    The great Autonomous Drone Carrier Radiant Dawn lies obscured, reduced to a single side wing visible amidst the planetary terrain. The entirety of its main body, including command units and material reserves, rests buried within the planet, entombed beneath layers of bedrock. The sheer force of the crash should have transformed the entire planet into an inhospitable wasteland, obliterating the Radiant Dawn in the process. However, what meets the eye is a surprising sight – the visible wing remains reasonably intact, shrouded in mystery.

    Above the treeline, the accessible side wing becomes a beacon of good luck even in the great misfortune of the crash. Within its confines, a functional emergency reactor provides a vital lifeline, complemented by a modest reserve of SAKRU and a substantial assembly of Crab Drones.

    Rows upon rows of these multifunctional Crabs stand in orderly arrays on shelves, remnants of a time when they executed a myriad of secondary functions for the fully functional carrier. Now, sustained only by the sporadic output of an emergency reactor not designed for long-term use, they lack advanced units and a guiding strategy. But all of this adversity is certainly not going to stop you!

    Wood: 1
    SAKRU: 5

    Crabs: Enough
    Map:



    Surrounding Forest
    - Radiant Dawn Crashsite (House)​
    - Scrap
    ​
    Grey Cell: Undiscovered


    Each player will control a Crab fully supplied with power by the fluctuating production of the emergency reactor. This electricity production will not leave any spare capacity, nor will a new player be unable to activate a crab.

    Each player may join or leave the quest as you desire, playing simply involves choosing the action you want to carry out. There are no player specific inventories - all resources will be shared by default, though you are free to establish a system of private ownership.


    Choose an action to carry out:

    [] Investigate Reactor
    A single reactor is all that ensures the Crabs stay functional, checking on it may be valuable

    [] Explore the Radiant Dawn
    Only a cursory look into the state of the Radiant Dawn has been carried out yet

    [] Collect Scrap (Radiant Dawn)
    While the Radiant Dawn has miraculously survived, there are still pieces of it strewn around the Crash Site

    [] Explore Surrounding Forest
    The forest surrounding the Crash Site is a complete unknown. Investigating it for opportunity and dangers may be worthwhile.

    [] Collect Wood (Surrounding Forest)
    While there are no tools to cut down trees, there are still loose sticks, deadwood and

    [] Transmute ARK (ANY materia, including Write-Ins)
    Though the process is irreversible, programming a unit of Sakru to transmute into some kind of material may be worth the loss in flexibility.

    [] Write-in Action
    The world is vast and the possibilities endless... branching out with a less conventional action may allow you to fix important oversights or spend your time chasing shadows.

    Yeah it sounds like a big ship so having more people on this makes sense. I'm probably going to focus on information gathering in general.
