Thank the man and go pop into stasis, when we are finaly out go gear and suit up
Stasis. I except all that meat will be rotting in your lockers when you wake up.
"Hmm, nothing. Time to move on."
Pod.
Speedily podded.
Poddity pod pod
Pod people pod.
Bastien and Stepan are forcibly escorted into stasis by the armory master. I can't kill braindead people just because they are braindead.
Waking up from stasis feels like it happens right after getting in, you don't really even notice subjective weeks spent unconscious. Rushed by Dave's omnipresent voice everybody gets quickly cleaned up, dressed and into the briefing room.
> Our planned trip here got briefly interrupted thanks to vexiles, but here we are finally. Our target is a planet known as Frone, something we call a de-civilized world. After The Altered Wars started this planet lost its connection to rest of mankind. At some point between that and its rediscovery by UWM fleets they bombed themselves back to stone age. Funny what how four millenias worth of progress can completely disappear under 300 years.
> Now, records of the events right before Altered Wars are little spotty at best, but our glorious Magistars believe it was highly likely Altered strand was present here too. Despite of that planet seems to be rather lively which means early Altered were either swiftly defeated or our esteemed Magistars are wrong, which never happens by the way. So you should be able to see why Magistars are interested of this planet. Locals are no help in this matter; at best their oral history tells of demons rising to defeat their arrogant and mighty ancestors. Or so our brave culture exchange students do tell us.
> Anyway. What we are here for is a certain military bunker with still functional defense system, which puts it firmly into top five most interesting places on the planet. Because if its defense turrets still works, then it most likely has functional mainframe and most intact set of data anyone can possibly find on this planet. You will go in, disable defenses, find mainframe or some sort of data storage and download everything you can. Keeping its powersource and computer system functional would be really nice because less expendable people will scour the place more thoroughly after you are done.
> I think I can throw you all in there, those turrets will probably slice number of you for good, don't you agree?Wait until after the jump or whatever when it's safe to get unpodded, then see what kind of prototypes the research guy has on offer.
Let's see. The R&D guy goes on the back room and returns five minutes later with two boxes. One is small box, about size of fist, with "Biased Red: ICH-AP-FO-Pa16" printed on it. You can buy it for 1 token.
The second box is bigger, around 70cm * 30 cm * 30cm. It has "Jovial Copper: ICH-OT-WE-Ui2316." printed. You can have it for 4 tokens.
"That's all the prototypes I you can buy at the moment. I don't offer any warranty, so don't come to complain if you get yourself hurt."
