Not with a Bang Start and Ongoing
"Good Morning passengers. Today is day seven of the month of Imagination." The voice echoes through the train as passengers wake up in their beds. Not long afterwards their SCA’s glow with the colour of the void and a holographic image will appear.
Preperation
They have about an hour to prepare, a little less than usual but perhaps expected, given the urgency of the task.
The cupboards in the dressing room are open to reveal rows of tents, in all four team colours as well as some basic camp cooking equipment. They are in bags that should be easy enough to carry.
"Shortly arriving on System #6416. All passengers get ready to disembark. Next stop world 6416. Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." The train rocks and lurches, bright colours of the void filling the space and then fading as they fly downwards towards a very green landscape.
Arrival and Initial Task
The train lands in a clearing, curving round in an attempt to fit. Once everyone who wishes to disembark has done it flies back into the air, vanishing from sight.
The air is heavy and humid, though it is not currently raining. The clearing is open to the sky and looking up will reveal a worrying sight. The sky is an angry red colour, colours shifting as if the clouds themselves were on fire. It's an unnerving sight.
Their SCA's show three points, one Orange, One purple and one that is half blue and half red. The three control centres. Each are a few hours treck through the jungle and it certainly feels like there is no time to waste.
Those that don't want to treck through the forest can start setting up camp, though the darkening sky might be a little distracting. As time goes on flecks of fire drift down, though they extinguish before hitting the forest floor.
Orange are to travel to the north, Purple to the south and Blue and Red must travel together to the west. Each route takes them through thick and unrelenting jungle. Flying is difficult here unless you can get up past the canopy layer, which means vision of the ground is severely hampered.
The control stations themselves are half buried in vines and require cutting into. If voidtreckers are unlucky they will meet their first security robots here, firing on the intruders. They might even meet their first giant Armadillos, the creatures are curious and may wish to investigate. They are not helpful or constructive to trying to power up the stations and prevent the destruction of the planet.
The control stations are simple enough to operate, but there's quite a lot that needs to be done in way of repairs and clearing. It will take a team effort to get it in working enough order to activate the shield.
The shield itself, when it is activated, is mostly invisible but there is a loud humming sound. The meteor, which has gotten more visible throughout the five hours, hits the shield and splinters, fire enveloping the whole sky. It is visibly terrifying, but no fire falls to earth, no rocks get through, the planet is safe.
Ongoing
Once the planet is safe the voidtreckers deserve a rest. But once the next morning dawns it is time to start with their next tasks, to make sure that this planet stays safe from future threats.
Red
The robots at the control stations are not the only malfunctioning security robots around. They roam the jungle, or are more often stranded in the jungle, powering up only when faced with a new threat.
Some are benign, terraforming machines whose only crime is using up precious power. These need to be dismantled so that power can be saved for the shield system. Others are security robots that will attack the intruders to the planet.
Though the machines are scattered they are often obvious, emitting warning alarms or flashing lights. Their SCA's will show some areas where there are larger clusters but machines can be found anywhere.
Purple
Their SCA's are filled with hundreds of purple dots, each a solar stations that needs cleared and brought back online. It's not the most glamourous job, the stations are deep in the jungle, the treck is difficult and most of the work needed is weed clearing.
But once the weeds have been cut away they will need to patch up the station, doing basic maintenance to get it back online. In some cases wires need to be patched back together but it shouldn't take any great feats of engineering to get the stations up and running.
They may run into some of the security automatons, needing to fight their way into the stations before they can begin the clean up operations.
Orange
Like the red team their SCA will show areas where there are clusters of the small insectoid automatons that need to be rescued and restored. However they can be found anywhere throughout the jungle, they are not too suited for the terrain outside of the stations and so they have gotten tangled in vines. They can be found powered down, stranded and in dire need of maintenance.
Tools and spare parts can be found in many of the solar stations that purple team have been locating. Actually repairing the robots takes some engineering knowledge but once they are restored they will go about their tasks in the stations. They will need help getting to the further flung stations as well as the main control centres.
They are very basic in design and follow pre programmed instructions rather than being able to hear and listen to orders. But once in the correct place they are very effective at their job.
