[SEMIOPEN LOG] EXPEDITION 1 TEAM 2

[cdr_ryuuzaki]

 Semi-open log for the first expedition, Team 2 (Hiyoshi-Oshitari Y- Uion - Ibu).

How this works: only characters involved in this event can tag in this log. Set up categories/threads as needed, for example :Camping, Digging, More Digging. Other characters can also tag eg if someone makes a comm call, but make sure you ask/inform that person first, and this should not take up significant portions of the log. As always, ask in the Discord if you have any questions.

Have fun!

Re: We've arrived!!

As much as he hated to say it... "Probably wait. It wouldn't be good if all four of us were taken out at once." At least the mass didn't seem to be reacting to the surface samples being taken.

He shifted in his seat and premptively started up the rest of the drones, just in case he had to move them all out to help Hiyoshi at short notice. "If something happens, I can set my drones to auto, you drive us closer and I'll use the big gun on the top."

Niou paused. "Or I could just sacrifice a drone now and see what happens...? Before anyone gets too close to the edge?"

Yuushi nodded at Niou's plan in case of emergency and hoped to god they wouldn't need to protect Hiyoshi and Ibu from a sudden attack.

"As for 'sacrificing a drone', Mr Uion, I am torn between the need to preserve our technological resources and the need to preserve our crew members." He chuckled darkly. Of course, if they did lose a drone he could probably afford to have it come out of his department's budget in the spirit of inquiry and such. "All right, sending a drone is the best way to determine whether it's even possible to get closer to the water, so we won't be wasting time. Let's hope we don't end up losing it entirely."

"I have plenty of drones, I can sacrifice one, it's fine."

He did recall back the others though, away from the edge, just in case. "Hiyoshi, stay away from the surface, I'm going to send a drone down to either collect deeper water samples or uh, get destroyed. Mr Oshitari, just keep an eye on the data anyway. Even if the drone gets destroyed, it'll have some information we can use."

Niou almost felt guilty as he controlled the one sacrificial drone to enter the water, watching the sensors on it. "Turning on the external camera..."

"Understood." He'd been hesitant to approach the water the moment he heard that they'd seen something on the radar, so there were no arguments here. Immediately he starts herding Shinji away from the water, despite them not being particularly close.

"Film over there for a while."

[chickens]

Well... the drone hadn't been immediately eaten when it had entered the water. And the mass didn't seem to be moving or anything.

Niou peered at the video footage coming through and sent the drone closer. "It's... like... coral?" he said, confused. But it didn't seem to be moving, in any case. "Mr Oshitari, what do you think? I can take scans of it, but I'd need to use other drones."
