UCSS ADAMANT exploration

Player Name: Inky, Em
Character(s) Involved: Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes
Plot Tier: Request (UCSS Adamant Exploration)
Dates: 1 - 2 IC days incl travel time, early June (if they have to camp out in the wreckage for a night in order to complete the objective, they'll endure)

Plot Description: Following Steve and Nat's initial exploration of the UCSS Adamant, Sam and Bucky have a mind to follow up. They've gained information on the partial map Steve and Nat discovered on the comms panel. The goal of this expedition is to follow the blue markers to explore in the direction of medical, see how much progress can be made in that direction, with the intent being to salvage supplies for the aid station or, if they don't get far enough for that to be viable, at least clear/prep the way for future explorations.

Between the two of them they're bringing the following assets to this endeavor:
- Superstrength, -speed and -hearing (Bucky)
- Jetpack fuelled flight (Sam)
- acid resistant vibranium shield/wings (Sam) and arm (Bucky)
- Medical training to aid in identifying things worth salvaging if they get that far (Sam, but Bucky knows his way around that stuff with reasonable expertise, too)
- Drones: Redwing as a recon drone will be sent to scout ahead to hopefully identify a viable route through the Adamant/make Sam and Bucky aware of any obstacles on the way. Redwing is also equipped with a high powered laser that can cut through steel (with some time/effort), and scan the environment. Buckabee (the mini drone that can detach from Redwing) has no further abilities, but both drones generate enough thrust to lift/push/carry weights somewhere between a grown man and a bulletproof truck filled with 6 hostages, should that be relevant for debris clearing in addition to Bucky and Sam.

Result/Questions:

Sam and Bucky are successful in paving the way for future explorations and in bringing back a few important items for the aid station, for which Doctor Hyacinth will be deeply grateful!

1. will it be possible for them to borrow some first-aid material from the aid station? Sam's been putting in a lot of work there and went on the fetch quest in the hatching log, should that have earned him some goodwill. He will also inform Dr. Hyacinth that his intention is to secure more supplies for the aid station and/or ease access to the Adamant's medical area for the future - he'll be transparent with her. The first-aid kit is only in case him and Bucky run into trouble, and will be returned in full should it not be needed, of course.

In thanks for his help with the injuries following the rat warrens mission, Sam is welcome to borrow items from the aid station. The first aid kit will be lost over the course of his mission with Bucky — either due to acid rain or falling down a dangerous hole in the ruined ship — but the items they bring back will more than make up for it. (See question 4 for more details.)



2. same question for weapons/equipment. if at all possible, Sam would like to borrow one gun for the exploration, and he'll be transparent about his goals for the exploration regarding medical and the aid station. If a shield can be spared in addition, he'd be grateful for that too. His intention is to outfit Bucky with both, but considering how Rémi and Bucky's first meeting went, Sam is absolutely not going to mention Bucky by name or description and will not bring him along to make that request. He is NOT going to mention that Redwing doubles as a combat drone to Rémi, either. If Rémi is not comfortable sharing either a gun or an acid shield, Sam is not gonna press the point and will use his vibranium shield and wings to make due should Bucky and him get caught in the acid rain.

Sam will not be permitted to borrow a gun or rain shield unless he brings one of Rémi's security officers with to use it — Rémi heard about the interesting attributes of his vibranium shield as related to the acid rain after the rat warrens mission!

3. can Redwing interface with the damaged comms panel on the Adamant to pull a read on the map? Sam's not gonna spend a lot of time on that - if it's an easy pull, he'll be happy to do it, if not, he'll leave that be for now, and prioritize getting to medical.

Redwing will not be able to interface with the tech of the Adamant easily, but having encountered it on this mission, he can feasibly be considered 'familiar' with it for future plots. This means if you want to run a mission where the goal is to get familiar with the Adamant's systems, that's doable, but it would require Adamant engineers and tech friends on board, as Redwing would be hacking into all their systems.

4. how far into medical can Sam and Bucky traverse, what if anything can they salvage, and what if anything do they need to clear on the way there?

Since Sam is a medical professional, he'll have the knowledge and awareness to prioritize the types of medical supplies that are especially scarce — donor blood and antibiotics, for instance. They won't have long (or the carrying capacity) to get much more than that. If you would like something specific that isn't factored in there, please let us know!

5. if Redwing is unable to pull the map from the comms panel: would it be possible for Redwing to record/scan the duo's path through the ship to start a rudimentary digital map of the area Sam and Bucky manage to traverse, to hopefully be built upon in the future?

Redwing can absolutely develop a schematic of the Adamant's interior from the entrypoint they use to the medical wing. This will be useful for future supply runs for medical, and they could feasibly bring more people next time to haul more items.

6. is there anything else of note Redwing's sensors/scanners would pick up throughout the path to medical?

There aren't many exciting details of note in the medical wing. However, Redwing might notice that some of their important equipment (CAT-scanner, MRI, stuff like that) clearly got damaged in the crash.

7. are there any questionable surfaces and/or liquid leaks that Bucky and Sam can dare each other to lick? they won't be stupid enough to actually do it, but it's important to know how much shit these two halves of one whole idiot are gonna give each other on the way.

Bucky and Sam will find a number of broken lines and spilled fluids that make questionable puddles on counters and floors. The Adamant's doors used hydraulic systems, and medical runs lines through the wall for common drugs & water. Please contact poison control if you consume hydraulic fluid.
