>Taylor, Calm down. I'm here with you. Calm down, and let's figure this out together. If we can't figure out the beds in time, we'll have to go to the escape pods. Two are always better than one for survival.

Taylor twitched a smile in the middle of this madness, She was doing her best to retain her focus. A liquid Crerium pipe exploded at the other end of the room sending a wave of frostbite all of the burning inferno you two were in. The explosion sent a frozen shard which scrapped your right leg at high velocity. you gritted your teeth in pain.

Not a second later the chunk of the hallway has collapsed into the fiery abyss below, you could feel a slight tilt in the spaceship which was growing by the second. A leap of faith or a longer route to the escape pods are your only options...

How many beds are there? Do I know these people? If any of them would be super helpful in this situation or useful for an adventure I'd want to save at least one person.

>Attempt to hack at least one cryobed and if that doesn't work then say, "We have to go now." (rolls D20)

>>1321929
About 20 (now 18) bed. The Merahl is mostly automated ship

feel free to ask me other question, this goes to everyone too.

>>1321929

"BUT THE-" A good chunk of the room has collapsed near one of the corners. The simple primal instinct of self preservation has kicked in. If you and Taylor stay here a minute longer, you will join the rest of the crew.


"W-WHICH WAY?" Taylor had to shout to make her voice audible amongst all this chaos. The purposed leap of faith will take you to escape pods; the ship was designed in that fashion in mind. The other option is to take a safer but longer route to the escape pods.
>Let Taylor decide which way to go
>Take a leap of faith [Roll 1d20, anything below than 10 WILL cause jack to fall, I will roll for Taylor]

50/50 are terrible odds and I don't know enough about the ship to make an 'other' agreement.

>Let's follow the safest protocol and run out the only way viable. If there is any outer space survival gear along the way I suggest we take it into the pod, just in case of worst case scenario.

Especially a transmitter/communication device.

You are not taking any unnecessary risks, you took a right to the relatively unscathed other hallway.

You knew for certain that the escape pod is not just a glorified ejection seat, it had an Emergency spacesuit, water and rations for one week, an broadcasting E. beacon, a small power supply and a plasma pistol .


The space ship is no way near to your supposed destination. Wherever this pod is gonna land, it will land in one of the untouched Tiren Cala uncolonized planets


The path had some lights flickering but it was mostly stable...not for long though.

The Medbay, Armory, flight deck, the large store depot and of course the emergency exit can be accessed from where you are.

The two of you were barely able to stand properly due to the increasing tilt. You looked behind you momentarily.... the destruction behind you is catching up.

>>1322277

medbay it is.

>>1322287
Cool. Here is some flavor Txt.

"Listen, Taylor. I know you're scared right now but we've got to stop in the Med Bay. Dying on the ground is not any different from dying here in space."

'If anything, it's slower,' he thinks to himself.

"T-thanks Jack, Cora...." the ship's captain was among the cryobeds. You had to wonder why she went for you at first. maybe she felt safer with a man who knows how and when to shoot? you had no clue.

The two of you took a sharp right to the medbay, The emergency powersupply kicked in. The place as expected was in chaos with the ongoing tilt. It was getting hotter as well...

"Shit, what a mess..."panting, Taylor wiped the blood out of her face. "help me to find something useful..." she was disgusted to find her medbay like that. She was the ship's doctor. Both you and her did little during the Merahl long treks. You rarely had to raise your plasma rifle against anything/anyone. this ought to change in the upcoming days.

Since she's a doctor and sounds like she's familiar with the med bay I'm sure she'll be able to find the right things as quicker than me.

"Even though it's a mess you know your bay right? Search for what we'll need in the rough areas where they used to be when things weren't a mess. I think that'll save time. And direct me where to search too so I can help, we won't have much time."

Jack enjoys the extra heat while he can - any moment he could be out in the cold vacuum of space, and whose to say the planet they land on won't be freezing.

With Taylor, you hastily grabbed some sedatives, painkillers, STEM syringes , disinfectants, some surgical tools and antirad pills and stuffed it in one large bag.

The emergency power supply was on its last legs. You two ran as fast as you could. Alas the escape pods was just up ahead. there are ten pods in the ship, two for each.

An explosion at the back of the ship tore it into three parts just as you closed the door behind you. You haven't or rather couldnt eject the pod from this chunk of the ship as it was spiraling into the atmosphere down below at an incredible high speed. It was scalding hot here despite the proper pod insulation.
Roll a d20 to see where the pod will drop, it will give me a rather sense of difficulty of what is up ahead.

As the pod was breaching the foreigner atmosphere, you could see what was down below


A once hollowed cratered plains claimed by blue vegetation bordering a peculiar jungle to the east, a sprawling monolith to the south, a black sea to the north and a wasteland of molten fissures to the west

A parachute was deployed minutes before landing smoothing this awful experience. The pod landed in the dead center of one of these miles wide craters.


"You alright, Taylor?" you asked the doctor, her skin was pale as a corpse.

"Y-yes, I...i..." she was struggling to stay awake, her right hand clutching to her myriad of wounds.

"I don't think...this is too much for...me..." blood slowly dripped from her side.

before you could reply to her, you heard a rattling of sorts outside, all you could see at the moment was burning blue shrubs around the pod. nothing more.


>hey, hey, you just need some rest. you can do it [give her 1 painkiller and 1 sedatives , you have 10 of those]

"Don't give up on me now, come on just a little bit of time. Everything is going to be all right. You're a doctor, tell me what you need. Will this STEM needle help you?"

Try to soothe her and make her feel confident, ignore the rattling for now but keep it in my awareness in case it turns out to be a threat. It's imperative that she survive and become useful. And the right thing to do.

>>1322673
STEM syringes highly increases one's regenerative abilities at certain doses. Doses above the approved threshold may results in grotesque outcomes

"Less than...a third..." She rested her eyes a bit. Before being hired as a guard to a private company, you spent six years of your life on the field as a solider...you have seen so much shit that ironically steeled your nerves at this moment.

You had taken one of these STEM syringes before, an older , yellow version called the SS or the soldier's syringe. You would have lost an arm had it been for the SS.

Carefully, you injected the STEM into her arm, you are no medic but you managed to give her less than required dose just to be safe, she winced in pain from your rather brute input.

The healing cycle should take eight to twelve hours. You could try to extract the shards littering her right side but you arent skilled enough for doing so. The healing process will either bounce the smaller shards out or engulf the bigger ones to form this uncomfortable lumps. Taylor will sleep in said period.

You peaked through the window to see if anything is around....

nothing but pillars of smoke. The wreckage must be nearby. Although with all of these large craters around, it might give you a false estimation of distance. A cracked black screen on your right has sprawled back to life.

It must be the pod's system which is not as automated as the rest of the ship.

i think i will call it for today, how did i do?

it is more like cancer on setroids, she will turn into a blob of flesh, bones, hair, teeth/etc

>Check the rest of the pod.

Specifically checking for weapons and to see if the communication systems are up, or anything that catches my eye as particularly needed in this moment.

