"Damn it!"

Haul the struggling birds into the trailer, then try to get those living that aren't fighting yet.
Nab that rat thing, if I have time, too.

He flipped on his comm.
"Team Two, this is Cromwell, I have a request. Get me a shock rod, or taser of some kind, and some more crates on a trailer. A lot more crates."

Mark raises an eyebrow and asks "Sir?" before tazering one of the escaping birds and wrapping it securely in the net before repeating for the other ones "that help?" he asks with a grin then help secure all the birds alive and dead

Having a proper tool for all situations is key for success. Mark proves this by shooting escaping birds with a taser and wrapping them neatly. Damn birds are quite resilient against electric shocks since they start struggling quickly again against nets, but it isn't a problem any more.

Struggling and dead birds are in the trailer now, but better wait for those crates before getting others. Situation with living ones is like this but with a net of steel.

"On my way."
Get everything he asked for as fast as possible.Define "a lot" as all the trailer can bring without breaking when filled.

Let's see... they went hunting small birds, right? So crates they want probably shouldn't be very big. And small birds are usually quite light so number of crates shouldn't become a problem. Unless they got something bigger... You load a trailer with many 40 cm wide and tall boxes and secure them in place with load restraint ropes.

You deliver the crates for your co-workers and assist them with filling crates. Unfortunately one of the red headed birds manages to escape in progress. It's not really a big loss, you guys captured plenty.

Team One haul at moment, all boxed:

• 6 target birds
  • 2 dead
  • 4 alive
• 4 red headed birds
  • 1 dead
  • 1 shot dead
  • 2 alive
• 3 flying snakes
  • 1 dead
  • 1 shot dead
  • 1 alive
• 1 alive rat

Wake up. Go to the lab and help [SaberTooth] with.. Whatever he's actually doing right now.

You wake up from your daze in infirmary. You find György in labs... watching bugs trying to escape. So you two stare the bugs intently together. The bugs are quite happy just chilling around. Interesting.

Check on the vaccines, and ensure I have enough for the away team once they all return. Check up on Guni.

Vaccines are ready and you have enough for everyone in your team.

Guni is up and working on something, she's staring at bugs together with György. Her temperature has gone down to almost normal so she's pretty much healed.

write back
"sure."

Message sent. Are you going... into actual meeting?

Oh, and your neck itches badly. Maybe you should show it to the doctor?

Get the genes for fast growing from the livestock and the immortality gene from turtles. Catalog them for further use.

You search the database of Earth animals and flag the genes you want for quick reference. Growing fast means usually dying early and living long time means growing slowly. Quick glance by inexperienced genemodder would say there is a massive conflict but you are certain you can solve that inconvience.

((Sea turtles take twelve years max to reach adulthood.))
Get an attack dog's dna to base this off of. Begin trying to work in the easy parts first (steelbone eyes and ribs.) and then start trying to figure out how to make it grow and reproduce quickly but live for a long time if not forever.

((Well, I suppose size does factor in there.))

The easy part? Hah!

So steelbones, infrared vision eyes, four eyes and fused ribs? Allright, you work hard for your hybrid alien mutant horror. So hard that you lose sense of time for a moment here. When you finally stop working you are confident you got it right, but since genetics are such big mess of interconnected parts you cannot simply know if it is perfect. Only way to know is to test your desing by speed growing it and then dissecting it. And if you are going to do that you'll need a stem cell from somewhere. Fabricating DNA out of air is doable and all fine, but actual cell material you must get from somewhere else. Only sources available here are your fellow humans and whatever animals they have killed.

Quick natural growth and longevity have to wait for next turn. I can't let you casually create monsters with a snap of fingers.

Name: Ometos Wolf
Description: Wolf wanted to go out and explore the unknown, being good with weapons he choose to be a part of security. He don't really have any emotions that is visible to others, so it is impossible for others to know what he feels.
Role: Security

can i get on waitlist?

It's unlikely that new spots will open soon unless someone quits or dies, but we already have one murder in progress. But yeah, waitlist it is.

* Springy grass. (Partially studied)
* Soil. (Studied)
* Seven corpses of large four eyed birds. (Studied)
* Aquatic creature. (Studied)
* Two corpses of black wolf-creature. (One studied)

Slowly approach Arcane room while speaking Words.

((How do you feel about D'usse being the driver? That's why I've had her get the car and rifle and everything, if it can work into your plan.))

((We don't have designated driver yet, but whoever is gonna take that role should be very familiar with chosen escape routes.))

Your insults are about as original as is the name you have chosen for yourself. Your attempt to insult others in the Internet as a gentleman is complete failure. Perhaps a century ago you would gotten a meager success, but time has passed over that era and new far better insults are being made based on your utter incompetence. Please disappear.

I'm slightly worried the game might be boring for some people, so I prepared some additional content for your entertainment while the slow mowing cogs of the "plot" continue rolling.

Tell Mark to fire the grenade launcher first, to stun as many things as we can. Using the nets by themselves won't accomplish much.
After he knocks some out of the trees, assisst with my own nets, prioritize the target bird, then glider snakes, then the small bird.

"Sir yes Sir"
follow instructions then assist with firing nets

Mark aims the genade launcher at biggest group of birds he can see and fires. Three almost simultaneous explosions drops many creatures to ground, some fall like a ragdoll and some manage flap their wings to make fall softer. Every bird and snake not affected by grenades takes the hint and flies away. Mark manages to score two more kills with his pistol, larger redheaded bird and a flying snake.

Cromwell steps out of ATV, takes netgun from trailer and starts netting fallen creatures together with Mark. For most part it goes well, there's even unexpected rat among your prey, but netting those target birds is a bit of problem. You see, when fired net touches something, it turns very hard and strong so net essentially wraps its target within unbreakable prison. Only electric shock will soften it.
So imagine this: your target bird, at least those who are still alive, is covered by net which hardens as usual. The bird struggles for a moment and then the net suddenly goes limp and the bird starts wriggling its way out of it, slowly but surely.

Your haul at moment:

• 6 target birds
  • 2 are dead
  • 4 are currently escaping
• 5 red headed birds
  • 1 dead in net
  • 1 shot dead
  • 3 alive
• 3 flying snakes
  • 1 dead in net
  • 1 shot dead
  • 1 alive
• 1 rat(?)

Get ready to go to Team A in case they need support.

You prepare two-man flyer for immediate takeoff. Weapons are all ready, so there's nothing to do but wait for a command. Hmm, they left without taking sample containers. Wonder if they need any?

"Science!"
Run off to my lab and watch the insects try to escape.

Escape? Did you let them free? No problem, they might wander around in the lab but they can never get any further. Unless you intentionally release them...

"Um..."

Your neck itches annoyingly.

"Anyone? Entire clan just waiting for your words commands! In this life and next!"

"Let's bag a few" Mark fires the first net at the bird that attacked his comrade then starts firing on the other birds trying to snag a few that were staring at the group and one of the snakes as anti venom could be important later

((Random thought but are you running two rtds one with us controlling the people and another one on another site controlling something on the planet that controls the animals or am I just being paranoid cause that would be awesome))

((You are paranoid. 
It would be fun but no, I'm not running any other games anywhere. Also, this isn't a RTD.

As for your action, what are you firing other birds with? The Mounted Triple Barrel Grenade Launcher or some other weapon from your personal arsenal?))

We don't need software. We just can systematically go through arrangements of symbols until we get the password. It's brute force hacking.

Try "swordfish" first though. The password's almost always swordfish.

Or "password". Or "MyDickIsLongerThanYours!!!1".
