Paz, why you gotta sulk like that?

47
I think Kat was just too stunned to say no.   :P  She doesn't want to hurt Paz's feelings.
Nah.  The look on Kat's face isn't right for that.  I'm so happy for all these characters, developing as people.  :3

I swear to god, if Tom cuts away from this scene on Friday, I will break.  I must know what happens!

Oh yeah I did another little doodle. Some dwarves using a goblin for target practice from behind the ramparts. A fairly common format for combat.
Wow your crossbows looks like pump action shotguns!love it!
pump action crossbows??!!

I think it's just a contoured foregrip.

Why do I get the feeling that's an evil laugh?

This is my new desktop background.  Back to one monitor because my old one's power circuit blew some capacitors.  Just waiting on an adapter from Hong Kong so I can use my new second monitor.

Mort?

Stefan will try to work with Frederick Stumpf and Aaron Chechkovis to devise a way to better filter/clean any water we will collect in the future from Lympha.  That way we won't have such a hard time keeping our filters clean and other aquaculture samples alive.

We should also continue digging out the wreck.

What is that rainmeter-like thing you have there?

55
I like what is happening.

56
Smitty also has the innate ability to bring order to things, so maybe the Council figures that ability would be most useful for their medium.

*snip*

The database is useless for now and FTL communications with more advanced planets is essentially out of the picture.


Well, I guess we do like tryrar suggests and sit on it until we can recover the data, or we attempt to re-use the hardware for our own purposes.

58
In that case:
    • What will it take to get us some FTL comms?
    • How long would it take to courier the database on the Saviour back to a government facility that could do what we want done with the database?

59
We can probably back off on the copper production in order to save the Survivor's solar array and allow the colony's array to rebuild its stores.  Power production is still an issue.  Maybe we should see about excavating the hulk to see if it has a powerplant we can use to supplement our solar array.

Here are some names I propose for the bodies in our system:
  • Saeta for the planet we orbit
  • Sable for the desert moon we have settled on
  • Lympha for the aquatic planet
  • Rimboe for the jungle moon
  • Brandstof for the gas giant with harvestable fuel, its moons would just be numbered ex: Bradnstof I
  • Pelusa for the second gas giant, it's moons would also just be numbered ex: Pelusa I
  • Dor for the barren planet
  • Hielo for the asteroid moon with icy soil

We should consider sending the Survivor, the drone, and a small team (20 people or so) to Lympha to recover some water for our own use and to capture/study specimens of Lympha's native aquaculture in order to determine if there is anything to our benefit on Lympha.  The expedition should follow standard decontamination and quarantine protocols upon their return to Sable.

Assuming we have FTL communications capability, we should request help from the central government with decrypting/unlocking the database system and black-box recorders.  We can explain ourselves by saying we want to know any information on the database that may prove pertinent to the continued survival of our colony, that we also wish to re-use the database system for our colony's sensitive and critical information.  While we are in contact with the central government we should also request information on what weapons were/might have been used on Lympha and Rimboe.

Thanks.  No more Bolo stuff there, but lots of stuff for some Contact RPG thing.  Too bad the site for it is all German.