>I think i will call it for today, how did I do?

You did fine! I like that you started the game with action. I would say think carefully about what you write after you write it, before you post, just in case. Ask yourself a few questions to make sure it's logical enough to pass a first reading etc. You did pretty good on this though and I think continued writing will get you in the groove.

And my only other piece of advice, and this one is probably the only real critique I have of your game is that second person narration and past tense don't mix. I found the explosion post particularly confusing because of the mixture of the two.

Mixing the tenses made me think we didn't make it and died, until I got somewhere around the end of the post. I had to reread it for clarity.

I'm going to bed too, thanks for the game so far!

>>1322790
Also to clarify if I get voted in - I know there is a plasma pistol etc. because you already told us I'm just checking the pod for where those things are, if everything is working right, and if there is anything else in here that I didn't know about that will come in handy.

The pod itself was rather small and bareboned in the interior. It had two seats for the escapees with built-in storage compartments so it wont take much space. An external power supply outlet could be accessible via this small box next to your feet.

There might be more hidden things in this pod you haven't seen or activated just yet. You would check the screen later for more details

Aside from the cracked screen and the seats, there was nothing else around you, Everything was packed inside these storage compartment. You did your best to produce the least noise possible as you were compiling a list of what supplies you and Talor got:

Pod Supplies

- Ether-32 Plasma Pistol : Good Plasma pistol, A trusty sidearm but in what could be a hostile world, it might not be enough.

- 20 ERC : You expected more Ether Rechargeable Cartridges for the pistol. These will do.

- 28 bottle of water: 2 bottles a day for each person, should last for a week or so

- 5 Glowing Sticks : Each with a 1 hour or so lifespan.

- 1 Geola : a rather simple tablet where one can write notes, draw maps and play games on it (you dont have really a luxury to do so)

- 2 Myler blankets : really light blankets, they reduce the heat loss


- 28 Ration : 14 different flavors, delicious . they should last for a week


- 2 EMR spacesuits :with decent heat, rad protection and air filtration

- 2 EMR-com : For Communicating with each other and/or the pod itself

- 4 first aid kits : bandages, alcohol and other assortments of medicines.

you double checked on the bag you brought with during your decent, you found 10 sedatives, 10 painkillers, 3 STEM syringes , 10 disinfectants, surgical tools and 10 antirad pills.


Taylor would wince in pain every once in a while, it has been half an hour and you found the tiniest of the shards on the floor already.

You peaked through the window again, it has to be the planet night cycle. it was so dark outside. you didnt notice the sudden shift between cycles when you were on listing duty. Some of the blue shrubs would glow faintly. The ones who glowed the brightest had a overlaying red taint. Strange Fauna.

The rattling is no more, thankfully. That didn't mean you two are alone in this desolate crater.

The plasma pistol was oddly light, perhaps this was because you were used to use rifles pre and post military. You tucked it on your side before checking the screen.

The screen projected what appeared to be a humanoid figure in a blank state with no expression . This projection scanned you briefly before speaking "Hello sir, My name is Espa 2.0.

"The probe should consume about 10% of our overall energy to scan the surroundings and the general atmosphere, sir. It should take about an hour."

You spent an hour adhering to the window. This world out there...untouched by man. It felt magical in a way. Across hundreds of years, humanity has discovered and colonized a lot of planets outside of the milky way and yet not a single evidence of intelligent alien life form out there.


Nothing natural at least.

Another shard dropped on the floor. Taylor is recovering faster than expected. This is some good news. You could see some lumps forming up on the bigger shards embedded at her side. She is the doctor here. She will figure it out.


The AI projected itself once more "We have some readings on the surrounding area....but we have lost connection to the probe...Processing the probe's data...."

Espa made this odd buzzing sound for a couple of seconds. All the readings and a small rudimentary map was also shown in the screen.

" Processing the probe's last footage and location...marking it on the map" looks like the probe had simply dropped dead for no reason. It wasn't attacked by any life form in the footage.

"My attempts to reboot the probe are failing, what should we do, sir?"

Current reading showed that:


-The air is somewhat breathable, It does have a hint of chlorine so over exposure can have rather unpleasant caustic effect

-About 50 rads lingers in the area the probe has explored....One tenth of the lethal threshold.

-Temperature ranges from 20 c to 42 c in the surronding areas

-A full cycle in this planet is about 15 hours. 4 of them is day cycle while the rest is night cycle

-Gravity is slightly more than Earth gravity.

You drank a bottle of water and ate one ration meal before closing surrendering to your body. you needed that rest.

You slowly woke up by the sound of some classical music and a painful grunt. Taylor was using an empty bowel from her used ration meal and extracting all the embedded shards. You must have dozed of for at least eight hours straight. Espa was projecting a mirror of sorts for the doctor

You guys refused the emergency beacon? You might as well be dead. Doesn't matter if it uses 5% a day you're on an unknown planet and no amount of energy loss is going to change that. Doesn't matter if you turn it on now, or later, except that you have a better chance of surviving a week or two than a whole month.

Also, energy can be engineered if we happen to be stuck her very long term. Not only that but the ship probably has a buttload of potential energy and since it crashed on this planet we'd find it eventually.

Why not use the pod to find the ship?

>>1326204

"I am holding up...god.." And there went the last shard. She took the last sip of her bottle of water "Espa kept speaking with me while you were snoring off. A good company...I..."

Taylor's voice trailed off "Are we the only ones left?? I...I can't believe it "

Of course she didnt want to remember the hell she had been through but it is a must to piece things together "The Ship AI have unlocked my Cryobed requesting my presence at the Storage Depot . It needed some manual help with one of the deliveries in the bio-sensitive section. A blue beating heart from Mars was overheating and acting irregularly inside its container. When i was inspecting it....well, the main engine had an explosion which kickstarted this whole shit show...here we are in a middle of fucking no where. If only I..." words wouldnt just come out. She cleaned all the used bandages and dried blood in silence.

"Sir, Madam, the pod's motion sensors are detecting two unknown life forms circling around the pod. Caution is advised ." The rudimentary map on the screen showed two red dots circling around in the same pace. The rattling was louder than before.

"Negative sir, almost of our the pod's Scanning abilities relies on the probe...This might not be appropriate time to mention it sir, but we are below 90% of the pod's overall energy supply. "

They had to be rather small in size; one or two shrubs rattled as they continue circling around the pod. They are not too stupid to rush you at the first glance. This was at their second recon around the pod. You must not underestimate their intelligence.

>Espa, shut down everything. No body moves

>Ask Espa about____

>>1329486
>other
We're wasting energy just sitting here then. The longer we go without using the emergency contact beacon the less time we get to broadcast. If the planet has life then there are other ways to survive other than this pod.

The only other option I see, is trying to retrieve that probe so that we could possibly find out where the main ship had crashed and use it for parts and energy.

Either way, I can find the ship eventually and this pod will be nothing more than a lifeless shelter once the power runs out.

Espa, what is the temperature of the surrounding air?

For now, please reroute all power to emergency broadcasting. Once I know the air temperature I can go outside and look around for materials to provide heat if it comes down to that.

