"Just keep a science team in orbit to monitor the planet long term. We'll keep that Frigate here to accomodate them until we can build something permanent. We can possibly introduce wildlife and plants later if we need to, as well. We'll learn more before dropping PRefabs and scientists. What...
As Colton approached the horse, he heard the distinctive 'Ch-Chk' of a shotgun. A man was standing on the porch of the store, aiming the weapon at Colton.
"I think you're going to want to step away from my friend's horse, and get off my property."
"Dude, just go, and leave my horse alone,"...
Have a science team start pulling samples of the wildlife on O1104-B, and see if we can plant it on another planet without causing severe contamination, or at least preserve the animals in zoo conditions.

Terraforming Techniques
Advanced Power Systems...
"Then send a Frigate with a Science team to perform additional, close-up readings of the planet. I'd like a report on what it might take to conduct a landing, soon. Let's send a probe to 01102-B and check out its moons."

"Well, don't say shit like that when people who work for the guy are around. Namely, me, all right? If you get caught saying that sort of thing around me, we both get in trouble. Pile's got a lot of friends. But if you're just looking for a job, we've got openings on the...
"Not a problem. The name is John, John Grocer. You wandered onto my property at an interesting time. I have your guns and gear locked in a cabinet downstairs. I didn't want to take chances. Can't be too careful. You'll get them back when you leave, don't worry."
"Do you see any fucking phone lines out here?" he snorted, swatting Cole's hand out of the way, "I don't even own a fucking radio much less a phone. Only place you'll find a phone out here is Fort Heineman connected to Witchita and Omaha. If you ain't Hyde out here you ain't shit."
"Is the planet inhabitable? Can we walk the surface?" the Admiral asked, "And are we getting any Occuli readings? I don't want to get blindsided by those things. If not, we should consider making a salvage depot here and see if we can't reuse some of this technology and the hulls."
"Damn, boy, what did you do, sleep in the mud? Get in here!" the store owner called to him. He was still holding his shotgun from earlier, but he didn't seem to have any intention on using it in any manner. He motioned for James to come inside. Just as Jim made his way up the stairs, a wave of...
"Right this way," he motions, and brings you to a single table towards the back of the restaurant. Your back is to the wall, so nobody will be able to get the jump on you. The smell of food cooking is nothing like what you're used to back in Japan; Americans like their food grilled and fried...
"You've been out of the loop for a little bit," Michael said, following Alex, "Hyde's been refocusing everything off of military infrastructure and towards civil infrastructure. I think things are about to get a lot better. Especially for engineers. He's had a need for a lot of engineers. I got...
Roll Presence+Intimidate (3)
vs Composure+Intimidate (4)
Colton wins
"His name is Jordan Felt, he's just an old man. White, balding hair, lots of wrinkles, just under six feet. I don't know any of that other shit, I don't even know where he lives. Now let me go!"
Rolling, Chase Scene (9 for Kamiko, 9 for the mob)
3 vs 2/3 crit fails
The mob gave chase, but were too drunk and ended up tripping over themselves and each other. Kamiko entered the restaurant without difficulty. The host at the front was surprised to see a small Japanese woman wearing a...
1 Success, hypothermia still there
The bikers grumbled and filled their tanks, including the big, single gas tank. A few entered the store and came out with some groceries and ammunition, then the bikers let out some hoots and hollers, and drove off.
"Fuck, man, I don't know where he gets it! I just deliver them! He and the other delivery guys come to my house three times a month and he distributes our runs to us, plus a little extra if he can afford it."
Rolling Hypothermia (4) 3 successes
As James crunched up and watched, he started feeling warmer, and his hypothermia slowly starts to subside. (+2 to further hypothermia rolls)
