Engineering kit
Coil spanner battery-signal is not interrupted by jamming-Works
Decoupler works internal power-plasma- hand-held tool used for making adjustments to various pieces of technology.-Works
EJ7 interlock-open close panels was an engineering tool, made up of titanium composites, that was used to access or close panels. Works
Flux coupler-Internal power but signal activator of equipment-Does not work until jamming stops
Focal Adjustment spanner-Internal power spanner-Type of powered wrench-Works
Fundamental field replicator-replicate tools and small equipment-Internal power source-Works
hyper spanner-Internal power source works laser based not signal-Type of powered wrench-Works
Interphasic coil spanner-internal power-used to manipulate things-Type of powered wrench-Works
Magna-spanner-Internal power signal used to manipulate powered machine signals and codes-Does not work until jamming stopped
Magnetic Probe-magnetic signals polarity can be reversed. Shut off or turn things on. Plasma power-Such as a colony power center-Does not work until jamming stopped.
Magneton scanner- Most thorough scanning device-Does not work until jamming stopped
Micro-resonator-A micro-resonator was a tool used to reset relatively small devices. For larger objects, a magneton scanner could accomplish the same task. If can get jamming to stop use these to get machines working again
Micro spanner works internal power-laser type tool
Optronic Coupler- Internal power- was a tool used by Starfleet engineers for repairs of equipment. Laser type power.-Works
Sonic Driver-works with sonic waves battery-Works
Screwdriver/screws-futuristic ones-Works
sub-micron scanner-have signal-type of scanner used as engineering tool used to scan power cells. Does not work until jamming stopped
synchronic meter-scanner signal- diagnostic tool-Does not work until jamming stopped
Trident scanner- repair power relays internal power- Does not work until jamming stopped
wrench-typical wrench-Works

“Right ho! I think we have a plan now,” said Glen. “The two Engineers will stay here with Guy and see if they can work out why some equipment works and some doesn’t. A priority must be to resume communications with the Merri again, so Stella should remain here and help them with that aspect. Lance will also stay and do his ‘Zen’ data crunching and see what that throws up. He also might have an idea on the physical cause of the problem. Troy seems very keen to go underground, so he can show us his rock climbing skills and his spelunking experience. M’Mera with her night vision, and Richard also come along with me and Troy, and Eros, you might as well come too. That evens out the two teams.” Glen thought that it also split up Hunter and Gagnon as he was getting tired of their constant bickering. “Any questions?”

OOC: Okay Dave can you make two Away Team lists on the MOTD. One Tunnels and the other Colony: Engineering listing who’s in which. I think we should have a thread for each of them as well. I will start the threads if you can look after the MOTD. Now just to give a heads up I am leaving on my LOA this Friday and returning the 11th so I will probably put it to the 12th.

OOC: Everyone who is going tunneling has:
Helmet with Headlamp-to protect their heads and provides illumination
Gloves- to protect their hands from sharp objects and rough surfaces.
Multi-tool and knife- useful for various tasks and emergencies.
Emergency whistle
Rations and water
Hunter has that gear plus Climbing Gear - 1x-Harness, ropes, and carabiners for safe descent and ascent, Compass x1.
There is one more Compass if someone else knows how to use it.
There are Torches x4(and batteries) you can decide amongst yourselves who is carrying those.

Key Components of Underground Positioning

Inertial Navigation Systems (INS): These systems use accelerometers and gyroscopes to calculate position changes relative to a known starting point, enabling navigation in GPS-deprived environments.
Wireless Sensor Networks - A network of interconnected sensors that communicate wirelessly to track movement and location underground.
Radio Frequency Identification - tags and readers are used to identify and locate objects or personnel in underground spaces.
Signal Propagation Models- These models help optimize communication and positioning by accounting for signal behavior in complex underground environments.

OOC: The only thing I see working atm is the first one as it relies on accelerometers and gyroscopes and not actual signals. The others all require signals.

I’ve changed the MOTD as requested. The only problem I now see with the two groups is that while it seemed to make sense from the character’s point of view, I now see that Clayton and Andrea are both AWOL. (Not sure if Rusty is ever coming back again.) It means Stella and Ashley will need to step up.

I’m having a medical procedure next week but it shouldn’t mean I’m not still here, as following that I can’t drive and I’ll actually be at home more.

OOC: Was it ever clarified whether or not phasers are working as they are battery powered, too.

That’s a good question!

Also, Marthese, I received your email about the single rope technique to ascend and descend. That sounds fine to me. Why not post it in character here from Hunter?

• Dave

Ohh, my apologies! I missed the question about the phasers! They are more like lasers so yes they would work.