Blue
Once the shield is up there is a faint humming that can be heard throughout the jungle if they listen closely and find it among the sound of rain and insects. But once they hear it, it is obvious where it is louder and more prominent.
Their SCA will pin point some of the larger control boxes but there are truthfully too many to show on a map. Not all of them have attracted Violet Pandas, but many of them have.
They are curious creatures, both of the power boxes and the voidtreckers. They are protective of each other but not so much of territory and therefore it is not difficult to move them on. Keeping them away is another matter, the power humming is interesting and they will unearth wires and chew through them. It doesn't seem to do them much harm, there is clearly safety stops in the system for such eventualities. It does however cut power off to entire solar stations and require a lot of patch work.
Good luck voidtreckers!

He was pretty sure he was the strange one here. He would, however, put forth the many hours to turn cocoa into chocolate if that was something people wanted, and since he knew at least Gen would want it, it would have to be done.
"You can help me grab those plants too." He pointed at the passionflora. "Those fruit are edible and the plant is medicinal." Senku had no problem putting Roland to work.
no subject
"This one, right here?" He affirms, and moves to cut it close to the stem so that the fruit itself isn't damaged. Cuts a little bit more, to give Senku a good bunch before handing it off carefully to him with a light grip. "What's it called, and what's the medicinal benefit?"
He sheathes his sword and from his Arms Band, he takes out his patented journal. He seems to look ready to write whatever it is Senku is willing to share.
no subject
"Passiflora." Senku answered. "That's what it's called and you can eat the fruit, easily enough which you can guess. The leaves can be dried and made into tea and they give a sedative effect." He hummed. "Traditional medicine."
Did they have a need for sedatives? Maybe, maybe not. That didn't mean they wouldn't.
"These trees-" Senku began, tapping the one he was at, since Roland had his notebook out. "Are cacao trees, and the pods contain cocoa beans. The process to get to chocolate from there involves drying out the beans, they're wrapped in this gooey membrane, and then roasting them, and it continues from there. It's labour intensive."
no subject
"I can't believe we can find things like cacao trees on alien planets." He eventually says, his sketch of the pod almost complete. "Say, what about those blue growths I see from time to time? Pretty sure they're poisonous, right? Is that native to here, or is that on earth too?" The more colorful, the more toxic, when it comes to nature. At least, that's what Roland knows by default.
no subject
"If we're really lucky, we can get hevea brasiliensis, uh, it's a rubber tree." He explained. "That would be a bonus. The substance that comes out of it is latex."
no subject
"Do you need to collect those? The toxic plants around here? I saw a bunch of them walking over. I can cut them with my sword and we can put them in jars."
Or-
"Hold on. Sorry. Did you have a mission objective you're working towards right now? I can help there, too. Just tell me what you need."
no subject
"I was heading to the nearest station to check it out and make necessary repairs." Senku explained, cutting off another pod and vanishing it.
"And no, I don't think we need the toxic plants for anything, I'm not planning on poisoning anyone." He tucked his knife back into his pocket. "You can come help me clear it if you want."
no subject
"Maybe you could teach me a thing or two about the repairs? I'm definitely going to need to do it myself."
no subject
"A lot of machines' insides are very similar, and once you get an idea of what things do, it's easy to recognize it across the board. Everything I've seen here so far is what I'm familiar with."
no subject
Roland asks as he remembers what spy movies taught him.
no subject
He held his arms out wider though. "I'm thinking bigger than that though." Senku said as they walked.
"Those robots get signals from the stations. That means they have parts that can at least receive signals. I don't know if they can send them. But maybe we can reappropriate those parts for a different aim."
no subject
He leads the way if only to keep their path clear from danger.
"Good call. Anything I should be looking out for when I hack and slash?"
no subject
He hummed thoughtfully. "I think there's a lot of things to collect, as usual." He grinned. "Good thing I have the arms band. We'll take a stock of everything before we get back on the train."
That was his plan, anyway.
no subject
Meanwhile, he continues to act as Senku's arms and shield, hacking away when branches and leaves and vines block their path. Or if he notices anything unusual that might lead to stray robots.
