Though the colonists are still hungry, their mood holds steady. However, they should have enough food now to go back on full rations. About time, too!
The colonists decide to dedicate one of the algae tanks to producing plasticarbon. It will generate 5 plasticarbon every turn.
Mio starts to jury-rig the solar panel. It won't take long to get it working, though it might not take long for it to stop working again, either.
New Project: Quickly repair solar panel (1 Turn)
The biologist and the geologist radio back to the colony. They're doing okay, but they're having a hard time cutting or melting through the ice to whatever's underneath. They'll have to stay out there for at least a little while longer.
The archivist, who's been taking records of the colonists' actions and minding their data logs, announces that they've found some discrepancies in the sensor data for algae tank A: Some of the record IDs are non-contiguous, and the timestamps don't match up properly, either. They recommend that tank be taken offline for a turn so it can be inspected for faults - or worse, tampering. The other colonists aren't thrilled with the idea. They're sick of being on half-rations and they don't want to halt food production now that they can finally fill their bellies again. If they do shut off the tank, it won't be good for morale. Maybe there's something else they can do to address this problem? Or maybe if they ignore it, it will go away?
The colonists adopt the abstract pastel circles as their flag. Shiva insists they put up a flag pole as soon as they can spare the 1 plasticarbon needed to create it.
Food Consumed: 5 Units
Food Generated: 12 Units
Total Remaining Food: 15 Units (+7)
(Food tallies will go inside THE NUMBERS from now on, since food production is less of an urgent issue. For the moment.)