Taylor, do you see the two life forms outside? Be ready for anything but don't open the door. They might just leave us alone. We don't want a confrontation unless absolutely necessary.

Espa then opened a small vertical slide door revealing an actual tiny stall with a toilet at one of the corners, it was kind of pure hidden too.... you certainly didn't noticed it first time "A perfect hiding spot for the sir or madam should the need rises....the pod is able to either expel your wastes or it can repurified using the pod's power supply for clean water...1% to be exact."

Cool, n welcome :)

K, so with the power routed to emergency beacon, now I guess we just wait on high alert for a bit to see if anything happens from those two lifeforms outside.

>Since I'm military I'll put myself in front in case anything happens.

To other players: I'm thinking we should probably explore as soon as the coast is clear, because if we're stuck here when we run out of food rations etc. we won't have the energy to actually go out and do stuff.

But hopefully it won't come to that, if we get picked up by a rescue ship we need to investigate the initial crash.

>>1329833

Espa flickered for a moment "24 Celsius or 75 Fahrenheit. The suit should provide extra insulation and protection. Your current choice of clothing is also suitable. The emergency broadcast can not be amplified with more power, sir. Madam should not go outside with so much exposed skin the chlorine might have a rather unpleasant caustic effect on her skin " It was true, her shirt was torn from the right side, her whole arm as exposed.

"Shit," you muttered.

"Are you going out there?" asked Taylor, her eyes flickering over the window as the rattling continued. This planet had awfully long night cycle killing any proper visibility outside. The dancing shadows outside kept troubling both of you. They must be dealt with. Taylor pulled out the multi tool and tucked it in her pocket just in case.

She was counting on you. You have been in worse situations before. You can do this...

"No, we should only go out as a last resort. But it would be smart to get suited up just in case we have to. We can survive out there with nothing but a respirator but the chlorine exposure won't be good for our skin."

>>1329871
Suit up.
Are there spotlights outside?
If so, light them up.

>>1329949
We seem to have a lot of standard emergency equipment. There is probably a flashlight somewhere in the pod or built into our suits, no need to turn on any lights.

But then again, lights might not take up very much energy so if we could get a wide area lit up it might be helpful.

>>1329970
Its to blind the unknowns, so we can get into position without being assaulted. They can't hit us if they can't see us. And it would strengthen our side if we need to negotiate.

>>1329949
I've also been thinking about shutting off the AI. It's only useful up to a certain point and without our probe we could maybe turn it on only when we need it.

The AI seems to be extremely advanced so it might take up a good bit of power. I'm thinking about it like a laptop. Turn off everything unnecessary to survival and our power will last longer for the beacon etc.

>>1329949
the pod itself does have a spotlight in all four directions, they can also function as heat lamps provide warmth at the cost of more energy usage. however both the Suit and the EMR-Multi tool have flashlights (the suit has better more reliable source of light. The Multitool, not so much)

we also do have glowing sticks . keep that in mind

I disagree with telling her to hide.

We worked hard to calm her down since the beginning of the thingy it'd be better for her to be unafraid and gain confidence.

She needs to be capable in an emergency, not trained to run and hide. If we die then she's extra screwed if she can't rely on herself.

"Right." Taylor went to the small bathroom to change. while you did so between the two seats.

The suit was vert comfortable from the inside. As you might have expected, it made you feel a bit bulkier and sluggish just a little bit.

Espa flickered for a moment, you heard a small beep coming from your suit "I have calculated the current time of this planet according to the readings brought by the probe. This ought to give you a better scale of time, sir."

You looked at the small screen strapped onto your left hand, it said 10:38 . From 0:01 to 4:00 is the morning cycle while from 4:01 to 14:59 is the night cycle. it did feel very confusing.

At 11:00, Espa confirmed the absence of the unknown lifeforms in the vicinity. It brought some relief to both of you. Momentarily at least , with proper timing, you could study their pattern because you are certain they will be back.

Say to Espa: Conserve energy any way you can even if it means putting yourself to sleep while we are out. You can even turn off the oxygen converter/supply since the pod is small and will fill back up quickly when we get back to turn it back on.

That was just an accident. I was going to choose 'convince her' then thought, nah, you shouldn't be trying to convince a chick who is freaking out, you have to just straight up tell her she's coming with you. XD Then forgot it in the options field.

>>1330327
Why would the military want a civilian around on a mission? Especially one who probably doesn't have weapons training.>>1330378

>>1330391
A few reasons. 1. We're only alive because of each other anyway - she woke us up from cryo to help her survive, and then we got her to get to the pods.

So staying together has kept us alive.

2. If we go off alone it's easier for hostiles to kill one of us. Or for us to fall into a natural disaster (down a pit, get hid by a rock, slip on something, etc.) and have no one there to help or save us.

3. She needs the confidence.

4. We can almost completely power down the ship while we're out.

It just seems like the most logical thing. Stay together, stay alive, stay apart, bigger risk.

She is medically trained on top of all that. Civilian doesn't really matter, this is a survival situation not a military operation - we're not after bad guys or combat.

>>1330391
Having said that though, your option won out so we'll work with whatever happens.

>>1330433
Just didn't want the dr in a more dangerous situation than she already is.
If she goes with us and something happens to her, it will shake her confidence worse, than if it happened if she was in the pod.

>>1330460
How? I would think being alone in the pod would be worse if something happens to her. Like if the alien life becomes hostile or etc.

It would also then make our survival chances way lower. If one of us gets hurt away from the other one, that's energy, rations, all sorts of stuff, that we'd have to spend to try and find the other person, and we might find them too late if at all. It would also be psychologically harder on the survivor.

Uncertainty, alone, etc. I'm actually surprised she'd /want/ to be alone in the pod instead of going with us.

You opened the hatch door embracing the atmosphere of this alien planet. You chose not to use the suit's respirator at the moment; you may never know when it might handy.

The air....it had this... smell which you couldn't identify at all. You took a deep breath, there was this sting in your throat. Almost subtle and unnoticed. Other than that, it was totally fine. Only your face was exposed to the air, the rest of your body wasn't exposed.

You got a solid grip on your plasma pistol, your eyes darting left and right for any sudden movement....

None.

Blue shrubs surronded you from every direction, some were charred from the landing. The screen strapped to your suit had also the rudimentary map of earlier. You had to option to place markings on the map. Useful for landmark and assessment of distance.

It was still dark, the flashlight on your suit ought to help you immensely.

(Like do a small circle around the pod half a mile out.) Just to see if there are any signs of the crashed ship and/or probe in any particular direction.

This would probably be better when it's fully light out.

Apparently we think very similar.

We should also tell the Dr. exactly what we're doing, like even down to what direction we'll walk.

That way if comm is cut she can estimate where we are and be quicker to rescue us.

>>1330787
Are you me?!?

But seriously yes.
Better yet, place the projected route on the computer.

>>1330802
We'll essentially be doing that by placing the markers on the masks. She needs a mental road map in case everything goes wrong. So what I meant by tell her what we're doing, is like, constantly. Talk to her while we're walking and describe what direction we're going, and what we're seeing.

