In order to heal an injury, you must submit a prompt wherein there is a fully trained physician tending to an injury on an injured colonist. When a colonist reaches HP of 0, they automatically become Injured and must be healed via this prompt before they can have HP regained in the Hospital. Injured colonists also must be healed before they can breed. They also are limited in activities, reducing their number of rolls possible by 2.

Only one colonist can be healed per submission and they should be set as the focus colonist, whereas physicians and their assistants must be listed in the comments to ensure they're not missed.

You may include up to three additional Physicians or Physician's Assistants in order to gain additional HP.

Base Result: 1 HP and 1 level Injury removed
Additional Physician or Physician's Assistant: +1 HP each included

Your Telecom Beeps to Life

DPIP Needs your help, researcher.

In order to increase our understanding of the planet you now are an inhabitant of, we request that you follow up on several reports.
If you have been chosen to follow up on any investigative reports, we request that you open the documents and follow up on the data within.
Investigations can range from strange events to simple oddities that we, as the DPIP, want you to follow up on.
Sometimes things are hard to see, but if you look at them in a different way, all becomes clear.
We also must require that you expend some of your hard-earned Research Points in acting on these investigations.
Remember, even if some of the reports are scary, you have nothing to fear but fear itself.

- Officer ???

Meta:

Investigations require the following things to be attached as Add-Ons:

• An art or literature component. Use the report information (found in the "Notes" of the Unopened Reports in your inventory) as a starting point but do not feel restricted to follow the report to the letter!
• A Research component. Each distinct type of Report has a cost, usually Research Points.
• The Opened Report. One per Submission.

Some prompts also require specific stats in the lead investigating colonist in order to be successful. Those will be stated within the Report Notes. If they don't mention any specific stat requirements, you don't need to worry.

Simple Report: 50 RP.
Brnxago Xeiszg: Ninxvzy Ymdr MT. 
Lvajavcrt Kixbmx: Ggm Nughzry VH. INVESTIGATE

You may additionally also state which colonist is the Lead Investigator in your piece.
They will earn an additional 2 XP for the piece.
They must be showing some form of clear leadership in your piece.

Foraging

Skill: Survival

The earliest ancestors of any intelligent species were hunter-gatherers. It is the natural way of things, before agriculture expanded and allowed once nomadic cultures to create settlements.

Any colonist from any colony, unless they are bedridden (injured, in hospital, or have a status effect blocking this,) may go out foraging for food and small items to bring back home for use at the colony. Examples of foraging include checking out bushes, sniffing for fruits, or picking plants.

Tip: Almost any exploration piece, so long as there's a colonist interacting with the foliage of the environment in some way, could be considered foraging! If it's hard to tell what one is doing, feel free to give a brief explanation in your Comment along with your regular leveling form.

Seasonal Prompts

The hot season is now over - how did your colony fare during the heat?
Was your colony planning for the upcoming planting season or did they just relax in the off season?
Is your colony prepared for lousy weather?
Have they noticed that DPIP is watching a little more closely and sending more dropships?

Region-specific Prompts

• Like every year, it seems, L'Hatzif is experiencing flooding in its lowlands.
• Mireh is experiencing an influx of flowering plants. Are they native to the planet? Are they safe?
• Heavy storming in Rekes can cause the mountains to grow unstable and begin landslides and avalanches.
• In the deserts of Issiq, the rains are washing away a good deal of sand. What are they revealing? Ruins?

Extra Bonus

EXTRA WORLDBUILDING BONUS: Display or portray a location in Xiunus that hasn't been shown very much during this season! This has to be more than just rocks, a field, etc. Use your imagination! Even if it isn't listed in canonical locations, feel free to make something up! +5 extra RP bonus, up to 4 entries per user before deadline.

The Department of Protected Inhabitants has set out an alert on all active telepads and comm networks. This is normal, they tend to send out odd little reminders and slightly suspicious messages from time to time... but somehow this feels different. There are many more drones spiraling about, scanning for who knows what. You've had at least three different operatives skulking around the outskirts of your colony.

It almost seems like they're looking for something and have no idea where it might be...

Instructions: Depict your colonists searching for and finding a suspicious report, either hidden away within your colony, the wilderness, a town or village, or even being given it by a shady individual. Get creative!

So, you've decided to respect the wishes of the Department of Protected Inhabited Planets, excellent! We thank you for that. 

We're sure you've heard, but the native inhabitants of B'Av have decided to open their docks and ports in all four regions. We need wonderful, intelligent researchers such as yourself and your colony to go introduce yourself to those who work at these watery locations! Perhaps there are towns near the docks that should be explored, far far more interesting than any silly little papers you might have found elsewhere. In fact, if you want to turn in opened reports if you run into any DPIP officers at the docks, feel free for the following rewards! Additionally, some of the Elders have traveled to these areas and have let us know that they need assistance in some research.

If you turn in an unopened report as an add-on, you will earn 100 Xen.
If you turn in an opened report as an add-on, you will only earn 50 Xen. Is your curiosity worth it?
If you explore the docks and interact with an inhabitant, you will earn 25 RP.

Oh, so you're not going to follow the instructions, nay, orders of the DPIP? That's fine, that's fine... for now. We have no power over what might happen if you follow the clues.

Instructions: Once you've opened a Suspicious Report and have a clue, illustrate or write about your colonists following that clue and searching the area. These should feature one of the NPCs associated with that location in your piece. Unlike regular DPIP reports, you will not have to pay a RP fee or follow the same limits as the Investigation prompt.

Submit to the individual subprompt based on the clue found in your Opened Suspicious Report item, not to the main prompt.
