Recommended Posts

hello there fellow player 

i am writing this history made by me on oxygen not included. the history contains features of the most recent update so details may not be what will be in the game. also english is not my first language so i may make mistakes.

if i'm not posting more on the history please keep feeding this content with something so it doesn't dies.

also im new writing posts so i may be a bit slow

thank you for listening now to the history.

-S.a.m:otto thanks for reactivating m-

-otto: i'm sorry but we don't have to much time. i know that you were not awake during the other cicles but the whole colony it's dying. the pod is broken, the colony's primary AI has gone offline for the bad conditions, i'm the only one left because the other printed me last before dying*seems stressed*, and there's only air because i printed some oxylite before the pod broke.

-sam: ok i see the situacion, the chances of survival are low let me do an analysis of the time we got left an search for a form of survival.

-otto: there's only one thing left but i needed your help for that. it's an old teleporter, but i need you to activate it.

-sam: ok thats a viable option but we don't know what can be in the other side.

-otto: we don't have much time nor oxygen.

-sam: i'll active it, get all the resources and food that you can carry meanwhile.

-sam: done, oh just in time.

-otto: this is all i can carry (gristle berry, gold amalgam, drecko egg,sweetle egg, grub fruit seed, bristle blossom seed, oxylite, dirt, dusk spore)

-sam: it will have to do, jump in.

-otto: ok *hops on*

cicle 98:

-sam: this should keep us alive for a few more cicles, but i'm still concerned about all the polluted oxygen and all this biome that is constantly falling apart. 

-otto: the air isn't good for my lungs *coughs*

-sam: lets keep digging and serch for a bit of sand for a cople deodorizers.

-otto: i'd rather not dig away from the base*nervous*

-Sam: ¿why not?

-otto: they- they screame- the air was to thick. i dont want to talk more about that.

-sam: it's ok we can dig close by but for the well being of the colony and you, i need you to tell me what happened in the sandstone asteroid.

-otto:*sigh*ok i'll tell you:

the colony was growing, everything was going well, but something happened the colony's AI went dormant, i'm a scientist it went dormant because something trigger it, i don't know what but with no more instructions we were on our own. we run the colony alone for a bit more, we used up our  algae, then we tried digging for more, there was no more time, em- the air was too thick, stale, we dug out too far... we went rushing for oxygen, i got  to the ladder first, went up and then- the ground moved, the ladder down colapsed, the others were trapped, they fight uop for air, then they screa- screamed, the temperature went up rapidly, a hot steam vent and it's reservoir down below were uncovered by the preasure, heated everyting up above, they repidly were uncapacitated, unable to build, move, or breath *cryes* they- they gave a smile of relief before nothing more.

i cried, scaped from the heat, and  run the colony for a bit.

i couldn't burry them, i had to close of that section because of the heat, the levels of oxygen were critical, i printed the oxylite and with my last hopes i found the teleporter and you, with little time left i reactivated you and here we are.

why did they had to die, why did i had to survive, alone...

Spoiler

-sam: i'm sorry for what you had to go through, you may think that you have all the weight of the colony in your shoulders but dont think like that i know that the others would have liked you to keep going. i myself wasn't made to be the one controlling the colony nor i am ok how i wasn't here to help the colony in the first place, i was made to help but i broke i thank you for bringing me back, for now we should keep this lonely colony going, it is hardcoded into me after all.

-otto: thanks, yeah we should...

-sam: let's try to build a mini-pod and see if we can print something of our desire.

-otto: sounds like a plan.

*building multi-tool noises*

-sam: great now we wait, let's give some sand to that deodorizer and see what else this place got for us, since there was a teleporter receiver and the ruins of a base , there may be more equipment down here let's try to dig up...

-otto:*sigh*ok.

*distant messaging sounds*

-sam: there seems to be some sort of signal transmission happening around lets keep digging.

*a wall crumbles and falls*

-sam: this place must be where that sound is coming from...

>attention.

>signal transmission detected

>accept contact?

>Yes No

-sam: oh an old computer, something is trying to send us a signal.

-otto: ohhh accept contact there might be others dupes somewhere.

-otto: what does it saying?

-sam: seems the connection is unstable maybe if we connect this computer to an antenna near the surface we might get a clearer message. let's go up that ladder.

*ladder climbing*

-sam: perfect an old antenna let's hope that this works, connect it to the computer otto.

>current errand: monitoring

-sam: it seems to have detected the life in this asteroid and is sending us blueprints for sustainable systems to keep the colony alive, amazing.

-otto: but ¿why is this here and who build it, and put it in orbit?

-sam: it's identified as a gravitas equipment, as everything else in this ruins this corporation manufactured me but other than that i don't know, it seems to want the survival of the life in this asteroid, i think we can trust what is wanting us to build, as for this asteroid monitoring i think it could detect other asteroids.

-otto: alright but i'm going to need a lot of help to build all of this let's check on the printer and cryotank to see if we can sustain the colony with more people.

-sam: ok i'll get this computer more close to the colony to see what else it can teach us.

cicle 99:

*slightly distorted printing pod tune*

-sam: the mini pod is ready let's see what we have.

-otto: a builder-digger would be nice.

-sam: oh we have one lets see: early bird, yokel looks like a good choice.

>printing...

>rejecting other alternatives...

>printed success-ssssss.....fully

two dupes are printed

-otto: wait what happened.

-sam: the mini pod seems to have malfunction printing two dupes from only one, each one with half of the traits from the original dupe.

-otto: em hello...

-rowan / rowan: *at the same time* hi *each looks to the other one*  wait who are you, why are you like me.

-sam: well this is gonna get confusing. the mini pod seems to be malfunctioning because of its link to the printing pod which is broken. i hope we have enough resources to keep these two alive, mmm there was some cloths around here... yes there they are one warm sweater and one cool vest, that will make them different from each other, also i'm gonna make different names for you two.

-rowan / rowan: ok.

-sam: you'll be cobalt and you'll be crimson, im sorry im not good with names, cobalt you are our digger, crimson you are our builder. lets get some of these blueprints builded.

-otto: sam, i don't know if we can keep using the mini pod, with these malfunctions happening, what could it print.

-sam: i know this is not the best situation i'll see what i can do with the limited colony for the moment and then we'll have to go to the source of all this problems, even if we didn't needed more help this asteroid doesn't count with all the things we need to be sustainable. i know that you don't want to go there again.

>¡incoming data!

-cobalt: oh what's that.

-crimson: yeah what is it.

-sam: oh it's the satellite let's see what it has detected.

> important resources and data detected in asteroid denominated: irradiated forest

> it's recommended to reach location when basic to medium survival is ready

> gravitas data vault detected in this location

-sam: well that will be our next step after we go back to sandstone asteroid and build all of this.

>cryotank defrosting...

-?: oh- hi.

-otto: hi welcome back i guess?

-liam: thanks for defrosting me _____?

-otto: otto.

-sam: hello little dupe.

-liam: auto, hello- what happened ?

-sam: no, sorry i'm not who you think, i'm your secondary artificial intelligence module or sam for short, as for what happened we defrosted you from the cryotank, and from what you said this is not the colony you are from isn't?

-liam: no- ,something happened- we couldn't do to much everything started to fall apart and get mixed, this stuff *points at abissalyte* started to grow everywhere and i got pushed into this room and i fell into the cryotank.

-sam: this is very interesting because my reports tell me we were the first colony protocol to have been activated, but this colony already existed, could you tell us more.

-liam: i don't know, i need to think for a bit.

-otto: meanwhile i'll show you the colony and if you wnat you can help us a bit.

-liam: ok- i'll follow you.

Spoiler

-otto: these are the bathrooms, self-sustainable, don't think too much what you wash your hands with.

-liam: i may have a problem with germs.

-otto: this is the water tank, we may start to run low later.

-liam: any solution for that?

-otto: for now not.

-otto: the barracks, there are 4 beds, this is your's.

-liam: comfy i guess.

-otto: this is a supply teleporte rinput, we use it to get some things for our friend in another asteroid meanwhile he repairs some- stuff there and he gives us some resources back with this output.

-liam: i re- remember this we used to send things through the input but we never got anything back.

otto: um- ok, this is the factory floor, as i like to call it, we are spinning some salad- hehe it's actually mud and preparing to build atmosuits to get into our next stop. the oil biome a hot but resource-full place, filled with oil and zombie-infecting germs at least what sam can detect.

-liam: mmm i never seen something quite like that.

-otto: i don't know if this is something that i should ask you right now but, ¿how was your place before being this humid swamp?

-liam: um *inhales* it was cousy, we didn't do too much, just run our little colony, we didn't dig and somehow food just appeared out of a rail, auto was starting to introduce us into farming, then- it happened.

-otto: i see, i think you need a bit of time alone- *downtime* oh it's downtime i forgot to bring you to the great hall, lets go, we'll eat something, i'll present you a firend, and then you can rest if you want.

-liam: ok thanks- otto.

-otto: he is crimson, he is our digger he was called rowan but the mini pod printed two of them form one so sam renamed them.

-liam: hello.

-crimson: hi, do you want some swamp chard heard?, it's kinda sweet but also swampy.

-liam: em ok.

-liam: what is the mini pod otto?

-otto: oh i also forgot about it, it's a wonderful but right now broken machine capable of 3d printing us and other stuff.

-liam: that's very intriguing and neat.

-otto: yeah but we should not touch it because right now what it prints could go wrong.

-crimson: but it will be fixed once cobalt is able to get the sandstone colony running and sam gets a bit of time to look at it, at least that's what he said.

-liam: ok *bed time* i guess i should go rest now.

-otto: yeah tomorrow it's gonna be a long day.

 

-sam: *to himself* another cycle gone i really hope we can get everything running before we run out of resources, because i don't know how much more my system can run i was not made for thi- this, it's getting abit worse, i need to really take a look at whathappend with it and see if i can fix it, maybe if i do that and the condition of the base is better,it might get out of dormancy. i just hope they can have a future, this is all that iis left even if i can't remember what they wanted or what gravitas was... oh i remember the satelite it detected something.

yes here it is a data vault from gravitas in another asteroid, if i can't reset the primary AI our plan b will be to go ther e and maybe the data vault has something to fix me-eeeeeee.

-sam: hello all of you my wonderful dupes, please everyone of you come all close to me.

-all the dupes: here we are.

-sam: thank you for coming all close even though some are in different asteroids, ok i have some things to tell to all of you, you've done a great job in both planets, im sorry for the conditions that you are in, but we really dont have too much time, i'm gonna need at least one of you to go to a far destination.

*starts presentation*

-sam: this is the asteroid that we are after, it doesn't contains too much in terms of resources for our survival, but the reason we need to go there, the reason you built this space program, is because i was not made to be your leader, i was programed to be an assistant, and even in that i falled i couldn't help the first AI when it was active, i couldn't help otto, and the other dupes when they were alone until it was almost too late, now i am going to fail to all of you.