That would also mitigate the 'aloneness' factor at least psychologically.

Cool :) Its ok that we disagreed earlier its not a big deal, its just a game and I don't /actually/ know what will work out for the best. The GM could have a totally different idea of what will happen, or often times they don't even know themselves and they get ideas from what the players say out loud. XD

I've been a GM way more than a player in my life. I love sci-fi too. ANYhoo, off topic.

I think we're locked in now so we'll just have to wait and see what happens next.

ten minutes should cover half a mile. It was a rough estimation of course, you marked them on the map to give yourself a sense of distance. The probe doesn't seem to be that far.

In the horizon you could see the walls of the crater engulfing the land around you. they seemed to be awfully high. their concavity combined with the endless vegetation could hinder any attempt for climbing to the other side.

It was 12:14 by the time you finished sulking around in the dark. Something purple shined nearby, it was easy to spot due to the difference in contrast as well as lesser vegetation to the southwest.

it looked...it looked like a crystallized anthill. the ground ahead of you ahead little scraps of metal; most were alien to you but some were indeed from pod/the crashed debris. The entrances can barely fit a small dog, there were also what you assumed to be vents at the top of this anthill.

>>1330865
>Question:

Does it look like the debris has been carried towards these holes or any pattern like that?

If not, then I want to read the pattern of the debris, to see if some of it doesn't point towards the Pod but rather in another direction and could possibly lead us to the main ship.

>>1330865
>Speak with Taylor on the EMR-com, inform her of your discovery, and ask for her advice.
>>1330885
Determine the cause of the debris field.
Hope it isn't some metal eating creature.
Like the one alluded to from >>1330689.

>>1330865
How small of a dog? Like chihuahua sized, rat terrier sized, or basset hound sized?

>>1330885
they were carried from the pod's vicinity to the anthill, most likely. Judging by the size of this lifeform, it is not likely to drag something from long distances. For all what we know, the pod might be the only thing that landed in this crater. These scraps are still small though. maybe there are too big to be carried inside, maybe it didnt seem to be as enjoyable as the rest inside...who knows?

>>1330896
more of a pug. Various entrances combined with their small size might indicate more than just a couple of these creatures inside.

>>1330915
Hmm, could we make a trap and catch one? Could be a source of food. But if it has a diet of metal, it might be very poisonous.

>>1330896
Well, it's a semi relief in that all signs are pointing to them not being likely to bother us inside the pod, as long as they don't eat metal. XD I was thinking about that too.

>>1330950
If they eat metal, then they are a threat to our continued survival. Maby the metal they eat collects in their hide, and we could make natural metal scale mail from them.

>>1330893
>Speak with Taylor...

I second.

>>1330915
Lets find a stick and poke the anthill.

>>1330978
Not necessarily. I mean. They aren't a complete threat.

Let's say worst case scenerio, they not only eat metal but they can rip it apart (meaning tear apart our ship) the biggest loss there is our distress beacon. That's the only thing I consider a really big deal.

They aren't likely to eat everything we have (like people food) and shelter can be made. We have no evidence they would attack us, or are carnivorous, yet.

And not so worst case scenerio, they might not be able to eat large chunks or tear it off.

Best case scenerio: they don't eat it at all. And were attracted to it's shininess.

Though I think because of the 'slag' thing that was a hint that they do sort of process metal. Unless GM meant slag from the crash (entry into the planet.)

>>1331008
There are good reasons to believe they won't eat our ship though if we're super logical about it. A) They didn't try to in the first place, they fed on the scraps of our crash and hovered around the ship and didn't touch it at all even though they could have then and there.

And B)We don't see lots and lots of large chunks of metal around. So how could they be metal eaters on a huge scale? We see shrubs and crater dust, but no giant natural metal that they'd reqiure to live.

>>1331029
>>1331066
Hmm, they don't need to do massive damage to the pod, all they need to do is to damage some wiring or vital part of the pod to disable it. Like a squirrel eating into the wiring of a house and causing it to burn down That would be devastating to our chances of survival.

>>1331099
While our survival should be number one priority, I admit that we can find a less violent way to deter the creatures if we need to.

>>1330893
You briefly explained your findings to Taylor across the EMR, for the first time, she made a sigh of relief.

"Jack, you are near a Yensarium Collto or Yensa den. They have some structural and behavioral similarity to dogs expect for their tendency to consume metallic objects. Each Yensa den holds about twenty Yensa. They are docile in nature but their altitude may change according to their diet..."

"how did you know all of this?" you were really curious about it.


"I read a lot of E-books, I have a lot of spare time in my job. I didn't think there are records of Yensa on this planet. must be an unrecorded strain." She paused "Careful Jack, they can easily swarm and kill an adult in a matter of moments if felt threatened ."

>any way to kill them? are they weak to something?

>>1331099
Losing our ship is only a big deal for as long as we have power, then after that it's just a shelter, even a dangerous shelter if there are metal-eating ants on this planet.

We can't change the environment we can only adapt do our circumstances.

We both voted to talk to Taylor and get her advice, she might have some idea.

I personally don't have any ideas yet, we don't know enough about these creatures to know how to ward them off, even if they are a threat to the ship, and getting close enough to find out that information is just as likely to be dangerous.

I think after we hear from Taylor we should turn around and worry about the probe. The ants haven't bothered us so far, so no need getting worried before our time about something we have no control over.

Besides, we'd want to get to the probe before the ants did.

>>1331132
>other

Taylor, do you remember reading anything about them that could keep them away from our ship? A repellent, a preference, a behavior, anything.

Use your amazing mind and try to think of something. The last thing we want is for them to eat our ship and leave us without that distress beacon.

If we end up running out of power we can worry less about it.

>>1331029
they can process metal, while their teeth can tear metal apart, it has to be somewhat malleable enough for it to bit.

Since it is more or less an open plain, the other viable way of obtaining metal is underground. they can dig their way to the belly of the earth. still, a treat of metal on the ground will surely get their attention.

>>1331132
I want one as a pet.
and this >>1331173
>>1331179
Well when we get back, we're cleaning up the scrap.

>>1331187
The scrap could be what saved our ship. It's probably much easier for them to eat than to try and tear down a solid pod. In fact you just gave me an idea.

If we find the probe and can't save it, we could leave little bits of it around our ship every day so they get a constant feed of metal that isn't our ship, it just might keep them from eating our ship for as long as we have power.

>>1331204
Hmm, could also try to tame one at the same time. We could use them to "sniff" out the location of debris of the main ship.
Not even on the planet one day, and we're already trying to domesticate wildlife.

>>1331173
Taylor remained silent for moment, a single ah broke the silence "They are generally sensitive against heat, since they have little means of cool regulations. They also respect the territories of some species if said species provided a sort of act of friendship or at least neutrality. They form various and mutual relations with other species. Let me think....you have to provide them something that they have never tasted before...."


>so whenever they are close, we will turn on the heat lamps. got it.
>Any way to kill them?

