#They'll start charging us for oxygen next

[the-earthalien]

The fact that we're floating on a giant space rock meant to nourish and sustain us, but a group of greedy, overgrown apes decided they could own shit, and then everyone went along with it, so now I have to slave away somehow just to earn the right to live.

And it ain't even allat.

[carionto]

Someone has to clean up our messes...

George Rhoedigher and his team had the most unenviable of jobs - investigating, reporting, and cleaning up (in legalese) any "oopsies" Humanity "accidented". Barely over a year among the star civilizations and our rap sheet is longer than some million year old empires. Good job us.

This latest incident he's been dispatched to is the biggest yet - a whole planet-wide fire. In a sense, also the simplest and most straightforward - three dinosaur lunes shot lasers at an oxygen overabundant planet and then logic caught up.

The problem George has with any of these is that he has to try to make it less damning in the eyes of the Coalition. If he and fellow investigator-lawyers just reported the facts as is, Humans doing science outside Sol would be banned in a heartbeat, which the Government is very insistent we retain the ability to do, without utilizing our superior fleets. We'd rather avoid outright becoming the "Bad Guys" if we can, "Crazy Deathworlders" is enough.

Anyway, planet Ramforinkus was pure ash on the surface and what's left of the atmosphere was toxic as hell. Supposedly there's still plenty of bio activity below ground, so it should recover in some form or fashion over time, but still, the before and after images are grim - lush, clear green and blue, now hazy gray and brown.

The statements from the three scientists in charge aren't helpful either:

Everie Jackobson: "I was working on reversing the evolutionary tree of these peacocks, I'm pretty sure they'll become pterodactyls if I push them the right way! Hmm? So what if it caught fire again, it does that all the time. [George points him to the view port] Oh, that's a bit more than normal. Anyway... [George leaves after a minute of Everie rambling to himself]"

Henrietta Fink: "There comes a time when life must adapt to its surroundings. But this damned planet kept changing its environment all the time, none of my babies could survive the swift changes in air composition! I asked Gieverne to help me figure out a way to stabilize the planet."

Gieverne Drostierne: "At first I misted an area with a mutating chemical compound to get the plants to produce less Oxygen, but the change didn't last more than a generation, so I did the next best thing: injected a genetic catalyst into a swarm of flying ants we keep around and let loose several colonies around the planet.

For whatever reason, the ants instead mutated [George visibly shudders hearing about mutant ants again] and started replacing the flora of the planet. Look, I even got a few queens before torching the planet and seeding it with the original flora. The ants turned green and have little leaves just behind their wings and can theoretically survive perpetually anywhere with a bit of air! Look at those leaves flap, ain't they cute?"

...

George sighs. Getting the truth is always pretty easy from these science folk, but it's always something blatantly stupid like that. He's gonna have to do some serious mental gymnastics to make this incident not be another clear-cut example of "Irrefutable Proof Humans Are Not Allowed To Do Science Anywhere!"

Hmm... In cases like these the best way around fines and sanctions is to provide results that arise from these "accidents". What researches take via creating the most catastrophic disasters, they give back through thorough data recording and analysis for practical applications.

Here's hoping there's enough Aliens who are as big fans of dinosaurs as many Humans are.

[ LETHAL COMPANY AU / OPEN STARTER ]

Your muse finds themselves on a small ship, wearing a heavy radiation + space suit and a two oxygen tanks. They, along with Pete, Eisuke, and Nathan, have to recover scrap from other planets to meet the two day quota. However, each planet they visit has its own series of creatures that threaten the safety of the crew.

If your crew doesn't survive the planet or meet the quota, everyone will be FIRED.

Crews arrive at their destination at 8am, and MUST be back before 12am. The ship will leave automatically, leaving anyone on the ground behind. Each reply from me will include a time indicator.

Actions may have severe consequences, this may include critical injuries or DEATH. If your muse is able to die and that might affect your muses lore, do not consider these threads as "canon". It's just for fun teehee

Muses can be revived permitted their body is returned to the ship before departure. Bodies not rescued from the facilities or moon are left behind and thus- cannot be revived.

You can only visit one moon a day. Choose carefully.

Each scrap item will have a value (V) and weight (W) written in brackets. You cannot carry more than 75 weight.

Every muse will have a walkie-talkie and a flash light.

No overpowered muses. This really means- no muses that can't get injured by different creatures.

-----|||||-----

[ DAY 1 | Moon: 71:Gordion | Time: 0000 | Remaining: 300 ]

The crew had just boarded their ship, having made a delivery to the company. They'd barely scraped the quota, having unfortunately lost their longest serving crew mate on their last moon. While the loss hit the crew hard, they knew they had little time to recover.

They'd just been given a new set of instructions and a brand new quota to meet. Luckily, they'd also been given a new crew mate, someone no one had met before. Timidly, the trio greet their new crew mate before returning to their pre-departure duties.