-otto: no, why are you going to fail us, you've done such a great job at being our leader, don't worry about the past.

-sam: i don't want to fail all of you, but i am not in th e best conditionright now, i've been hiding this but my program is slowl y falling, corrupting, as my system failed i nthe start, that's why i could not start automati cally when all started, but forme and for you my dupesthere's o n e la st hope, that asteroidcontains a data vault fromthe oneswh o created meeee-eeeee*static* i-t m ay contai   n so meee thin-g too-o-oo o fi x errooooor 4...8-5 has occurred shuting down

-otto: sam, sam oh no.

-cobalt and crimson: what do we do now.

-liam: he said something about the vault that can fix him, we need to go to that planet.

-otto: but if someone goes there we'll lose all communication with him.

-cobalt: but now we are on our own.

-crimson: eventually something will run out and we may not be able to fix it alone.

-liam: yeah we need to get sam working again we need to go there.

-otto: we don't even have the technology to go there yet, we dont even have a pilot.

-liam:*inhales* i'll go, in orbit around the planet i'll go reserching the things we need, i need: plastic, food, and oxylite, the rocket interior is done so we don't need to worry about that.

-cobalt i can get you the oxylite and a bit of food.

-crimson: and i the plastic but we need someone else if you are gone, otto we need the mini pod and get liam in the teleporter.

-otto: but the mini pod is not in it's best shape, and i dont know if it can print something functional anymore.

-liam: it's our last option we need to do it.

-otto: ugh ok but you'll be alone in that rocket, ¿can you handel it?

-liam: i'll have to.

-otto: ok, go into the skill scruber then we'll asign you to pillot, crimson and cobalt get the resources for the rocket and what you need to send send it bya the suply teleporter, then we send liam in the teleporter and into space, go go go.

-liam: the plastic and food are on the rocket, we don't have enough oxylite so we are going to use algae to pressurise the capsule and then we instal the orbital research module.

-otto: ok, you are going to need to bring sam and see what the vault has to repair him,but first you research the rest of the technology we need, then come back to the asteroid and we build the module for you to build a platform in the asteroid, then the rocket will land. you are not going to be able to hear us when you go out of orbit from this asteroid.

-liam: you don't know what is to be there, i'll go take a shower right now.

-otto: we don't have any showers.

-otto: uhh well crimson let's go see what the mini pod has to offer.

-crimson: ¡¿can i make the choice?!

-otto: yeah i guess but we need a good dupe.

-crimson: yeeey.

-crimson: let's see a builder farmer, a supplier doctor, a operator supplier, or a bristle blosoom seed.

-otto: see what negative traits they have.

-crimson: mmm flatulent no thanks, anemic, and noodle arms. i think i'm gonna chose the operator.

-otto: good choice it's travaldo. let's hope everything goes right, you can say hello first if you want.

-otto:  yeah.

-travaldo: what misión.

-otto: em we don't have too much time but you can see it by yourself and then i'll tell you.

-travaldo: ok

-liam: here i go, dont worry sam we are going. to the place where all started

>rocket launch

Spoiler

-otto: ok liam now you are on orbit, when you move away from the asteroid you will not be able to hear us, your rocket has enough supplies to keep you alive in your journey and if something goes wrong, the food should last until you come back, I examined sam's structure and there is a port that you'll need to connect something to. the satélite detected life and various thing for a few life support systems in this particular asteroid, but it also detected various sources of radiation so be carefull.

-crimson: we wish the best for you.

-cobalt: one last thing, if you have time and the conditions on the asteroid are good search for resources and geological reservoirs, like his cool steam vents or something similar.

-travaldo: good luck. can we now talk about the mision.

-liam: trabaldo the microphone is still on i can still hear you.

-travaldo: sorry about that.

-liam: here i go.

-travaldo: i guess so.

-otto: good, also what's that floral smell we don't have any buddie buds or bristle blossoms here.

-crimson: it seems to come from travaldo, its more floral close to him.

-travaldo: really?

-otto: is that a question, or you are playing with us.

-travaldo: a question, come on you should know if it is this or that.

-otto: i can't. but yeah the floral sent seems to be coming from travaldo.

 

-liam: two thirds of the way, i think i can see the asteroid through the window. what's that glowing in it's center. oh that's a good place to land there.

ok i'm in orbit, autopilot and into the trailblazer module, uh a bit cramped in here i hope the impact won't be too har-

-liam: oh thank the pod there's oxygen here, i should build a door to not let it scape. oh a little critter, mmm what the manual says about this critter mm a pip seems friendly. this ore seems metallic i should be able to build the door out of this. now i need to build a platform, my landing module should have enough cobalt for it.

finally, now land rocket.

>landing platform detected

>landing...

*rocket engine stops*

-liam: well that something less out of the list, now i need water for some toilets, and get sam into the surface to search for that vault.

*time passes*

-liam: ok this asteroid seems to contain pips, arbor trees, aluminium ore, dirt, and igneous rock. at least in the surface this place seems pacific. well time to search for that data vault.

woah is this the vault, it looks like a satelite,it crashed pretty hard to leave this crater in the asteroid, it seems mostly intact tho.

>medium levels of radiation detected

-liam: oh yeah they gave me this rad detector. well even if there's radiation nearby i need to bring sam there.

gravitas data vault

>secondary A.I module detected nearby

>starting protocol procedure 

>error

>60% of systems damaged

>data storage intact

-liam: oh it moved a little and seems to have opened a panel. there's a wire to plug into sam. i hope this works.

>connection with S.A.M. established

>reparing...

>bug tracking

>software repair complete

>transfering vault's data

-sam: wo-ah woo woah *slight distortion* oh thank you sooo much, uh ¡liam! i feel great, oh oh wait ahh aah data is being transfered into me.

-liam: do i do something.

-sam: search for shelter from the radiation i'll need some time to get everything into my systemmmm.

-liam: *cogh* ok.

-sam: hsamnsumwosmeksekmsmkems *fast incomprenhensible talking*

-liam: hello little pip what do you have in your mouth.

pip: squek squeek squeeriel

*drops small log*

-liam: i guess thats what you eat, but why you give it to me.

pip: squeeeek

 

-sam: auuhaah no- now i remember.

 

-sam: liam i'm back, how is the colony, for how much did i was unactive.

-liam: they are doing well, not to much like 10 cycles, but i may be a little stressed.

-sam: that's not good. how much fuel is in that rocket.

-liam: not enough to get us back for the moment *cogh* we may need to find something *cogh* to make *cogh* CO2.

-sam: are you ok i know that you are a vomiter, but this cogh is not because your stress or the air.

-liam: i'm fine *cogh* i need to build us somethin-

*drops unconsious*

-sam: liam liam, oh no it's radiation poisoning, how much time were you exposed to the satelite, liam liam liam.

Chapter 2: close connection

Spoiler

-sam: Liam Liam, ugh it's fruitless he's unconscious.

Pip: squeek

-sam: hello little pip ¿are a friend of Liam?

Pip: squeeeeek

-sam: i need to get him into something, so he can rest.

Pip: squeek

*Runs to a nearby place*

-sam: do you want me to follow you, pip Liam dosen't has to much time.

Pip: squeek

-sam: okay okay, I'll follow you. Oh there's ruins here too, and a bed! Thanks pip.

Ok I wasn't made to carry things but this is an exception. Iggy why ar-e the dupes so heavy.

There he can rest in the bed, and i'll need to find something to treat him, or search for help.

Pip: squeek

-sam: what now little pip, uh a computer oh! I could try to connect it to the vault, send a message through it's antenna to the satélite and hope for the dupes to see it.

At least I can try.

>Connecting to orbital satélite...

>Sending message coded as SOS__IRADIATED__ASTEROID

>Message sent successfully

-sam: Please dupes respond. Meanwhile you need something to absorb that radiation, mmm what could his asteroid contain to help you?

*Vomits*

- sam: no no no, you are getting worse *moves Liam to his side* breath please breath.

 ...

Spoiler

-travaldo: could you two stop smelling me.

-crimson and otto: ok sorry.

-crimson: could this be caused by the error in the mini pod.

-otto: i think so..., wait didn't there was seed for a bristle blossom in the printable options.

-crimson: oh yeah.

-otto: travaldo was printed and combined with the seed, it can grow in the wild but it always need light.

-travaldo: oh really, I am also a plant, i don't know if i want to be a plant.

-crimson: light like the one coming from the sky above us.

-otto: yeah, the plant must only grow when you are exposed to light travaldo. could i take a look at you.

-travaldo: em ok, but i don't want to be a plant could you do something to get rid of it.

-otto: i don't know lets see, oh there's a stem in your head.

-travaldo: ohh please get it off my head.

-otto: it part of you travaldo, you don't need to do this show.

-crimson: and is actually very cool if you think about it, you can grow your own meal if you are exposed to light.

-otto: doesn't that counts as eating yourself?

-travaldo: ¡¡stop now, this is ridiculous can you do something to get rid of this plant!!

-otto: sorry travaldo but i don't think you can be separated from the plant, and is not causing you any harm.

-travaldo: ughhh i need some time to think.

*walks away*

-crimson: i hope liam is doing well.

-otto: yeah because we are not handling the situation very good.

>incoming communication with sandstone asteroid

-cobalt: ¡hello ¿how are you doing there?!

-otto: not really well.

-crimson: hello cobalt how are you doing.

-cobalt: well most of the systems here are doing well, now we have renovable water from the cool steam vents, but i'm lacking a source of power more effective.

-otto: i hope sam can find a solution to all of this, if liam is successful, because we can't progress as much as this colony needs.

-crimson: let's check the satellite for information about this asteroids and other bodies around us.

-otto: ok it might give us a bit of hope.

>incoming message detected

>location unknown until signal tracking device operational

>decoding message

< SOS__IRADIATED__ASTEROID >

-crimson: it seems to come from the asteroid that liam needed to get to.

-otto: if i recall correctly the time for liam to get to the asteroid has passed, it must be him, he must be in a bad situation to send this SOS message.

-cobalt: he must has landed in the asteroid and found something to communicate with us.

>unidentifided object is requesting connection with satelite

accept?

-otto: we should accept it could be also from him.

>connection established by beta signal with object identifed as gravitas data vault

hello- he-llo *static* it- m-e lia  m *static* we -eed hel-p *static*

-crimson: it's got to be him, and he needs help.

-otto: wait he said we, maybe he repaired sam, and is communcating with us somehow bya the data vault.

-cobalt: what could we do?

-otto: but we don't have enough resources or a pilot, nor can we print another dupe and get even worse things happening.