>I will explore more for a bit [please specify]
>other

>>1331223
That's what humans do. XD That's not a bad idea but remember we can't let them near us in huge numbers.

So it'd be best if we built a trap close by the pod, using some metal as bait.

After we hear from Taylor we could maybe:

>Look for probe now, and pick up as much scrap metal as we can fit in on our person while walking.

>>1331223
Perfect, never tasted before - we already did that. There is no way they've eaten anything like the metal on our ship before since it's been made not only from metals on a foreign planet, but made especially for space travel.

And heat! Bingo, easy for us humans. We could keep a fire going, no problem. If there is enough oxygen for us to breath like this, then there is enough for a fire. And the shrubs mean there is more than enough fuel.

you marched onwards where the probe has crashed with a proper explanation. But first you wanted to mark a one mile mark on your map, you went straight forward before taking a right, suddenly the strangest thing has occurred...

you felt really heavy . you exerted so much effort to walk the fewest of steps. All the Shrubs in the area were outright flattened to the ground as if someone has rolled over them.

The screen strapped to your suit has shutdown along with the light. Alone, you were stranded in the dark. If you recall correctly, it was 12:49 before everything went black.

This planet didn't have a moon you were aware of. None was lighting up the skies that's for fure. The luminescence of the flattened shrubs was the best guide you have in this swollen darkness.

You eventually found the probe...or its remains at least. Its outershell has been burrowed in by those Yensas, you assumed. electronic and metal scraps littered the area around it . What a shame.

Eventually, you had to retrace your steps. Everything came back to life; the flashlights, the screen, the EMR-com. You kept walking across this strange zone marking some borders in your map. They were far from accurate but they might help you to identify this area later in the future.

by now, it was 13:45 You were getting tired mainly from the extra effort in the strange zone.

>>1333793
Gravitational Anomaly Number 0001.
Also note there is a negative affect on electronics.

>>1333806
Probably a bit of a negative effect on our bodies too. Body has to work harder, maybe blood can pool, dunno. Remember the overall gravity on this planet is slightly higher than earths, even without the anomaly. But a slight difference shouldn't really matter very much, but when it's flatting out shrubbery, that's quite a lot of weight.

>>1333865
If the shrubbery is flattened, then the anomaly is very recent. If the human body is subjected to too many g forces, the blood would collect in the legs and we would passout. G-lock is a hellova thing.
>go back to the pod
Sorry thought i put that in my post.>>1333806

>>1333806
Also, gravitational anomalies are extremely rare. This could be a sign that our ship has crashed somewhere near by and it's gravity system is throwing the area off kilter? At the very least it's a sign of SOMEthing important, and perhaps unnatural.

If there are zones of higher gravity we may be lucky and find zones of much lower gravity.

Wonder how it effects our bug friends.

(I'm probably not gonna make any decisions this game/today and just sit back and read what happens or maybe chat with fellow players, I had a really bad night. Someone's car alarm went off every 20 minutes from 2AM to 7:30-8am.

you went back to the pod by 14: 06 , Taylor has already set so fires around the pod.

You were a bit exhausted from walking through this anomaly but you were mostly fine. Espa informed you that the power supply was getting below 80% . between the probe and the ongoing the emergency beacon, it wasnt much of a surprise to lose about a fifth of the power in a about 24 hours.

>Ask Taylor something
Would you mind talking about it?

>>1333925
Thanx LXC

>>1334054
Forget asking her about it, forgot we already did.
Ask if she is feeling better.

Good night everyone, hope your night goes better than last.>>1333885

>>1334117
You drank a bottle of water and ate one ration by the fire. It was so calm out there in the open. You would image how hard it would be if you landed in the midst of a jungle or other inhospitable environments in this planet.

Taylor felt better, her face was a tad livelier than before. You sat next to her as you were finishing the last of your meal, it was about 14:56 ...almost minutes away from a new dawn


"Jack...." She broke the silence, "I just want to thank you...for everything." she smiled as she was fueling the fire with more shrubs.

"Look.." you pointed at the horizon, the sun was rising like the majestic thing it is. It sent light and warmth upon anything it touched. Perhaps a glimmer of hope trickles along these soothing lights?
>>1334150
good night anon

with everyone gone, i suppose i will go to sleep too. Goodnight everyone

>>1334167
With day so much shorter than night, coupled with relatively high temperatures, we can conclude this planet has very large axis tilt, or alternatively is closer to the sun and we are in high latitudes.
Since we know which system we are in, this should be enough for Espa to deduce which planet we're on.

>>1334817
We need a working probe for that according to >>1325624

Our distress beacon will be picked up by any ship going by three routes. Since there are three routes just in the area it may be a high traffic area of space, so we might have a decent chance of rescue.

>>1336238
High tilt planets are uncommon, so just having general astronomical info about the system should give us a good idea.

>>1334817
read

>>1325624
>>1329775

this system has 12 planets ranging from Tiren Cala I to Tiren Cala XII, where XII is the only colonized planet. The rest are mostly untouched by man. One can assume that Tiren Cala XII is at the very edge of the system.
According to how short the day us combined with what you have already said, the probe has managed to deduce where we are planet-wise. We are currently in Tiren Cala III.

>>1336313
Shit. How did I miss it.

the day has just started but Jack is more or less exhausted from trekking in the dark and stepping into the anomaly zone.

what would you like him to do?

>>1336348
Well, let tired jack get some sleep.

>>1321701
you needed some rest. Thankfully the rests can also be modified as bed eating up a bit more space in the pod.

The pod AI addressed you "Sir, would you like me to wake you up in a specific time?"

>Yes, wake me up after ___ hours [It is 0:06 at the moment]
>No, I will wake up by myself
>other



i would like to apologize, Ironically, I fell asleep; i was too tired since i only slept 3 hours yesterday, now i feel much better

>>1336358
>>1336735

>>1336735
>>Yes, wake me up after ___ hours [It is 0:06 at the moment]
8 hours.

>>1336757
8 Hours, the perfect length for a good nights rest.

>>1336757
"Very good sir," Espa has dimmed the light a tad bit. It was time for a shuteye...
.
.
.


You woke up by the sound of roaring thunder outside, rather than the monotonous voice of the pod's AI. Taylor was glued to the screen, she wore the suit's headpiece. you could hear some awful buzzing sounds radiating from Taylor's headset.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbhCeWtX9sg

"what time is it?"

"7:46...ssh..." The doctor hushed you, she was writing notes in her Geola. Espa projected itself and spoke with you in a barely audible voice.

"Sir, We have received an unknown transmission at 3:46 . Mostly incomprehensible but according to the madam, It may have a repeating pattern. Whatever it is, It has responded to our signal. The location of the said transmission is unknown, sir. The madam has confirmed that some of this transmissions are centuries old. "
The AI paused for a moment flickering for a bit "The transmission started along with the black thunder outside"

>Espa, shut down the signal, i don't trust whatever this is on the other side
>Say something to Taylor
>Say something to Espa
>Gear up, start exploring outside
>other

>>1336834
Indeed.
>>1336864
Uh, I don't know what references to do for this situation.
>>Say something to Espa/Taylor
Ask the others if there's been precedence to situations like this before.
>Ask if there's any leads we can follow to the transmission.
Spooky, we'll need some time to consider this.

