You were part of a crew on a Vessel sent from the far reached of Zeta Reticuli, a wide binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum. You belong to a species of synthetic silicon based lifeforms. 7 earth-years ago, you came into the Sol-system on a mission to find a reliable source of Morridium, a rare element crucial to the long term survival of your species.

Recap:
Chapter I: Arrival
The crew conducted a Mission to Earth to the continent of North-America and thoroughly inspected the human species. Having found potential in planet Earth, the crew's Engineer, Worker I, Worker II and a Mining Drone were left on the Moon to establish a base of operations. The crews Commander, Pilot, and Scientist continued on to a mission to the continent of Africa.
They never returned.

Chapter II: Marooned; With no means of leaving or communicating the remaining crew was left stranded on the moon. The next 7 years were spent arduously mining for resources and constructing a vast underground base with numerous facilities.
In this time they established Large Anti-Matter Cannons to ensure their safety. As years passed, Worker I assumed leadership and became the new [Commander], And Worker II specialised to replace the former [Scientist]. They built additional drones to help gather resources, found strange traces of life on the moon, established communications with earth, as well as with a sinister and distant organization. they advanced several fields of research and hold an impressive arsenal of new tools at their disposal. But much remains to be done to ensure their survival and to complete the mission.

Chapter III: A Way Out.
Recently, a new Vessel was acquired. Trough the effort of the Crew, A Bio-Organic Ship was restored to health. Although much about the ship remains a mystery, it brings with it a new hope of taking back the sky...

The [Scientist] spends the coming weeks studying the Remnant. He notices that the ship is still weakened, but it's gradually regenerating and in a couple of weeks the hole in the bottom and crack in the side should have completely closed by itself. He makes several noteworthy discoveries, firstly, in healthy conditions it gradually produces microscopic quantities of element 115 and stores them in pockets or glands inside the stasis pod. These quantities are are so small it could take many years to produce enough to take off or power a different vessel, if you found a way to condense the gaseous vapour into a solid form.
Secondly, the creature currently shows no noticeable signs of intelligence or ability to processes language. On a biological level it is incredibly evolved and many times older then most known species. But as far as language or customs go they do not seem to posses them. It seems to have much more in in common with a plant or mollusc then with a walking, talking bipedal life-form.
Thirdly, the scientist inspects the ship's controls to come to a disturbing realisation. The ship has no interface because it controls everything on a biological level. Navigating the ship would be like asking your arm to grasp a tool, It's something that happens on a neurological level. Only the ship can truly command itself to fly or navigate. And since the stringy nervous system inside the stasis-pod does not seem to possess the means and ability to processes language, you would need to find a way around this.

>Study Implications of Harvesting Element 115
>Study Implications of a Revenant/Grey Hybrid
____________________________

[The Engineer] insist that ever since he made the changes to stabilize the Tunnel Drones and altered their A.I, they are no longer the cutting-edge invention he intended them to be. With his original design, he wants his drones to be able to self-replicate, and requests the commander to remove all fail-safes and revert them to their original programming.
does the Commander allow this?
>Yes
>No.
>>
>>3638780
>>Study Implications of a Revenant/Grey Hybrid
>Yes
sure but this is a trial period
>>
>>3638780
[Commander] and [Mining Drone] Gather Resources (+5BR)
>>
>>3638786
but make sure it cant harm grays directly or indirectly
>>
The [Scientist] believes a Revenant/Grey Hybrid is theoretically possible. If this creature survives, the chances of being able to interact with each of our species increase significantly. However, their physiology is extremely different and he will have to monitor it's development closely for undesirable traits. this experiment has never been done, and results may vary. You would need to acquire a Gene-Splicing Facility to attempt this.

The [Engineer] studies the [Tunnel Drone] in detail. He disassembles a few parts and begins to remove all components and additional programming that were painstakingly installed a few years ago to prevent the machine from acting unpredictably. The Engineer reasons unpredictability can be a virtue and is a sure sign of intelligence and agency, now that all fail-safes have been removes, he can allow it's true brilliance to shine brightly as his creation regains all its original features. It should be much smarter now and will want to replicate now once it has gathered enough resources.

