The only thing I'd be worried about is overheating. I'll need about seven buckets filled with large blocks of ice. But yes, it should be able to work.

[the_array_team]

[Vennett makes a face at that. He'd been outside only briefly before deciding .. as much as he was truly and thoroughly grateful to be back on earth? Fuck that cold.]

... And I'm guessin' that is meanin' me.

this icon was made for you

[mathematician]

It's not going to chop itself.

:D :D

[the_array_team]

motherfuckin... y'know one a these days I aint gonna take pity on them noodle arms.

[mathematician]

But today isn't that day.

[And a short time later, a list comes buzzing over. He's clearly had it waiting in the wings:]

FIRST AID
compress dressings
adhesive bandages
adhesive cloth tape
antibiotic packets
antiseptic wipes
aspirins
space blanket(s)
latex gloves
hydrocortisone packets
scissors
roller bandage
sterile gauze
thermometer
tweezers

CLOTHING
Warm socks, hat, mittens, waterproof gloves
Long underwear
Fleece sweaters/pants
Waterproofed jacket/pants
Snow boots
Goggles

MISC GEAR
Sleeping bags/blankets
Shovels
Rechargable batteries/torches
Sterno emergency stoves
MREs
Multitool
Nylon cord
Compass
instant heat hand warmers

LARGE GEAR
Generators (and petrol)
Some other kind of regenerative energy source(? Can't keep running about in time to get petrol)
Space heaters(? Probably more of a drain than they're worth)

Obviously open to editing or additions. I don't have an accurate headcount on how many people are opting to go down versus stay on the moon, but I can't imagine there's many set on the latter. Feeding, clothing and heating three hundred people is going to be like herding cats

[the_array_team]

[Out loud to Lowell] Yeah yeah. Y'owe me a drink after all this shit.

[He pulls up the list, and after scanning it, turns the screen for Lowell to see again.

In the mean time, he types a reply:] Looks fine. Got a few additions myself. Lotta that you'll be able to pick from the same drop point, biggest issue will be quantity, yeah. We'll work out a base set an' go from there.

They got geothermal set up groundside. Gonna have old cranky over here put together a list of shit we'll need for tapping into that. Til then, petrol and propane will do.

[alittlesweptup]

Should I even bother asking for backup on this or is this something you'd rather us on parole just handle quietly?

[mathematician]

I'll be sure to add it to the list of things for their group to pick up for us. Beer, Tequila, Vodka?

[And he means it. Along with, well... a few of his own personal requests. Now it's Lowell's turn to reply back, although since he's more or less just pushed Vennett's hands off the keys, he's still logged into Vennett's account while saying this:]

Don't underestimate yourselves. You're a sneaky lot. I'm sure backup would just slow you down.

[alittlesweptup]

I'm touched you noticed

[mathematician]

This is Lowell now, by the way. I don't want Vennett getting credit for being observational.

[alittlesweptup]

Figures. That old bastard wouldn't know efficiency if it bit him in the arse

[the_array_team]

You WANNA chop ice? That jobs still open like.

[alittlesweptup]

You'd really want to put an ice pick in my hands?

[mathematician]

No, we'd give you only a spoon.

[the_array_team]

Might work up to a fork if ya do good.

[alittlesweptup]

On second thought maybe I'll just stay up in space until all the oxygen on the base runs out

[mathematician]

Don't be a baby.

[alittlesweptup]

I'm not chipping ice for you sods. You'll have to take your drinks well

[mathematician]

It's to keep the Transporter cool for all the traveling you'll be doing. Not for bubbly.

[alittlesweptup]

Well that's less fun

[the_array_team]

Trust me. yer getting the fun job.

[alittlesweptup]

Lovely

Well, work out the details. I'll get the whole gang together and we'll come round tomorrow evening to do the deed