>>1336885
Could the lightning be an side effect of the unknown broadcast? If the signal is powerful enough it can cause em fields to bisect the higher stratosphere and the planet, causing large lightning strikes to form.
Damn, haven't used my brain since college.

>>1336864
Ask Espa if there is a pattern in the lightning strikes, and what could be causing them to be that color.

>>1336907
>>1336916
All I can think of is that astronaut space tabletop game on Steam where you have to roll a bunch of dice on a failing ship until your crew gets to Mars.

>>1336916
>Ask Espa if there is a pattern in the lightning strikes, and what could be causing them to be that color.
"Espa, analysis. See if we can trace the IP of the caller on this audiogram."

>>1336907
>>1336885
"Processing...." Espa flickered for a moment "Negative,sir. The strikes seems to be random but more focused in Gravitational Anomaly Number 0001. More input is required for further processing..."

Taylor couldn't think of something like this before neither did Espa. The doctor stopped her attempts in total frustration "I KNOW there is a pattern for these transmissions...i just...It is too complex for me to crack it. I am just a doctor not a military grad..."

Her despair morphed into a trickle of joy "Jack, Jack, there were over 531 shipments in the Merhal. Some might help us! Our company ships different objects through the galaxy; from desk decorations to experimental weaponry...this is it!"

>Come on Taylor, there is no way the shipments have survived the crash
>We should try to find as much as we can
>We shouldn't risk time and effort to find these shipments if they exist in the first place
>other

>>1336981
Well, it doesn't matter. Until the storm is over it is too dangerous to go exploring.

If we shut off the emergency beacon, would the unknown signal stop too?

>>1336981
>"Jack, Jack, there were over 531 shipments in the Merhal. Some might help us! Our company ships different objects through the galaxy; from desk decorations to experimental weaponry...this is it!"
>from desk decorations to experimental weaponry
So wait, are we in Cast Away now? Are we Space!FedEx?

>>1336981
>>We should try to find as much as we can
>But we'll need to get our priorities straight and make sure all our necessities are taken care of first.

>>1337006
pretty much. That is why most of the ship was automated. they are simply shipping from point A to point B. I won't be surprised if the shipping company was forced to have human crew in their ships in the first place.

>>1337021
>>1337006
>>1337000
So how long before our ship is washed away, we're reduced to our loincloths, and we start talking to a volleyball embedded with Espa's AI?

>>1337000
>>1337006
"Shutting down beacon...." Moments later, all the unknown chattering has stopped. It was a moment of respite for certain.

In the meantime, you and Taylor had a decent meal together. Two days worth of food and water were almost gone. The thought of another water and food supply became a tad more urgent as time passed on.

A black bolt of lightning has struck very close to the pod, the thunder itself had shaken the pod a tiny bit.

The AI flickered for a second "Warning, hig-BZZZZTTTT " A bolt of lightning had indeed struck the pod, Luckily none of you were hurt as the pod is insulated from inside. The lights inside shined like the sun for a moment before everything went black.

>Attempt to reboot the ship's AI
>Do nothing for the moment
>Say something to Taylor
>Other
>>1337054
heh.

i would rewatch it sometime

>>1337085
Well shit.
>Say something to Taylor
Hope you're not afraid of the dark.
then
Shut everything off, and wait till the storm is over.
We should try to collect the rain next time.

>>1337085
>>1337106
2nded. Safety first, having electronics up will just make it conduct more of the lightning strikes and risk further damage.

>>1337085
>i would rewatch it sometime
Indeed.

>>1337106
>>1337159
The Two of you stayed in the dark for about a whole hours before the lighting outside would subside. It was safe to reboot the system.

One of the four projectors was busted during the strike, Espa appeared to be glitching "Assessing damage....Damage:Unknown. Hello, sirs." The AI made a laggy wave.

"Espa, are you alright?" Asked Taylor

"I am not certain, sir, I am detecting 6421% increase in our powersupply. " The projection kept glitching.

>Say something to Espa
>Say something to Taylor
>Gear up, continue exploring
>other

>>1337230
>6421% increase in our powersupply
Oh boy, the system's overloading right now.
>>Say something to Espa/Taylor
Is there a way to reduce your power draw to reduce the chances of you overloading your system? Are your anti-overloading fuses and switches in good order?

>>1337230
>>1337255
We should get ready to activate the shutdown protocol again before she risks overloading.

>>1337230
Lets hope our battery thing doesn't explode.
>Gear up, continue exploring
Lets not stay in here, just in case.

We have respirators and the planet is temperate. You could just shut everything off and ride out the storm, the ship is grounded (literally) so just turning everything off should save you from frying any more circuits.

>>1337255
Espa took a while to respond " There is no protocol regard this error, sir. I am unable to process a solution fo-r this problem at the moment, sir. "

The projection disappeared for a moment before coming back again " I will activate every possible functio-n, sir" A second later, the spotlights were on and you could hear a small rumbling in the bathroom. The music was on too "I am unable to be shut down, sir. This function is corrupted."

"Shit," Taylor muttered. For the moment,You urged her to go out with you for the second time. This time, she agreed with you.


>pick a cardinal direction+ for how long.

>>1337335
>Check to see if the distress beacon is undamaged. Manually if you have too.

If it is undamaged, disconnect it so it doesn't BECOME damaged. Again, manually if we have to (disconnecting it physically.)

The same goes for our power generator. Because the beacon is useless without power.

>>1337335
Back to the Gravitic Anomolie 0001, map the edges. We might get enough information to triangulate its center.

>>1337366
If we're getting a centuries old transmission then no matter what speed that signal is going, unless it's SIGNIFICANTLY slower than light speed, it's coming from fairly far away.

>>1337361
>>1337366
wait for the other anon, unless you want me to roll staight away

>>1337335
>>1337361
>>1337366
So we'll have to force a shutdown to them off, which probably isn't good for the AI.
2nded turning off the essentials to our escape though.
>Ask Espa what power draw is now that every function is on.
Getting more info from the transmission might just be the key to someplace around here.

>>1337400
>>1337417
>If the power draw is still too high, then force shutdown stuff before more lightning happens.

>>1337417
"At full capacity usage, The energry consumiption is 5% per hour, sir. " The AI lost its lip syncing in the second half of the sentence. "We are to lose all power in 80 Tiren Cala days."

Even if the battery can store so much energy, the possible overheating problem in the future might be disastrous. For the moment, everything seemed the be fine. The beacon was built in inside the pod. Neither you nor Taylor are technical enough to dissect through layers of platings and wires to extract it. The power generator however, was accessible but none was properly equipped to handle it even with the suits on.

The two of you went outside for a moment, there were various puddles of black water, at the first glance, one might mistake any puddle for some oil. The outer layer of the pod was completely black and charred. You were luckily that the damage didn't extend inwards.