Any additional measures are taken ?
>None, Proceed to work.
>[Fail-safe]. Include a rudimentary scanner and tweaks to A.I that prevent it from harming any lifeforms.(-2BR)
>[Kill-Switch] A handheld device that allows you to shut down the machine in case of emergency. (-2BR)
>Change your mind and spend time and resources to work out any unwanted behaviour......again. (-15BR Cost.)

[Commander]:[Brief Engineer]: The Commander can assist the Engineer if the Engineer chooses to craft an item located within the [Command Centre] Such as an [Anti-Matter Ray-Gun] or a [Long Range Scanning Device.] It lowers the DC of the crafting check by 3 that turn. However, the [Engineer] is currently not crafting any device located in the Command Center.

-[Commander] could not assist Engineer this turn, gathered resources instead. +1BR
_______________________________________

-The [Engineer] crafts a [Masterpiece Blueprint] (DC lowered by 8) for the [Gene splicing/Cloning Facility]. This incredible design comes with an inbuilt [Incubator.]

The [Scientist] Researches the [Gene-Splicing/Cloning Facility]
-A [Gene-Splicing/Cloning Facility] is an upgraded version of the [Incubator]
It allows you to grow subjects of which you posses [Bio-Organic Material] in 1D4 Phases

-the [Gene-Splicing Facility] allows you combine two units of [Bio-Organic Material] to form a new creature. This creates either a [Hybrid] or a [Wretch] depending on the combination. success in this field may require a dice roll.

-Without Morridium, you cannot make a pure Grey.

-Using [Gene Splicing Facility] you can inscribe your genetic data onto a different creature DNA and "piggy-back" on it's biological functions in order to reproduce. Creatures formed in such a manner are called [Hybrids.]

-[Hybrids] come in many forms and almost all are inferior to [Greys]
This depends on the host creature. Some species may prove incompatible

A [Wretch] Is a failed experiment, a life-form mixed between two incompatible lifeforms and unlikely to survive if left to its own devices.

You currently posses the following:
[Bio-Organic Material: Grey] [Bio-Organic Material: Revenant]

(DC lower to 20: (Total: 12 with Blueprint)

[Tunnel Drone] used all available resources in the Engineer's Workshop to craft an identical, completely functional replica of itself.

-Red lights flickering to life from circular lenses at the the front of its head. It wastes no time and immediately springs into action. With oddly synchronised movements, both tunnels drones slither back into the tunnels to gather more resources.

Over the coming weeks, the Engineer continues construction of a [Anti-Matter-Ray Gun].

He finds he's having difficulty, until he stumbles upon several useful and precious resources scattered across the [Engineer's Workshop] and the [Resource Processor].

Using these he eventualy manages to finish construction.
[Gained Anti-Matter Charge x5]
[Gained: Anti-Matter Ray-Pistol]
[Gained +30BR]


This handheld design emits an incredibly powerful thin beam of energy capable of instantly disintegrating most know materials and lifeforms. It comes fully loaded and may be used up to 5 time before it needs a recharge

The weapon proves to be excellent, but by the time he's finished the project he finds little reason to rejoice and has grown ever more suspicious. Amongst the rare resources he discovers components that were not thought to be available. Furthermore, parts of Zeta-Reticuli Tech machinery are found scattered around that can only belong to part of our machinery.

Not much later, the [Commander] emerges from the tunnels to inform [The Engineer] that our [Mining Drone] has gone missing. He failed to make contact using his communication device.
They both realise something has definitely gone wrong.

The Crew deactivates the Tunnel Drones. They remain motionless in a corner of the flight hangar while the crew heads down into the tunnels to look for the mining drone.

During your 8 years here, you have delved deep within the surface of the moon, your tunnels have formed a complex but structured labyrinth of tunnels that reach down miles and connect all pockets of resources to one another.

