FREOM is recruiting young professionals for a surveying team to Planet CCL2F2. Be the first boots on the ground.

PREMISE
In the race to discover all the secrets of CCL2F2 before others can βaccidentallyβ land on the planet first, the Freom has decided to forgo the usual precautions - five atomic years of unmanned observation. Two months into the four year undertaking, an unexpected snow storm hits the surveying camp and leaves the team stranded.
SETTING
>UNIVERSE
Far into the future. Earth is regarded as an ancient site, not much goes on there except for tourism. Due to a longstanding pact not to annex it, Earth is not part of any greater interstellar empire/entity.The amount of people who live on Earth full-time is nearly negligible compared to the amount who live elsewhere in the universe. People live on colonized planets, rings/other structures orbiting planets, expansive space stations, and anywhere else you can build a habitat.Many different forms of government exist and interact. Small skirmishes happen in border territories. It has been roughly a century since the last war between interstellar entities.There are signs that alien civilizations once existed, but first contact has not happened yet. Alien relics are coveted.>DISTALA STATION
FREOM HQ. Located within the Madak Zone, territory controlled and protected by corporate alliances. The crew will depart from here.Many people live their entire life within the Madak Zone and even just on Distala Station. The station has all the bells and whistles of a large city, including a company-owned university. Quality of life is generally high but it has the slightly uncanny quality of a Google office. All of your needs will be taken care of, so you only need to work!>PLANET CCL2F2
Planet CCL2F2 has only been surveyed by drones thus far. Thereβs vegetation on the planet, which is rare. A lot of money was spent at auction for its resources.>I.T.S. DEMETER
Inter-Tunnelling Ship DEMETER. An old warship with wormhole travel capabilities, it was acquired by FREOM to haul research equipment and serve as a habitat on non-life sustaining planets.

ABOUT
After the Kuiper Antitrust War, the former crop science department of the Kuiper Trade Company established itself as a new, independent FREOM. Despite our recency, only established for a little more than a century and a half, FREOM is a leader in agricultural/biological technology within and beyond the Madak Zone. It's all thanks to our foundational patents for Humanoid Construct Technology. What began as a small side project for our Bio-Interactions team quickly gained support from anyone in the company who could lend a hand. From then on, it was history!The once minor orbital outpost of Distala Station is now a thriving orbital ring around the planet Surahines Medius

Human (w/ Psionics)
Treated on job applications like being multilingual
Evaluated by a 3rd party like drug testing
Feared/ostracized in some areas
Most useful for Navigation, key to activating the ship's wormhole tunneling mechanism (space whale brain)
Incredibly physically weak
Require regular psychiatric check-ins
React poorly to augmentations
Psionics are assumed to be a natural evolution of humans, genetically inherited
Human (w/o Psionics)
May have augmentations
More physically robust than those with Psionics
Possible to develop Psionics later on...
Constructs
Jobs: security guard *, lab assistant, custodian/janitor, cook, etc.
Cannot develop Psionic powers
Effectively immortal, can be repaired indefinitely as long as brain is intact (mechanical bodies are always repaired before regrowing nervous tissue)
Memories may be recovered even after "death"
May develop human-like mannerisms or inexplicable compulsions
Must comply with orders from humans (within a reasonable, professional degree)
Can look more mechanical or more human
*Only security constructs and superior officers will be armed on board.
Visual
Pictured below (left to right): ONBOARD COVERALL, EXPLORATION SUIT, CRYOGOWN (options available for those who prefer more coverage).Onboard coveralls are only required while on the clock and may be customized within reason. While working, hair that reaches below the shoulder should be tied up. If applicable to the task, eye protection should be worn.Off shift, crew may wear casual clothing. Keep in mind, your supervisors and peers will see it.
AREA UNDER CONSTRUCTION注ζ
Visual Application template coming soon. It will have a required headshot and half/fullbody, both of which may be drawn by someone else. AI "art" is not allowed under any circumstances. Just use Picrew or something.