"Yoo, what is hell is that quota?" Speaks Eisuke, pointing at the board above the radar. He tilts his head to the right a little bit, allowing his only eye to view the quota board with ease. "300 buckaroos? They expect us to recover that much in two days? That's insane."

Nathan, who's spending his time charging the flashlights and walkie-talkies, turns to look towards Eisuke. 300 is a staggering amount to bring back to the ship, especially since most scrap only averages approximately 5 to 15 bucks. He's quite shocked that this is their next quota.

"Look, we'll go to an easier moon first. Where the weather looks nicer." Nathan speaks up. "We can get started slowly and help our new crew mate learn the ropes." He gestures to the new crew mate, smiling warmly at them.

In the back of the ship is Pete. Who is analysing everything on their systems. He's studying the different creatures they've encountered and the different moons they've been to.

"If we do that, then we may not reach our quota at all." Pete speaks with a grumble in his voice as he turns to look at their new crew mate. "Let me read a list of the moons available, then our newbie can decide where we go." Pete leans against the computer terminal, scrolling through the list of moons they can travel to.

"We have:

[ 41: Experimentation / Level: B ] (Easiest)

Abandoned. With an arid environment paired with a thick haze. Notably home to the Bunker Spider and Hoarder Bugs.

[ 21: Offence / Level: B ] (Medium)

Abandoned. With a rough environment that supports highly aggressive creatures.

[ 85: Rend / Level: A ] (Hardest)

No one has ever lived here. It's a frozen wasteland. Unlikely for life to exist... which makes it highly unlikely we'd live."

"So." Pete finishes speaking, folding his arms as he turns to look at his new crew mate. "Where do you want to go?" The crew look curiously, nervous to find out what choice they'll make.

[the-firebird69]

We also have a problem with Dave AKA Dan. And we're going to kill them.

-this place is going to be busted at the seams today the pseudo empire is moving out they don't have any more time for these and they also cannot keep indulging in messing around with them to get them to do stuff and they said it too it takes way too long we have like 10 teams get something to get out of the way or do something else they're going to start pulling them in and these people will leave it's annoying as hell what they're doing and the dumb bastards are going to get killed and they really should

-there's a couple other items along with the tunnels they're doing work here in Florida and building factories and those factories are the main purpose is to retrofit the small spaceships and it's going to be a nightmare these people here still can't get the message but yeah we don't want you here or over here I can't figure out why now they know it but they're sitting there resisting silently or something and they're getting butchers and they're getting hauled away to the furnace and doing nothing

-and this is more happening and it is pretty big these guys are sitting around and they're not fighting much and they're not fighting the pseudo empire there's sitting here being assholes to everybody. So the road to hell and not knowing it and a lot of people hate them for it and are going to go after them

-there's a couple other things happening this Sunday is healed a little it's because of oxygen and there's a bunch of it last night it was around 23 here and he did heal up a little and he's admitted it now it's good also he's having some other problems he has some scabbing areas and he has a blood vessel that does not want to go away he doesn't know what to do and we know it will heal and fall off and until then it's so pain in the ass so we are monitoring what's going on here and these two idiots are doing tons of dumb stuff like that so getting rid of his people yesterday and we noticed it gets better and there are people having them do it that are here we decided to go after both and I made a big stenk but we don't care and we know who it is and they're actually paying for it now. Well they don't like it and say that we turned on them and stuff like that and that they're in charge here and started fight between us and some good thing we needed it so we're out there and having a little fight with them and we took out a few units as macs. It's at American did nothing since I've got a few more and we are going to stay in the rings and they're not going to have a lot of power here because we are going to take them over the macs and the forgieners are too. And yeah it's going to be constant fighting in and over the rings mostly forgers and Max will be fighting heavy and the pseudo empire is getting pushed out right now they're not in a lot of the rings from 17 all the way to 5 so they've been pushed out. other development occurring

-there seems to be a lot of fighting going on here and it's increasing not decreasing it's between the pseudo empire and the idiots mostly and DJ a little with Trump but most of the pseudo empire is trying to get up and they are not stopping was there a vulgar attacks it really they're attacking these people was was thoughts and psychic stuff and dumb routines and these guys are figuring it out saying is you idiots right here you're such a pest we will not get him a vehicle and we will not get a money and all the s*** coming out of them cuz they roll this area soon enough these idiots will be evacuated just like we said they'll do the project to leave and we don't want you near a sudden you're a bunch of thing it is freaking idiots and we don't need any scabs thank you very much we have to get you out of here it leads us to the next thing

