In this forum you will play as a newly-promoted Other-Dimensional-Extortion-Facilitator, and
journey into the unknown, with the intention on labeling, patenting and packaging pretty much everything you can, all in the name of profit. With small army of expendable* employees at your call players will start as they venture forth through the portal into the 'other-space'.

Question. What is the other space?
(Devilishly Handsome) Answer. The 'other space' is the landscape through a series of strange doorways in, ahem, 'sacred' temples found in the middle of the Northern Territory. The areas inside these doors defy the laws of time and space, and vary from wind-scoured plains to lush rain-forests.

E3 tilts his head. "Okay I will. I'm not so sure someone with a moral compass is cut out for this line of work." That said he wanders off, kicking his heels at the packed sand.

E3 shouts out and hops for a few second before falling over.
E2 watches unhappily. The others shuffle agitatedly.

(Did you plan on doing something like that?)

(Shooting my own people? Nope.)
I move over to him, "Ever wonder what human tastes like? I have." I say before moving off again, "Someone put him in the medical bay. E8, 9, 10, get your gear your going on an expedition, recover the bodies of our people."

The majority of you underlings seem happy to have an excuse to stay away from you. The three near identical employees pack their gear and head off without asking if there was a connecion between their orders and your previous statement.

After HQ gives the OK E4 and E5 use a tarpaulin to carry the stone through the portal, into the industrialized temple on the other side,under the observation of a ODE Supervisor.
The site has been plated with metal, and had an aggressive AC installed for that professional feel.

Immediately after the stone crosses into the Standard-Space, the water is sucked out of the cool air. The water evaporates from the tank nearby, and the supervisors coffee turn into a cup of dry brown powder, and butter.

And the stone lets off a small flood of water.

Your team enters the other-space. Its closest semblance would be a north-American wood. The sky glows a milky pink, curtained by dark purple trees. The area seems to be cut into sectors with high wire fences.

After approximately 271 hours in the other-space, it still hasn't become night-time. The insects have become slightly louder.

(Sorry once again, since someone posted after you, which added another page I had no way of knowing you'd posted.)

I order E1 to check to see if the knives work on the fences, then request an axe, a saw, a shovel and (if the knives fail me) a set of bolt cutters. I then designate a decent-sized area as a stockpile and get E2 and E3 to try and get sticks and wire to fence it off. I also order E4 to start harvesting logs and E5 to start... um, start doing whatever the probes do. On the trees. And on soil samples.

Request Granted: Shears, Boltcutters, Rusty-Spade,Hatchet and Hand-Saw have been supplied. (The ODE company can be pretty stingy, so don't rely on requests too much.)

The knives prove largely ineffectual against th fences, save for in the case of laborious sawing. The trees, after jumps over the fence are proved to be largely uninteresting, but with strangely light needles that make an eerie whistling/buzzing sound in the wind.
E2-3 have trouble finding suitable material lying around.

(Probe rods are just sticks for poking things with.)

E5 reports nothing of intrest, and lapses into a monologue about his cousin. Some more of the bison like animalshave been spotted.
They travel in a smal lumbering herd, and many have the dark bulges of leeches laying across them
