Mission Log 3 [Video]

[He's taking note of the numbers, and there's something he's noticed.]

We're getting more biologicals. Do we have any numbers on resource usage?

[Like, y'know, clean water and food? Someone's already lived through starvation and does not fancy having another go.]

... Ah. Well. Unfortunately, I believe the only actual organic-suitable soil and water can presently be found within the Haven, in Alpha Trion's quadrant.

[The small smile is definitely apologetic, and Jetfire shrugs slightly.]

Cybertron in general, and this one as well, doesn't actually have anything in the way of suitable environment for organic life, and water usually is either nonexistent or rare.

Either the Lambda needs to drop some edible aquatic creature that could be planted in the lake, or perhaps an animal that could be kept for its meat, or we need to go off-planet for that.

[Sooooooo basically his suggestion. However, he just nodded.]

If we can get a solid plant food source to supplement what the Lambda drops, we should be all right until we can go off-planet to look for meat.

Indeed. Well... I believe there's two already, which isn't a lot, admittedly, but something; the fruit and, unless those small birds one of the human children keeps aren't used for food at all, those as well.

Small birds? Can you describe them?

[Because, well, everything's small compared to you Cybertronians.]

I can probably do a little better than that... [Because honestly, while he might have enough of an image of them from memory, describing them would probably end up not making them sound like chickens...

So here, have the feed briefly showing a zoomed-in-from-above but still perfectly legible image of a few chickens and a rooster.]

That useful enough for you to know what they are?

More than useful enough. Those are chickens. That'll definitely be a help if their owner is willing to trade eggs for other goods.

I unfortunately have no idea who the owner might be, so you might want to inquire about that... otherwise, I'm pleased to have been able to render some assistance.

It definitely gives me a place to start. Thanks.
