Your new colony is best equipped for scientific discovery. All of its 10 members are highly trained and have scientific backgrounds, but four of them in particular are experts in the fields of biology, geology, medicine, and engineering. One of them is also a notable artist, and another, a master archivist.
After a long but uneventful journey, the ship arrives and jettisons its crew and cargo to the surface of what has, until now, been called "ASTEROID BM-720861i-809". (That's a bit of a mouthful, though. You can rename it if you'd like!) The prefab shelters are quickly set up by the skilled colonists, and the other equipment unpacked.

STRIKE THE EARTH!
...oh, but what now? Well, you have two drones: 1 Construction Drone, and 1 Compact Scouting Drone. The construction drone can use plasticarbon to build structures. The scouting drone is best used to look around the surface of the asteroid and push back the FOG-OF-WAR, and it can also do an up-close analysis of anything that seems interesting, or even take samples.
If you issue orders to the drones, your colonists will control them from the landing module, which is currently the location of your only signal antenna.
Your 10 colonists consume 1 unit of food apiece every turn. You have 20 units of food in storage, and your algae tank can produce 4 units of food every turn.
THE NUMBERS:
