force  feed valkium to one of the blacks

But Jim, they're dead!
Considering the nature of Valkium, I am not so sure things will stay that way

OK, I am putting down a rule here: Valkium isn't the answer to everything. It'll have to be creative. Valkium will never bring people back from the dead in a normal way. It'll do something insane first.

Even not if it is the last thing you'd want to happen?

I just don't want it to be a thing to fill plot holes. I want it to have drawbacks. For example, say you just used a kilo of Valkium to power your car, it might be better, but it has an greater chance of making the car turn into Satan.

Now that you have taken most of the valkium out, it's kinda collapsing.

guard: scrap all parts of the ruins.
emily: continue searching in the area around the ruins for other signs of life
valk: check out our new spaceship(get speceifications)
us: forage wetlands plant samples. bring a gun

There doesn't seem to be many, but you discovered a plant that explodes when you touch it.

You get 100 from the ruins.

There isn't any sign of life near the ruins.

The spaceship is a model 339A with ultralightening engines. It would probably go at a speed exceeding what is physically possible.

The pathway is now a road! Hurray.

Small one, though it caused a lot of burns. Oddly enough, you didn't see around until now...

Hmm. Valkium poisoning?

Valk download the medical data, and notes that the specimen is contaminated with Valkium. This does not bode well.

Guard redefines turret so that it shoots anybody but the current crew.

Scarer gets 398 water/food.

Captain makes five quarters in the shelter.

Soldier says that the wetlands is a horrible place to build something, but it'll have to do until you get a better fuel then coal.

Drone 1 considers this, then a failsafe comes on.

Drone 2 finds two coal veins.

Drone 3 finds nothing apart from the radioactive material and Valkium.

Blacks attempt to escape, but due to being mutated, suddenly become part of the landscape and die.

Another drone has been made, called Danny.

You make a smelter!