(16: Success)
The crews spends several days wandering trough the tunnels. Thanks to the Engineer and his [Tech Scanning Device] they eventually locate a Zeta-Tech signal not far from the [Dark Cavern Complex]

...they approach to find a cave opening with a pile of scrap in one of the corners. It's a dug out spherical husk of what was once our [Mining Drone] and has obviously been scavenged for parts.

fortunately some of our more complicated tech remains in place and can be recovered.

[Gained Mining-Beam]
(a short range laser cutter that welds trough steel. grants +1 on resource gathering and can be used as a weapon.)

Who equips the Mining-Beam?
>Engineer

-Gained [Anti-Grav Engine] (spacecraft part)
-Gained [Tractor-Beam] (small) (spacecraft part)
-Lost [Mining Drone]

The drone is beyond repair, but by carefully examining the remains, the Engineer gains some knowledge on how to build a new one. (DC lowered by 4)
_______________________________________

[Failure. 9, 8]
The crew returns to base to find not two, but three active tunnel drones processing materials in the Engineer's Workshop.

Year 8
Phase IIII

The Entire crew carefully monitors the Tunnel drones over the coming months. It has become quite apparent the [Engineer] designed them to emulate Bio-Organic lifeforms. Tunnel Drones are constantly working to ensure their long term survival by gathering enough resources in order to replicate and repeat.

They are self-learning and are rapidly becoming more intelligent as time goes by. Although hard coded to obey your commands, It constantly builds onto it's own source code in ways that become ever more complicated, unpredictable and difficult to manage.

As they grow in intelligence and numbers, eventually you may not be able to install any additional fail-safes at all.

The Scientist urges the group to act now that they still can, many cases can be found of unchecked lifeforms that reproduce to the point of endangering entire bio-spheres.

He claims the Radical design is a threat to the mission. He advices the commander to shut them down and disassemble. Or in the very least sterilise them all.

The Engineer seems personally insulted, he argues the very reason our species is threatened is because our creators chose to inflict us with such cruel limitations.

He believes the risk is entirely worth it and will help further the mission. He claims it will provide us with an abundance of resources in a short timespan.

He argues that even if the process would grow out of control. The Moon is just a barren planetary body in an infinite universe and is void of anything noteworthy to be endangered.

In a worst case scenario, it could take thousands of years before the drones hollowed out the moon to the point of of compromising it's internal structure, and it is much more likely they shut down before then.

The commander has a difficult choice to make. How do they choose to alter the drones now that they still can?


choose:

