Continue revealing the ship. Once it is fully scouted, check to see if any of it is salvageable.

see if any chunks are small enough to pick up and just toss in the assimilator.

>>327351
Don't toss the ship in the assimilator (for now at least). There is a small chance we might get it working again.

yeah let's scout out around the ship, there might be some other useful supplies

Do we have something to put out that fire? That should be done ASAP so the crashed ship does not take any more damage.

>>327373
Agreed. If the ship cannot be extinguished, then continue to scout around it.

Gatherers at the crystals: Have you stopped? Continue until the crystals are all ready for processing. Then we can just do that all at once once the assimilator is ready.

yes, you workers must continue to harvest this ore, harvest it all!

Find some way to extinguish those flames. Also, look upward. Are we in a cavern?

that sounds good. look around the crystals for anything.

yeah I'm with scouting around the crystals, see if there's anymore crystal deposits to mine

we should send two gatherers to scout at the very most. we're so goddamn vulnarable now it's incredible. the way I see it, gathering resources and establishing a base of operations is top priority, and getting someone good at killing things is right below that. making our presence here known comes way after that.

make it 3 on pink, 2 on green. unobuildium is in greater demand, it seems.

gather more pink.
(and we didn't mean those two who were PUTTING OUT THE FIRE to go, ment two OTHER builders who were DOING the gathering. and moving both left AND right.)

Retreat to the main group, gesture for the creature to halt, and if it continues to advance than focus fire on it.

someone follow alexi. a UB miner should switch to building the command center or whatever it was called as soon as we have the materials to do it.

Alexi keep your gun ready that thing could turn hostile in a second, but don't fire just yet

I guess you can follow it if you want the risk, but:
* Don't enter caves following it
* Beware its poisonous sting!
* Do NOT initiate hostilities. They might be hostile already, but we don't want to pick fights with giant scorpion nests if we don't have to.

the two dudes most experienced with shooting stuff can automatically start their soldier training. if none of you have experience with guns, the two biggest, most muscular dudes should be the soldiers instead.

The Armory has completed construction.

>>378282
ANDREI: "Finally, something more substantial than this wimpy pew-gun and thin sheet of painted metal."

There are three soldier models that the Armory can create: the Cerberus unit, the Jackal unit, and the Lone Wolf. The Cerberus is the most heavily armored, but the Jackal has more maneuverability and also has the ability to fly. The Lone Wolf is equipped with a stealth suite, and is most likely not built for crewman Andrei's body shape.

ALEXI: "Don't hold it that way if you like your fingers."

ALICE: "Sorry. I was never that good with this thing."

Alice is clearly too useless to be trusted with anything

Andrei gets to be cerberous, as the biggest tough puppy, he is an ideal choice for tank.

Vitali will be Jackal, his co-pilot status should make him best suited for being a winged infantry

Alexi will Lone Wolf, that way if he sneaks off again he'll be able to do it with some competance, also he's our main man and need a badass title, Lone Wolf fits the bill

ALEXI: "As soon as my ankle heals up I'll get a Wolf suit produced, Cozey."

A long-term building/equipping plan is recommended.

hmm... next up should be a tech lab. which if possible should look into ways to increase mineral gathering rates. then we should place some gun puppies around the perimeter allowing our soldiering forces the option to explore without leaving the base exposed.

after the tech lab does that for science we will need to see our options with it. then buuld one of the advanced structures it unlocks or the science lab.

workers: gather resources and eventually establish a turret perimeter. it shouldn't be too confining space-wise, because next up are more buildings, like the research lab, and whatever might get us more hands to work with.

Vitali: explore area for additional resources; you should be protected from those vine things thanks to your newfound wings.

Andrei: guard the outpost and look scary and badass. be on the watch for anything that might stumble upon us.

Fabricate a Wolf suit for Alexi. Make contact with home planet. TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: Confirm status of missing crew members. Determine existence of sentient life on the planet.

I am detecting two moving objects on top of the cliff, but no heat signatures.

double checking recordings confirm two objects on the cliff.
maintain watch in case objects jump down. once jackel is complete Vitali will fly up and investigate.

let's keep mining and build that research center.

maybe we should send Andrei to the cave system we detected nearby... see any entrances?
