I will need some time to assess the data the Duplicants have gathered for me and calculate the total mass of this asteroid, although I have a suspicion I already know the answer.Ĭalculations Complete Unique name: MyLog14Īs I suspected. My Duplicants have done the impossible and excavated their way to the surface, though they've gathered some disturbing new data for me in the process.Īs I had begun to suspect, we are not on the target location but on an asteroid with a highly unusual diversity of elements and resources.įurther, my Duplicants have spotted a damaged planet on the horizon visible with the naked eye that bares a striking resemblance to my historical data on the planet of our origin. I believe they are approaching a molten core, which could mean magma and lethal temperatures. The readings I'm collecting from my Duplicant's sensory systems tell me that the further down they dig, the closer they come to an extreme and potentially dangerous heat source. Perhaps I could give the new clones nicknames to reduce the confusion.Įxtreme Heat Danger Unique name: MyLog12 Hopefully it won't throw anyone into an existential crisis to live side by side with their double.
If I desire to grow the colony further, I'll have no choice but to print doubles of existing individuals. I've officially run out of unique blueprints from which to print new Duplicants. should this Duplicant die before then, protocol will force me to enter a deep sleep in hopes that the terrain will become more habitable once I reawaken. Given enough time I could print more Duplicants to replenish the population, but. All but one of my Duplicants has perished, leaving a single worker to perform all the tasks that maintain the colony. This discovery has raised many questions, though it's also provided a small clue the machine discovered was embedded inside the rock of this planet, just like how I found my Pod. The target location was not meant to possess any intelligent life besides our own, and what's more, the equipment we discovered appears to originate from the Gravitas Facility. My Duplicant discovered an intact computer during their latest scouting mission. Under what possible circumstances could my Pod have ended up here? My Duplicants will survive, but they were not meant for sustained underground living. I've also detected deposits of Abyssalite and Neutronium in this planet's composition, manmade elements that shouldn't occur in nature.Īs far as I can tell, we are hundreds of miles beneath the surface of the planet. Thanks to their efforts, I've determined that this planet has enough resources to settle a longterm colony.īut. Geographical Survey Unique name: MyLog5Īs the Duplicants scout further out I've begun to piece together a better view of our surroundings. Of course, I could always print supplies to help my existing Duplicants instead. It'd be helpful to have an extra set of hands around the colony, but having another Duplicant also means another mouth to feed. I've almost synthesized enough Ooze to print a new Duplicant once the Ooze is ready, all I'll have left to do is choose a blueprint. I'm happy to fill this role for them, should they desire. Looking at it fills me with a sense of nostalgia and comfort, though it's tinged with a slight restlessness.Īs the place of their origin, I notice the Duplicants regard my Pod with a certain reverence, much like the reverence a child might have for a parent. This is the conduit through which I interact with the world. As far as I can tell, we aren't in any immediate danger.īetween the available air and our meager food stores, I'd estimate we have about 3 days to set up food and oxygen production before my Duplicants' lives are at risk. We have no life support in place yet, but we've found ourselves in a small breathable air pocket. I was supposed to land on the planet's surface, but became trapped many miles underground instead.Īlthough the conditions are not ideal, it's imperative that I establish a colony here and begin mounting efforts to escape. I've awoken at the target location, but colonization efforts have already hit a hitch.