 

 

-sam: yes we got communication with them, it's unstable but they should be able to think something to gelp us, meanwhile i need to give you something to absorve that radiation.

pip: squeek *picks water weed sed and plants it*

-sam: where did you find that? oh an ocean biome, one of this water weeds must be ready for harvesting and is could cure liam!

now to see every one of them.

here liam i know you are unconcious, but i need you to eat this, come on bit the lettuce, there that will help you a bit but you'll need more.

uhh all the plants are too inmature to get more lettuce, there should be some pacu or other sea food around.

...

Spoiler

-liam: *still unconscious* oh ok auto, how do we plant the seeds.

-sam: liam! liam, mmm you seems to be sleep talking, the lettuce must be helping.

-liam: aaah what's happening, auto? auto, ruby, harold stay together the ceiling is collapsing, aaaah, help me get me out of- *distress movements*

-sam: oh liam, i'm sorry for all of that, you've gone through so much, i'll find something else to help you, just calm down just a little bit of time. does the meat from the pokeshells is seafood, mmm there must be something more.

*liquid flows*

-sam: oh i guess you still need to go to the bathroom. ohhh a pacu and some fish. finally because if we don't do something your oxygen will run out eventually, here i'm sorry but you'll need to eat the fish uncooked. in the meantime i need this communication to be more stable. maybe if i achieve it i could give some info to the dupes, i really hope they are okay.

 

-otto: oh the satélite has established a stable signal with them.

-crimson: it's sam!, they seem to be sending us plans.

-cobalt: can we send him a message.

-otto: the connection can only hold one way signals.

-crimson: he says that he is back again running but liam is resting because of radiation poisoning.

-otto: oh no.

-cobalt: he is sending me a list of projects i'll need a bit of help.

-crimson: we could send travaldo to help you, he is not very happy with us for the moment maybe you can talk with him.

-otto: seems good.

-cobalt: i'll see what i can do.

 

-otto: travaldo we are sorry about not helping you, if you want you can help cobalt in the sandstone asteroid.

-travaldo: mmm ok, thanks for your apologies, i guess i need to learn how to live with this bristle blossom.

 here i go-

>duplicant successfully sent

-travaldo: ugh i didn't knew it would make me dizzy.

-cobalt: ¡hello!

-travaldo: ¿crimson? ¿how are you here?

-cobalt: oh i'm actually cobalt, crimson's twin, well kinda, we both came out of the pod at the same time, you can differentiate us by our clothes.

-travaldo: oh sorry, cobalt.

...

Spoiler

-cobalt: so we have some work to do, what do you want to do first. we have to: start exploring for some free resources from geyser, vents, and volcanoes. we also have to build some blueprint's that are being sent to us some of these include: temperature regulation for the base, it's quite big. repair a industrial facility somewhere in here.

-travaldo: mmm i would like to search around for some vents or geysers. also where do this errands come from.

-cobalt: oh well sam gave us some things to do before, but right now we are following our manuals information, but not always these manuals have the solution. and yeah you can co and dig a bit, and see if you find a source of water or something interesting, but please if you find something don't fully uncover it, the majority of the vents and geysers generate materials at quite hot temperatures.

-travaldo: ok, what are you gonna do?

-cobalt: i'll take a look at that industrial facility, if you have some time left when you finish you can come to build and repair with me.

-travaldo: ok i don't know how much time will pass but i'll help you.

 

-sam: you are doing well liam, but i really need you to wake up.

*silence*

-sam: please things are not doing well.

pip: squeeak.

-sam: oh little pip you'd been so helpful.

*the floor shakes*

-sam: what's happening an asteroid doesn't experiences earthquakes normally.

pip: squeeeeeek squeeeeeeeeeeeek

*arbor trees fall*

-sam: aaah pip come here ¡into the building! ¡into the building!

*the movent slowly stops*

-sam: what was that, this asteroid is more deadly than we thought.

-liam: uuughh *coghs* uuh *vomits* uhh what happened.

-sam: ¡liam!

-liam: uh sam why do i have a horrible fish flavor in my mouth.

-sam: um long story, i need you to build something in here, and maybe we'll need to get out of this place soon.

-liam: um ok.

*the floor shakes again*

-liam: whoaaa.

-sam: oh no it's an aftershock. ¡liam get cover!

Spoiler

*everything calms down again*

-sam: uuuh, ok i doubt this asteroid has some sort of tectonics, uh i'm detecting high levels of radiation near the core.

-liam: ooh look there's a crack in the ground of the ocean biome.

-sam: what, this is not natural it must has been opened by the earthquake, looks like a natural stair that goes deeper into the center of this asteroid.

pip: squeak

-liam: wait pip don't go down there.

-sam: liam don't follow him, oh no here we go.

*everybody follows the pip*

-liam: there you are pip, uh sam you might want to take a look.

-sam: uhh that's not oil this place isn't composed by any carbohydrate, mmm this place is more and more cold the lower we go, i think it's liquid carbon dioxid-

*ground shakes*

*liquid carbon dioxide burst out of cracks*

-liam: oh no, there must be something producing it.

-sam: it must be a geyser, maybe they're are more and are over pressurised,they must be causing the earthquakes ween the carbon dioxide warms up.

*more liquid carbon dioxide fills the place*

-sam: it's time to get out of here right now.

-laim: aaa run, run pip.

*everybody runs up the stairs*

-sam: quick close the hole before the carbon dioxide warms up.

*liam build an insulated tile*

-liam: ugh that was close.

-sam: well another reason to get out of here, let's build a few things to maybe come back here.

-liam: can i bring some pips and arbor corns back.

-sam: uh okay but only pip eggs and arbor corns.

Spoiler

-sam: ok are we ready for launch?

-liam: i guess so *coughs*.

-sam: you may have side effects from the radiation poisoning for a while, do you think to be able to handle them.

-liam: well radiation is not a germ, i'll be fine.

-sam: check with a doctor when we get to the colony.

-liam: nobody is qualified as a doctor.

-sam: fine i'll make a apothecary for some basic rad pills

-liam: ready for launch.

>rocket ready for launch

>launching...

-liam: aaaah, i don't think i will ever be able to not get dizzy from launch.

-sam: you'll be alright, let's see your supplies.

-liam: ¡wait, no!

pip: squeak

-sam: well i see that you bringed not only the eggs. i guess we cannot go back to the asteroid to free him.

-liam: i'm sorry but he helped us so much in the asteroid, he deserved to live happy the rest of his life with us.

-sam: ok, but get him a place in the asteroid so he doesn't makes a mess with the storage bins.

-liam: ok

pip: squeeek

 

-travaldo: what i'm gonna do with this plant growing in my head, i know i should accept it, but it's hard. cobalt seems like a good guy, and i'm not angry with otto and crimson, they didn't made me this and were trying to help, well i guess i didn't listen to what they were saying me and just ran away. i'm here now, i should help the colony to compensate for everything. let's see mmm granite and obsidian, this must be a buried object, and what i'm looking for. *starts digging* please be a water renewable, please be a water renewable.

*a minor volcano is uncovered*

-travaldo: no no no, emmmm here some igneous, quickly seal up the volcano, please be dormant.

*volcano starts rising pressure*

-travaldo: why is this happening to me, come on build faster multi tool, uff volcano sealed, disaster avoided, mmm i guess this can come in to use but not right now, better tell the other ones about this.

-cobalt: oh hello how did the searching went.

-travaldo: uhh well i guess.

-cobalt: what happened i don't know in what tone you are talking to me.

-travaldo: i- uncovered a minor volcano, but everything is fine i sealed it up with igneous and obsidian insulated tiles.

-cobalt: ok another thing to worry about, i'm doing great with this old factory, here do you see that, that's a cooling lop for the machines in here.

-travaldo: oh great what can we refine now.

-cobalt: a bit of steel, and more iron, because the iron in the barren biome is running low.

-travaldo: good work, let's tell the others-

*incoming message*

Spoiler

>starting message

-sam: hell- hello, can you hear me.

-cobalt: ¡sam!

-otto: oh you are finally back, things are not so great without you.

-crimson: how is liam, he was sending us a message before.

-sam: i sent the message the connection was unstable and it probably got mixed up, as for liam he's ok, tho he is recovering from radiation poisoning.

-liam: hi guys.

-sam: we are on our way to the asteroid, please prepare a med bed for liam, i happy to be able to see all of you again, all 4 of you-

-travaldo: 5 of you.

-sam: oh ok, we may need to talk about what happened later, for now goodbye dupes.

-everyone: bye.

>end of transmission

-travaldo: was him sam, the colony's ai.

-cobalt: yeah, ¿have we not told you to much about him?

-travaldo: well enough to know that he was the cause of the rocket mission.

-cobalt: oh okay, he is our colony's ai, we all think he's pretty nice, he was giving us jobs to keep the colony running, he keeps our moral high even if we are doing a lot of work, and he started to feel a bit bad and then he shutted down, liam had to get him to the irradiated forest asteroid, and get him to a vault. but now he's back.

-travaldo: oh ok, i will like to meet him.

-cobalt: i'm sure you will, he may even find a way to help you with you bristle blossom.

-travaldo: i think i can live with this bristle blossom.

-cobalt: wait i forgot, we need to leave that minor volcano that you found in a vacuum before it erupts, or it will be a mess to deal with.

-travaldo: then lets go.

 

-cobalt: oh, it has not erupted.

-travaldo: weird it started to rise pressure when i digged it up.

-cobalt it might have tried to erupt but it was buried, then it just had the pressure high and now it's idle.

-travaldo: ok let's vacuum it.

-cobalt: it might take a while and i think the volcano erupts every cycle, so a cycle to make a vacuum, we might want 2 pumps.

-travaldo: do we have the power for it.

-cobalt: we'll have to do it anyway.

 

>now entering lower orbital elipse

-sam: we're about to land, ¿how is the piloting doing liam?

-liam: doing good, 60 secs to land, it is never a great experience.

-sam: here we go.

>rocket: spirit of discovery has successfully landed

-sam: good to be back right liam.

-liam:*vomits*

-sam: it might be the poisoning or stress. how is the med bed going.

-otto: we built one and cleared the are from debris.

-liam: great *cough*

-sam: ok let liam rest and could you please tell me about travaldo.

-crimson: *nervous laughter* sorry.

-otto: ok liam was getting you to the vault, but we needed help with the colony, things were starting to fall apart, so we decided after much thought to turn on the mini pod and we chose travaldo. 

-sam: mmm ok at least he was printed correctly.

-crimson: yeah about that, he has a bristle blossom on it's head.

-sam:*inhales sound* ok, question has anyone eaten the bristle berry from the plant.

-otto: no, no, no that would be- cannibalism...

-sam: right, ok i guess he is here now, i didn't thought that the mini pod would fail that way but at least he is okay with the plant growing on its head.

i'll try to fix the mini pod later, for now i will give travaldo a welcome.

