Requisition military personnel from Fleet command and build a barracks + firing range.

anyone taking bets on how this one ends? aliens? meteor? gamma-ray burst?

I'm going to have to take a rest, starting to get tired.
The additional personel can construct their own damn hab blocks!
(Got to go sleep for real now, not sure how many are still here, OP. Might want to save part2 for another day.)

>>9385416
We terraform the entire place into a paradise.

>>9385403
We have boys in green in orbit, and now you want them here? No thanks, I'll pass.
Who the hell are you anyway, boy? I haven't seen your mug before.

>>9385541
My name is Jim Raynolds. Fleet Command sent me down here to supervise your work.

All I intend to do with more men is ensure your safety.

>>9385373
send an exploration team to explore nearby creators for things of interest!

>>9385594
Oh right, what I need is more supervision, suuuure.
Safety against whom, boy? What can you do that automated defenses can't? Eating up our resources and being pompous?

>>9385640
We're currently constructing sats. Once they're up the well, there'll be no need to walk around looking into each crater randomly.

>>9385652
That kind of hostility is not needed, Sir. We will not hinder your work.

Our orders are to keep this facility up and running, and that won't happen if you don't co-operate.

More farmers, scientists and engineers would be helpful for food production and our development projects.

I say we dig deep! Into the core of the planet!

>>9385707
You're hindering my work by breathing the oxygen that could be used for more useful tasks, snotnose.

I'm not seeing you or your ilk "keeping this facility running". Keeping the facility running includes working and not walking around, looking menacingly. We have security for that.

What are you producing besides shit and pathos, hmmm?

I'd like to gather willing followers to begin constructing a chapel of the Church of Wrench in the crater to the southwest of the colony.

>>9385767
FUND IT.

>>9385799
Oh for fuck's sake.

>>9385771
We keep this facility up and running by protecting you, the workers.

Do not ask me from what. Need to know basis, i'm sure you understand.

>>9385836
WHAT? DO YOU FEAR THE FOLLOWERS OF WRENCH?

I say we dig too deeply and too greedily and release a new god into the world despite the input of the people in the thread.

>>9385767
>>9385799
I vaguely remember a story on the comm-net about these particular sets of suggestions leading to a rather abupt and gruesome end.

I say you begin work on mining, see what kind goodies there are hidden below.

>>9385843
I'd trust a drone not to shoot me from behind over you any day. I'd trust an automated missile system's reaction time over any humans, too.

we must begin construction of detention centers at once!

Hmmm.... You remind me of a guy I met once...

Requisition Request A40-Z

It is my recommendation that we build a large atrium as soon as possible. I need the structure to start producing vegetables and fruits containing the vital nutrients our freeze dried rations lack.

In addition, we will begin producing plants to create medicines and ointments.

By my estimation, we must have this Atrium built within 2 weeks to avoid malnutrition amongst the settlers.

The atrium will need to be at least the size of 4 New York Blocks with multiple plantation decks to provide for 200 colonists.

>>9386306
Spectacular. What are you, expecting a ground-based assault? Should we maybe be building a WALL around the colony next?
Seriously, boy, what were your planners, born on a pre-industry world? Don't you think that in space space-based threats are what we're likely to be ever defending against, if we even ever need to defend in the first place?

Janitor Mech-Bishop Corpri sweeps the lab facilities.

>>9386379
Carson man, you have freezing-induced dementia. We have two huge greenhouses at the ready. Go see the doc, we have a most outstanding medical specialist amongst us.

>>9386389
Sir, I am a patient man but your constant bickering is starting to get on my nerves.

Return to your duties or I am forced to detain you.

Dorkins, the green houses are sufficient for grains and starches that provide calories and sustenence, however I worry for the essention vitamins that will provide nourishment to complement our grain-houses. In deferrence to your suggestion I will modify my request to a 1 block area of space dedicated to advanced agriculture.

- Carson

>>9386456
You'll detain someone once you're back at your army turf, boy, if they'll allow you.
You're acting as if someone gave you the right to command around here, in a _civil_ settlement, _cadet_.

Are housing facilities constructed or do the colonists and workers have there own quarters some where?

*****I would like to request the creation of a very large, sub-surface hydroponics and environemtal laboratory. It must be at least twice the size of the newly constructed Engineering lab. When complete, it should allow for plenty of expansion.

Of course. I'm also going to require a skilled geneticist to start with some atmosphere changing mosses and lichens!

