Sir, Do they have any idea how it was undetected until so late
?
Cpt H Crow — 01/30/2024 9:15 PM
Most likely it came in from an angle they weren’t watching.
They reported to us that their plantary defenses were undergoing a diagnostic.
Lt. K’Naut, Chief Engineer — 01/30/2024 9:16 PM
Sounds like they might need dust mitigation ::conspicuously not looking at Statzia::
Cpt H Crow — 01/30/2024 9:16 PM

Ouch.
Cpt H Crow — 01/30/2024 9:17 PM
Yes Chief. That, along with replicator tech so they can make both food and water but also clothing and such for what will be very harsh winters.
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — 01/30/2024 9:17 PM
What’s the expected agricultural impact?
Lt. K’Naut, Chief Engineer — 01/30/2024 9:17 PM
What about seismic activity at the site of impact?
Cpt H Crow — 01/30/2024 9:18 PM
Seismic activity was about what you’d expect. What quakes they had didn’t have anyone to affect once that impact happened.
Lt Commander Constance Stewart — 01/30/2024 9:18 PM
do they know how to use a replicator they will also need soil thats good for planting crops

We can put together a few industrial replicators. ::still not looking at Statzia::
Cpt H Crow — 01/30/2024 9:19 PM
They do know how to use the technology and another ship is bringing in soil and will be building them greenhouses.
Lt Commander Constance Stewart — 01/30/2024 9:20 PM

Lt Kerwen Nuhl-Helm — 01/30/2024 9:20 PM
And how?
Lt. K’Naut, Chief Engineer — 01/30/2024 9:20 PM
It will take time. We have limited capacity for large replication.
Cpt H Crow — 01/30/2024 9:21 PM
Okay so when we go down, everyone will be wearing a respirator. Chief, I want you, Stewart, and Statzia to help organize the industrial replicators. Nuhl, the Counselor and I will deal with the standard variety.
