>search crates.

Alright, since WHAM did not post a continuation yet, I postpone my own command and +1 this (because why not use the opportunity and search crates...)

[miguel]

> smash and then search crates

[Lt. Smash]

> smash and then search crates

I wouldn't risk smashing possible ammunition boxes. Who knows if it contains grenades which could explode?

[WHAM]

> Search crates.

Having used and maintained the radio in the past few weeks, you know perfectly well that the crate underneath the field radio contains several spare batteries and other assorted spare parts, as well as some cable that can be used to extend the antenna to get better reception.

You open the second crate, underneath the table, and discover an OLYMPIA -brand typewriter, along with assorted ink ribbons and several stacks of paper, some blank, others with prepared fields for entry of reports and requisitions.

Use typewriter to begin a play-by-mail role playing game. It'll be a game within a game. It will be awesome! 

Or we could just...

> TAKE LAMP!

[Frodo]

> TAKE LAMP!

+ 1
YAY for the lamp   

[Fred7162]

> TAKE LAMP!

+1
We NEED the lamp

[miguel]

>use battery with radio
>use cable with radio antenna
>use radio to contact command center

[Stee]

It looks dark outside so

>Take lamp

>Stroll outside

[WHAM]

> Take lamp

After much consideration you pick up the lamp. It will not fit in your rucksack and if you would light it it would also pose a fire hazard, so you hold it in your hand.

[Crimson Wizard]

and if you would light it it would also pose a fire hazard

...now, people, don't you even think...

It looks dark outside so

It's actually mid-day outside. Check previous pictures.

My proposal again is:
> Go to the tent III (archeologic artefacts).

[Baron]

You fools!

> Return Lamp!!!!!

[Stee]

It's actually mid-day outside. Check previous pictures.

Aye, but in the last picture the glimpse of outside you can see from the tent looks dark. Maybe all this deliberating about whether to pick the lamp up means a lot of time has passed 

Anyway

>Rub lamp 

[Ponch]

Ohmigod!!! We're touching it!! 

I'm scared!

[Lt. Smash]

My proposal again is:
> Go to the tent III (archeologic artefacts).

+1

[miguel]

> check if the bloody radio works!

[Crimson Wizard]

My opinion is that there's nothing this character may send on radio right now. He has no knowledge on current situation, he may not even be sure that something wrong had happened.

[miguel]

Allow me to disagree my fellow roleplayer, my opinion is that he has all the feelings that something is terribly wrong. Life in the army involves something called a role call, (early on in the morning), well it's mid-day and he was asleep and does not remember why wasn't he awake by dawn like every other single day in his life as a military. There's nobody around, not even sounds of the daily chores soldiers must do. He has a radio in front of him and should try to contact a superior rank soldier to find out what's going on in there. Plus, I believe the radio is portable, meaning that he should carry it with him.
Between the radio and the lamp I would take the lamp but we all know by now that the lamp is haunted...

How could possibly a distant HQ better know what's going on in his camp? I'd suggest he at least try to search surroundings first, so he would at least know what to report about.
