[Time: Day 1, Afternoon]
I don 't need to break the log apart (besides, that would take a few hours). I can just use one of those heavy branches.

... darn. As soon as I come anywhere close, it's swarming me. They're too fast, some green, bloated small insects... if these are nests, they completely infested these trees.

These things seem very aggressive, but they're not trying to sting me. Maybe it's like with the lizken, I smell too weird or something.

... building stuff with obsidian? What are you -- you know what. Nevermind.

>>257694
Bah, avoid them for now. If you piss them off much more they may actually begin stinging you. Go uh... south!

Boy, it's really suck if some managed to get into your suit, huh?

>>257694
this can problaby do as lizken food. we should consider getting your pet/emergency rations here.

>>257694
Probably some kind of gnat or something. Is there any ways you can go around this particular group of trees?

I'm just going back to the pod.

Good thing this thing's clung tight against my skin, no free rides for these insects... Now I think of it, I really need to change my--

ACK-- HEY!

... thr fuck just happened? RUN!

What

Did it just ram you hard enough to swat itself?

>>257867
>>257868

Gentlemen, Ladies, I'm afraid I have some distressing news. After reviewing the information (small, bloated green insects) and reviewing the tape of the incident in question (*splak*), I believe we are dealing with a type of miniature flying creeper. Not very strong, but still enough to catch one off guard. I had my hunches at first contact, but I wasn't sure of my intuition until now.

>>257924
This is a distressing hypothesis. However it would in important data about their lifecycle we had till now lacked.

>>257866
We suggest you leave quickly and perhaps consider fashioning some means to defend yourself at range later.

hopefully they don't get any bigger. or you are going to have a bad boom on your hands.

Agh! Ow! These little creeps are extremely aggressive! A few chase me off, but are finished killing themselves by the time I reach the dropsite.

How am I supposed to defend myself against them? I can't just throw rocks at the lot.

Ugh, my hair feels like yuck now. At least whatever they're made of isn't corrosive...
At least its over... Don't know how they did that, but it hurts! Now what??

Gross, better wash your hair before it hardens or gets stickier.

>>258011
Hmmm...

Yeah, wash your hair.

They probably don't have much nutrition on them, but maybe we could harness them, somehow.
Eh.

im still hoping lizken can feed off them

well if that was the smallest creeper we got, it could be interesting to analyze those nests later.

ah, if removal is needed, i belive burning the tree with a flame arrow would be the most efficient and safe method

Ugh, I'm really going to have to wash it....

So far I've met two species of the wildlife, one is just plain weird. Hmnph.

Allright... what we'll do with these last hours of sunlight? Ideas?

>>258181
Eh, not much left to do. You can't exactly expand your home, can you?

Try to make something that can cut through rock, or at least dislodge surface deposits.

im guessing foraging was a absolute failure. next time we should check if lizken can feed on those bugs.

well, time to start a fire near your shelter.

can you get flint?

File 12902569905.png - (125.01KB , 1024x576 , PF01-046.png )

Breaking rock. Hmn.

I cant expand the hole, the clay isn't hard enough. For that, I'd need to stop and do something out of that log. With a bad hatchet. That's doable.

Rock.... a spike and a hammer would do it nicely, actually. Could make those ith the wood...

... flint. Heh. Really could use some to make a few tools... I didnt stumbled upon any nodules yet. You guys saw coal, did you see any flint?

... wait, you had a name for those bug things. You... have you seen those things before? Are those bugs on record?
... I'm starting to agree that whoever sent me here hates me.

well, we called them creepers, but we are REALLY hoping those are as big as they can get and not some larval form. cause otherwise blowing that nest will get bumped up a LOT in the priority list.

>>258373
Nah, the bugs are new to us, they just reminded us of one of the most terrifying examples of native wildlife we've seen in our entire career. A creature that makes seasoned men break down and cry after an attack, or scream like a little girl after hearing their evil warning hiss.