>Go and explore with Taylor [please specify]
>Say something to Espa
>Bottle up all the strange black water nearby
>other

>>1337541
i should mention that the power generator/battery has outlets to recharge various electrical instruments.


dont be shy to ask me questions!

>>1337541
Lets try to discharge the electricity into the ground.
We'll have to limit the amount of outflow, but it should work.

>>1337555
>dont be shy to ask me questions!
Got it, thanks.

>>1337541
>"At full capacity usage, The energry consumiption is 5% per hour, sir. " The AI lost its lip syncing in the second half of the sentence. "We are to lose all power in 80 Tiren Cala days."
That's not a lot of time, we should fix this problem ASAP.

>>1337541
>>Say something to Espa
Tell Espa we're going out to fix her overloading and shutdown-inability problem.
>>1337580
2nded, get rid of the source of the problem.
>>1337541
>>Bottle up all the strange black water nearby
Gets rid of electrical discharge into the water and we can study it later.

>>1337555
>>1337621
Tell Espa to limit the electrical outflow to the outside power outlets, then take some power cords plug them in and place the other end in the water.
Limit is to stop the battery form exploding from the sudden drain. We should route the power through nonessential areas incase the limit is excedded.

>>1337674
>then take some power cords plug them in and place the other end in the water.
>in the water.
You sure it's safe to have an electrical discharge in the water? Shouldn't we just ground it in some dirt nearby instead?
2nded for telling her to limit it to prevent explosive sudden drains though.

>>1337674
>>1337580
>>1337621
"Affirmative sir."

Fortunately, there were some cables for this occasion inside the pod, you hooked it to the outlet and went outside.

Taylor has bottled up the black water in the empty bottles while you dragged the cable to the nearest puddle and dropped the cable in it, the water sh-
.
.
.

You woke up with a terrible pain in your back, currently, you were resting on the side of the pod, some parts of the your suit were charred. Apparently discharging high voltage like that wasn't a good idea, the end of the cable exploded when touching this water of unknown properties. You might have died had it not been for your suit. Then again, the outflow might have been alright but this unknown water reacted violently to the surge electricity.


The last possibility is that Espa might not have adjusted the flow as you ordered it to do so...


"Jack, Jack, Are you alright?" Taylor rushed towards you the moment she heard the ruckus behind her.


>just give me some painkillers and i will be ok.
>I am fine. thank fuck we have another one of those cables
>i think i might broke something
>other

>>1337695
Well, it just stormed, everything is wet. As long as we're not in the water also, it should be ok. Lets hope the soil quality is right though.

>>1337706
Looks like we fried an outlet, lets try it backward.
Place end of cable first, then we plug it up.
In the meantime
>other
>Mother is that you? I'm coming mother.
>Ouch

>>1337706
>>1337734
2nded for cheekyness.
>>I am fine. thank fuck we have another one of those cables
>>i think i might broke something
>>1337708
>>1337734
If everything's wet, couldn't we try heating up the area with a fire to dry it out before grounding the electrical discharge, then?

>>1337757
Damp ground discharges it better, If the soil doesn't have enough "salts" in it, it would have trouble discharging anyway. But, lets try discharging it later. We need to recover.

>>1337771
It might not discharge it as well, but wouldn't it be safer for controlling the surface area of where the electricity can move instead of accidentally discharging our suit? We still have 50 Earth days before full power runs out.

>>1337771
>>1337780
In addition, Espa might have a problem with controlling the outflow so we might have to manually limit it ourselves anyways.

>>1337780
Might be safer. I only have a theoretical knowledge of electricity. I don't actually have any experience messing with it, cause, electricity and electronics don't like me.
>>1337797
Resistors, lots of resistors then.

>>1337734
>>1337757
"you are a big baby."Taylor was mildly annoyed from your snarky reply but she cracked a smile or two, she helped you to get up. She checked on your back in the pod; nothing has broken; only two uncomfortable bruises, thats all.

You asked Espa how much power did the pod lost, according to it, it was a measly 45%. Well, it isnt bad but it the cost of on functioning cable, this reward didn't seem to be appealing.

It was 10:20 by then. Still pitch black outside, only few more hours for the dawn.


>Gear up, head outside to explore
>Chill inside the pod and listen to some classical music
>Say something to Espa/Taylor
>other


>>1337757
we have the heatlamps and we can easily set some fire

>>1337815
I have basic electrical engineering training from high school and occasionally tinkering with electronics in my spare time, so I'm speaking with more practical than theoretical knowledge at the moment. Practical being avoiding what happened at >>1337706 even if it's not efficient.
>>1337815
I don't think we have enough resistors for that right now. Does the ship even have any spares?

>>1337829
>but at the cost

whoops

>>1337836
both Taylor and jack are not technical enough to know. Do note that in the future, some skills will be a bit obsolete unless it is one's profession

>>1337836
They never taught anything interesting like that in my school. I've missed out.
>>1337847
Gotch ya.
Soldier and doctor, no electricians/engineers.

>>1337865
>They never taught anything interesting like that in my school. I've missed out.
Indeed. Although I should mention when I spoke from practical experience, I've had a fair few accidents because of inattentive or disinterested classmates. It's not a fun experience, especially if you're saddled up with one of them because no one else wants them. It is one of the things that taught me a great appreciation for safety procedures though, so there’s that. It helped that I followed them well enough the accidents that did happen weren't as worse as they could've been from other people.
>>1337847
>>1337865
What a shame, now we can't Isaac Clarke our way out of this.
How good is their knowledge on basic electrical safety though?

>>1337829
>Gear up, head outside to explore.
Well then, lets go and map that anomaly, and look for food.
>>1337926
Shit, ignorant people suck.

>>1337829
>You asked Espa how much power did the pod lost, according to it, it was a measly 45%. Well, it isnt bad but it the cost of on functioning cable, this reward didn't seem to be appealing.
So are we fine now or should we still keep trying to lower the discharge? How long until the next thunderstorm hits?
>>1337980
2nded. Let's hope we can find a lead on those shipments.

>>1337980
>Shit, ignorant people suck.
Absolutely. Good thing the partners we have are the competent type to pay attention, to my understanding.

>>1337980
>>1337926
With Taylor, you headed to the west where the anomaly zone was. You had to slow down a bit so the doctor can keep pace, even though you barely passed one mile to the west, she was a bit tired.

Some of the purple shiny metal scraps which was similar to the Yensa's anthill top or den was glowing and emitting a small tiny discharge every couple of minutes of so. How interesting. you also managed to mark yet another border of the anomaly zone.

"J-jack look!" You have no clue how did you miss it last time. A small lake steaming small bubble and warmth. The water itself was black but it was slightly clearer than the puddles from earlier.

It wasn't a surprise that you weren't tempted by this lake. In all honestly, both of you were starting to get rather...unclean and stinky. There was no shower in the pod. You were not sure it was a good idea to take a dip here. In all honestly this was the closest thing you came across as a place for a proper bath.

It's a bit past that for me, but I'm fine with it for now since we're having a decent discussion here between the 3 with the 3 of us.

