Ellipsoidal Oviform Search and Rescue

THIS IS A DRILL Starmada HQ has just informed me of a distress call from the Ork System. One of the binary stars has unexpectedly gone supernova and has destroyed the trianglator stations. All hands have taken to lifepods, and are awaiting rescue. Estimated power and life support levels are low. All available pilots report to Fort Tyler. THIS IS A DRILL

Logistics

For this mission we will need to break up into three teams with the names of their choosing. Each team is given some plastic egg containers. We split up and ride to three secret locations of each team's choosing. Pilots number each egg from 1 to 5 and hide them: the ones being easy to find, and fives hard to find. Once phase one for your team is complete, notify the other two teams and report back to the landing pad. Once all three teams arrive at the rendez-vous they proceed as a unit to each location: however, the 'home' team may only reveal their location by giving clues such as 'warmer' or 'colder' to the other two 'away' teams. Once the home team's site has been located, the two away teams search while the home team sets a 15 minute life-support timer. The away teams rescue as many escape pods as they can. The pods contain one to five Orkan life forms and are worth one point for each rescued.
