Canis MinorOrder SciCorp to develop automated factories and to launch a feasibility study on the possibility of teleportation technology on a large scale.
SciCorps initial forays into teleportation technology are widespread. alot of theories begin to emerge initial research begins, Sci-Corp's head scientists make a number of requests, a large (larger the better) fusion engine, a black hole, 2 tons of heavy metals, a trio of space capable probes and they also request 2 tons of metal for construction of new aparatus. (that is yet to be designed)
Send out the first mining ship to trawl the asteroid belt for things to mine.
The drone begins its mining on a metal rich asteroid. Gathering and refining what it mines.
Continue constructions.
Construction continues on the projects around the colony. The SciCorp bunker reaches 25% and another MicroRefinery Mining drone reaches 75%. The AgriDrones and Dam are still on hold.
Gungnir Industries"Omer, start on the power source while we deal with this mishap. Rosenthal, start work on a universal translator, if you need to use the Trans System Audio Relay (TSAR) to contact the Hylians so be it. Also, the sooner the better please."
In a phenominal display of scientific might Omer laborotories unveil the new Harimaru Reactor. A whopping three times more powerful than the GUNGNIR's reactor, and possibly the most powerful reactor ever invented. Build costs are expected to be 3t of Heavy Metals and 2 tons of metal.
Rosenthals Universal translator takes more time to complete though. Current audio samples of Hylian langauge proving hard to understand.
"Start construction of an SR1 frigate, try to get it finished within this turn, but don't cut any corners doing so."
Construction of the SR1 Frigate begins and the chassis/powerplant are built. Most of the internal structurre is complete however internal paneling and external skin along with the computers and sensor equipment will have to wait for more metal.
"Check out the strange space station using a Wolf frigate, on-board have some normal marines, an Excalibur squad as well as a small team of scientists. Also, if the SR1 Gallipoli has finished construction, give it the same amount of extra crew and send it to the last known location of the Xexelith Can interceptor."
The Wolf Frigate leaves for the station, preliminary flyby and scans dont show anything new. what appears to have been a landing pad now coated with rock is inoperable and the marines have to drill their way through an external wall.
Inside the place is full of dust. Illuminators snap on and the search party begins to fan out through the station, What appears to have been a command and control room is full of molten slag, no boilogical remains have been found aboard the station yet.
Digging deeper the marines discover the housing and common spaces. Only bedframes remain, but the frames appear to have accomodated considerably larger than humans, roughly twice the height though only a little more broadshoulderd than the marines.
Bathrooms, common rooms, bed rooms. All empty, further in a gigantic mining array is uncovered. the cylindrical room bores furhter into the rock than the teams torches can see, the scientists take photographs and notes on the mining aparatus, some kind of bladeless design, Theories of tractor beams or lasers are rife while some say it could jsut be missing its drill bit.
The marine team begins to drop into the tunnel, 100m, 200m, 300n, 4... 392m the tunnel stops. Slowly comming to a point it appears the mining array uncoverd some kind of vessel in the rock. inital images are sent back, the ships size is unknown as only a portion of it is embedded in the rock. The team radios back the discovery. awaiting orders.
From the nearby anomally a message is broadcast to Gungnir "Perhaps if you have the metal, we could release the marine and his Can. 5 tons should be a reasonable sum"
GehennaImplement the new chemical refining methods, while beginning new research on using fusion reactions to provide the energy needed for mass smelting of heavy metals.
New chemical smelting goes into service (+2 refining) While Gehennan scientists devise a series of purifiers for heavy metals, Using the reactors magnetic field as a distilation method they beleive they could refine the heavy metals into their more pure forms. Weather or not this is wise is a highly debated topic between the science and saftey devisions.
Develop a heavy, multipurpose mining cruiser, complete with a micro-refinery, storage for several drones, and a powerful engine for moving asteroids.
Designes for the first mining cruiser begin, a number of prototypes are assembled before a final one is selected. The Gehennan mining cruisers final design settles on a cruiser capable of hauling 25 tons of Drones and materials. A full sized chemical refinery (200p/t) is offered in the plans however a micro refinery(50p/t) could be used saving an additional 5 tons of mass.
Along the same lines, think of ways to reduce mining laser burnout and atmospheric distortion (probably by additionally using some kind of "tunable" electron laser).
Gehennan scientists believe one of the materials found in the heavy metals when distilled would provide a better focusing rod for the laser. Adjustments to the power draw and frequency alowing the laser to draw much more power and retain focus through higher concentrations of atmosphere. The Model 22a Mining Laser boasts a 250kg payload before expiring. With the distilled heavy metals The Model 22b could manage 250kgs with a cooldown before starting again. Estimated lifespan would be 5 tons before needing to be replaced.
Nono EntromiyboIncrease colony size. If needed, move people into space.
As the colony increased the population begins to spread between the two. keeping happy and content as they expand, some begin to offer up moving to the F system base.
Start getting scientists to develop FTL travel.
Nonipan scientists begin work in FTL travel however are unable to progress far due to constant inadaquasies in equipment or any former knowledge required
Try to create cures for any of the diseases that are bound to happen when people are in such proximity.
Scientists from the bioweapons program are greatful to move into something more positive and work begins exploring the bugs likley to occur and common ways to battle them.
ThimaiContinue breeding program.
The breeding program continues to expand and the space station fills out, some inital concernes are raised that the colony is running out of space at the moment.
Begin militarizing population. All males and females will receive basic combat training at their coming of age, and are required to serve for a certain amount of time.
A conscription service begins, a years service at every Thimains 17th year till their 18th. The first conscripts begin their years service in 6 monthly draws.
Get more of dat metal.
Dat Metal is harvested, and refined with all speed the drones can manage, engineers report they could boost the mining output by 25% however could cause reliability issues with either the drones or the colony ships small refinery.
XexelithNo messages can be heard from the Xexelith colony. Their distance causes some to wonder has some kind of calamity occured aboard their colony ship? or are they moving into an iron curtain?.
Klik'TarThe corvette arrives tumbling through the oort cloud, malfunctioning scanners pick up two massive ships in orbit of a nearby planet.
The corvette voilently collides into an asteroid. Whatever was left of the fusion drives has just left the ship. after a short journey the ship begins to burn in atmosphere before finally colliding with something solid. After a few moments whats left of the ships systems show you are floating on an ocean expanse. Whats left of the crew begin to peice together what they can.
Also im in the IRC fairly often you guys should join, 'tis fun to talk off topic at times.
My First Go!
