i never thought i'd see anything uglier than a behemoth but here we are with these grody space animals
even though i don't think anyone has, you probably shouldn't eat them
so if anyone has found any new plant things that we can eat it'd be good to know now
and if these things keep comin into the camp like they have been we'd better get some better defenses up

Do you have any new ideas? It seems like traps aren't effective enough. They help -- I'd hate to see what the situation would be like without them -- but something more would be good.

[klutziness]

what we really need is some kind of automated defense system
like a turret or droids
but unless we can salvage more from the ship & get it working, we're SOL

[ryuuzaki]

Not bad, but it might be overkill, and friendly fire would be a concern. We don't want it to shoot at everything that moves, and systems that would automatically identify targets are probably beyond our capabilities right now.

Someone who was in gunnery might have an idea of where to find exterior artillery. Try Firo at fedoratheexplorer, if he doesn't respond here.

[why must u be practical tho]

maybe we could find a way to have them recognize nanites? it doesn't seem like it would be impossible
thanks i'll do that
how're you holding up?

[ryuuzaki]

I don't even know what day it is.

[This might be a joke. Do any of them?]

About as well as can be expected.

If we could establish differences in body temperature, and if someone can find or create sensors, something thermal could be possible, but there are no guarantees. It would all be predicated on our temperatures being in a consistent range, a low margin of error, and so on.

don't feel bad the only thing i know is that it's not my birthday

body temp might work, unless a lot of these gross mutated animals are warm blooded too
then we'd have more of a problem i think