 

-cobalt: and there now we wait, hope that the vacuum is ready before the volcano erupts, then we get rid of the pumps and close it up.

-travaldo: ok-

*bristle blossom starts to bloom*

-travaldo: aaaah it's happening.

-cobalt: oh dear printing pod.

-travaldo: please help.

-cobalt: let's get you in to a bed.

Spoiler

-travaldo: the bristle blossom wasn't supposed to grow without light, how is it blooming, uuugh.

-cobalt: dont worry you'll be alright, there was light a shinebug was attracted to your plant.

-travaldo: i don't think i can wandle thi-*falls unconscious*

-cobalt: uh ¡travaldo!, ¡travaldo!, wake up, wake up, ooh for printing pod, what is the plant doing you.

*bristle blossom opens with a very floral sent*

-cobalt: ooooh, it's ready, please wake up travaldo. mmm it isn't very different from other bristle berries, i don't think it's edible.

-sam: hello, hello, I come to welcome you to the colony traval-

what is going on here.

*volcano rises pressure*

-cobalt: oh no, oh no, oh no, it's gonna erupt and the vacuum isn't ready, sam please examine travaldo he's unconscious, i'll try to get that vacuum more quickly.

-sam: travaldo, travaldo, mmm deja vu, i think it's the flower, meanwhile it's fully grown it makes travaldo unconscious until the berry falls of, this is because the biology of the blossom when it opens its flower the plant uses a lot of nutrients to generate that sent to attract something to carry it's seed somewhere else.

-cobalt: yeah it's very interesting the biology of the flower but how to we bring travaldo back.

-sam: oh sorry for that, the plant goes back to it's immature face when harvested, you just need to harvest the berry.

-cobalt: okay the vacuum it's going faster, does is it really safe to harvest it's berry.

-sam: i don't really know, under his circumstances i think it's the best, or if you wait some time, the berry will fall of alone.

-cobalt: uh i don't think travaldo has that much time, he need to eat and do other things to survive, i'll harvest it.

-sam: okay be careful and don't eat the berry, we don't know what effects it can have to another duplicant.

Spoiler

-otto: so how was your journey liam.

-liam: well very infectious, radioactive and there were pips to, like this one.

pip: squeak

*pip runs away*

-otto: hey come back little one.

-crimson: uuuuh, ¡i think it's is adorable!

-liam: come back, you can't cause any mischief in the colony.

Spoiler

-otto: there you are.

pip: squeek

-crimson: and grab it.

-liam: uh thanks for the help.

-otto: so what do you want this pip for.

-liam: he saved my life and it's a renewable source of dirt.

-crimson: ohh, how did it saved you.

-cobalt: please, work, please work.

*berry falls to the ground*

-sam: now don't touch the berry, wait with travaldo here, i'll take the berry.

-cobalt: ok, come on travaldo i know you can do it.

 

-liam: and that was the story, now could you please take to the med bay i might still be poisoned for radiation *cough*.

-crimson: yeah sure, follow me, and now that we are talking about various histories, how has the start of the colony otto.

-otto: i- i dont really want to talk about it.

-liam: i think it's something that you need to get out of your system, i'll tell you my story about my past colony.

-otto: uh okay.

Spoiler

-otto: so i was printed in cycle 21 i was assigned to be a researcher assistant, the colony was in that time composed of 7 dupes, leira, ada, abe, burt, harold, jean and I. the primary AI gave us orders, it never told us his name, the colony was doing alright, our source of oxygen was algae for the moment, we were planning to teleport someone to the other asteroid when- somehow the primary AI went dormant, we didn't knew how to run the colony correctly, we were alone, the cycles went by and we started to run low on algae, on a emergency move we all went to dig algae. things- went south, the carbon dioxide always flooded the lower levels, we were digging there, we got all the algae that we could, with our last bits of air, we ran up the stairs- i ran up first-, the ladder and the floor beneath collapsed, three of them fallen into a cool steam vent, the other three tried to build a ladder-,*teardrops fall to the ground* they had no more air left, ¡¡they smiled!! they smiled me and closed their eyes. i closed that area of before the colony was cooked, i tried to go into the teleporter, it was recuaried an AI to activate it, looking all around the colony, with a piece of oxylite that i got from the printing pod i was able to breath, then looking for something to help me, i found he, Secundary Artificial inteligence Module, or sam for short, i looked all round sam and found a manual switch, he turned on and we scaped the asteroid.

-crimson: ¡¡wow what a story!!

-liam: we are sorry for what happened.

-otto: it's okay, i'm fealing better after we buried them, it's very helpfull to cry for them.

-crimson: ok liam now you.

 

-sam: mmm the berry and the plant are identical in composition to the dupes and the food they eat, futher more it is also present in the algae, dirt and slime, the gravitas data base, says it is named genetic ooze, uhhh all the biological experiments are made out of this. the berry is even edible, despite it comes form travaldo's head, i'm not proud about all that they did, but i'm happy that they made me and gived me this purpose, after all these dupes are all that it's left.

-cobalt:¡sam travaldo waked up!

-sam: oh what a good news.

-travaldo: uh what happened.

-sam: em we harvested your berry, here it is if you want it, the plant seems to consume your stamina meanwhile it's blooming, as long as you are not exposed to light the plant will not grow, if it grows big enough to bloom go to bed, in the morning the berry will drop, and your stamina will be ok.

-travaldo: ok thanks for the help sam and cobalt, i guess this is my welcoming.

-sam: yeah i hope that you'll be ok in the colony.

Spoiler

-travaldo: ¿what do i do with- my berry?

-cobalt: i don't know, sam said it edible but i don't think it's ethical to eat it.

-travaldo: yeah that's not an option, lets check on the volcano.

-cobalt: yeah.

 

-liam: ok so i was part of a colony of 3, we were turner, mae and me, we lived inside this medium sized colony, the style of the tiles was different from what you use. auto was our AI, it teached us things, but didn't really had to much emotions, we learned things like a bit of farming mining, and all our food came from a conveyor chute, we had starter bathrooms which were really germy, and we had a few tasks in to do, there were some rooms in the colony that were closed for us, on of them contained the crytank that you got me out of.

one day everything started to fall apart, auto was deactivated, there was something like an earthquake, and many parts of the colony broke down, swirling patterns of the material that our manuals describe as neutronium started to form and abyssalite separated us from mae, the room with the cryotank opened due to the earthquake, i falled into the cryotank and my last sight was turner, he was really scared by the look in it's face, then everything started to slow down, i just dreamed all the time i was in the cryotank, then sam and you otto got me defrosted.

-otto: ¿do you have any idea if turner and mae survived?

-liam: i don't know-, but i have the hope to at least see one of them some day. also various parts of the base are all over the asteroid that i been to. so there's that hope.

-crimson: ¡we'll search for them!

-otto: yeah.

-liam: thanks guys, now it's time for me to rest ¿could you get me a basic rad pill?

-otto: oh yeah i'll go for the pill, i forgot.

Spoiler

-cobalt: the volcano erupted, and blocked itself, this is gonna be a mess to clean, how are we gonna do the projects that we had for the minor volcano.

-travaldo: what if we solidify the magma and dig some igneous rock, we wait for the minor volcano to go dormant and meanwhile we build what we want the volcano to do, when it's dormant otto can analyze it.

-cobalt: but to solidify the magma the heat needs to get out, it will be a mess i know it.

-travaldo: we'll vacuum the nearby area and carefully cool down the magma.

-cobalt: ugh let's do it then.

 

-sam: time to make some improvements to our home, let's start by taming that sulfur geyser, that can be used to obtain lots of good food.

-liam: but we can't eat sulfur.

-otto: but sweetles, grub grubs and grub fruit plants use sulfur to grow, and make good food.

-crimson: and grub grubs can grub rub plants to grow faster, sweetles can tend to grub fruit plants and make grub grubs who can grub rub a grub fruit plant, that's a mouthful.

-sam: correct, here have some sugar.

-otto and crimson: ¡sugar!

-liam: ¿isn't sugar made by sweetles and grub grubs?

-sam: yeah but it is edible and delicious.

so bring some steel, plastic, igneous rock, diamond.... and let's tame that sulfur geyser.

-liam: i guess it will be delicious.

-otto: and we'll get tired of being in atmo suits

-crimson: let's go.

>self cooling device blueprint selected

-sam: this is what you are gonna build.

 

-cobalt: so the place is vacuuming, ¿what are we gonna use the minor volcano for?

-travaldo: the blueprints say that we'll use it for petroleum boiling.

-cobalt: mmm that's very useful, the others must be tired of using the refinery.

-travaldo: yeah meanwhile lets refine some materials for the blueprint.

 

-sam: things are going well for now, hmm meanwhile they build the tamer, i'll look at the printing pod, repairing it can be very good for all.

the data entry for this is very interesting and confusing. this goes there and the blueprint selector needs to go wired like that- wait what's this.

oh the initial source of all the problems and the power source of the printing pod, the time bow, the best creation of my creators and their demise.

but it's the thing that made all these wonderful and brilliant dupes so it needs to stay, we cannot substitute this power source, not even all the power generation of the colony could power the printing pod.

and now the printing pod should be repaired.

-liam: how are you going.

-sam: oh liam, -what do you need.

-liam: i want to see it function, the mini pod at least.

-sam: ok, you now know it, this is a test so don't think to much about the result.

-liam: can i see the blueprints.

-sam: i guess all of you are what keeps things running, go ahead.

-liam: lets see, ¿can i print a dupe?

-sam: yes, if it looks good.

-liam: hmmm.

>blue print selected

>printing...

>succesfully printed

???: whoa, hello?

Spoiler

-sam: welcome to the colony ellie, your curriculum says that you are a experimented farmer and decorator.

-ellie: what's a curriculum, but yeah i love plants and decorate walls, when can i start.

-liam: hello you need a bit of experience first, come with me.

-ellie: hello, sure i'll go with you, these ugly walls need a bit of color.

-sam: well that's another one to look for, when she's ready with this base, she can go to sandstone base and improve a bit the decor. i think they will all go along very well.

 

-otto: we are finally done, i will never go back there.

-sam: you'll be alright, and i have someone to show you two.

-crimson: ¡¿who?!

-sam: ellie is the colony's decorator and farmer, say hello, meanwhile i need to look at our friends in the sandstone base.

-ellie: hiii.

 

-sam: hello you two, how are you doing, i have someone to show you two in the next cycles.

-travaldo: oh hello, we are almost finished.

-cobalt: ¡¿oh who, i wanna know?!

-sam: always so enthusiastic cobalt, good, it's ellie she will be our farmer and decorator, in the next couple cycles i'll present her.

-travaldo: uh, ¿how is she?, is she normal.

-sam: she is like all of you, i repaired the printing pod and mini pod, don't worry travaldo don't feel like you are an odd one, we all have a different thing that make us special.

