[Gatecrashing] What kind of exploration gear should they get?
The PCs are on a Firewall-authorized gatecrashing mission to a new exoworld - they were supposed to find out more about the possible origin world of some mysterious alien artifact which has bonded with an async. They had to use the Martian Gate for this (covertly, of course - officially, they are sponsored by an eccentric scion of the Onassis dynasty), and once the mission started - which was supposed to be a "First In"-type mission, since nobody had been on this world before - they stayed in contact with Firewall via QE communication. Since the mission (with an initial 10 hour time window) started, the team has learned the following: - The world is habitable and in fact teeming with life (though the atmosphere is toxic to unaugmented humans) - they emerged into a jungle. - Aliens have erected large structures out of smart material on this world, the nearest of which is nearly a kilometer high. These are built largely out of smart materials and seem to react to psi somehow, but their purpose is unclear. - There are some local, starfish-shaped aliens which have possibly been "uplifted" via implantation of alien artifacts linked to these structures. - From time to time, various alien creatures seem to emerge from the local Pandora Gate(s) and somehow "merge with" the structures. - This seems to have recently happened with at least one human, possibly a Remade. - It is also possible that there is another human team still somewhere else on the planet, doing who knows what. Six and a half hours into the mission, Firewall informs them that they are already bidding for a follow-up mission for a time slot in two or three weeks. The PCs then proposed simply [i]staying[/i] on the world until that future time slot, and using the time slot when they are supposed to end the First-In mission to get additional supplies. Considering this mission fairly important, Firewall agreed. So, what kind of supplies could Firewall get to the Martian Gate on three and a half hours' notice? I need a list of gear I can hand to my players for the next session - tomorrow. Money isn't too much of a limitation for this mission, but time is - and of course, they don't want to raise more eyebrows with Pathfinder than they already have...

Well anything that the books lists as standard gatecrasher or survival gear should get through easily, other then that the scavenger tech in the main book says it is used by gate crashers, so it could all get through (and they would expect some of them if it becomes a extended mission) some fabbers and makers (with apropriate limiters, or that appear to have such limiters) could possibly get through, and of course a few Spare synthmorphs. Basically anything that would help them survive, but not grant self sufficiency could get through easily, and most of it is stuff that would be close by as the gear they would want is almost all common crasher supplies.
