Breaker Ashley reporting successful jump procedure. Roger that begin field base setup
Houston, I've spotted something near the L Z it's closing in. Oh
rift jumps successful all systems check gravitational strength 1.5 G atmospheric pressure within safe levels
Magnetic field check arrow repeat, magnetic field check with stationary equipment, star system positioning
check Milky Way galaxy Sycorax belt planet Galatia 37. Ashley, welcome
to Galatia 37 Mister Riggs. It's so beautiful here. Virtual simulations on earth were good but this is amazing
an alien tropical paradise and we're the first humans to experience it
I'm not exactly human. You have a few parts missing as well and the paradise part is also left to be determined
Remember your training, Ashley, we should set up a base as soon as possible and you could at least pretend to be human just a
bit, but you're right. There's no going home until we can construct a functioning rift station
Let's start with the basics, Ashley construct a headquarters building to secure our presence here
It will allow me to reconstruct if my armor is destroyed. Mhm
Headquarters construction is in progress. This is going to be our main base of operations on Galatia 37 our new home
we have to protect this building at all costs. You will be teleported here whenever I am critically damaged
there is no other backup that this building is destroyed. That's basic training
Mr Riggs. Let's focus on the less obvious things. I am required to remind you a basic protocol
Even if we've done this before, we need to expand the base
Let's build a carbo factory to do the digging for us. Yes
we've got much more interesting things to do. Let's automate this. Power
bids will require huge amounts of power to operate right now. We can only construct some basic power plants
wind turbines and Carboni power plants, wind turbines are less effective but they work around the clock
Carboni power plants are very effective but they use up the deposits that they are placed on in the beginning
It's best to use a combination of these power sources. We can balance energy peaks and shortages by storing excess energy in energy storages
Also remember to connect all buildings to the power grid using energy connectors
They connect all buildings within their area of operation even if power lines are not visible
Ashley, remember to connect all buildings to the power grid, energy connectors
distribute power to all buildings within their operating radius. Ashley, I'm sure that our presence will not go unnoticed
We should build up our base as quickly as possible. Standard Protocol
Advises to set up walls and sentinel towers around the base. However
I don't expect as much aggression from the native fauna as in the simulations
So far, it looks like the long range quantum scans were very accurate
The local fauna and flora appear almost exactly like during training followed the protocol Ashley
the environment in the simulation was very accurate. That's true. But the scenario was crafted by Riff breaker command
they usually focus on the brute force aspect of these missions. Do you want to run a brute force check if this is a simulation
you never give up. Do you do you? Ok, Mr stubborn. I guess it won't hurt to set up some solid defenses just
in case. Thank you, Captain Novak. You're welcome, Mr Riggs. Yes
our base is low on power. I
strongly advise you to construct an armory. It will allow us to craft new weapons and upgrades and also manufacture field repair kits as well
as other usable items and it will produce more ammunition for your guns
Yes, that is an important building. Mhm. No
I don't have enough AI cores to support any more defensive towers
You will need to construct additional AI hubs to expand our defenses
Remember to build more power plants before you do that. AI hubs consume a lot of energy
Not up. Carbo storage
is full, build more storage facilities, ok
These Sentinel towers should keep us safe so we can focus on expanding our base further
not recovering by detecting a large group of creatures heading towards our position
It looks like our presence is being noticed. Base defenses should be strong enough to hold them back
Mhm Base is under attack. Ashling
Are you still skeptical about the local creature's level of aggression? I'm skeptical about the procedures for prepping this planet for colonization
Humanity lost its love for nature after the Yellowstone eruption, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to preserve this ecosystem
Earth is barely habitable at this point. We have to secure Galatia 37 for colonization and resource extraction as soon as possible
Excessive care about the local environment is unnecessary. That's not entirely true
Other rif breaking missions have already secured a number of resource rich planets for humanity
We are not on the brink of extinction. Our goals on this mission are clear and our survival and security is the top priority damage
to the ecosystem is inevitable. You wanted to come here yourself and you knew what had to be done
Are you doubting the mission? I know what has to be done
That's not the point Galatia has to be prepared for colonization. I don't doubt that if I didn't come here myself
then someone else would have. I believe that we can do this in a better way
We have to defend ourselves and secure the necessary to set up the rift station
but we don't have to destroy all the wildlife we encounter. Humanity doesn't need another stripped down factory world
If we want to progress as a species, then we should study this planet and learn how to blend with the environment and prepare a
safe home for humanity. Armory construction finished. We can now use it to craft new items
It will also automatically manufacture ammunition for my weapons. It
