Whoa, what do I need to bring? Those trans-blue domes from Exploriens, etc?
Where are they at?

Question: Is the outpost on an atmospheric planet or not? I can arrange to
design the water reclamation facility.

Indeed. We need to arrange it at our meeting.

Yup. I have them, somewhere among the plastic containers.