-it's going to be a short day today for some people here they're going to leave they are told to leave now you're going to these Giants with a suspect they are to see what the hell people are talking about and why there are people with huge beams coming out of their face and we are going to monitor them and see what they're doing usually they tell them to leave it alone but now they're probably going out there to try and have some grab lesser Giants and that's what we hear and it's a method and he would have somebody he warned us about it and now it is there but the other way they're not friends our son and daughter are our friends so there going to go out there and they will get lost thankfully and they're going to stay there for a little hopefully more than an hour and see when people have found out what they hear on the radio is amazing to them so amazing they feel they have to go see it. There's a couple other things

-this a fight between these women and it's over our son and it's beginning to be vicious and they look stupid because of it a lot of them are feeling upset because of it and now they're not they feel mean and angry and it is across the clean lines and it's hard to change now probably get a little worse and people know about that getting worse part and it started to heat up whenever we say he's going to grow and start getting involved with it and we see it too and we know what it is and we're getting ready to help him heal up and so on be a lot easier

-there are a couple more things fighting between these two parties it's going to intensify here today as they try and take over the sheriff's office and please and it's about damn time we waited a long time for this to happen no we're working at it but really it used to happen years ago and needed to happen they would have stopped all this nonsense is it hospital and a bunch of drugs saying that they used it and I used it and you used it and they're both taking a powder it's a good morning I'll do it that way and we do have a heads up and it did help and there's a couple of things

-her son and daughter are under duress I mean that they are having a little bit of a fight here that we need to help out with and right now a couple things today and a couple things are very just concerning here the way they're treated him and what they're doing we need to look at it closer we need to stop it means people are getting tortured and he's getting tortured others of hours are getting tortured they cannot a lot because it's torture

-we are aware of the torture and we're attempting to stop them all the time we need to figure it bigger units and we're working on that in the meantime we're speeding up and we're going to take them down this is tiring and we need to break with the Giants and we see that we have to do that without them getting drawn off and right now for a multitude of reasons nuada Arianna say

-and we have a few gift packages coming they called that it's really the stuff you ordered and today is the tire and they want to tire him out by having him change a tire that's ridiculous it's not really that hard and yeah he's going to have a lot of tires here it's a few more things

-they're competing about the purchase of the old tires and people see it it's a fighting and that's what they're calling it cuz that's what it is and they're fighting pretty hard so we are going to help out with the fight and we'll see about it because what we mean is we don't necessarily need him to sell them right away some of them you can keep but really they're clutter and we want them out so there's that and there are things that are associated meaning if he sells these I get some money at this time people are paying attention and they'll see that stuff and we're getting ready like I think we need to see it I am running a program and we have a schedule but it's being mentioned

-do we do have a couple of things to talk about with one of them is that he needs some change pretty bad and she does too but she's got it all planned out and we have planned it for her as well it is going pretty good then she has a schedule and hope is to what day and things like that and it is definitely coming up and she definitely knows about it and there's a definite time table and this is going to work she says she loves it and it's great and she knew about it and he says don't give me s*** like that and she should have learned and she said no no chance he's coming up against it it has to submit yeah but okay we're helping make that happen and she's not backing off on a couple points but really they're agreeing and they're going forward with it with us and it's their dream too and they're making it a reality as well we have a lot going on today we have a huge item to wor k out with this apartment situation they are threatened by everybody to try and move them out and try and transfer to our friend and doesn't do anything it never really does but yet they keep trying that's the problem. But this plan is going ahead and Hera is set with it so is a sign but she's happy with the timing and we are going to print soon

Thor Freya

Okay so he's saying stuff like just need to listen things and I'm helping you say things that it sounds like it's meaningless or he's angry because I'm pretending I'm there and it's the job it's hard. He says not for me and I said shut up you jerk. It's a joke because they say that's a bit harsh they start arguing yeah it keeps people happy this Max so we are going into a stage here which is helping me with my mind and it's going to make things better he says it's tough what he's saying and thinking it's a little different sometimes over the past few days and what I'm hearing and I can hear him and I hear struggling with it and it is because it's very big and his announcements are huge and it affects a lot of people and Tommy f and the foreigners all of that is very big in the max are affected and they didn't expect it and that that's going on and I appreciate all that I'm okay I'm feeling okay and good and it's going along good I'm going to get out and I know what you're saying it's still another planet and I I feel that but I feel a lot less anger and hatred because I was kidding very angry at these people my situation is not getting better and I'm blaming them and I played them for some things there to blame for but really it's these Max and Trump is lost he's going to be gone because he got sick and people did not help him and just making it worse so we have all the stuff going on and I just want to thank Thor and Freya and Olympus and my best friend and my husband and my love Zeus and he says thank you

Hera

We also take you to you Hera and this is great.

Thor Freya

We say it as well and we're going to print and we'll get more out there

Olympus

[the-firebird69]

It was a lot going on Hera is busy she's working here and he had to do it that way so we're telling her and she gets it and she wants to do her car business and he says the one that is a winner is go karts they're not really go karts it's an off-road vehicle and it is a kit for enclosures and light armor so she's picking it up and says why and he says volume and that's what we need he's moving on now cuz the idiots couldn't figure it out. Also when using our name it makes it move along without Even trying they like that think we're not keeping up with it.

