[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!

General cruisin on day one thread

Ah yes, beautiful scenic Izanagi, complete with picturesque views of rocks, sand, and... rotting dead sandworms. God. They were everywhere. Hiyoshi was CERTAIN he could see finger marks in the one they were driving past right now.

"...someone needs to put Tooyama on a leash."

Stupid conversation round one: short-nosed bear sasquatch theory

[spaceninja144]

"--Also, the air is really thin at those altitudes. Humans aren't thinking properly with those blood oxygen levels. If you're hunting in the Andes and you don't expect to see a bear and suddenly you see one standing on it's hind legs in the distance, of course it's going to look like a monster. They did genetic tests on the fur of a pelt that someone claimed came from a yeti, and it came back as the DNA of a short-faced bear that was supposed to be extinct. Of course they lost the records because people were sloppy back then, so there's no way to prove it, but IF short-faced bears were still surviving in small numbers way up in the mountains it could explain sightings there. Not in North America though, the sightings there don't have a convenient explanation like that and--"

Zzzzz - driving is boring

[chickens]

The growing boredom from staring out at the monotonous landscape, and his sleep debt were finally starting to catch up to Niou. The sand was just endless and all looked the same. And thus far, the radars had all been silent. And there was a limit to how much good pinching himself on the leg and biting the inside of his lip did to staying awake eventually.

During one of the monologuing - so much monologuing. Why was there so much monologuing from two people?! - Niou dozed off.

We've arrived!!

Since Ibu had noticed the skies darkening before most everyone else, it made sense to him that he also noticed the environment changing. The sand looked more white than before and it all looked a bit... frosty.

"Could someone check the monitors for location? I think we may be at or close to our first destination." Or at least to a stopping point because he really wanted to stretch. "I've already switched to my weather-protection gear coverings so there's no need to wait for me when we do stop. Our suits are also made to withstand the change in temperature, right? As there's little to no sun, it's likely to be much colder here. Which reminds me of the expedition I took to the southern Martian pole. We had thermal gear, of course, but we were all still quite cold and couldn't be outside for more than 30 minutes before needing to go back inside for 2 hours to warm back up. This meant we could only trek about 10 minutes from our base, do some minimal work, then make the hike back. Unfortunately, this meant we didn't get as much done as we wanted until we were able to set up a chain of mini-bases. Those only held about three of us at a time, so we had to be careful."

Because Niou told him to

Looks up from his comm and looks at Uion.

"I like you and I think you're competent."