Option I:
>Keep Drones as [Radical Design]
Sentience , High-Intel, High-Autonomy, Self-Preservation, Increased Resource Collecting Ability, Ability To Replicate)
and install an additional failsafe [ Current : Pacifist [cannot harm life-forms]
>-Sterile: Cannot Construct/Replicate (2br per drone)
>-Killswitch: Handheld Device to Shut Down (2br per drone)
>-None.
____________________________________
Option II
>Revert Drones to [Proven Design]
(Non-Sentient, Low-Intel . Low-Autonomy, 100% obedient. Cannot self-replicate but has increased bonus to assist Engineer in Tunnel Drone Construction (-3DC])
and pay the following price:
>(drones gather only 4BR per round)
>(one time 10 BR cost per drone.)
___________________________________
Option III:
>Project Mother: Keep Radical design but Sterilise all but one of the Tunnel Drones (4BR)
Have the Mother Drone contained in a quarantined sector of the flight hangar. Remove means of mobility and shut it down until replication is desirable. re-activate it when we wish to provide the necessary resources. manually sterilise any new replicates before activation.
>>
Option IIII
_________________
> Dissassemble all drones for materials (Regain a large portion of invested BR)
>>
Only one of the tunnel drones gathered resources last phase while the other replicated. Total is 8BR
>>
after you have made your decision, they will spend the current phase gathering an additional 15BR.
>>
>>3642162
i am for option 3 this way we can manage there reproduction
>>
>>3642300
but lobotomize it
>>
>>3642300
>>3642322
the best bet is to down grade the mother make her a dedicated factory
>>
>>3642300
>>3642322
>>3642325
it would just be cruel if the factory was sapient also depending on how smart they become and if they are purely digital or a true ai with a brain that cant just be copied we could work on mechanical workers
>>
>>3642300
>>3642322
>>3642325
but we could remove pacifist but make it so they cant harm grays and must protect them and some loyalty programmed in
>>
>>3642300
>>3642322
>>3642325
>>3642339
possibly dumb them down a bit so they dont become more intelligent then one of us
>>
>>3642162
Option four set a fail-safe the only allow the TD's to replicate up to maximum Twice the number of grays at any given time. this ensures they have a vested interest in helping us survive and thrive.
>>
>>3642352
good idea we could give them instincts to protect us grays and be loyal
>>
>>3642363
yup
>>
>>3642352
>>3642363
and a important part is to make it want to do work for us
>>
ok to summarize we keep them under our intellect level
loyalty programming not so much they must follow exactly our wording but so they can consider and do it more effectively a kind
of give them protective instincts and natural loyalty and a like of being of service of doiung there tasks
>>
>>3642367
Not for us, with us, we have basically created a new species one we are responsible for guiding developing the choices we make will have an immeasurable impact on them. let us make sure they are the correct ones.
>>
>>3642372
ook thats better so kind of a symbiotic relationship and instincts that go with that
dont make them smarter then us give them some form of morality but not a forced pacifist
>>
>>3642375
exactly
>>
>>3642375
>>3642385
but for now we have a plan mother as a test run and we lobotomize the mother and make it a dedicated factory we dont want to be cruel
>>
Rolled 8, 12, 1 = 21 (3d20)

>>3642300
>>
>>3642390
I am actually against this plan as I think it will cause the TD's to turn against us. I think my proposed safeguard will solve the problem. as hard-coding the command "the number of TD's cannot be greater than twice the number of greys at any time" this would limit their replication ability making them dependant on our species growth for there own.
>>
>>3642394
but remove the organics limiter just a thing that says dont harm greys
>>
>>3642400
strongly disagree with this we don't want them harvesting mankind by accident.
>>
>>3642399
>>3642400
a kind of like a imprint that offspring have
>>
>>3642399
but i really like your idea for a hard-coded command but could we do something bigger then twice?
>>
but a idea for later we make a completely digital world and kind of randomly test what works possibly dna simulation
>>
>>3642410
at our current number, the max number of TD's would be 6. when we grow our number of grays to 10 they will outnumber us by 20. letting them grow any faster is too dangerous.
>>
>>3642423
ok understandably i was not thinking
>>
>>3642300

Trough the effort of the entire crew, all drones are rounded up and shut down. The engineer spends days tinkering with their internal machinery and installing additional fail-safe to prevent the two most recent drones from replicating. Your original mining drone is partly disassembled and mounted to a wall in a quarantined chamber inside the flight hangar. rows of mandibles and it's entire abdomen are removed to prevent it from moving around or prying loose it's own restraints. A few more long thin arms are installed for it to properly manipulate resources fed into the room.

It currently remains inactive and can be observed trough thick sheets of reinforced glass. resources can be fed into a machine at the front and all forms off access to the chamber require a grey handprint scan in order to function.The project is complete, and your new [Queen Drone] can be reactivated once you require more tunnel drones.