Sir, have you not been listening to me at all? We have been hired by YOUR superiors. They have invested a great deal of money in this project, and all they want is someone to supervise that investment.

They have also given us the right to do what we see fit to maintain order. If that means removing troublemakers such as yourself, we will do it.

So I ask you once more, in a civil manner, to back off and do what you came here to do.

We need the sats up as soon as possible so we can monitor seismic activity.

Memo: Survey Request to Environmental Survey Department

Hello this is Hydro Engin. Carson. At your leisure I request an analysis of our existing water supplies for impurities and poisions that may effect the production of agriculture. The Atrium is not due for completion for several days now, but I will be requesting a purification and enrichment engine if the water is too flat for our needs.

Awaiting your reply,

I believe a chapel for the religious folk can wait till the colony has been stabilized, we need to concentrate on the more important work

Personal Letter:

Dear Dr. Salazar,

Per our contracts such dealings are not allowed, but I cannot ignore the great potential for the advancement of our society. Here on this barren rock, miles away from regulations and red tape we have the opportunity to advance science unhindered.

I have noticed your ambitions to genetically modify lichens and moss. I have also noticed the constraints of your lab have delayed my requested water analysis reports.

I propose that under the table we help each other with our personal endeavors: I will give you Deck 3 of the new atrium to conduct your genetic experiements. In exchange I ask that you push my lab tests to the top of your lab's priority lists.

Secrecy is paramount. Reply discreetly.

- Carson

>>9386689
You show a disappointing habit of not listening, Sir.

We have been contracted on a moments notice and not entirely legally. I suspect that was what you wanted to hear?

Once again, I assure you that no harm will befall any of your people. We are only here to watch over this settlement.

>>9386690
Officer, glad to have you on the channel again. May I query if you have any standing orders on passing complete control of the colony to the military, namely, this here cadet Raynolds, giving the boys in green the right to do whatever they want to us?

- Requisition dedicated agricultural facilities to provide excess food.

- Requisition water purification and reprocessing plant.

>>9386751
Then you might want to just watch Cadet. We know what we're doing, so don't get your trousers all bunched up if there are some breaches of regulation. Especially with Dorkins, he's a bit outspoken, but he's damn good at what he does. So take it easy. There's not enough air on this rock for arguements.

>>9386751
So what you're saying here is that you're not here on any legal basis, without any documentary proof that you are who you claim to be, and that you possess any of the rights you claim to have?
You know, for a pirate raid target spotter, you're standing dangerously close to this hydraulic cutter, and dangerously far from the landing zone.

>>9386729
Dear sir or madam.

This is an excellent idea! I shall do my best to be as secretive as possible. But I still require a geneticist as well as appropriate lab facilities. I believe that this barren rock could become an Eden with proper terraforming techniques followed!

I will make sure to follow proper secretive channels.

Regards,

Doctor Aurelius Salazar.

That is in direct violation of the Security Operations Transcript. The military is only to step in when shit hits the fan really hard. Until then they have the same clearence of any of the colonists. Me and my force have security covered so the Cadet can calm himself down.

Finally, a man of reason. My name is Jim Raynolds.

Your superiors have bestowed upon me the right to assume direct control over the security measures of this here settlement, but you seem like a capable man, so i'll let you stay in charge.

Now then, shall we discuss the location of our barracks?

Dorkins, Raynolds, listen. I don't really care about military presence one way or another... But COULD YOU TWO MOVE? I'd rather not get blamed when one of you falls into my mining sites.

*Carson finds the note from Salazar and notices it is shoddily sealed*

"I can only hope no one saw this before I did..." Carson thought before tossing the letter into an incinerator

Requisition Request A-42

Central command, it has come to my attention that the productivity of the Atrium currently under construction could be doubled or even tripled with the help of a dedicated Geneticist. I realize that central command is uneasy about drastic genetic modifications, however I assure you that the scientist's expertise will only be used to engineer plants that grow better in zero gravity. Such genetic modifications of food stuff has been well documented on Earth and proven to be safe.

Personal letter:

Salazar, please deliver letter to me personally! I fear we may have been sloppy. In any case i have used my resources to request the geneticist you need. Please! Command thinks I am merely modifying fruits and vegetables.

Hmmm...seems fishy but looks legit. Fine, but you and your men are to behave according to this colony's standards, no special treatment. As of right now you all are just like any other colonist, that means you get to help out in the work instead of standing around with your guns all day.

