jeriendhalPreviously at Part Six of Planet Crowdsource, we asked about first about the thickness of the atmosphere. At four votes (36.4%) it was decided that the atmosphere was thin enough to leave humans winded. We'll imagine it's about as thin as the Andes Highlands, which is probably uncomfortable if you're not a Peruvian native. Anybody working outside for a long period will probably want supplemental oxygen as a safety precaution.
Actually you'll probably want it anyway, because there was a 50/50 split over what sort of local pollutants were in the atmosphere, between tiny bugs that lays eggs in your lung and something that glows. Well, the good news is that the glowing bugs are probably nocturnal, so they're easy to avoid. The bad news is the word "probably". Wear a filter mask if you go out. It'll make breathing safer... and harder.
Now we're going what mining is like on this world, and how active its crust is. As a planet sized moon orbiting a gas giant, Crowdsource should have pretty damned active vulcanism, if not Io levels of nastiness, at least very noticeable. If it doesn't, that will require explanations in further polls.