But this is probably something completely different, so don't worry about it! And we'll keep an eye out for any likely areas for finding flint.

>>258373
Their behavior is identical to that of that creature we kept warning you about earlier, the difference being that the creature we were thinking of is the size of a human and explodes with the force of several hand grenades.

>>258389

Several hand grenades? Hardly. My experiments with this creature have concluded that the explosive output the creeper creates is equivalent to at least one small crate of TNT.

Further experimentation with cobblestone, wood, marble, various metallic elements, and even dirt have all led to a similar blast radius report. Which may mean that the internal explosive functions of the creeper are limited despite the force of the explosion.

Above all else, it's recommended that we keep the 'nest' of these possible larval creepers under observation.

But if it were really swarms of this thing, wouldn't the whole terrain be pockmarked with craters?

>>258497
no, cause they only blow when threatened. it MAY be why no wildlife is near here they all stay the fuck away from the nests. in which case our best bet to find animals is to go exactly away from it.

Use some daylight to wash up.

[Time: Day 1, Sunset]

Yeah, I do need a bath. And food, I didn't eat for over twenty-four hours. But first things first.

It makes no sense to work the tree after the bath, and every other thing you guys asked requires wood. Unfortunately, the hatchet breaks down before I have more than a dozen pieces of timber. I still manage to carve a spike for dislodging stone later.

I find a bit hard to believe a creature as large as the one you mentioned has killing itself as a defense mechanism.... but you're the experts. What else should I expect?

... and here's the dusk. Time flies when you work... I should-- well. Is there anything that must be done before the sun sets?

>>258643
start a fire by your shelter

make a hole on your shelter to have a bath there? altho we have no buckets...

also think on them like bees, but with chemical explosives instead of a sting. if you see one big enought, run like hell.

i don't see why we would need a fire right now. we having noting to cook, would just burn and use wood that can be for something else.

A bath.

Rise and shine, another day of hard physical labour awaits you

sorry for the delay dudes i had to get my kids for the day at work event at scho- GOOD HEAVENS LOOK AT THE TIME, I THINK THE ICE CREAM MAN IS AT THE LOBBY

Time to go into your cavern, dont bother covering yourself. :3c

Ugh, you pervs.

Weasel, from now on you can consider bathing under like... some floating leaves or something. It looks like our visuals aren't a high enough resolution to really see very much under the surface though.

Before you retire for the night, can you give us a rundown on your current supplies?

>>258796

Oh come off it, let the frat boys have their fun. We're using their systems after all. I personally don't care what subject Weasel looks like, or what she wears. She could parade herself around in chain adorned bondage gear and I would still be the president of camp Don't-give-a-Fuck.

Still, you aren't using violence to defend your sense of morality, so kudos. I also second the listing of supplies, though I doubt anything significant has changed since the last time we checked.

I AM under a tree, sort of. I wasn't aware of how good your readers are. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to cover myself every time I need to wash up.

Let's see... I finally had my meal, so the MRE is gone; tomorrow I'll .. we'll have to figure out food. Ugh.

Well. Inside the plankpack, I beileve there's... one almost spent plasma cell, maybe two of ten charges.
I got a total of fourteen pieces of timber or so from that tree, and those three heavier branches I mentioned before... plus a stake and a wooden mallet. I can only hope those will be enough to work the rock here. Or at least dislodge larger pieces.
And of course, there's eight cubic metres of dirt.

Outside of that, I have three clean changes of underwear... well, undersuit. I still don't know what I'll do about laundry, but there's plenty of water.

Which by the way, tastes potable. Maybe a bit too mineral, but ok.

Guess it's time to warm up to a fire.

[Call up data on subject]

She is apparently listed as dead now, I want to see what else might have changed, like how long she might have been cryo-locked

You know how these things works, we are recording 24/7 and everything is available for review. Everything. I'm sure you've heard that guy with the Ostrich and the Acturian balloon animal, right? That went straight up onto myTube, and the company didn't even try to stop it.

