already worked out a deal about the impossible element on the planet so that should be fine.
NPCS and you! You now have 20 unskilled laborers. They can work menial jobs and do all sorts of back breaking labor as long as they are feed and have water. NPCs can be assigned to any jobs, either continuous such as farming or short such as building. Short actions get one roll per group with a bonus equal to the number of NPCs on the job and a success rate of 1/3 that of a player. NPCs can also act as a static bonus when helping a player. If too many orders are given they will follow the orders of the most qualified individual, so an engineer giving a construction job. I will roll these dice before the next turn.

Name: Mister Fister Unit 78-4B (John Lastowitz)
Description: A tall, white humanoid Robot, titanium alloy frame with stainless steel plating. Organic core inside armored head, hidden from conventional scans by unknown material.
Backstory: Mister Fister is the top of the line companion and security model used by both AI and humans for day to day tasks and routine security operations. Though the line does have one secret. They are the first in a line of new cybernetic units being developed in secret by the AI of Aeon, the computers realizing the wetware computing systems do have some use after all, being both able to relate to humans better and react more quickly to new situations then a fresh computer. The other grisly secret is how they are made. Citizens of Aeon are snatched in the night by rouge AI, and taken to their manufactorum cities where they are mind wiped and installed as wetware in the Mister Fister line of "robots". Though as this was a new process, it didn't always take fully, and some of the organics old memories began to leak though. The AI called this liabilities "Bleeders" both for their memory bleed and smartly point at their organic roots, and sought them down mercilessly to keep their experiments secret. One such Bleed was Unit 78-4B, but unlike others he didn't bleed slowly, but his memories all returned at once. He kept this secret under wraps, executing the same routines as when he was merely a "robot", but he knew that the jig would be up eventually, so acted proactively and changed a log on the Ascendancy Initiative to place himself on the ships leaving Aeon, and away from the AI that now hunted him. The solider in a previous life was now a robot on the first colony ship departing Aeon for parts unknown.

You try to get Jim to teach you to shoot but he seems to focused on just shooting himself, like he doesn't even pay attention to what is actually goes on in the colony and just spends every day shooting. Maybe he has brain damage? Either way you at least learn how to hold, reload, and fire a gun from watching him.
4. With the aid of your assistants you are able to gather 2 units worth of the gas by hand over the day. Many of the workers are calling it Wisp Light due to how it looks.
>>49854
1. You begin construction, but it will take a bit longer as you are working alone. You are able to get the floor done, but need to put up the walls and roof, then put up all the wires and buttons. 1/3
2. Even the cracks are up to code! A+, best engineering you have ever seen.
3&4. You get back to work on the dam and get to reworking the plans. Adding some bypasses for the native wild life is easy enough, and you add it to your internal plans. You do realize that you will need some more equipment to have the facility generate electricity and siphon drinking water.
>>49857
1&2. You bring the recruits to learn from Jim. Well, you would if he actually payed attention and tried to teach. In the end it was just him shooting, like he does every day, and you watching him. You do learn a bit, checking his stance and how he adjusts his aim. +11 Longarms.
3. While you arn't able to do much for the training course the new laborers are making quick work of digging out what needs to be leveled and they are done by the end of the day. It will take a while and you will need equipment to create the obstacles or whatever you want to add to the training course.
4. "Unfortunately with that incident a few days back armed vehicles won't be possible. Hell, unarmed vehicles are going to be scrutinized to all hell. You are going to have to wait a bit before we can send that, and of course you are going to have to fucking pay we already delivered some construction material for free and that is only because the higher ups were ecstatic to see something new from the planet."
>>49869
1&2. While food will take a bit to grow the new laborers are getting used to it and starting to plant some of the seeds. You are able to get the balloons back, although they are starting to show signs of wear, and identify 3 large pools of what the laborers that went with the good doctor have started to call Wisp Light. You believe that these deposits will be large enough that a pump would allow for continuous production for years.
3. +8

1-3. You shoot. A lot of people are watching you shoot today for some reason. +14.4 Longarms
>>49926
1-3. You attempt to sneak up on Jim, to give him a surprise fisting, however he spent the entire day shooting and you decide it isn't a good idea to surprise someone who could accidentally shoot you in the surprise. You do not get spotted, however, and do learn a bit about stealth. +19 Stealth
Other NPCs: There are some complaints about the cramped quarters but they deal, knowing the colony has not been here long. Planting has begun, spreading around the seeds for the many crops brought. Some do worry that they do not have any grains and some do wonder what the local fauna taste like.

