"Well, I suppose you can drop off blue team first, or whatever. It doesn't matter who gets dropped off first, let's just get going."

Provide Mesk with a list of drop points for the teams and hop into the shuttle. Disembark when we arrive at our location.

[Sean Mirrsen]

((I'm sure the HMRC is not a group of people favoring safe approaches, but need I remind that two mapping drones were lost trying to approach the center of the flat zone? I'd think risking the main shuttle by flying over an anomaly rather than around it would be a rather un-smart idea.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

Im starting to think staying in the shuttle may be dangerous.

[Radio Controlled]

(@ Remalle: you need to take the team to sector 19. I choose that sector cause it seemed like that was the safest route. Going over the middle might be best, cause sector 3 is trouble, and sector 7 is uncertain danger. Might want to go over high.)

[Prosperus]

Red team - Lukas

Lukas messages back to Anton:

"We're at the edge of the volcanic zone, about to collect samples. Join the party. It's a blast!"

He then turns to the rest of the team. "Okay men. This is it. This is where you can prove your sampling skills. Don't stop until the fat robot sings."

Randomly wander around (but beware of any dangers) and take samples of whatever seems intuitively interesting.


You wanna head into the hotzone or continue along it's border like before?

Team Red - Lukas

((I'll take the safe option, thank you. Let's continue along the border first.))

((Why not Sector 18? The flatlands don't reach there, the optical anomalies are off to the side, and it doesn't change the mission plan much. >_>))

((DO NOT GO HIGH! Don't you remember what happened to the drone? Except if by high, you mean really high, as in suborbital.))

[Corsair]

"No response.... Might as well help Mesk and join in with whatever the hell is happening here"
Help Mesk and the shuttle team get ready also look over / find the flight plans and once obtained look at the suggested route and height.

((DO NOT GO HIGH! Don't you remember what happened to the drone? Except if by high, you mean really high, as in suborbital.))

((I don't know if suborbital is any safer than real high. That's also the reason why I proposed sending a drone at a distance in front of the shuttle, to warn us if there's anything dangerous. I also don't see why we should be having this conversation OOC.))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Pretend it's telepathy.))

[Parisbre56]

((Pretend it's telepathy.))

((Or do the same thing we did with the name vote. Pretend we were all talking as a group. Sometimes, solving these things OOC is easier.))

((Sector 18 is ok too, but then he'll be flying dangerously close to the vision-distortion sector. And the pilot going blind in mid-air is rumored to be bad for your health. I guess you guys will see what route is the safest once you get nearer.))

((DO NOT GO HIGH! Don't you remember what happened to the drone? Except if by high, you mean really high, as in suborbital.))

((Pretty much. You could probably go out of orbit with that shuttle, so 'going high' means 'going as high as would be needed'. Remember he used that shuttle to get off-planet previous mission, so this could work too. But again, depends on how it looks once you're there.))


((By the way, I'll be away saturday, so if there is still indecision by then, you'll either have to wait or just go for it.))

Base team.

Try to think of a way of capturing one of the slug things using the stuff we currently have on hand.

Anton Chernozorov, Red Team technician, utterly alone in the garage.

Anton opens the general comms channel.

"Am I right in understanding that most of the experimentation team is already out? You people sure moved out quickly. This is Anton Chernozorov, I am taking the Dodo and a trailer of materials out north for experiments. If you have objections to that, please speak up soon."

Check on how many mapping drones we still have left. Put four of them, plus some basic materials like sheets of metal and long metal rods into the trailer. If a means to use it is readily available, put some fuel for the drones in there as well. Make sure to remember to take the container of bluerad shards along. Roll the MPV out of the garage, unhook the trailer, and drive a few circles and figure eights in front of the garage to get a feel for the controls. Wait for any word from teammates.

(([Aux:1]  You manage to lose control of the vehicle and get it stuck headed straight for the gravity seep.  Uh oh.

[Aux:1]  Your attempts to free it only jam the controls.

[Dex:1]  You attempt to dive out in a rush, but the leg of your suit catches on the pedal and lodges.  It drags you down, accelerating more rapidly than anything has any business to.

Thankfully, the crushing gravity takes little time to end you.))
