If blue team made us some poisons to use as weapons and traps, do you think you could help make ways to deliver them? We have large animals on this planet that could better be slowed with ways to deliver it, and if we uses poisons rather than fire for traps we make less of a fire risk around the perimeter of the camp.
[And if they use wood for the fence, that's a good thing.]

Also Dr. Arbuckal said that they have materials that could be used for arrows if we are running low. With no supply drops, this could be important. I have been retrieving my CDC ones from things I shoot down, but I don't know if everyone has.

It's an issue. I've been making grenatki of my own to replace the sheer volume I've lost these last few weeks. I don't expect things to get any easier here.

What materials did you have in mind for arrows? There are a few options, I suppose.
[ And now the part that really interests him. ]
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
As for poisons. There would be risks, depending on what we do. The easiest option would likely be the release of pressurised gas, but that would have obvious health risks for our people.

A spiked device might work, if we're thinking about animals. Something that would perform similarly to a snake bite. What poisons do you have in mind?
I can ask him about this, too. I believe it is within capacity of blue team. There will be plenty of fallen wood, so that is a start. Not much makes many bolts.

Should I bring it up to everyone once camp is settled? As nice as guns are, wasting our remaining bullets at this point, especially before the machine starts to go off, is a bad idea.

The idea of using poison. I don't suppose you ran it by the Instructors? We'd want clearance for weapons like that, especially after what happened on the ship.
[ Everyone had been accidentally poisoned. The last thing Sturmhond would want to do is recreate that scene. If they're going to do this, they need to go about it in the right way. ]
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
I'd like to ask Mothership about spare needles, anyway. For the traps in particular, we're going to need them.
I ran it by Armada a while ago. Before we did our mapping. I wasn't just looking out for the edible plants, I was looking out for the poisonous ones so I could follow up. But I will ask mothership.
All right. I'll start working on what I can, in the meantime. If there's anything else that you need, please come to me. I'd like to do whatever I can do help.

I daresay. But materials are not easy to come by, and the same kind would make more arrows as well.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
I'd want to be sure the venom was effective on them before committing to large numbers. Could we find a way to test it?

Let's see if it's a practical option first.

[Eventually. In a few days.]

All right. Well then, I'm happy to help. Am I right in thinking the traps you have in mind are for the camp perimeter?
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
The darts would be a simpler matter. As soon as we have enough materials, I can start on them.

Of course. It's a good idea. Adrien and I have been interested in how poison could be used for a while now. I'd like to employ it.

We do need to be prepared. There's no doubt about that.