>>1338111
What do these map markers represent?
White for pod? Purple for us? Black for gravity anomaly we found earlier?

>>1338149
our only options is to scavenge the ship's debris if we find any

Taylor has bottled up some but she haven't figured out what to do with them, the only thing i can think of is heating it.

whenever you wanna call it for today, just say so

white is pod
red is half a mile distance
purple is the yensa den

What a shame. I'll be sure to provide suggestions for safety later on then.
On further thought, if it's mostly automated then shouldn't Espa have operational safety instructions to give us then, or a manual somewhere in the ship?

>>1338183
>>>Suggest taking a bath in the warm lake
>In an uncharted and unknown area.
This is how we get parasites.

>>1338163
The Dr. should know basic chemistry, so lets get molecular.
Do we at least have a microscope?

Obviously we should test it first

>>1338163

>>1338183
With the EMR Tool, you heated a small cup of this black water, The water eventually evaporated leaving a Black residue

"What is this?" Curiosity overwhelmed Taylor as she scooped the residue from the cup. It was sand-like at first glance. It felt more of molten sugar rather than grains of sand. It didn't emit an odor but as soon as it remained dry in the air, its colour turned to green . It must have reacted to something in the air.

Probably, but we should consider that once we're out of this emergency situation.

>>1338325
>>1338335
The two of you kept walking in the north west direction, Taylor was getting more tired as well as you. Your throat was starting to feel more sore the more you inhaled more traces of chlorine. . Your stomach grumbled a bit, it was hunger but it might have to do with the minor exposure to radiation you took in last couple of days.

"Did you see something out there?" Taylor pointed her flashlight to the right, where the anomaly existed, even with the flashlight, your overall visibility was pretty much shit.

After clearing your throat,you squinted your eyes...Is that...?

It was indeed a container, a shipment of many. it was in perhaps the lowest area in the crater as if there was another mini crater in this one, it has half buried in the ground. there were zero vegetation around it. the ground seemed to be crackled and dry.

Is this map ok?

>>1338541
No clue, just recently started.

There is no reason to take a bath in the questionable water.

If we haven' t been cleaning ourselves since the crash then that's just retarded.

We have clean water in bottles AND the ship can purify our waste. (>>1329775)

All we literally had to do was wash ourselves with a washcloth and some water this entire time.

We technically don't have to worry about our water ration supply (the bottles of water) until the ship runs out of power.

And the only thing worth using the power for is the distress beacon so I say now that the storm is over:

>>1338409
>Other
>Turn the distress beacon back on - come for the container when it's lighter out.


(Run that puppy until there isn't any power. Pray someone picks up the signal.)

I'd also like to note that if that container is one of OUR shipments, that means the crashed main ship might not be far away from that vicinity and that would definitely be worth finding.

The main ship would have lots of usable stuff just with the extra escape pods alone.

Whatever survived the crash.

Looks fine, having labels for the markers is MUCH more helpful than having to refer to a proceeding post.
>>1338571
So are you a newfag to /qst/ and this is your first quest then?

>>1339099
I think the anon suggested as a partially joking, partially lewd response. He did say to test it first before trying to then continue exploring questionable water or bath with Taylor while the rest of our shit is still wrecked.
>>1339159
Certainly, but we're getting what we can first to help prep for the next disaster.

First, not really more like my 7th.
Just started bout a couple of weeks ago.
And I forgot to label the pod. Here it is with that label

Looks good to me. Has all the info we need.

>First, not really more like my 7th.
>Just started bout a couple of weeks ago.
So that's including all the quests you've been questing or lurking on, or have you been actually made that many these past couple of weeks that miserably failed before you got to this one?

>>1339317
Questing and lurking on, bout 13 in total.
I'm not counting ones that didn't make it one page.

But be careful of the changes in gravity.
Falling in 1g might not hurt us, but in higher g it will be more dangerous.

Shouldn't we come back later with more gear for excavation, if we have any?

>>1339325
Well that's a relief, it would be tragic if most of them were the failed upstarts.

>>1339580
Do we have a forklift or a excavator somewhere on the lifepod? I was not aware we had that kind of gear.

>>1339604
No idea, but we're a shipping company so we should have at least something that comes with that.

Failing to starta quest is almost arbitrary here on 4chan.

Unless you already have followers from previous quests, you could be an amazing writer and still get no responses, it's practically random what gets started and what doesn't.

Someone could decide to keep your thread alive single handedly at the beginning of the quest until it gets enough attention from bumps.

Or sometimes no one picks up on your quest except when you're sleeping, in other words the people who get interested in your quest are in a completely different timezone and so the quest goes wicked slow so you might as well not continue it.

Even people who are popular and have a following sometimes fail to have enough people show up - and those people announce their games ahead of time. (Like the Adventure Thing guy).

Pretty much the only safe way to start a quest and know for sure people are going to play it is if you have players already lined up and ready to go.

Or you can master opening lines/tricks that seem to work on /qst/


Like make options for character creation immediately, simple 'male or female' questions etc.

Stuff that anyone randomly clicking through new quests doesn't find hard to answer or commit to. And you do that for about two or three posts so that your game remains bumped long enough for people to actually know it exists.

So yah, long story short, even if OP failed 13 quests I wouldn't judge him at all. I could probably find at least two or three threads up RIGHT now that are amazing first posts that no one ended up playing.

The doctor was reluctant at first but she agreed to lend you a hand.

The two of you moved every slowly inside the anomaly zone, The container drew close with each step.

Finally, after great effort. You two reached the container, The container had a couple of dents but it was mostly okay. It was designed to be extremely resistant to almost everything. It was reasonable to having rather expensive prices for intergalactic shipping. It had another smaller container in it which is suspended by anti gravity field to ensure that the shipment inside remain unharmed. Thankfully, The doctor could still open the container; they lazily gave her all access despite her being only useful in the bio-sensitive section. At each end of the journey, the security measures were tight so it was almost impossible to steal anything.


you found....

>>1339703
Take the anti-gravity unit from the container. It can be used to help us move things or possibly as protection against the gravity anomalies if the field is large enough to encompass a person (maybe while crouching?)

Either way, I can't see it being anything but useful.

>>1339703
>Also a question for the Dr. Would the cryobeds also use similar technology? If yes we might be able to rescue crew from the crashed ship.

Because I have no idea what keeps them frozen, if it requires power, or if it has some backup power or whatever, who knows. And if their containers are just as durable, and they have anti-grav protecting their bodies, we might have a whole crew of survivors.

....a set of clothes for what seemed to be a fashion show , they had this neon lining with a plethora of colours. Neither you nor Taylor were thrilled by it.

You read the order details, it said the following:

Sent to
1242 Filstore,
Fangreeen,
Tiren Cala XII


What can i say? the designer is too paranoid to use cheaper means of shipping or else someone will '''steal''' her fabulous designs. who the hell would design both summer AND winter collection at the same time???

Well, she is rolling the money in the company so i can't be too bitchy about it. Store the winter collection somewhere safe, alright?
