I read that at one stage.

I think the best part was 4-5 moves in, medic sees friend in trouble, medic shoots at bad bug, hits friend in the chest so hard his ribs are visible.
Curses, runs towards friend and fires shotgun a second time, melts friends head.

"Um, uh... Sorry Bradley. I don't know what came over me... uhhhh..." (Walks a couple steps away sheepishly)
Begin setting up Portable Shelters, Get Dimitri to make a quick sonar scan (if able) to get a better idea of the area. Also, search the cart for any pistol or short blade weapon just in case.

((I'm assuming that the cart has most or all of what we'd need for a temporary Base of Operations))

"Just remember to buy a girl dinner before trying to kiss her." she says jokey.

A quick patrol of the nearby area(keep the transport in view)

Go through the kit in the transport to see what we've got.

Yeah, it was a lava centipede. The player getting chewed on threw his gun away in favour of trying to knife the thing. Would've been fine if he had gone for his open mouth, but he didn't, and the medic rolled a one (with a -1 because he was beyond extreme range, with a shotgun) and vapourised him.

Well to be fair aiming for eyes is the best option, soft spot on the outer body, how was he to know it had no eyes .

((Can my AI's name be Tomoko? And for his accent, he's not an accomplished linguist, so...pronunciation of names can be tricky.))

Kamanashi bowed slightly, though it looked awkward in his suit. "My humblest apologies, Yev-gen-ie-san. I do not know what came over me." He stands back up fully, and examines the cart and its contents. "There should be little difficulty. If it is truly necessary to move the cart, we have the capability." He then paced to a glowing section of wall, and took out some sampling tools."Tomoko, analyze this please, and take an air sample. I must wonder if it's a biological contaminant that was able to penetrate the suits." ((italics denotes japanese)) Without turning to look at the rest of them, he spoke. "Clay-ir-kun, would you and Jair-edi-kun please scout the area? Oisha-san, Yev-gen-ie-san, and I can set up the port."

Doc stammers an apology to Clair. "Um, uh... Sorry Bradley. I d-don't know, um, what came over me... uhhhh..."
"Just remember to buy a girl dinner before trying to kiss her," Clair humorously replies. Doc chuckles nervously before walking backwards a few steps and checking the kit. There are cots and sleeping bags, as well as a number of Instant Walls, which will be good for a few rooms. They didn't include a lot of sheltery things for obvious reasons, but they do have plenty of stuff. Food, water, reclaiming equipment, even a few AlGro machines. They have just about anything you'd need.

Dr. Zwerkov seems surprisingly unfazed about the embrace. "So that's one of those anomalies they have sent us to research, eh? Oh! Talking about that light. Anyone running a few scans on it to see if it is safe? Never hurts to be on the safe side, before it bites us. Called that one, just in case." He chuckles nervously, then adds, "Ah-lright, back to protocol. And by that i mean that we can't do much about the Cart at the moment--sure hope it won't disturb us setting up port. Which I really want to get started on soon, before the next wave of weird rolls in. Speaking of the port, I really could use your opinion if we find a good spot, Kamanashi. We really dont want to screw up that one." He watched the others work a bit.

Officer Bradley turned from Doc and patrolled the area. She noted as the odd feeling faded off, and sprayed a mark to note this. Continuing onward, she saw that one of the side tunnels ended swiftly in a new chamber, with a further passage out.. Heading into it slightly, Bradley is blinded!

Khan took an inventory of the critters. Mostly rodents, but a few cats, a dog, two little chimps and a few monkies, some octopi, and even canaries, as well as less interesting animals. There's also some critters ready-to-grow, in case you run out. The group was mostly intended for test subjects. They're all in various airtight containers, mostly sedated.

Dr. Kamanashi bowed and began talking. "My humblest apologies, Yev-gen-ie-san. I do not know what came over me...There should be little difficulty. If it is truly necessary to move the cart, we likely have the capability. Tomoko, analyze this please, and take an air sample. I must wonder if it's a biological contaminant that was able to penetrate the suits." He pauses a moment before his AI, designated Alice but accepting "her" nickname, considered the question. "It seems that the air is sterile, at least of any known varieties of life. Pressure approximately 6.14 PSI or 42.3 kPa or 0.417 atm, all approx. ±0.06% of value. Gas composition: 42% Hydrogen, 22% Helium, 15% Oxygen, 7% Nitrogen, 5% Neon, 3% Carbon Dioxide, 4% Trace Chemicals, 2% Unidentified Gases, approx. ±0.3%. Recommendation: Do not inhale, due to low oxygen content and potential for dangerous chemicals." AIs are so helpful, their advice slightly less so. In any case, Dr. Kamanashi was about to request that Bradley scout when he noticed that she was doing so. "Jair-edi-kun, would you please join Clay-ir-kun in scouting the area? Oisha-san, Yev-gen-ie-san, and I can set up the port."

Gender: Male
Profession: Research Scientist
Position: Technical Officer
Bio: Kamanashi was born to an upper-middle class family living in Tokyo. They had high expectations for him, and he fulfilled all of them and more. By the time he was in the sixth grade, he'd constructed a scale model of a new rocket design. Next was a bio-engineered tree before he was a sophomore in high school. A true prodigy, he didn't get a 'real' job for a long time. Rather, he stayed in college for 14 years, learning everything he could. This was funded by the occasional spree of inventions and writing of books. To Kamanashi, learning and knowledge is the only purpose for human life, and he pursues those goals with a passion. When he was 44, the government approached him about some strange occurences they'd found, asking him to help with the technical aspect. Only too happy to oblige, having grown bored with most research he could do on the planet's surface, he went up into space for the first time.

Still, after completing his studies he was burdened with debt and drafted into mandatory service.

I'm serious. If there's anything you think you or the base should have, speak up. I'm willing to be pretty flexible for now, but the more time passes the less I'm going to be.

The technical officer frowned. Extremely flammable, this air was. Unsafe to breathe, too, with the high carbon dioxide content. The plants should grow fine, at least those that didn't need the pressure. "No one fire laser," He said, before going to the cart. "Do we have any drilling supplies or other sampling equipment to collect a piece of the glowing rock?" Finally, Kamanashi walked around a bit, noticing Bradley making a mark, and tries to find the boundaries of the effect. He decides that, as the Technical Officer, he has a duty to name this first Anomaly. Asking Tomoko to document it, he records its apparent effects, boundaries, and a hypothetical cause(unidentified gases, with some sort of corrosive intoxicant or other such chemical that could penetrate the suit) and names it Onjō.

[Parsely]

Include some backup solar generators if we have access to sunlight. Some explosives would be nice, as well as some kind of special or heavy weapon, like a turret or cannon, for defending the base or demolishing large obstacles. Drilling equipment as well as a geo-sampling kit, if we don't already have that capability, and some sort of sonar mapping device with relay pylons that we can plant as we go.

EDIT: Ninja'd. I think Rolep covered pretty much everything I had to say. :/

EDIT:EDIT: 1 Laser Drill :3

[RangerCado]

I believe we should have:

an echo-map sensor
2 large motion sensors
Space to ground position beacon

Run over to Bradley but stay 3 paces from were she stopped moving. Check her eyes for anything odd and monitor her pulse while leading her back to the cart. If she's fine once she backs away from the chamber, just check her eyes and warn her to be careful when exploring. Set up the echo sensor and get dimitri working on it to locate a large chamber we could use as our official port.

Edit: Ninja'd by Gun on the sensors.
