A week of Normal

[sanada_g]

It felt good to be out and working on a big project again but I didn't miss having to always be on my guard for dangers. Fortunately we were able to get a few structures set up for safety and comfort and the first areas of the mine opened up with only a few minor scratches and bruises. 

 
Now that I'm back on the base I have a chance to catch up on the smaller projects of engineering and to find time to relax. And to work out properly. Engineering is a workout but it doesn't hit all the muscle groups or as much cardio as I like. 



Renji, do you want to help me with a personal project?

I see... I also have friends and family going. So we both have the extra motivation.


A good idea. And another good test for it.

I'm concerned for Team 2. I hope the slacker doesn't pull them down with him.

I'm assigning Akutsu to stay at the base for the next shift as well, instead of coming out with me. Hopefully an extra set of hands with the expedition equipment will be helpful.

He is a superior officer... so I shall leave opinions on him for you to voice.

At least team 2 is only doing above-ground recon and are not expected to fight any of the worms or crawl through mud in darkness.

Working on reliable and long-life light sources that can take a lot banging around and water should be a priority.

I'm sure Akutsu will have some interesting ideas on what team 2 will need.

He's is just a waste of breathable air on the planet and I hope he gets eaten by a sandworm.

I'll brainstorm a few ideas tonight and let you know what I come up with regarding the light source. It's going to be difficult.

If you can think about what we can do about falling rocks for team 2, that'd be marvellous.

As you say...

I'll check the engineering records and see what we have to work off of for both the lights and rock issues. It's always easier to modify something than to start from scratch.