-travaldo: ok, thanks sam.

-sam: i don't really know if you are welcome.

-travaldo: i am.

-cobalt: oh good to know that the printing pod is normal, we tamed a minro volcano.

-sam: good, that will make the job of refining oil easier, here this is what we are gonna build, but for now rest a bit, to help you with that make this confy recreation room.

-cobalt: ohhh ¡can we have a soda fountain!

-sam: absolutly.

Spoiler

-cobalt: soda fountain, soda fountain, the water is ready, and i got some co2 from the canister filler.

let's get sparkly.*puts co2 in soda fountain*

*soda fountain runs but stops before finishing*

-sam: oh no, we are running low on power.

-cobalt: the bubbly elixir wont come out of the machine, ¡what do we do!

-travaldo: oh yeah the base is having some problems, the power comes from some hatches, but the demand is high with all the things we are using.

-sam: mmmm i'll see what we can do for power, we might want to send some petroleum here from the swampy asteroid, to burn it for power, don't worry cobalt your soda is coming soon.

 

-otto: so this is the apartment block, this is your comfy bed, i know that you love plants so we put a glass pot with a mellow mallow, i know that you will go to the other asteroid soon, so if you want you can get the plant with you.

-ellie: oh gorgeous packs of glitter, thanks otto, this family of plants are very known for their shape that resembles a cradle, this is a fine addition to this place, i think some crown molding and stickers could also help.

-otto: well you are welcome, let's continue, this is the great hall, we are for the moment eating swampy delights but soon we'll be swimming in grub fruit preserve, the flavor is mostly good but when you get to the center of the jellie you'll find a dirty bit, just get it out and continue.

-ellie: oh grub fruit preserve, delicious, i'm not a chef but i know that those sweet preserves are a miracle.

-otto: and these are the bathrooms, there is a buddy bud for its floral sent, ¿you are not allergic are you?

-ellie: no, that is a very pretty plant, did you know that the sent it creates is pollen and is very similar to the pollen produced by the bristle blossom.

-otto: oh you know that i'm a dupe of science, ¿what is this pollen made of?

Spoiler

-sam: hello how are you going, i need you three to build a pipe from the refinery to the supply teleporter, also build a pipe from the oil well to the supply teleporter but don't hook them up for now, we have a petroleum boiler in the works, ellie are you enjoying the place?

-ellie: yes, there are wonderful plants in here, i took a look at the grub fruit plants, they are not spindly, the grub grubs intimidated me a little but the also love plants, had some time to decorate part of the place, and chat with otto about plants.

-sam: seems like a very good day, have you had any power problems?

-liam: actually no, it's that the reason of the pipe?

-sam: em yes, there are some problems with power in the other asteroid.

-crimson: are they ok?

-sam: yes, but the soda fountain stopped for cobalt...

-crimson: ¡a soda fountain!

-sam: you can have one later, there are some important problems for now.

-otto: em sam, the satellite has been receiving signals, but the connection is too low to see them.

-sam: the satellite what?

>rocket detected in orbit

-sam: ohh

*trailblazer module lands*

...

Spoiler

-travaldo: don't worry cobalt, i'm sure sam will be able to fix the power problems to bring you your soda.

-cobalt: ok but i still need to cry in memory of the soda fountain.

-travaldo: erm ok? i'll go take a look at the generators, maybe i can fine tuned them for some additional power meanwhile, if those batteries die we are gonna be in problems.

-cobalt: oh dear soda fountain you will be missed, your delicious co2 filled elixir will be forever remembered, now you can rest you have done a good job. *cries weirdly*

-travaldo: you'll get over it.

-cobalt: ¡no i won't!

 

-sam: well another visitor, hel-

-mae: silence, you box of transistors, is there any life in this planetoid.

-liam: ¡mae!

-mae: ohhh ¡liam! i been searching for any of you during ages, ¿is turner here?

-sam: well sorry for this welcoming, if you have anything against me, i'm sorry, my memory doesn't include you in any form, so i'm sorry if i did a bad thing to yo-

-mae: what did i said box of transistors, i need your silence.

-otto: oh more people, hello, ¿liam is her the mae you told us about?

-liam: em yes, i didn't though i would be able to see you again, ¿where have you been? also please don't be angry with sam, he isn't like any other machine, ¿did you had any bad circumstance with him?

-mae: well as for where i was, is found another cryotank in one of those rooms in the colony, i was defrosted by one of those automatic AI that tried to get rid of me for having landed in his project "biome spheres" or something like that, i had to survive in those biomes for a while, i finally deactivated that horrible Guard as it was called, and escaped, i found myself escaping from beetas in a radioactive biome, and then living in a forest trying to communicate with this place to receive no response, i had to build a rocket and pilot it to get here. ¡¿why didn't you got my message?!, ¡i'm really stressed and i won't stand another AI in my life!

-sam: i perceive that my presence is not helping right now, i'll visit the other planetoid for a bit to arrange some things, please welcome our guest and show her the place.

-mae: ¡yeah get lost!

-otto: mae you don't have to be mean with sam, he has not done anything bad, he's actually the reason we are all alive right now.

-mae: ok i might consider knowing a bit more this "sam", but for know i would like some rest.

-crimson: i'll show you the place, ¿also did you said something about a rocket?

-mae: yes

-crimson: ¿but where is it?

-mae: oh yeah, it's still in orbit.

-liam: i'll take care of that, a rocket platform should be enogh to tell the computer of the rocket to land.

-ellie: oh hello, i'll make you a little place to relax, some calming plants will make you wounders.

-mae: oh that would be great, thanks---

-ellie: ellie.

-mae: thanks ellie.

...

Spoiler

-sam: i'm back cobalt, the power will be fixed shortly.

-cobalt: *keeps crying to the soda fountain*

-sam: is he ok?

-travaldo: at this point i don't even know, ¿how are you? i see that you don't feel as always

-sam: uuuh ¿how do you know?

-travaldo: i may not express to many emotions but i know very well how someone is feeling.

-sam: i think i'm ok, for now i need you to refine quite a lot of glass.

-travaldo: for what?

-sam: the solution to our power problems, what i call the solar rocket.

-travaldo: i thought that we didn't had that research unlocked.

-sam: well let's say that otto has been sleeping a bit irradiated for researching with whezewhorts

-travaldo: i hope he's ok, what you've got in plan.

-sam: a solar array that will stay in the ground, staking upwards.

-travaldo: ohh.

-sam: yes, to the glass forge!

-travaldo: it's gonna be a long day....

-cobalt: ¡¿and then i can have my soda?!

-sam: yes cobalt, then you can have as many sodas as you want.

 

-sam: this guest in the colony has left me with many questions, she seems to have been in the biome spheres by accident, the database has not many entries in this Guard, but the little that it contains shows that the program was not meant to have a dupe in it, it might have thought that it was a danger to the biomes as she seemed to be eating the plants, i'm sorry for her, must not trust me because of what happened in his colony and the biome spheres, i hope to be able to make up for what happened to her.

Spoiler

-mae: ohhhh yes, massage, you know ellie.

-ellie: ¿what?

-mae: i consider myself weak of stomach but i'm strong in mind, i may be stressed right now, but when i feel better i'm really able to work.

-ellie: ok, can i ask you a question?

-mae: sure.

-ellie: ¿how much time were you in that asteroid?

-mae: *inhales* i really don't know, that- place didn't any form of clock, you get lost when you don't see the time pass, my only clock was my internal clock, i slept very little always running away from that Guard, then i escaped, i finally could see the surface and use that as a clock, i still can't sleep for to long, i may have developed some sort of narcolepsy because of that, i was free but alone, ¡i tried to contact this asteroid but nothing!

-ellie: i'm very sorry for that, otto told me the connection only became stable when you were really close, we are all sorry, you could have died and we didn't helped you.

-mae: don't worry i'm not angry with any of you, you didn't controlled the connection.

-ellie: what about sam, he really isn't bad, you made him go away.

-mae: ellie please don't start, we really can't trust this type of machines, i was able to survive alone without any kind of AI, everyone can too.

-ellie: i'll go for some swampy delights for you, your massage session will end soon, i hope you enjoyed.

-mae: yes i really loved this massage table, so relaxing.

 

-liam: ¡i'm so happy to see mae again, i have so many things to tell her!

-otto: soon liam, soon, this pipe will bring oil for refining to the other asteroid.

-crimson: and now, ¡it's ready!

-otto: well now that we are done, i would like to talk about sam, is he ok with what mae said, he seemed a bit bad when he left.

-crimson: i think he is alright, he has show a lot of patience with us, i think the situation will be fixed soon.

-liam: she is salty for now, but not with sam, i think, for now she needs to rest, sam will find a way to get in her good side.

-otto: oh now the oil is flowing.

 

-travaldo: do we really need this much glass.*keeps smelting glass*

-sam: yes travaldo, do it for cobalt, he's gonna be so happy when he gets his soda.

 

-cobalt: ♬ building lots of solar panel modules to get my soda ♬

 

-travaldo: there, 200 orders of glass.

-sam: that should be enough for now.

-travaldo: for now?

-sam: let's bring them to cobalt.

 

-otto: oh a private order, hmmm.

  • build a orbital research inside rocket.
  • research list
  • manufacture plastic

space research will be so fun, but i'm not a pilot.

>you have been assigned a new skill: rocket pilot

yay, it's time for science, better get building.

Spoiler

-liam: otto what are you doing?

-otto: space time, any other question.

-liam: ¿are you qualified to fly a rocket?

-otto: obviously, see my hat.

-liam: ok then.

-otto: rocket time rocket time *goes into the rocket*

>research rocket list

>orbital microlab: stable, plastic medium ready

>rocket list ready

>launching...

-otto: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh.

-otto: ok i might need to train a bit more later, for now research time, hmm i think it's totally intended for this to fall apart, you go there, you here, and you should shine in a neon green kinda way. *sings making science*

 

-sam: hmmm i know what to do, a neural vacillator should be enough to make up for mae, because who doesn't like to have their genes shuffled around. i just need to find the right time and boom sunny disposition for mae and a special diet of the first grub fruit preserve, ooh and a mechanical surfboard.

-cobalt: sam you are thinking out loud, what's a neural vacillator.

-sam: aaah how did you found me, well it's about time i told you about gravitas, the neural vacillator is this machine, it can give you various traits, one of them is sunny disposition i have tuned this one to give sunny disposition to mae when she comes, i just wanted to make her happy and smooth things with her.

-cobalt: mmm sounds great how can i help you.

-sam: um ok, she doesn't trust me so we are gonna invite her to know you and travaldo, you get her into the machine and tadda everyone's happy.

-cobalt: seems solid, but can it hurt mae?

-sam: not really it wasn't designed to do that, she'll be ok.