1. You beep at the organics and get them to move out of the way and, after getting some directions from Pine, start digging and setting up some basic earthwork obstacles. It will function, according to Pine, but not as good as it would with some actual obstacles. At least the meatbags can get to work on something useful now.
2. Sadly you do not have any tools for cutting down the local flora. This makes things difficult as the 'trees' are surprisingly reedlike in their nature.
3. You dig a trench, but you do not have the trees cut for the palisades to work. At least you have the trench made.
4. During the night you hear some of the workers complain. Mainly about the lack of proper housing.
>>50044
1. You gather another full sample of Wisp Light, before the pool you have been using makes it hard to gather the last bits due to being shallow.
2. Looking through the data you find that most of the fauna that you have found is edible in the same way cloned crustaceans are. It seems that when they die some chemicals will cause the corpse to become inedible and be toxic, something the fauna on the planet have evolved around, but if cooked alive the chemicals degrade into harmless byproducts and become edible. Many are fairly nutritious.
3. You place some of the Wisp Light into some food given to the workers, placed well enough that no one has noticed yet. There has been no noticeable effects.

1. You continue your study of Tactics. +0.8 Tactics.
2. Jim seems to be denser than the trees he is shooting at. You do, however learn a little bit still. +3.3 Longarms.
3. You also keep learning up on military protocol. Just in case. +6.1 Knowledge Military
4. You aid the men in adding a side for a shooting range, but this doesn't take long. Sadly there isn't much left to do before you get some actual obstacles going, and that means cutting down some lumber, if these 'trees' will even work for the purpose, or thinking of something else. The construction bot already made some dirt ones.

1. Sadly sale of military vehicles is legally restricted by international law to civilian entities; which the temple counts as. As well, thanks to that event earlier this week with the pirates it is going to be harder to get them through illegal methods. The best method would be to skirt the legal code a bit and get in contact with one of your old buddies to get you one. You are pretty sure a few from the Deathborg wars made their way up the ranks in the UN. What it will take to get them will be a different story.
2. It will be harder to justify a military sub, and while you are pretty sure there are research subs, that isn't your forte and you arn't sure where to start to get one of those. Maybe the Doc would know.
3. You and some of the disposables get to work on the 'trees' in the area. Their insides look more like reeds you saw in that bombed out lost earth biology center. When cut into planks they are far too flimsy to work as construction material. Maybe the Doc can see what these things can be used for.
The others find it annoying to just hold up books, but few are going to actively voice their complaints to the legendary Captain Pine.
>>50206
1-3&5. You decide to bring in some of the workers to help you with your diagnosis skill, also to see if there are any effects from the Wisp Light that they have been ingesting. For all they know it is just a check up to make sure no one is having adverse effects from the planet. You start with the basics, asking if they feeling anything wrong, which most people say no and one complains that his farts have a slight glow. Thankfully that man thinks he just breathed in some of the Wisp Light and is too stupid to realized how biology works. It is good practice and it seems that ingesting the Impossible Plutionium does nothing, at all. Considering the body doesn't use plutonium you didn't expect it to be beneficial, although why you would want to kill the new colonists is only for you to know. +17.8 Diagnosis, -10 Morality
4. You find a few good deposits and get the five grunts Captain pine isn't using to hold up the same book to help you. They will start taking samples from this place regularly until it runs out. +1 Wisp Light.
>>50211
1&2. You ask your FTL contact at the temple to get in touch with one of your old buddies that works for a major construction company for that kind of stuff. He gets back to you shortly. "Just got off the phone with him. Seems like you are in luck, that project you helped them on just struck gold, well Impossible Beryllium, but that isn't important. Seems like the shit is good, and considering the work you put in they are giving us a deal. Higher ups are ecstatic, so they are paying for a few units of the stuff and the equipment you need. The items already have the new element in them, seems like it enhances metals it is alloyed with. We are doing some experiments on it here soon. Should be about a day or two before you get what you ordered."
3. You finish up the garage, working enthusiastically after the good news.
4. You also get the base of the dam done. +2 progress (keep track of this you fucker, or I will forget and restart you or something.)
>>50243
1&2. You take a look and there are a few things in it's base form. For one it can easily be circulated and act as lighting. People like decoration, but in actual practice it is worse than a flashlight. You did hear that it could be turned into a crystal with pressure from the scientists before they left but you don't have one to test. The gas seems incredibly stable and only seems to react with light. It does create light similar to most stars so it might be used for power.
3&4. You tinker around with your own cybernetics while thinking about the possibilities. +4.9 Cybernetic Engineering
>>50431
Longarms to +100 as you reach the pinnacle of fucking around and only shooting. The rest of the colony has forgotten you exist. You don't even know how much ammo you have. What day is it, when did you last eat? Did we win the war? You scratch your beard as your legs ache from you finally moving from the spot you have stood in for the last several days. You would say you have the eyes of an enlightened man, but others would say your eyes are hollow and without purpose. (You can not get over +100 in a skill through pure training)

5. Sadly I have confirmed that the plutonium has no immediate biological use for both alien and human bodies. Without the creation of a specific organ dedicated for its usage we would have to go with cybernetic augmentation. As I have no real expertise in this area I must consult with Derevi on this matter. perhaps we could utilize its unique reaction to light as a dermal implant to either power other systems passively or could even be used as the basis for cloaking.