>>
>>3646464
>>Explain you will come to earth with our own spaceship as their astronauts return to earth.
>>
>>3646490
i am scared of leaving our base unmanned and its dangerous on earth
>>
>>3646487
We have a ship it will be fine as long as we take the right precautions.
>>
>>3646497
Then then with the time we have before they arrive let's set up the incubator and the cloning facility and make some hybrids that way the base isn't unmanned
and we have a back-up crew in case this main crew dies. However I really do think everything will be fine
>>
>>3646512
but those would be flawed human based clones WE CANT make more grays
>>
>>3646503
>>3646512
>>3646527
and the best we can get is worse and they can produce things that cant even survive on there own
>>
>>3646527
I think you're under estimating the Sci-Fi science of our gray boys here it wouldn't be a clone it would be a new hybrid species between greys and humans qm explain this a while back they would be called whites.
>>
>>3646464
qm please tell them about cloning
>>
>>3646534
Look man until we get more of the element we need to make greys we're going to have to make compromises and one of them is hybridizing Grey's with other species
>>
>>3646538
they would still be worse then grays and who would teach them? how would they know anything and >>3646544
i know that i just dont want to risk our greys and taking them away from there work more then needed
>>
>>3646544
it feels best to send a robot we can remote control with quantum links to avoid something like the greys crashing or getting blasted down its all the pros without the cons of negotiating in person
>>
>>3646464
>tell them we will send a robot/communication device to act as a proxy for us

>>3646544
i am paranoid due to how much stupid shit has happened at the start with the pyramid so if worst comes to show we lost a robot and not another grey again
>>
>>3646572
Ok,ok I can understand where you are coming from how about we compromise. Let make a synthetic Gray to act as a diplomacy guy.
>>
>>3646527
>>3646538
you are both kinda right. Growing Pure Grey's requires Morridium, which you don't have.

You can combine Grey DNA with another species to create a Grey Hybrid, these hybrids are almost always inferior to [Greys] It depends on the combination, making hybrids is the only way you can replicate right now.

[Whites] Grey/Human [Hybrids] show definate potential, they are superior to humans in all aspects. Physically more capable then both Grey and Human. Smarter then a human but nowhere near a grey in mental capabilities, should prove capable workers.
>>
>>3646599
Vendication
>>
>>3646604
Well, that idea is out the window. Ok so then let's make a White and send them to act as our diplomacy guy.
>>
>>3646599
so they are excellent but can in no way replace our more intelligent grays that have works like scientist and engineers
>>3646588
>>3646599
they mean a robot like pic related link >>3639312
>>
>>3646608
we can still make a robot thats quantum linked and grays are a synthetic species but we can still make a robot that looks like a grey
>>
>>3646572
so we do this and send over a robot we can control with a helmet or something
>>
>>3646619
this is my phone >>3646608

>>3646619
that can work we can use it as a conduit to "meet" the president.
>>
>>3646646
yes thats the spirit
>>
>>3646646
so what look should we go for ancient alien artifact?
G man a human like robot
a completely different species look like a gorg commander suit it looks like a spacesuit partly if that helps
obviously a robot look just a stright up robot
or should we do a as guardian suit that was suggested last thread
or we can go metallic but strangely organic as pic related
or we can do like a suit of armor
>>
>>3646709
i just love the look of a gorg
>>
>>3646660
>>3646709
>>3646720

lets just go with a grey look alike no need to go nuts.
>>
>>3646727
Ok i can respect that the classic look
>>
The crew discuses their options.
The Engineer offers sending a drone with a communication device as a proxy. But you know by now they are a difficult, time consuming, costly and possibly risky thing to build. A mining drone could be reliable choice for such a mission, but since he has been destroyed your only current option is send a tunnel drone or try crafting or expend all all your future resources on a new experimental design.

The Scientist says a Hybrid might be the best proxy. After-all these pods do not require a lot of resources. just a bit of luck, time and some bio-organic material. But you do not have a Gene-Splicing-Facility. And you currently do not have many options concerning Bio-Organic Material

They conclude the most straightforward way of contacting their leader is trough a direct radio or television transmission, or use your own spacecraft to navigate to earth.

Eventually, the crews tells the humans they will make a decision on their leader once they have had the chance to meet on the moon.

_______________________________________

the Commander sets off to explore the moon, he remains away for several weeks.
During this time, the Engineer and Scientist begin construction of a Gene-Splicing and Cloning Facility in the Biopsy Lab.