 

-otto: the view is beautiful out here, i wonder what other things are out there, there is so much empty space, and then there is that big planet in the distant, a crater in its surface is a scar of the past, a past that i think was mine, then there are other lights in the dark, what i think is my future, the possibilities present in every asteroid, somewhere to build our future, even if many of our friends are long gone. ohh the research it's ready better keep doing science.

Spoiler

-liam: hello mae, are you better now?

-mae: oh yes, that massage table makes wonders.

-liam: oh good, you are invited to visit our other friends in the other asteroid if you want, just go into that teleporter.

-mae: hmm ok, i would love to see other dupes, how does the teleporter works?

-liam: you just get in there, i press this button and boom.

>activating teleporter

>sending...

 

-mae: whoaaaaa, such a strange technology, oh hello.

-travaldo: hi, you are mae right?

-mae: yes and you are?

-travaldo: travaldo, please come with me, as you are visiting us we made somethings to welcome you into the colony.

-mae: uuuuuu, thanks.

-cobalt: ¡hello!

-mae: oh hi, you are crimson right?

-cobalt: no thats my twin but don't worry, i'm cobalt, and here is one of your presents, it's what we like to call a relaxation machine, just get in the chair and the process will start.

-mae: oh is it safe.

-cobalt: completely, travaldo used another one the other day and look at him.

-mae: em he has a plant in his head, not that it's bad i think it suits you very well.

-travaldo: yeah and it made a very good job, my plant has not felt so much better before.

-mae: ok, so i sit here and-, whoa why does it has belts i don't like this.

>starting neural vacillation...

-mae: what is that- uh ohh *starts speaking nonsense*

-sam: good job dupes, now we wait.

-travaldo: is she gonna be happy about this?

-cobalt: she's gonna be fine and happy, how much time does it takes.

>vacillation compleat

-mae: i feel so- refreshed, oh that thing is great, oh hello computer box how are you doing.

-sam: well that's and improvement, i'm ok how are you mae.

-mae: i feel spectacular, what are we gonna do next?

-cobalt: we got some grub fruit preserve for you.

-travaldo: and in your asteroid there is a mechanical surfboard waiting for you.

-mae: i love surfing, can i go now?

-sam: yes.

 

-sam: she seems very happy, i think we did a good thing.

-travaldo: i guess so but you still need to get in her good side by a real and not forced way.

-sam: yeah i sorry for that, but she tolerates me now at least.

-cobalt: ¡yeah i see this as an absolute win, ¿can i have a vacillation next?!

-sam: um sure, just let me find a recharge, oh and travaldo ¿are the solar modules ready?

-travaldo: yes but please don't do this again, now cobalt you can have a soda.

-cobalt: !ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yesssssssssss! *drinks the whole machine stockpile*

-sam: i don't think that's a safe amount of soda...

-cobalt: oh that was refreshing- *has a hiccup* oh *hiccup**hiccup*

-sam: yeah that was not good.

-cobalt: oh no *hiccup**hiccup*

-bioengineerig critters: hatch

This creature has been developed as a way of generating renovable coal from organic material, capable of reproducing by itself it's will be able to sustain the colony project, it has been added to it's reproduction the possibility of a change in it's genes, in specific conditions to the hatch will lay an egg with different properties depending on the diet of the original hatch, this new hatch is capable of consuming and producing these different materials.

raw minerals into coal, organics into coal, and raw metals into refined metals.

This ability is due to a digestive system capable of reducing the carbonic compound in the rock into coal, consuming the rock in the process and producing coal. The sage hatch digestive system reduces the organic compound into coal using the subproducts as food. In the case of the smooth hatch, it consumes the raw minerals the metal it's traped in, and most of the metal remains. He creature has been made primarily out of (clasified).

This creature can be used as a food, electricity or refined metals source, it is being currently tested in the colony project.

???:now you little you are an error in the spheres and i'll correct you, so stop moving...

???:just let me go, i wouldn't be here if it weren't for you keeping me here and trying to get rid of me.

???:denied, i'll stop you in your tracks, my programmation isn't designed to have you here, consuming the resources that the spheres produce, all of that need to go into my material repurposing facility, so stop now...

???: okay you force me to this.

*closes liquid valves*

???: no no no stop, you are breaking the ethanol recirculation system.

noo, now the nosh sprouts can't be refrigerated with the cascading ethanol, enough of this nonsense, there's only 4 spheres left, and i won't lose any of them.

???: let me go or other vital systems for your beloved spheres go down.

???: what about no.

???: and just where i wanted you.

>security doors closing please evacuate the oceanic tide pools sphere immediately

???: what are you doing, let me go.

???: i didn't wanted to resort to this, but it will be the best for this project, i will now activate the flooding mechanism that controls the tides in this sphere, the whole sphere will flood and i will be able to get rid of you.

???: wait no let me go, the water weeds will be flooded.

???: but the water weed will not die due to the water, you on the other hand.

???:ugh, wait what's this.

*opens maintenance door*

???: what are you doing there, do not touch anything i don't have any entry on that place to know what it contains.

???: mmm g.u.a.r.d. emergency off procedure.

guard: do not touch anything, just wait a bit meanwhile the water level rises.

???: to activate procedure, turn all automatic switches off, this will deactivate guard, and leave all life support systems in the spheres in stasis, please note that this procedure is in case of emergency only.

guard: get out of there and i might leave you alive, do not touch anything.

???: well see if you like this.

*starts turning switches off*

guard: no no nooooooo---.

>shut off procedure initiated, life support systems in stasis, co2 pumps activated, starting plant and critter stasis, please evacuate.

???: oh i did it, now to look for a way out of here.

???: what a cold place, aaaah beetas beetas, run run run. uh what a place to have to live in, mmm a natural stair case, something must be at the top.

a lot of time and carbon dioxide later what do i find but a forest with arbor trees. more bit of the base are present here i wonder if some one else was here before, wait theres lots of polluted water bottles here, and some things that are not part of the base, an algae deoxidiser and a bit of infastructure, somebody was here, oh please be liam or anybody else. nobody this deadly asteroid dosen't has anyone to help me, just a crashed thing and a rocket platform.

 

but i do wonder diary, if theres other asteroids out there with dupes, i found that the crashed thing is a satelite, tomorrow i'll try to use it to send a message. this is my last chance.

-sam: ok i see the situacion, the chances of survival are low let me do an analisis of the time we got left an search for a form of survival.

-otto: there's only one thing left but i needed your help for that. its an old teleporter, but i need you to activate it.

-sam: ok thats a viable option but we dont know what can be in the other side.

-otto: we don't have much time nor oxygen.

cicle 98:

-sam: this should keep us alive for a few more cicles, but i'm still concerned about all the polluted oxygen and all this biome that is constantly falling apart. 

-otto: the air isn't good for my lungs *coughs*

-sam: lets keep digging and serch for a bit of sand for a cople deodorizers.

-otto: i'd rather not dig away from the base*nervous*

-Sam: ¿why not?

-otto: they- they screame- the air was to thick. i dont want to talk more about that.

-sam: it's ok we can dig close by but for the well being of the colony and you, i need you to tell me what happened in the sandstone asteroid.

-otto:*sigh*ok i'll tell you:

the colony was growing, everything was going well, but something happened the colony's AI went dormant, i'm a scientist it went dormant because something trigger it, i don't know what but with no more instructions we were on our own. we run the colony alone for a bit more, we used up our  algae, then we tried digging for more, there was no more time, em- the air was too thick, stale, we dug out too far... we went rushing for oxygen, i got  to the ladder first, went up and then- the ground moved, the ladder down colapsed, the others were trapped, they fight uop for air, then they screa- screamed, the temperature went up rapidly, a hot steam vent and it's reservoir down below were uncovered by the preasure, heated everyting up above, they repidly were uncapacitated, unable to build, move, or breath *cryes* they- they gave a smile of relief before nothing more.

i cried, scaped from the heat, and  run the colony for a bit.

i couldn't burry them, i had to close of that section because of the heat, the levels of oxygen were critical, i printed the oxylite and with my last hopes i found the teleporter and you, with little time left i reactivated you and here we are.

why did they had to die, why did i had to survive, alone...

-sam: i'm sorry for what you had to go through, you may think that you have all the weight of the colony in your shoulders but dont think like that i know that the others would have liked you to keep going. i myself wasn't made to be the one controlling the colony nor i am ok how i wasn't here to help the colony in the first place, i was made to help but i broke i thank you for bringing me back, for now we should keep this lonely colony going, it is hardcoded into me after all.

-otto: thanks, yeah we should...

-sam: let's try to build a mini-pod and see if we can print something of our desire.

-otto: sounds like a plan.

*building multi-tool noises*

-sam: great now we wait, let's give some sand to that deodorizer and see what else this place got for us, since there was a teleporter receiver and the ruins of a base , there may be more equipment down here let's try to dig up...

-otto:*sigh*ok.

*distant messaging sounds*

-sam: there seems to be some sort of signal transmission happening around lets keep digging.

*a wall crumbles and falls*

-sam: this place must be where that sound is coming from...

>attention.

>signal transmission detected

>accept contact?

>Yes No

-sam: oh an old computer, something is trying to send us a signal.

-otto: ohhh accept contact there might be others dupes somewhere.

-otto: what does it saying?

-sam: seems the connection is unstable maybe if we connect this computer to an antenna near the surface we might get a clearer message. let's go up that ladder.

*ladder climbing*

-sam: perfect an old antenna let's hope that this works, connect it to the computer otto.

>current errand: monitoring

-sam: it seems to have detected the life in this asteroid and is sending us blueprints for sustainable systems to keep the colony alive, amazing.

-otto: but ¿why is this here and who build it, and put it in orbit?

-sam: it's identified as a gravitas equipment, as everything else in this ruins this corporation manufactured me but other than that i don't know, it seems to want the survival of the life in this asteroid, i think we can trust what is wanting us to build, as for this asteroid monitoring i think it could detect other asteroids.

-otto: alright but i'm going to need a lot of help to build all of this let's check on the printer and cryotank to see if we can sustain the colony with more people.

-sam: ok i'll get this computer more close to the colony to see what else it can teach us.

*slightly distorted printing pod tune*

-sam: the mini pod is ready let's see what we have.

-otto: a builder-digger would be nice.

-sam: oh we have one lets see: early bird, yokel looks like a good choice.

>printing...

>rejecting other alternatives...

>printed success-ssssss.....fully

two dupes are printed

-otto: wait what happened.

-sam: the mini pod seems to have malfunction printing two dupes from only one, each one with half of the traits from the original dupe.

-otto: em hello...

-rowan / rowan: *at the same time* hi *each looks to the other one*  wait who are you, why are you like me.

-sam: well this is gonna get confusing. the mini pod seems to be malfunctioning because of its link to the printing pod which is broken. i hope we have enough resources to keep these two alive, mmm there was some cloths around here... yes there they are one warm sweater and one cool vest, that will make them different from each other, also i'm gonna make different names for you two.

