Sorry, yeah, 18:30 GMT.

We'll play today, Friday, February 16th at 19:30 GMT as usual.

Lower Cluster Exploration

Contact person: Mihailo - Da Vinci Prospectors, Oliver - Tower Engineering Society, Tino - The Horizon
Location: The Core
Time: Ongoing

Description:
We're looking for ways downwards from our current habitats. A lot of very important equipment is located below us, not the least of which are the Speedgrowth Chamber, The Reactor, and Storage Chambers 1 to 4.

So far we've met many obstacles on the way down. Since the Tower was designed to be maintained by the Chimbots, there are few passages large enough for humans to traverse. In addition the storm caused serious damage down there - it's a miracle of engineering that the Tower hasn't collapsed altogether. Nevertheless, huge leaks of radiation, as well as toxic and corrosive substances, plague many of the areas. One of the main power conduits seems to have been severely damaged as well, causing massive, random power spikes around the machinery, making exploration a deadly business.

We need specialists in Tower Construction as well as general Engineering to analyze our data to find the likeliest routes downwards. But in particular we need explorers. We don't lie to you, it's a very dangerous job - 7 of our 24 explorers have died so far. Any understanding on the Tower's technology is a great help for an explorer, but above all the job requires nerves of steel, patience and caution.

Processor Core 17 Restoration Project

Contact person: McGregor - Tower Engineering Society
Location: Silo
Time: Completed

Description:
We're going to do a large scale restoration job on the TAU Processor Core 17, located in the Silo in Labspace. This project is of utmost importance, since the Core is used by many of the TAUs AI processes, as well as the research stations in Labspace. Right now the core is working at only 65% capacity.

We require specialists in hardware to repair/replace the many circuits fried by the lightning strike. We also need skilled software engineers and AI specialists to reinstall many of the basic AI computing protocols.

Completed on 9.11.104: The core is now running at 92 % capacity - the best we can reasonably hope with current level of tools and spare parts.

This thread also has some things we'd like to see in MMORPGs.

Oh, and yes, I was in Seed for the roleplaying too. And the ability to have an effect on the storyline.

We at Servants of Evolution have come up with a perfect solution to this problem: Instead of building new floatbeds to serve our ever-growing need of sustenance, we should adapt ourselves in such a way we no longer need them in the first place. But instead of reactivating our primitive digestive functions, that require the growing of edible foodstuffs, we must device ways to directly harness the energy we have in abundance.

I'm talking about the field of cybernetics and surgical alterations. We could device a way to install a Compressed Nitrogen Cell in our bodies and use advanced nanotechnology to convert its energy into a form usable by our cells. The solution is elegant and doesn't require huge constructions or access into the Lower Cluster.

Of course, this project would require a lot of scientific work to become reality, but if we put our minds to it, there's no reason for it to fail. Please contact me if you're interested in helping in any way.

Mizuki, do you have any idea what kind of obstacles there are between us and the Lower Cluster?

1) Tons after tons of machinery that was never designed to be passed through by humans. We'd practically have to dig through a kilometer of titanium, glassteel, creep plate and whatever. Not to mention cutting through vital machinery.

2) Collapsed Chimbot tunnels preventing access to certain areas even for them.

3) Heightened levels of microwave and radioactive radiation, as measured at the upper levels, heigtening when you go downward.

4) Malfunctioning terraforming machinery causing huge power spikes.

And these are only the ones we know about. Believe me, we've tried to find ways down ever since we discovered Labspace two and a half years ago. The furthest we got was 240 meters below the Shaft before the explorer was killed by falling through the floor into a pit.

So I say once again: let's stop wasting time and continue the floatbed project now! The last thing we need is another competing project!