Whats the point of a sub when we have just begun cataloguing everything in our immediate area? Just use the trees to make a boat and paddle around if that is what you are into. Also I am no engineer, go talk to the robot if you are interested in construction. The only thing of note about the trees is that they are very good insulators so they will work nicely as a thatch roof or other things of that nature.

1-3. Jim had found tranquility in the sights of his rifle. There was nothing more to be learned from taking shots at unmoving objects. He needed a different sort of prey. Jim was an abysmal tracker though. What he needed was bait. Jim would sort of sneakily or maybe just creepily follow around people with his rifle, staring at them from a distance, hoping that they would come across something he could put a few bullets into to transcend beyond training boundaries.

Hey robot, I noticed that you had the foresight to order some pipes. I have a project of critical importance that I need you to complete so we can fulfill our quota. Currently I have to lead a pack of grunts around and gather the Wisp Light by hand. This is inefficient and a waste of my time, so while I train these grunts into prospectors you need to construct a pump that can be used to gather the impossible element. If we get this done our production should sky rocket and we will have much more influence to get what we need from the hierarchy.
Ignoring this however I must ask. What exactly did you do to garner so much favor so quickly? Its almost as if you have done something equivalent to finding a new impossible element…

What do you mean no!? Such a thing should be well within your capabilities. It is by far the most non reactive substance I have encountered and can even be compressed if necessary. If you are still hesitant, then just look at the data that has been gathered as it is more than enough to create an optimal system for such an easy to work with element.

before I can safety build your pumping network for the Wisp Light I must understand afew things about it. these things are listed as follows.
>how it handles high pressure and vacuum.
>how it handles both alternating high and low temperatures as well as high and low separately.
>it's reaction to common materials and chemicals as such as iron, rust, rubber, oil and anything in a working environment.
>what states it can be changed into and the conditions that do so.
>how it handles long term storage.

Backstory: One of the youngest accomplished officers of his generation Captain George Pine, or Colonel of Volunteers George Pine to his veterans of the Second Deathborg Wars. A popular war hero and decorated for gallantry and courage in devoting his men to wave after wave of assaults on fortified Deathborg positions. This prevented the Deathborg menace from escaping the city which allowed Pine's ship, The Deliverer, to launch a successful orbital bombardment on the occupied city of New Durga resulting in a minuscule several million casualties among the local population. Rather then take a cushy desk job on an inner world base he decided to join the Temple's extra-solar commune.

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.

He took on with the next expedition in the hopes that he would get to shoot more stuff on the new world as his generally poor performance kept him from becoming part of a rapid response unit.

Backstory: D.A.N. units are a type of constructor bot, which can use it's digistruct beam to directly convert raw materials into finished products (in keeping with the laws of conservation of mass). Rather than being an explicitly heavy building or structure creator, this specific D.A.N. unit is tasked with the creation of new robots, adapting or inventing new designs to fit it's needs, and organizing and leading said robots as a central intelligence node. This D.A.N. unit was set to activate some time after the colony has established itself to ensure its saftey.

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. You were told that it was Rogarian oasis wood, which is known for it's strength and protection from water, good for building in wet areas.
3. You also add some good scotch to the list. After looking at Scotch's face you decide to make sure that it is some good stuff. 500 credits were spent on this so you hope it will get her in a good mood, when it gets here.
2. You scan the ore in the ship labs and find that it is copper ore, specifically Malachite. You think that if this was polished up it would look nice too. +Malachite location.

1-3. You continue to bother the contact back on starstead to pump the scientist their about their knowledge on impossible particles. You find out that the movement of the particles give off slight gravitational waves in a strange wavelength. Not enough to cause any harm but enough that it can be studied. Finally the contact just asks if you want him to order a bunch of textbooks on the subject for you since you guys are apparently buying wood and scotch. (If yes it can be there for next turn) +13.5 Knowledge: Impossible Elements
4. You teach the workers how to find new deposits. It basically boils down to going out at night and looking for anything that glows.
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. Touching a bit of electricity on a side of the gem the point on the other side shot out a laser that nearly hit a tank of flammable gases. The gem grew extremely dun afterwards.

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

finally I can get this done and move onto more pressing matters.
1. using my high frequency chainsaw, cut the reeds into as small sticks as I can possible get.
2. leave the mess to dry.
3. dig ten half trenches, some'in like half the size of my Excavator Arm bucket.
4. apply reed sticks and concrete into half trenches and leave them till they're fully harden.
5.carefully dig them out and then set them into the jungle gym holes I made the other day, making sure to pour some concrete into every set reed-concrete pillar hole.

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."
+16 Knowledge: Military
2. if our solar cells are damaged, destroyed, or make ineffective by atmospheric interference from the asteroid's aftermath we will need a steady supply of power which means completing, and maintaining our own non-solar infrastructure, or organizing with the ship in orbit that can still produce solar power. 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. The batteries in question will come from the base's depleted solar batteries. We send depleted batteries and receive full batteries from the ship to cycle into the base's systems.