(I'm sorry)
[1,2: Catastrophic Failure)
At some point near the end of construction the Engineer is operating a crane, he's moving multiple vats of growth-hormones and gene-editing compounds. He fails to notice a leaking fuel cel in the crane's engine, and as he's moving it, the battery dies and the crane abruptly shuts down. The momentum of it's movement causes the crane to swing back and several vats to tumble to the ground. Disaster strikes, and the Scientist finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. the vats explode next to him in a chemical eruption of white gas and noxious vapours
Engineer manages to step outside the science lab right in time and seal the door. by an interface on the outside he alters the room pressure, opens the airlock and waits for the gasses to clear. a moment later he steps inside the room and walks closer as the final bits of mist evaporate. He find the Scientist lying in a pool of fluids....his flesh turned against him, writhing in agony.
The back of his head has grown to a monstrous size, he lies crippled on the floor, unable to carry his own weight. His left arm is crossed across his chest and fused together with his right shoulder in a grotesque mass of flesh. His legs are coiled into useless, feeble shapes and partly fused. Green veins throb at the back of his skull, expanding to the beat of his heart. What you see is barely recognisable as the grey you knew, an abomination, close to the brink of death.

What does the Engineer do?
>Put the Scientist out of his misery. (kill Scientist)
>Put him in a stasis pod nearby. (preserves vitals, keeps alive & puts to sleep)
>Leave the scientist to his own devices, go contact the Commander.
>Write-In.
>>
[Scientist II] (Grey) turned into [Scientist II] (Wretch) (Grey Mutant)
>>
>>3648930
>>Put him in a stasis pod nearby. (preserves vitals, keeps alive & puts to sleep)

we can fix this...eventually
>>
>>3649004


The Engineer goes trough great trouble dragging the scientist into a stasis pod without harming him further. his body is frail, heavy and slippery with chemical slime.

His stasis pod is a large reinforced glass tube used for growing clones. He's placed inside, a lever is pulled and the tube cylinder is filled to the brim with a thick green liquid. The Scientist's vital stabilises, his heartbeat slows down..... he falls into a deep, dreamless sleep.
The deformed figure now floats gently inside the fluids of the stasis pod.

[19. Unexpected, Miraculous Success] Several days later the engineer passes by the biopsy lab and suddenly swears he heard the scientists speak, impossible! He steps inside the lab to inspect and witnesses some unsecured lab tools floating in mid air, they fall back to the ground seconds later.
the Engineer approaches the pod to inspect. The Scientists large black eyes suddenly spring open and the Engineer suffers a small migraine as a loud echoing voice booms inside his head.

The [Commander] takes careful aim and fires his Anti-Matter Ray Gun

[Great Success]
He makes a direct hit, a blue sphere appears around the ship for a moment, but it is shattered in a white flash, one of the corners of the triangles is damaged the ship seems out of balance. its losing altitude rapidly. suddenly a spherical pod is ejected from the bottom of the ship at high speeds and slams into the ground not far from your location. The speed at wish the triangular ship is spinning suddenly seems to accelerate.

The triangular ship starts spinning so fast it begins to look like a circular disk, it emits a bright flash of light and suddenly vanishes. you see a thin trail of light extend into the distant. It appears to have used a hyperdrive charge to retreat.

The Commander takes aim at the circular pod, right as he is about to shoot. It glows bright green and dissipates. In its place you see a kneeled creature, as it stands, it appear about twice your size. It sees partly organic, but heavily implanted with tech, its arms seem to be replaced with some kind of weapon. you don't have time to completely analyse the being, and fire now you have the chance!

[Commander] has nothing more to interact with and returns to base.

The [Engineer] attempts to modify the Biopsy Lab Facility in order that the Scientist can operate. His pod, a smaller one, will be suspended by a lift mechanism that can allow his pod to move trough the entire biopsy lab. several arms with his tools will be attached to the pod that allow will allow him to handle his equipment and perform his duty's as the crew scientist.

[Great Success]
The Engineer completes his work on the science lab ahead of scheduled. It works perfectly, allowing the scientist to perform all his former duty's. perhaps even more efficiently now that he has several mechanical arms with multiple tools attached. With time to spare, the Engineer spends his efforts by crafting a rail in the ceiling that leads trough the central hub and into the Command Centre and Engineer's Workshop. Although not particularly fast, this should allow the [Scientist] to access most of the base while remaining safely inside his stasis pod.

