After a few seconds of sitting around, your attention is drawn to the hissing noise. That doesn't sound good, actually- You're fairly sure that you didn't include anything that should be hissing like that where you're at.
You step out of your climate controlled chamber, and immediately notice a faint sulferous tang to the air. You frown, and track the sound back to it's source- One of the air reprocessing pipes has burst, and the air it is pumping through itself smells like rotten eggs. You quickly hunt down a patch to cover the broken section of pipe- And when you can't find something intended for the job, a bit of duct tape and some fast drying plastic from the fabricator's stores makes an acceptable substitute.
Once you finish, you head to the control room just off of the stasis chambers. If that pipe had ruptured, then what other damages had occured in the meanwhile? You pause as you pass the other chambers. There is a loud thumping, almost as if-
You look into one of the chambers, and find one of your fellow colonists beating on the button that is supposed to release his restraints frantically. You blink, step back out, and make your way to mission control. Where is it... Ah!
You hit the mechanical override switch labeled for passenger restraints. How fortunate you'd noticed- If your fellow passengers had been left for too much longer, they probably would have suffocated or something.
As you look the control room over, something strikes you. The security cameras that are SUPPOSED to be hooked up to here are almost all offline. The three that aren't are the feed for the control room, and two for outside of the ship. Looking more closely at the feed from outside, you wince- The Icarus, it seems, decided to crash-land in a lake. A relatively large lake, at that. You're going to need to fabricate some boats to get to shore.
"DAMN IT DAMIEN," Ah. And there's your partner in this venture, the brilliant Ms. Amelia Tesla. "You couldn't let us out sooner? I thought I was going to die!"
[] Well, there was a distinct possibility of death from the very start, so you're not quite sure what she is complaining about- But you think it's probably best if you apologise anyway.
[] These video feeds are broken, and Amy was always better with electronics then you were- So she can go ahead and fix them, while you go check on the kitchens and make sure that they're okay.
[] Hey, are those dark shapes moving in the water outside? Huh, so there's almost certainly native fauna here. Do you think they could be edible, Amy?
[] Now that everyone's alright, it's time to send that message home. Preface- Dear doubters, this is why you can suck it~