-rowan / rowan: ok.

-sam: you'll be cobalt and you'll be crimson, im sorry im not good with names, cobalt you are our digger, crimson you are our builder. lets get some of these blueprints builded.

-otto: sam, i don't know if we can keep using the mini pod, with these malfunctions happening, what could it print.

-sam: i know this is not the best situation i'll see what i can do with the limited colony for the moment and then we'll have to go to the source of all this problems, even if we didn't needed more help this asteroid doesn't count with all the things we need to be sustainable. i know that you don't want to go there again.

>¡incoming data!

-cobalt: oh what's that.

-crimson: yeah what is it.

-sam: oh it's the satellite let's see what it has detected.

> important resources and data detected in asteroid denominated: irradiated forest

> it's recommended to reach location when basic to medium survival is ready

> gravitas data vault detected in this location

-sam: well that will be our next step after we go back to sandstone asteroid and build all of this.

-liam: thanks for defrosting me _____?

-otto: otto.

-sam: hello little dupe.

-liam: auto, hello- what happened ?

-sam: no, sorry i'm not who you think, i'm your secondary artificial intelligence module or sam for short, as for what happened we defrosted you from the cryotank, and from what you said this is not the colony you are from isn't?

-liam: no- ,something happened- we couldn't do to much everything started to fall apart and get mixed, this stuff *points at abissalyte* started to grow everywhere and i got pushed into this room and i fell into the cryotank.

-sam: this is very interesting because my reports tell me we were the first colony protocol to have been activated, but this colony already existed, could you tell us more.

-liam: i don't know, i need to think for a bit.

-otto: meanwhile i'll show you the colony and if you wnat you can help us a bit.

-otto: these are the bathrooms, self-sustainable, don't think too much what you wash your hands with.

-liam: i may have a problem with germs.

-otto: this is the water tank, we may start to run low later.

-liam: any solution for that?

-otto: for now not.

-otto: the barracks, there are 4 beds, this is your's.

-liam: comfy i guess.

-otto: this is a supply teleporte rinput, we use it to get some things for our friend in another asteroid meanwhile he repairs some- stuff there and he gives us some resources back with this output.

-liam: i re- remember this we used to send things through the input but we never got anything back.

otto: um- ok, this is the factory floor, as i like to call it, we are spinning some salad- hehe it's actually mud and preparing to build atmosuits to get into our next stop. the oil biome a hot but resource-full place, filled with oil and zombie-infecting germs at least what sam can detect.

-liam: mmm i never seen something quite like that.

-otto: i don't know if this is something that i should ask you right now but, ¿how was your place before being this humid swamp?

-liam: um *inhales* it was cousy, we didn't do too much, just run our little colony, we didn't dig and somehow food just appeared out of a rail, auto was starting to introduce us into farming, then- it happened.

-otto: i see, i think you need a bit of time alone- *downtime* oh it's downtime i forgot to bring you to the great hall, lets go, we'll eat something, i'll present you a firend, and then you can rest if you want.

-otto: he is crimson, he is our digger he was called rowan but the mini pod printed two of them form one so sam renamed them.

-liam: hello.

-crimson: hi, do you want some swamp chard heard?, it's kinda sweet but also swampy.

-liam: em ok.

-liam: what is the mini pod otto?

-otto: oh i also forgot about it, it's a wonderful but right now broken machine capable of 3d printing us and other stuff.

-liam: that's very intriguing and neat.

-otto: yeah but we should not touch it because right now what it prints could go wrong.

-crimson: but it will be fixed once cobalt is able to get the sandstone colony running and sam gets a bit of time to look at it, at least that's what he said.

-liam: ok *bed time* i guess i should go rest now.

-otto: yeah tomorrow it's gonna be a long day.

 

-sam: *to himself* another cycle gone i really hope we can get everything running before we run out of resources, because i don't know how much more my system can run i was not made for thi- this, it's getting abit worse, i need to really take a look at whathappend with it and see if i can fix it, maybe if i do that and the condition of the base is better,it might get out of dormancy. i just hope they can have a future, this is all that iis left even if i can't remember what they wanted or what gravitas was... oh i remember the satelite it detected something.

yes here it is a data vault from gravitas in another asteroid, if i can't reset the primary AI our plan b will be to go ther e and maybe the data vault has something to fix me-eeeeeee.

-sam: hello all of you my wonderful dupes, please everyone of you come all close to me.

-all the dupes: here we are.

-sam: thank you for coming all close even though some are in different asteroids, ok i have some things to tell to all of you, you've done a great job in both planets, im sorry for the conditions that you are in, but we really dont have too much time, i'm gonna need at least one of you to go to a far destination.

*starts presentation*

-sam: this is the asteroid that we are after, it doesn't contains too much in terms of resources for our survival, but the reason we need to go there, the reason you built this space program, is because i was not made to be your leader, i was programed to be an assistant, and even in that i falled i couldn't help the first AI when it was active, i couldn't help otto, and the other dupes when they were alone until it was almost too late, now i am going to fail to all of you.

-otto: no, why are you going to fail us, you've done such a great job at being our leader, don't worry about the past.

-sam: i don't want to fail all of you, but i am not in th e best conditionright now, i've been hiding this but my program is slowl y falling, corrupting, as my system failed i nthe start, that's why i could not start automati cally when all started, but forme and for you my dupesthere's o n e la st hope, that asteroidcontains a data vault fromthe oneswh o created meeee-eeeee*static* i-t m ay contai   n so meee thin-g too-o-oo o fi x errooooor 4...8-5 has occurred shuting down

-otto: sam, sam oh no.

-cobalt and crimson: what do we do now.

-liam: he said something about the vault that can fix him, we need to go to that planet.

-otto: but if someone goes there we'll lose all communication with him.

-cobalt: but now we are on our own.

-crimson: eventually something will run out and we may not be able to fix it alone.

-liam: yeah we need to get sam working again we need to go there.

-otto: we don't even have the technology to go there yet, we dont even have a pilot.

-liam:*inhales* i'll go, in orbit around the planet i'll go reserching the things we need, i need: plastic, food, and oxylite, the rocket interior is done so we don't need to worry about that.

-cobalt i can get you the oxylite and a bit of food.

-crimson: and i the plastic but we need someone else if you are gone, otto we need the mini pod and get liam in the teleporter.

-otto: but the mini pod is not in it's best shape, and i dont know if it can print something functional anymore.

-liam: it's our last option we need to do it.

-otto: ugh ok but you'll be alone in that rocket, ¿can you handel it?

-liam: i'll have to.

-otto: ok, go into the skill scruber then we'll asign you to pillot, crimson and cobalt get the resources for the rocket and what you need to send send it bya the suply teleporter, then we send liam in the teleporter and into space, go go go.

-otto: ugh it still makes me dizzy, how are we going?

-liam: the plastic and food are on the rocket, we don't have enough oxylite so we are going to use algae to pressurise the capsule and then we instal the orbital research module.

-otto: ok, you are going to need to bring sam and see what the vault has to repair him,but first you research the rest of the technology we need, then come back to the asteroid and we build the module for you to build a platform in the asteroid, then the rocket will land. you are not going to be able to hear us when you go out of orbit from this asteroid.

-liam: please build some sort of cleaning station in the rocket do whatever you need to get some space fo it but build it.

-otto: i'll see what i can do but calm down.

-liam: you don't know what is to be there, i'll go take a shower right now.

-otto: we don't have any showers.

-otto: uhh well crimson let's go see what the mini pod has to offer.

-crimson: ¡¿can i make the choice?!

-otto: yeah i guess but we need a good dupe.

-crimson: yeeey.

-crimson: let's see a builder farmer, a supplier doctor, a operator supplier, or a bristle blosoom seed.

-otto: see what negative traits they have.

-crimson: mmm flatulent no thanks, anemic, and noodle arms. i think i'm gonna chose the operator.

-otto: good choice it's travaldo. let's hope everything goes right, you can say hello first if you want.

-otto: ok liam now you are on orbit, when you move away from the asteroid you will not be able to hear us, your rocket has enough supplies to keep you alive in your journey and if something goes wrong, the food should last until you come back, I examined sam's structure and there is a port that you'll need to connect something to. the satélite detected life and various thing for a few life support systems in this particular asteroid, but it also detected various sources of radiation so be carefull.

-crimson: we wish the best for you.

-cobalt: one last thing, if you have time and the conditions on the asteroid are good search for resources and geological reservoirs, like his cool steam vents or something similar.

-travaldo: good luck. can we now talk about the mision.

-liam: trabaldo the microphone is still on i can still hear you.

-travaldo: sorry about that.

-liam: here i go.

>communication with rocket: spirit of discovery lost

list of cargo when launched:

algae, cobalt ore, secondary a.I. module, duplicant: liam

-liam: one third of the way there. just resist a little longer.

 

-otto: well travaldo does that explain it to you.

-travaldo: i guess so.

-otto: good, also what's that floral smell we don't have any buddie buds or bristle blossoms here.

-crimson: it seems to come from travaldo, its more floral close to him.

-travaldo: really?

-otto: is that a question, or you are playing with us.

-travaldo: a question, come on you should know if it is this or that.

-otto: i can't. but yeah the floral sent seems to be coming from travaldo.

 

-liam: two thirds of the way, i think i can see the asteroid through the window. what's that glowing in it's center. oh that's a good place to land there.

ok i'm in orbit, autopilot and into the trailblazer module, uh a bit cramped in here i hope the impact won't be too har-

>deploying trailblazer module.

-liam: aaaaaaah.

*something lands on the surface*

-liam: well i'm not doing that again, oh there's no atmosphere. i should be able to dig through this.

*multi tool digs through various materials*

-liam: oh thank the pod there's oxygen here, i should build a door to not let it scape. oh a little critter, mmm what the manual says about this critter mm a pip seems friendly. this ore seems metallic i should be able to build the door out of this. now i need to build a platform, my landing module should have enough cobalt for it.

finally, now land rocket.

>landing platform detected

>landing...

*rocket engine stops*

-liam: well that something less out of the list, now i need water for some toilets, and get sam into the surface to search for that vault.

*time passes*

-liam: ok this asteroid seems to contain pips, arbor trees, aluminium ore, dirt, and igneous rock. at least in the surface this place seems pacific. well time to search for that data vault.

woah is this the vault, it looks like a satelite,it crashed pretty hard to leave this crater in the asteroid, it seems mostly intact tho.

>medium levels of radiation detected

-liam: oh yeah they gave me this rad detector. well even if there's radiation nearby i need to bring sam there.

pip: squeeeek

 

-sam: auuhaah no- now i remember.

 

-sam: liam i'm back, how is the colony, for how much did i was unactive.

