Upon consideration, it actually sapped purpose from him, leaving not much room left for achievements. He wasn't too concerned with that though, because there was much to be done, especially since they were just getting onto the red planet. He turned to the scientific staff having to address them all for the first time.<br/><br/><strong>"Thank you Jack for organizing everyone, I've got it from here. First thing, I'd like to congratulate everyone on being among the select few out some 10 billion people down on Earth, who have had this chance, to be able to come to another world, and to experience it firsthand. Until now, all understanding of the universe and all of its workings, have come entirely from people's experiences from a single planet. Everyone standing here are the first people to change that.</strong><br/><br/><strong>"However, the most difficult part of the journey is still ahead of us, and we have a lot of work to do. For the medical staff, your orders are just as they were back on Earth: once the engineering staff gets the power up and running report to the medical bay and prepare for examinations of all colonists. We need to be thorough, so this includes dental and psychological testings; we don't want anyone suddenly dying or going crazy. As for all non-medical scientific staff: we need to take inventory of what supplies we have. If we're missing anything that we need, there's not much that we can do about it for a while, but the mining staff might be able to find a substitute element here. Oh yes, and I need the animal geneticist and the meteorologist to come with me" </strong>