[Success]
[The Scientist] spends the coming months getting used to his new condition, he has lost much, but gained many things in return. The first time he discovered Telekinesis, he could only lift small tools. they were left dangling like they were pulled upward by a string. Over weeks of practice in the lab. He hones his skills to perfection.
He makes great progress. he masters delicate movements, surgical precision as well as deadly speed and accuracy. During his most difficult exorcises, the vain on his brain pulse with green light, he cannot yet lift anything heavy-er then a crowbar. but he has what he needs to use all the tools the Engineer equipped him with.

The Tunnel Drones tunnel deep and harvest what they can. [+10BR]

Reading the mind of a non-biological life-form that does not posses a brain might prove to be extremely difficult if not impossible, i would allow you to try with a d20, try with but the queen is contained in the flight hangar, which the scientist currently does not have access to.
>>
>>3649719
maybe, I am starting to think that the TD's are smarter than we first expected. my goal in mind reading the queen is to establish a dialog. to come to some kind of understanding since we can't let them replicate uncontrollably we must figure out a way to make the Queen understand that.

[Commander]

The Commander returns to base, he informs the engineer they have dire need of a long range scanning device to monitor the moons activity. Without it, it will be hard to be aware of any ship activity around the moon. It is essential to properly detect, analyse and target threats at long distance. The humans are landing soon. Also, our location has been pinned down by an alien threat and we could expect more trouble in the future.

A [Long-Range Scanning Device] can accurately pick up signals around orbit and broad signals coming from earth. It's can be used to scan for tech, resources or lifeforms and makes other devices like the Anti-Matter-Cannons and Comm-Relay more useful and precise at long range. Additionally, it adds a +1 passive bonus to resource gathering and may help you uncover new leads and information concerning your mission.

The [Commander] recharges his weapon and spends the following week picking up transmissions and emersed in communications.

The Commander picks up a signal broadcasting repetitive beeps that are occasionally interrupted by a human voice speaking in an unknown language. the message is set on repeat. It appear to be coming from right outside the moons orbit.
“Mиp”
b-beep beep beep b-beep.
“Лeнин"
b-beep beep beep b-beep.
"Coюз Coвeтcких Coциaлиcтичecких Pecпyблик"

[15: Success]
The [Engineer] completes construction of the Cloning Bay and Gene-Splicing Facility.

The biopsy lab now contains a large mechanical tub, a literal gene-pool in which you cultivate, extract or alter genetic material. formulas can be fed into the stasis pods in the biopsy lab, this starts the incubation process of a new life-form, that once stable is rapidly grown to adult size.

The physical body of the [Scientist] that's would otherwise be in a constant state of agony, is numbed by the medicinal fluids of the stasis tank. It barely ever moves save it for the occasional blink of an eye. His mind seems to have escaped. It's presence is felt outside his container. It manipulates things around it trough mind and matter and does what he needs to further the mission.

The [Scientist] wishes to use his newfound abilities of mind-reading to conduct an experiment on the Queen drone. Unfortunately, In his new condition his movement is extremely restricted. perhaps the engineer can expand the rails to the hangar drones, allowing him to be lifted up vertically and horizontally to inspect the [Remnant] and [Queen drone.]
Or perhaps a new experimental land-vehicle must be built to remedy this in the future.


With his movement restricted to the lab. The [Scientist] instead tries out the new [Gene/Splicing Facility]

First Stasis Pod.
Grey/ Grey-Mutant Hybrid.
(Day 1: Gene-Splice complete, Embryogenic state commencing.)
(Day 4: Exhibiting rapid growth)
(Day 10: Growth Inconsistent, Subject shows strong deviation from original mutant sample, developing of a second head and a smaller extra limb forming from the ribs. one of the head is partly fused to a shoulder. Both craniums no larger then average grey. anatomy may currently not be feasible for life outside of stasis pod. no current neurological activity, may require Morridium.