-liam: they are doing well, not to much like 10 cycles, but i may be a little stressed.

-sam: that's not good. how much fuel is in that rocket.

-liam: not enough to get us back for the moment *cogh* we may need to find something *cogh* to make *cogh* CO2.

-sam: are you ok i know that you are a vomiter, but this cogh is not because your stress or the air.

-liam: i'm fine *cogh* i need to build us somethin-

At least I can try.

-travaldo: could you two stop smelling me.

-crimson and otto: ok sorry.

-crimson: could this be caused by the error in the mini pod.

-otto: i think so..., wait didn't there was seed for a bristle blossom in the printable options.

-crimson: oh yeah.

-otto: travaldo was printed and combined with the seed, it can grow in the wild but it always need light.

-travaldo: oh really, I am also a plant, i don't know if i want to be a plant.

-crimson: light like the one coming from the sky above us.

-otto: yeah, the plant must only grow when you are exposed to light travaldo. could i take a look at you.

-travaldo: em ok, but i don't want to be a plant could you do something to get rid of it.

-otto: i don't know lets see, oh there's a stem in your head.

-travaldo: ohh please get it off my head.

-otto: it part of you travaldo, you don't need to do this show.

-crimson: and is actually very cool if you think about it, you can grow your own meal if you are exposed to light.

-otto: doesn't that counts as eating yourself?

-travaldo: ¡¡stop now, this is ridiculous can you do something to get rid of this plant!!

-otto: sorry travaldo but i don't think you can be separated from the plant, and is not causing you any harm.

-travaldo: ughhh i need some time to think.

*walks away*

-crimson: i hope liam is doing well.

-otto: yeah because we are not handling the situation very good.

>incoming communication with sandstone asteroid

-cobalt: ¡hello ¿how are you doing there?!

-otto: not really well.

-crimson: hello cobalt how are you doing.

-cobalt: well most of the systems here are doing well, now we have renovable water from the cool steam vents, but i'm lacking a source of power more effective.

-otto: i hope sam can find a solution to all of this, if liam is successful, because we can't progress as much as this colony needs.

-crimson: let's check the satellite for information about this asteroids and other bodies around us.

-otto: ok it might give us a bit of hope.

>incoming message detected

>location unknown until signal tracking device operational

>decoding message

< SOS__IRADIATED__ASTEROID >

-crimson: it seems to come from the asteroid that liam needed to get to.

-otto: if i recall correctly the time for liam to get to the asteroid has passed, it must be him, he must be in a bad situation to send this SOS message.

-cobalt: he must has landed in the asteroid and found something to communicate with us.

>unidentifided object is requesting connection with satelite

accept?

-otto: we should accept it could be also from him.

>connection established by beta signal with object identifed as gravitas data vault

hello- he-llo *static* it- m-e lia  m *static* we -eed hel-p *static*

-crimson: it's got to be him, and he needs help.

-otto: wait he said we, maybe he repaired sam, and is communcating with us somehow bya the data vault.

-cobalt: what could we do?

-otto: but we don't have enough resources or a pilot, nor can we print another dupe and get even worse things happening.

 

 

-sam: yes we got communication with them, it's unstable but they should be able to think something to gelp us, meanwhile i need to give you something to absorve that radiation.

pip: squeek *picks water weed sed and plants it*

-sam: where did you find that? oh an ocean biome, one of this water weeds must be ready for harvesting and is could cure liam!

now to see every one of them.

here liam i know you are unconcious, but i need you to eat this, come on bit the lettuce, there that will help you a bit but you'll need more.

uhh all the plants are too inmature to get more lettuce, there should be some pacu or other sea food around.

-sam: oh i guess you still need to go to the bathroom. ohhh a pacu and some fish. finally because if we don't do something your oxygen will run out eventually, here i'm sorry but you'll need to eat the fish uncooked. in the meantime i need this communication to be more stable. maybe if i achieve it i could give some info to the dupes, i really hope they are okay.

 

-otto: oh the satélite has established a stable signal with them.

-crimson: it's sam!, they seem to be sending us plans.

-cobalt: can we send him a message.

-otto: the connection can only hold one way signals.

-crimson: he says that he is back again running but liam is resting because of radiation poisoning.

-otto: oh no.

-cobalt: he is sending me a list of projects i'll need a bit of help.

-crimson: we could send travaldo to help you, he is not very happy with us for the moment maybe you can talk with him.

-otto: seems good.

-cobalt: i'll see what i can do.

 

-otto: travaldo we are sorry about not helping you, if you want you can help cobalt in the sandstone asteroid.

-travaldo: mmm ok, thanks for your apologies, i guess i need to learn how to live with this bristle blossom.

 here i go-

>duplicant successfully sent

-travaldo: ugh i didn't knew it would make me dizzy.

-cobalt: ¡hello!

-travaldo: ¿crimson? ¿how are you here?

-cobalt: oh i'm actually cobalt, crimson's twin, well kinda, we both came out of the pod at the same time, you can differentiate us by our clothes.

-travaldo: oh sorry, cobalt.

-bioengineerig critters: hatch

This creature has been developed as a way of generating renovable coal from organic material, capable of reproducing by itself it's will be able to sustain the colony project, it has been added to it's reproduction the possibility of a change in it's genes, in specific conditions to the hatch will lay an egg with different properties depending on the diet of the original hatch, this new hatch is capable of consuming and producing these different materials.

raw minerals into coal, organics into coal, and raw metals into refined metals.

This ability is due to a digestive system capable of reducing the carbonic compound in the rock into coal, consuming the rock in the process and producing coal. The sage hatch digestive system reduces the organic compound into coal using the subproducts as food. In the case of the smooth hatch, it consumes the raw minerals the metal it's traped in, and most of the metal remains. He creature has been made primarily out of (clasified).

This creature can be used as a food, electricity or refined metals source, it is being currently tested in the colony project.

-bioengineering critters: drecko

this creature has been developed as a way of generating a soft fiber by inserting the genes of thimble reed into the organism giving it the ability of growing int it's back side a insulated layer of reed fiber, the critter didn't possess the conditions that the plant has so an alternative has been put in place, so that the drecko can grow the fiber if exposed to a hydrogen atmosphere without consuming the hydrogen. the drecko is also capable of reducing plant matter from: pincha pepper, balm lily and mealwood into phosphorite. if the diet of the drecko contains high amounts of mealwood it will produce a glossy drecko, this variant will turn mealwood and bristle blossom into phosphorite, exposed to hydrogen atmosphere it will grow bioplastic scales.

it is recommended for this creature to be paired with the plants of it's diet, excluding mealwood as it's rate of consumption of this particular plant could lead to a starving colony, the drecko is currently being tested in the colony project.

 

-bioengineering critters: puft

>error corrupted data detected unable to compute-eeee

 

-bioengineering critters: wheezewort

this creature has been developed as a way of cooling, it's apariance similar to a plant is to hide the internal membranes capable of using thermal energy to feed the creature, it's outer membranes circulate the surrounding air in and out of the creature, it does not consumes many resources and it's cooling properties can be improved if it's feed phosphorite.

it has been decided to be integrated into a self sustaining biosphere including sleet wheat as it requires low temperature to grow.

 

>system error any information that was contained in the rest of this log has corrupted due to internal bits in the memory being affected by high level of radiation during a long time

 

-bioengineering plants: mealwood

this plant has been developed as a low resource food capable of sustaining a colony, until other alternatives are an option, the plant grows a stem similar to wood that when matures produces a grain that starts to move around the stem, the grain is edible tho long term consuption is currently being tested for side efects.

it has been tested in the colony project showing medium results because of the grain taste and apperance, the tests have shown that prolonged exposure can be harmfull to the mind, it has been opted to further develop other plants for food production.

-cobalt: so we have some work to do, what do you want to do first. we have to: start exploring for some free resources from geyser, vents, and volcanoes. we also have to build some blueprint's that are being sent to us some of these include: temperature regulation for the base, it's quite big. repair a industrial facility somewhere in here.

-travaldo: mmm i would like to search around for some vents or geysers. also where do this errands come from.

-cobalt: oh well sam gave us some things to do before, but right now we are following our manuals information, but not always these manuals have the solution. and yeah you can co and dig a bit, and see if you find a source of water or something interesting, but please if you find something don't fully uncover it, the majority of the vents and geysers generate materials at quite hot temperatures.

-travaldo: ok, what are you gonna do?

-cobalt: i'll take a look at that industrial facility, if you have some time left when you finish you can come to build and repair with me.

-travaldo: ok i don't know how much time will pass but i'll help you.

 

-sam: you are doing well liam, but i really need you to wake up.

*silence*

-sam: please things are not doing well.

pip: squeeak.

-sam: oh little pip you'd been so helpful.

*the floor shakes*

-sam: what's happening an asteroid doesn't experiences earthquakes normally.

pip: squeeeeeek squeeeeeeeeeeeek

*arbor trees fall*

-sam: aaah pip come here ¡into the building! ¡into the building!

*the movent slowly stops*

-sam: what was that, this asteroid is more deadly than we thought.

-liam: uuughh *coghs* uuh *vomits* uhh what happened.

-sam: ¡liam!

-liam: uh sam why do i have a horrible fish flavor in my mouth.

-sam: um long story, i need you to build something in here, and maybe we'll need to get out of this place soon.

-liam: um ok.

*the floor shakes again*

-liam: whoaaa.

-sam: oh no it's an aftershock. ¡liam get cover!

*everything calms down again*

-sam: uuuh, ok i doubt this asteroid has some sort of tectonics, uh i'm detecting high levels of radiation near the core.

-liam: ooh look there's a crack in the ground of the ocean biome.

-sam: what, this is not natural it must has been opened by the earthquake, looks like a natural stair that goes deeper into the center of this asteroid.

pip: squeak

-liam: wait pip don't go down there.

-sam: liam don't follow him, oh no here we go.

*everybody follows the pip*

-liam: there you are pip, uh sam you might want to take a look.

-sam: uhh that's not oil this place isn't composed by any carbohydrate, mmm this place is more and more cold the lower we go, i think it's liquid carbon dioxid-

*ground shakes*

*liquid carbon dioxide burst out of cracks*

-liam: oh no, there must be something producing it.

-sam: it must be a geyser, maybe they're are more and are over pressurised,they must be causing the earthquakes ween the carbon dioxide warms up.

*more liquid carbon dioxide fills the place*

-sam: it's time to get out of here right now.

-laim: aaa run, run pip.

*everybody runs up the stairs*

-sam: quick close the hole before the carbon dioxide warms up.

*liam build an insulated tile*

-liam: ugh that was close.

-sam: well another reason to get out of here, let's build a few things to maybe come back here.

-liam: can i bring some pips and arbor corns back.

-sam: uh okay but only pip eggs and arbor corns.