Dorkins listens to Reeds talking, scowl on his face.
"Fine, Officer, if you want to believe this shady man... you're in charge of security, after all"
Leaves to work on the sats.

We also have to build two defense emplacements.
(Or else the nobles will get an unhappy thought?)
I suggest anti-air. Or anti-space. Whatever.

****** Request - Late night fabricator use. I require small solar powered heat lamps with localized sensor suites and the use of a rover to deploy said items across the planets surface. It may take a long time to suitably cover the entire planet... But it would be worth it.

side note - Each heat lamp would posess a minute trace of genetically modified lichen and mosses to encourage growth of the plantlife on this planet. Begin production of the lamps now, to be ready when the geneticist appears.

Salazar! How are you? *shakes hands* Soon you will have everything you need to begin your experiments. So about our *cough* agreements.

It has com to my attention that I need more energy for a personal gardening endeavor. Could you perhaps recommend to central command that 4 new Sun Catchers be built around the Atrium. I am in need of the extra power and UV radiation...

A gruff-looking old man arrived with the last batch of colonists. He seems pleased with the new atrium, but is curious as to "why in the hell you idiots are growing terran plants in low-grav." The inside of his quarters are covered in a viney, nut-bearing plant. He refuses to share the nuts, but offers to work on some "enhanced" plant life to begin planting.

How are you? How are the wife and kids? How's the infection? I hope you've gotten it cleared up. That rash looked rather alarming!

Anyways. I will let the Fleet know of our need for a skilled Physicist, thank you for your suggestion!

Regards,

Salazar


***** Request - Skilled physicist to handle R&D as well as metallurgical studies concerning elements 114 and 115

We need more pylons.

*get's walked in on once more by a stranger.* I say! I don't know you! Why don't you get out of my laboratory and let me get back to work! You're interupting important work, Important steps towards Progress, and most importantly. Science!

*Promptly grabs a broom and waves it in the air in a threatening manner... twice, before letting it lower and ends up panting*

OP's working method revealed!

1) Prepare a bunch of characters and buildings you'll be using in the new village
2) Make sure all of them make it to the village one way or another. Regard actual user suggestions with a grain of salt, especially ones you don't have prepared pictures for.
3) Never delete anything in the village drawn so far. The only exception is moving whole blocks. Every human drawn is there forever.

"I've given Carson a batch of seeds that will grow a grape-like plant that should be relatively easy on everyone's stomachs. Eventually I'll introduce a more heavily modified version that you could replace everyone's diet with if you were so inclined."
He looks around, grabs a clipboard off a desk and hands it to Salazar. It's a form mostly related to soil content.
"Get that filled out by some geologist grunt so I know what kind of dirt I'm dealing with and I'll get you a plant."

>>938765
wow... did it honestly take you untill #5 to work that out?

i think the majority of people got it in #4

The AI construct bows shallowly at the waist, eyes closed for a moment as if processing his request.

'Of course Doctor, I will take note of your preferences on future inquiries.', she looks about as if scanning the room.

'May I requisition for yourself a locking filing cabinet, Doctor? It will not tax the colony resources in its production and may be a boon to your organizational efforts and need for security."

>>9387617
Dr. Salazar;

I regret to inform you that Maria left me, went to Südafrika to live with her sister. The infection took my right leg but I was outfitted with an excellent bio-mechanic prosthesis. I thank you for your support and look forward to working with you space-side. I plan on bringing a mobile laboratory, so if the colony has a prohibition on folded-space containers see if they'll make an exception.

Dr. Corleone

... and IT'S DONE! ... wait, no.... *tightens a few screws* now it's done! -The- most delicate sensor array any of you will ever have the pleasure of seeing. In fact, one of these babies can probably tell that you all have lice, straight through your space-suits! Now we just need to finish up the satellite! Dorkins!
DORKINS! Where the hell did that boy go...?

OP here guys, this thread will continue tommorow night and the night after that, possibly for a week straight. this isnt like the other sessions, as there are no big monsters or stuff like that, this is all role play and reaction.
i hadnt built in the big fusion generators yet because they are too advanced for our little colony, they would power much more than we would need realisticly.

make sure to archive this thread so you can read over it before tommorow nights session starts.
Interesting vibe this time around with more and more colonists and researchers arriving to the base, i want to install a fleet command unit that has access to larger teck but i think thats for later on,.. theres no real set teck levels in this setting, I saw USN fleet command as controlling settlements through the use of specs for the fabrication units and it built from there.