He explains that these men are opposed to progress, freedom and liberty

Thanks to your help, the humans advance their weapons programme considerably. You help them develop a thermonuclear weapon that creates a firestorm that can cover over 100 square miles. The power of these explosions hold the same destructive force of the solar storms that that turned your homeland into an irradiated wasteland and wiped out your biological predecessor. It contains ionising radiation that can prevent non synthetic life-forms from flourishing for thousands of years after impact.

(Day 24: Glands in chest are producing element 115. Hypothosis: Subject does not posses the physical anatomy to stand on most planets but may posses limited anti-gravitational ability outside of pod.)
(Day 31) Subject developed a yellowish blue shell like plates. an exoskeletal structure over its face, chest and limbs, a growth that forms a protective armour.)
(Day 39: veins in extremities have formed more complicated pathways and are capable of movement. showing minor signs of muscle development, formation of shell like calcium storages turning to underdeveloped bones in hands and feet.
(Day 41: Subject will be able to survive outside out of stasis pod and navigate if it has a stored quantity of element 115. Subject appears to posses strong regenerative abilities and resistance to the elements.

_______________

The Engineer finds he's running out of time to build a proxy device before he humans arrive, he drafts a flawed blueprint. he rushed himself and overlooks many important elements.

Construction should be easy enough due to severe cutbacks in quality, but the results may prove unpredictable.

The Queen drone is activated from a switch outside its chamber. As soon as it awakens to find the materials at it's disposal, it begins construction, a few days later a fully functional drone emerges from the chamber, and the queen is once again deactivated.

The Scientist attempt to practice his Telekinesis, but his Biopsy lab is far from a good testing ground for lifting heavy materials. He fails to make any signifiant progress this phase, and is left feeling exhausted.

Gained Crew Member:
Subject II (Hybrid) (Remnant/Grey)
>>
>>3656840

much of its mass can be compared to strings of coiled vines. Subject's extremity's have shapes nearly identical to a greys hands and feet. but not functional and cannot carry it's own weight.

It possesses an [Anti-Gravity Field] dependent on Element 115. And natural [Regeneration]
He can cultivate element 115 in a favourable biosphere, one that can currently only be replicated trough a stasis pod.

Subject responds to audible stimuli, does not posses a mouth, lungs or vocal chords, no eyes, but seems highly aware of its environment from all direction. good reflexes
Subject shows excellent progress towards becoming the Remnant Vessel's [Pilot]

What do you want Subject II to do?
>Remain in Stasis Pod in Biopsy Lab.
>Remain in Stasis Pod but have the [Engineer] install it in the Remnant Ship
>Leave Lab. Levitate. Try to Communicate with Remnant Ship.
>Leave Lab. Levitate Open Remnant Ship Pod. Crawl Inside. Merge with Contents.
>Leave Lab. Levitate.Open Remnant Ship Pod. Crawl Inside. Consume Contents.

_______________________________________

The Scientist reads Subjects II's activity and knows that he is ready.
He collects a Bio-Organic sample from Subject II, an releases him from the stasis pod.
The fluids are cleared from the pod, the glass slides open. And Subject II rises into the air weightlessly, like a phantom.
Instinctively, he leaves the Biopsy lab and floats trough the halls of the base and into the flight hangar. As he approaches the Remnant ship, He touches it. The door and stasis pod inside unlock. The machinery at the top of the pod folds open and the Revenant hybrid crawls inside like you would a coffin. The Commander watches as brown and red vines insides the pod wrap around Subject II. constricting him, pulling him into place and overgrowing as the mechanical lid op the pod closes behind him and seals into place.
_______________________________________

For a moment, nothing happens, and just as the crew is beginning to worry several carts of construction tools around the Remnant Vessel slide back as the Anti-Gravity field shoots into action. For an instance the silhouette of the ship is surrounded by a glowing white lining as the Remnant rises into the air majesticly with a hum, and gently floats up and down in the middle of the flight hanger.

Remnant Vessel Activated!
