Idiotic. Stupid. Deranged. All of those words, and more, have been used to describe this mission. Both by you, by your superiors, and by the public. But with humans now spread throughout the galaxy the idea of planets being cut off from each other is not one that is appealing at all. Without intergalactic travel, people will die. The quality of life will go down. The entire fleet will be out of jobs. It’s bad news all around. So getting Cyrstlium is a must. Where the first two missions were failure, this one cannot afford to be. If the fleet could they would send a whole fleet of ships to the planet. But there simply isn’t enough Crystlium to do it. And so it is this fleet that is stuck making the journey.
The time in space has been productive, if tense. The odds aren’t good. But you are all as prepared as you can be. And now, soon, you will be making contact on the planet. And for the first, but certainly not last, time the crew looks to Alan T, your Captain, for guidance. You have two choices. You may enter where atmospheric conditions make it likely that your ship will not sustain much damage, but which scans show to have high levels of spawn activity, or you may enter where the atmosphere will not treat your ship well, but where there has been little sign of Spawn life.
It is now Night 0. Alan should PM his decision to me and Day 1 will start tomorrow morning. Please feel free to ask questions about your role or the rules.
