EVENT
As L3Th3 predicted, Mnemosyne reaches the found planet on the 15th. The first view of the planet is both awe-inspiring and perplexing; a world fractured into countless floating landmasses, orbiting a radiant core that pulses like a living heart. The core's golden-red light casts shifting hues across the fragments, where forests cling to jagged cliffs and rivers spill into the void in endless waterfalls. Despite the chaotic appearance, the ship's sensors confirm the presence of a breathable atmosphere, stable temperatures, and signs of life. Strange energy readings does emanate from the core, while metallic signatures suggest ancient remnants of advanced structures scattered across the fragments.
The ship's cameras capture even more details - bioluminescent foliage shimmering under the core's light, clouds of mist swirling between fragments, and glimpses of winged creatures darting through the open air. L3TH3's systems report unstable yet navigable conditions for a shuttle, but urges caution while exploring.
When descending from the Mnemosyne, the landing shuttle's autopilot will navigate the surreal landscape of floating islands. The fragments are larger on the outside, breaking into smaller pieces the closer to the core they are, and reveals alien forests, glowing moss, and grassy plains. Here and there, vines stretch like natural bridges between landmasses, making the navigation a bit rough without an experienced pilot. Weaving through shifting gravitational forces, the shuttle's engines hum as it adjusts to the planet's gravity.
As the shuttle nears the landing zone - a stable plateau near the edge of a larger fragment - the core looms in the distance, its pulsating glow bathing the surface in warm light. The shuttle's landing gear extends with a soft hiss, touching down gently on the alien soil. The engines wind down, leaving only the faint heartbeat of the core and the distant sound of wind rushing through the fragmented terrain. The planet waits, silent and enigmatic, for the first steps of exploration.
Welcome to AG-001!
In the spirit of world-building... here is one! Characters are welcome to create and build this planet within the frame of the setting. Creatures, flora, anything non-sapient. In the end, it will not be a good planet to create a settlement on, but markers to survey it will be added.
On the 22nd, the Mnemosyne will continue the journey.

I do.
[ he's not able to use every type of scientific equipment because it's not like he has the time to learn every single machine he doesn't actually use for his job, but a sampler? yeah, they're simple enough, one of the things he could practically use other than just learning about on a vaguely academic level. ]
I don't mind if you need another set of hands.
[ it has the air of a half-joke, but only because it's at his own expense over his artificial arm. get it, a set of hands? he's not funny. ]
no subject
[They point into the shuttle, towards a particular crate of equipment.]
They're there.
[Impossible to see under their full protection space suit right now, but Erwin isn't the only one with mods here - though Rin's, admittedly, are much more piecemeal and distributed than the prosthetic. Which is to say, they register the tone of the joke, and maybe the context, but it's hard to tell from the outside how it's received.]
Don't point it at anything you want to keep.
no subject
A simple enough concept. Please, lead the way.
[ he is, as ever, ready and willing and happy to help. he's pretty accommodating for a guy technically in a position of power: his approach is very 'do your best, never back down, do what needs doing,' but at the same time, as long as people are giving their best, he's not weird or overbearing about it. it's a weird balance. ]
no subject
They still keep Erwin in their peripheral vision as they continue on, registered mostly in the way their back is never entirely to him.]
Do you have experience accompanying surveying tasks.
no subject
he's also got this sort of... oddly nerdy vibe about him, like he'd love to be doing science all the time or just... wants to know things. a guy who loves knowing things. ]
Accompanying, yes. Participating, not so much.
no subject
It's supposed to be systematic, but as long as you're logging the where and what, basically everything needs to be logged.
... And don't get eaten by anything.
no subject
Of course.
[ he's also great at taking direction, apparently, because he's gonna dutifully scan and log things. though he will, eventually: ]
I've been trying to ascertain how long the crew can function safely, if it can even be called that at current, with such low numbers.
no subject
Current projections are not optimistic but analysis in cooperation with operations and engineering may allow for better estimates.
[Estimates of how they're all fucked, but Rin doesn't say that. Even if it's probably true.]
no subject
knowing timelines and variables for things add to preparedness, which is what he's hoping most for. preparedness.
there are always things that aren't preventable, he's certain, but at the same time, knowing how to react to those things can save lives. ]
I agree. Collaboration is the most likely way to enable long-term survival rates.
[ not ensure. enable. he knows just as well how badly they're fucked. ]
no subject
They're still going to do their sampling, though. Because there's nothing better to do than their job, maybe. Because maybe someone will figure out the cryopod glitch and get things under control. Because walking out an airlock sounds worse than whatever they've got going on right now, even stressful as it is.]
Cryopod malfunctions can still result in additional personnel, so long as they don't get symptoms of cryosickness.