And I want to know why this happened. Tell me, does the noodle incident mean anything to you?

uh. i just noticed.

we did got a aerial shot a bit after you landed, but nearly everything was at head level. do we have a invisible drone around?

yeah, current viewpoint is at water-level, in front of you and slightly to your left.

Don't you worry, we won't be distributing this in any way.

Hmn. Another thing for tomorrow, means to get some fire going....

Hmn. I don 't know where's this camera, but I don't see or hear it anywhere.

... actually, I can't hear anything bit the wind and the little birdie there on the pole...

... maybe its just me. It was the same last night. Right?

>>259048
Are you drying yourself with your own clothes?

Wait, on the pole? Why isn't it in the pen! Aaaaah, don't let it get away!

Catch it! Use something as a net! Gogogo!

>>259048
Currently 2-3 feet in front of your face, barring some kind of zooming.

Be on guard, and get in your shelter.

>>259048
I wonder if this is actually an invisible camera drone or... something. We don't actually seem to control any of the angles, zoom, or anything, and it keeps shifting.

Hell, how is this vid feed getting piped to us?

Oh god, what if we're the dead ones? What if we're all dead? Oh god oh god oh god

>>259060
uhh, it was on the pole the whole time, she tied it to the pole. remember?

>>259067
Oh, right. Haha, we almost sent her running about naked. Silly me~!

oh god. everyone dont panic. i got it.

we are inside a minecraft server. weasel was kia'd to get her brain in. the files should confirm it.

Well, the bird's good from here. It ate that grain pretty well. It calmed down now -- it's been a tad nervous since I leashed it.

And well, I have four changes of undersuit, and I needed to towel myself somehow.

If that's all, I think I'll go for an early night.

I was going to yell at you, then I saw the bugs, so:

BUGS

It's just some bugs, so long as there aren't a lot and she doesn't piss them off, she should be fine.

That said, her situation has only gone from bad to worse. It's only day 3, but we don't have any food, or any prospects of getting food.

>>259231
Just being near them is enough to piss them off, seeing as how we didnt really do anything the last time. They've probably followed us like killer bees on Earth will do.

Or, we have a second hive.

KSSSHHH- ALERT ALERT WE HAVE A BREECH IN HOMEBASE KSSSHHH- INSECTS APPROUCHING, FLEE IN TERROR KSSSHHH-

>>259231
She took survival training. If the bugs aren't toxic she can just eat those.

>>259231
>or any prospects of getting food.
We have a chicken-analogue, which we know lay eggs, and plenty of grain. Might get a bit boring, but it's a stable food source.

>>259241
exploding bugs.

EXPLODING.

They don't exactly explode with monster force at that size, even the really big one didn't actually hurt her. Of course, I'm worried about these larger creepers you guys talk about. I can't find them in the xenobiology archives or even with a general search, but if they exist, they sound super dangerous.

But she needs her sleep. What is she going to do, get up an squash them all individually and then go back to sleep? Make a mesh so tight over the chimney that they can't get in? Waking her up isn't going to help, in fact I think letting her sleep till morning is a good idea.

>>259454
It's a choice between sleeping one hour less or waking up covered in sticky... whatever these things are made of. And then her bath would all be for nothing!
We obviously cannot let that happen.

wharehouse traffic and control please come in. i belive i found out what actualy happened to operative 6172-531-541. not that it matters now.

our subject is located at persson-5, not persson-4. if you can send immediate assistance please do so now, the agent was attacked by a strange wild life that somehow managed to peform a cave in at her improvised shelter. sending attatched file regarding the last logged entries and surveys.

we need a operative with a pickaxe, one MRE and a plankpack if possible.

what bugs me is how we got followed. she showered, it could be her clothes.

man, i keep thinking that a fire by the door would have saved her =c