>>9387751
Are you leaving?

can we get like a PST hour for when this stuff will resume?

well goodnight then.

bye bye!

have fun epic drawguy

>>9387751
So, what do we have in the setting anyway?
How frontier/established is the whole colonization thing? Are there hostile aliens/pirates/other fun stuff (tm) ?

i'm in england at the moment, i'l start the thread again at 2 pm london time.

>>9387793
GMT is the world-wide standard, minding that we have at least one Russian and one Malaysian.

Through all coms public and private. a gentle chime sounds, alerting all to a coming announcement:

'Tonight's meal shall be wheat noodles with reconstituted beef and soy based tomato sauce. This evenings meal will be served with a choice of rehydrated peach pie, or dehydrated Rocky road ice Cream.

'In the crew lounge, will be showings of the complete series of Lord of The Rings. The USN apologizes for the lack of modern movies, and hopes to update the media library in the next Data Burst."

"All personell are adviced to finish personal messages within the next 2 hours, in order to make the daily Data Burst to Fleet Com."

"I wish you all a good day"

>>9387835
Thanks for the effort, you're awesome!

>>9387751

I know I'm having fun.


.... I WANT MY DATA CENTER.

Also, people, vote for the thread on suptg.
2? What kind of score is that?

>>9387898
link?

Whats the tag to search for?

>>9387833
i thought i'd watch to see if the base manages to destroy itself somehow, i'm not in it to end the sessions they just inevitably self destruct once people reach a certain level within the world, i figured this would be alot different in this setting as it starts with the feeling of a colony working together to acheive the mandate goal of the bettermant of the race, but there are allready gaps begining to show with the military presence.. not my doing at all thats all you guys.haha, but hey i'l take it as far as it goes with this one.

the map will continue to expand and i'l keep making it interesting, i draw as much as possible, there is a little recycleing but thats just so you dont have to wait an hour for me to draw another buggy or a worker dude lifting a post.

>>9387889
a data center is a cool idea i'l put that in first update next session, allready know how it will look too. maby built into the new comunications array ?

It's known as Village Drawing RPG, dvf and Stratedgy Quest, if you search the page by titles.
Village seems to me the most common tag, but not all of the threads have it.

also its the 20th anniversary of the hubble telliscope so that was the initial thing behind a space colony game

>>9387974

I'm game.

I like to think that AIs in this setting deal with the mundane things like making sure the doors open and close, toiletries function properly and adding into rosters who does what fixing when something breaks.

Wanderer was built into the short range colony ship, and was a bit overwhelmed with the ammount of data.

Alyssa was a repurposed Warship AI that was part of a redirected Data burst instead of being wiped,

... at least how I see it.

>>9388009
20TH?! This damn thing is almost as old as I am, gods.

Also, of course, I understand that you inevitably have to use recycling, but as far as I can tell from the previous threads, by the end of a long session you become tired and miss overlapping things and leftovers and that.

Frankly, I'm more than willing to wait for one more day and see you in this threads at your best shape.

>>9388044
>>9388044
>>9388044

Also things like the daily burst transmissions to Fleet Com. and managing the data archives and monitoring the crew. I like to think the AIs pick the menu of food to serve to lessen crew stress...

>who does what fixing when something breaks
Choosing between Dorkins, Dorkins and Dorkins while everyone else is busy with building techie stuff, but of course.

>>9388097
>>9388097
>>9388097

Granted, theres limited choices... but, hey, you could always request more technicians? XD

>>9388097
There are engineers among my men, you know.

>>9388182
Oh right. There's the right way, the wrong way, and the army way of doing things.

Nice work OP

>>9388182
Weren't you boys busy building *snort* bunkers?

>>9388381
We're yet to see if any of those are *snort* hermetical.

*wakes up from cryo nap*

'...'

I take one nap. One _measly_ nap! And the colony goes to the fascists! Sigh, typical.

Lister, if you don't mind bringing me up to speed, I'll take account of the new personnel and I wish to speak with this... Cadet Reynolds, personally.

Now where did I put my note chit?

>>9388589
Aren't you glad Dorkins was near. He's such a helpful guy. Go go dorkins rangers!

>>9388660

I suppose I should thank him for taking charge during my absence. He will have a favorable review come next quarter.

You make them far too fast. Give the frame changes some two seconds, and a long pause at the end.