looks like we have the base up and running. If you'd like to construct more advanced buildings
you'll have to upgrade the headquarters building. Unfortunately, this process also emits a lot of high frequency energy waves
These creatures are clearly drawn to our energy emissions. So it will be like an alarm bell for them
We should strengthen our defenses before upgrading the HQ storage
is full, build more storage facilities, headquarters
upgrade in progress. This will attract a lot of attention. We should reinforce our defenses as much as we can
Things are going to get very hot very soon. I
am glad we are back on the same page about properly securing our base
We can't save this world if we let it kill us. Hey, Mr Grumpy
why do you insist on calling me names? I hope you're not offended
Are you? No, that would be inefficient. Come on riggs. Let's not be so serious
I had to give you a better name than what they called you. Rick Jump and Exploration mega suit
Mark four Griffin burials. What is wrong with that name? It's inefficient
I can sense the ground shaken. I estimate a few 1000 creatures running at our base
They are very close. Prepare yourself, Ashley. We've made all the preparations that we could
Let's go out and meet them. Oh
threat neutralized. This will buy some time until the next attack. Let's check what's new
after the HQ upgrade. We should start downloading new blueprints so we can construct more advanced buildings and items
Build a communications hub as soon as possible. OK. Let's remember to build some additional power plants for it
It consumes a lot of energy. Mhm. Mhm. Communications
hub construction in progress. We can download all the technology blueprints that we need through this building's quantum entanglement template matrix
It's a pity that we can't upload anything back to earth. There's so much data to be gathered here
I can't wait to start collecting research specimens. We will be able to share all of our research data as soon as the rift station
is operational and the rift back to earth has been opened. Let's focus on that first
Carboni storage is full. We should construct more communications hub construction finished
We can now use it to download new technologies. Oh
What now
that the basic base setup is complete. We should start working on our primary objective
Constructing and means a planetary ripped station. It is going to take a long time to build
So we should start working on it as soon as possible. That's true
It's a massive building with multiple components and pipeline connections for plasma fuel and coolant
It's going to be the central structure in our base with multiple support buildings
So we should plan a lot of free space around it. Let's start by placing the foundation
right. What
All right, new
technology has been developed, new buildings are available for construction, right
Mhm. Ok. On this, the
technology queue is idle, select new technologies for development. No
research completed. The
rain is over construction of the Riff Stations Foundation is in progress
Congratulations Ashley. This milestone marks the beginning of the next chapter of our mission on this planet
You sometimes sound a bit like Colonel Nordstrom. Do you know that I received additional instructions on how to motivate you and keep your spirit
high during this mission? They were indeed written by Colonel Nordstrom and revised by Admiral Von Blofeld
Would you like me to read what I was instructed to tell you for this occasion
Oh, please do Mr Riggs. This is exactly what I wanted to hear after traveling halfway through the galaxy
Captain Novak, you were selected for the rip jump to Galia 37 as an exceptional individual
You are amongst the elite of the elite of earth's expeditionary forces during your services with the extraterrestrial science corpse
You have time and again, shown courage, bravery and an unflinching willingness to sacrifice yourself to complete your objectives
You are desperate. Ok. That's a nice speech. It sounds very uplifting but they didn't read my bio very well
What do you mean? Sacrifice part? Do you mean the orient mission
You were working without me back then? Yes, that and a few other things
Do you want me to read further motivational pieces? That's enough of Colonel Nordstrom
Let's skip the military pathos and stick to your original programming. We've got a planet to explore Roger that Ashley
I am archiving all of the motivational speeches. The construction
of the Rip Station Foundation has been completed and we need to construct all of the Rip Station opponents before we can start powering up
the portal. The roof station has three main components that require a lot of rare resources to be built
The fusion field accelerator requires enriched uranium. The hyper particle condenser requires palladium and the quantum gate stabilizer which requires titanium
We haven't found any traces of these elements in our base. These resources might not be present anywhere near our location
We should construct the orbital scanner to start scouting for interesting locations around the entire planet
It will allow us to establish precise coordinates for long range rip jumps around the planet
We don't have the required schematics to build an orbital scanner. We have to download the orbital scanning technology through the communications hub
Yeah. What new technology has been developed? New
buildings are available for construction actually
now that the army is operational, we can craft some new weapons that's a good idea
The enemy attacks are getting constantly stronger. We need better guns warning
an enemy attack is imminent. We should build stronger defenses around our face
Our base is low on power. Right
Research completed. Yeah
Danger. An aggressive hord has entered the area that is less than a minute away
Hm. Race is under attack
