Location: C10 - Marden Tags: Land Vehicle Kawashita Engineer's Log - AC - C10 Marden We've returned to Marden to test out a new scout vehicle of sorts. Lloyd sent me files through showing his ideas for a basic surveying vehicle that should work well through the snow, so I approved his project. He's now completed work on it, but I haven't had time to see it until now due to a load of paperwork. I always hated the admin side of being a sub contractor, but it could be worse I suppose. Anyway, Lloyd's finished his project now and where better to test it than Marden's snow plains. The design looks a bit bulky and not particularly subtle, but I'm sure the design can be refined at some point. As you can see, the design of the wheels allows it great manouverability through the snow and the nose on the front houses an all manner of sensor arrays so it can sniff out pretty much anything. If calibrated correctly, it could find a needle in a haystack. I don't see many haystacks on Marden in this snow... and finding a needle isn't exactly a priority either... Bonus content in the spoiler because I found the idea funny;

Location: C10 Marden Tags: Land Vehicle, Civil Building, Spaceship, Spying Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // Norah came to me and asked for my assistance in a mission that she felt I could help with. There was a secret Kawashita facility on Marden that Mantis wanted information on and she felt that I could gain access to this facility since she had gotten to know me lately and felt confident in me. While I was a bit apprehensive I did want to help and I wasn't quite sure how to say no without it being odd. She clearly thought I was an operative because she returned my outfit from when they had originally extracted me and got me onto a Mantis ship. Luckily the planet was under Mantis control so it wasn't very hard to get there. They dropped me off close to the facility and gave me directions on how to get there. I was surprised that they didn't give me any credentials or anything other than a name: Ken Barns. Norah told me that if I told the Kawashita people I was there from corporate on an inspection tour it would all go fine. I was quite dubious and yet I felt that I had to trust her. As I approached the perimeter of the facility multiple security people approached and demanded identification. I had seen them request both identification and biometric scanning of everyone to gain entry and I was suddenly quite nervous since I had neither. But I stuck to the plan and said that my name was Ken Barns and I was there from corporate for an inspection. Amazingly the guards said "Oh. Yes, go ahead." and they let me in. I was supposed to go to the main building and locate the primary hangar. Once in the main building I found someone and said I was looking for the main hangar. They gave me a suspicious look but I quickly said I was there from corporate for an inspection and they smiled and gave me directions. Upon arrival at the hangar I saw many people doing various work tasks on a spaceship. It was clearly a prototype craft and was impressive looking. One of the scientists working on it came over to me and said "Hey, who are you? What are you doing here, this is a highly classified area!" I said "Hi, I'm Ken Barns. I'm here from corporate for an inspection." and they said "OK, look around then. Let us know if you have any questions." I wasn't sure if it was the Ken Barns name or just that corporate inspections were to be expected, but it was like a magic key! I looked around at the craft and found out it was called the "Tropic Thunder" which was a bit of a play on the snowy conditions on Marden. It was a high speed and agile craft meant for recon. The prototype was currently unarmed but the production version would be lightly armed. It was a very impressive craft and I was going to have to file a report back to Octan also. Mantis had given me a small computer for notes, pictures, and to file a report. I knew it would be monitored, so I made a slight configuration change to bounce off of a relay station that Octan had compromised and was monitoring. This way while I couldn't keep Mantis from gaining this intel, I could at least make sure Octan also was aware. This was all getting so complex. At first I was just an Octan guy pretending to be a Mantis guy. But now I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude. At least I'm fortunate that my cover stories keep proving so strong!

Location: C10 Marden Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Exploration Last time, in Ender's story: Season 1 Season 2 A Man and His Dog Hamilton The Puffin Fight Night! Roomba Robot The Scurrier I Spy... Ender had been exploring the frozen wastes of Marden when he had spied a MANTIS patrol. He geared up and went out to tell them to get off his planet. He met up with the patrol in a red-tree field. (Judges, please note that the Green Mech is reused.) After some aggressive negotiations, MANTIS was persuaded to leave the area.