-tons and tons of people here with our son is saying and acknowledge it's correct we are now going to war with these people for real they want everything now and they're threatening for the kid for the go-karts and testing it and we are

-other things in the news and global arena we have several people who are going on trial for treason and they're in the neighborhood one of them is John remillard as his Trump character and they mentioned it today it was the max and the pseudo empire didn't meet on it they're going at the same speed. They really mean it too they plan to and bja and like the whole bunch

-there's a series of incidents here and we are putting it all together and we're going to charge them with crimes actually hand off to the pseudo empire and they're going to charge these people with crimes and those crimes are against our son and they will be put in jail we don't want them around him that's going to happen today

-other items are he doesn't have any money and we're working very hard on it it doesn't seem it he's trapped in there and we're going to turn it up and make sure that he can see it there are people that don't believe us and we have to tell you if your hours you have to check into it and make sure you know we are doing things and need other people to sign on if you're curious and want to sign on please too I am accepting all of ours all races for this duty it's a wonderful job and it will help you if your case is solved or you're getting money with the case can move on to next one or take your skills to your people and use them there and we have satellite offices globally

-he is coming up to a point where he will need funding his body is going to start growing within the next few months possibly and I calculated it because he's eating a lot of oranges no it's because of oxygen levels that are going to increase it will destroy the medicine before it gets to his gallbladder and it will make a difference. And we need to acknowledge that. And I'm going to set it up in a meeting and we have several cases that are coming up that are actually going to go to court I have submitted papers last week to Utah and it was salt lake City not Park City they did not respond in a timely manner and they let the notice laps and they had a couple extra days and we did not notify them no we did we sent them a letter as a reminder and we have that documented too improves are just not trying to stick it to them and they said no that's okay so we sent it back today we'll send it special courier you can take us to mail though if you want and it is going there quite rapidly and then moments they'll have it and it says we are taking it to court because you're blocking him from having his rifle air money and it is today and it will be submitted shortly it's a little bit early right now and tons of people are going to go there and be a problem and they'll be removed. The max are not resisting nor are the foreigners. Several other lawsuits we are submitting for him and other

-what is we are going to send letters to several Banks and in clusters the areas that they're in and it will be a unique find who says and enlightening and we do get that we know that some of these morons travel everywhere. The bank of Boston is not the first it would be last and it will be a huge adventure because these people are such turds and toads about it but once again the Max and foreigners are not objecting and they're going to support what happens meaning they're going to go after these people they took a lot of money and still have it and this is going to be a huge event they'll get crushed and they'll start trying to steal our son's cash and they'll lose and their pigs okay to his face their animals that are gross he says it's worse things and there are but there are naps when it comes to helping him and we don't need it

Several lawsuits have developed because of this behavior and because of absolute denial of his funds we are going to sue the people working at the bank who denied him and we're going to sue them after we send letters if they do not send him the funds or open the account for him we are going to go to court and then press criminal charges and on the whole lot because they'll turn evidence and will drag you down and you're about the right size I heard from Olympus and I got the green light and we have to establish a paper trail we don't expect any of them to just hand it over and it has to do with you're the ones who are holding it which is the duty that you now accept

-along with lawsuits regarding his money we have other things that you're not paying him for social security on his Kia claim and that was for a new motor and other that's about four or $5,000 alone and overcharging him and overfilling him amounts to a few thousand dollars including straight talk double billing, and also your credit card interest on all of them and Bank interest was not high enough as stated and you were sometimes taking money and we see charges and there's only a few that's not much money but we will go after it and use it there's also some big items that you made him buy and you didn't have to in your sabotage things and you were withholding money and he could have had an invested and you're taking investments and not really taking but you're holding them and we're going to force you to hand them over and storm Western development and we're going to send letters shortly this week or next and you'll all be astounded and shocked and if you don't pay you'll be horrified everything of yours will be taken from you in front of your eyes we're going to tow away all of your stuff and for a few thousand dollars. We're also going to sue for pain and suffering and much more but really because of what you did to his family and bja and Ellie infiltrated and what you did to his grandmother is horrible and we're going to sue for that and we're going to win money lots of it and we're going to sue you for all the inventions that you took and businesses business ideas and you didn't pay for and He suggests starting with the design fee and fees for the idea and we agree if you push it further we go after your jugular we're going to print now

Bitol and Goddess Wife

He says he typed out the name because what I said is very clear concise and well put and he knew I was waiting but he wanted to hear from me and I love it

We both wanted to hear and we need to light him up and I do enjoy it because he has wondering eyes sometimes even though he needs it to do things because of them it's really not right
