jump on the rover and start looking for the sensor systems, if found attempt to locate the others then walk outside and wait for my crate to reach me before storing it on the rover.
((congratulations on getting free by the way.))
((
The rover literally looks like a rover.))
Except its about the length and width of an armoured personnel carrier. It has hydraulic shocks and lowers itself to waist height when you're loading it, and is a little under seven feet tall when you're driving. Its not meant to be ridden but it can handle all of you without any problems. The solar panel is instead replaced by a rubber deck that you can lock cargo onto. The control panel is located on the forward left edge of the 'deck'. You can program it to go places without your constant input, and you can also program it to perform and repeat actions daily, such as waiting at certain locations and at specific times, only returning when fully loaded, taking indicated routes, etc. Power is a non-issue. It can operate indefinitely, and you don't need to leave it outside in the daytime either since its reactor is not solar. You can buy more/different rovers from the MRU, or alter them with Modules.
If the rover was to the scale that I indicated, and an average human male was standing in this picture, he would just barely rise above the deck.The rover doesn't seem to have any sensor systems. Thats unfortunate.
Hey, good job mate. Now, can you please get the rest of my stuff. And maybe help the other guy down too, if possible.
Speaking into the radio, he continued:"I got out the tree. Where's the rest of you guys, we'd better meet up soon. Watch out for the vines, they just crushed my pod."
Send the droid back up to get my stuff. And the other guy, should he be unable to get down on his own. Then help pushing the pod over
What do you picture him looking like (smooth humanoid body shell or a blocky industrial one)? Do you want to keep the personality I've already given him? He can be more human if you like, with two legs and logical processes and his own free will and such and he'll become essentially another player (he'll still obey you, theres no chance of rebellion) or he can remain mindless. Also, what colour should his dialogue be?
Directive confirmed! He leaps easily back up onto the branch you were only recently perched upon and it bends dangerously beneath his weight. The droid ducks out of view for a moment and then launches back into it, landing gracefully at your feet and unceremoniously dumping Leon and the pack into the dirt before beaming at you proudly.
Climb down and go back to my pod
"Mind having robot man give me a hand with my pod? It's the wrong way up and I wanna get my equipment out before something else tries to kill one of us."
Before you've even hit the dirt the bot has already kicked your pod over and grabbed your gear. He tosses it roughly into your chest and the force of the impact sends you sliding across the ground. You lie there in the dust for a moment, stunned.

While Zalud plays with his new tech toys, Kyle loads the Structure Modules onto the rover.
"Right, let's see if we can find the others. And then we should try and find somewhere to set up our base camp."
You clamber onto the deck of the Rover and find that the Modules have already been loaded on and are locked in place by cargo clamps, except for one, which is set aside from the others and has an odd black stripe running along the centre of it. It has a large glowing panel set into the top of it, unlike the others which merely have a small twisting toggle in its place. Thats rather odd.
Pry the door off the cryopod/activate the lever that opens the door, then back away ~15 meters and take out laser pistol and knife.
You pull the lever and step away from the door, prepared for the worst. The grind of ancient locking mechanisms sliding out of place echoes through your helm speakers and you tighten your grip on your weapon. The noise halts and the door falls away just as abruptly, landing on the ground with a resounding clunk. A misty vapour wafts from the interior of the pod, revealing a large naked man with solid features and a hawkish stare. He steps from the confines of the pod and silently draws to his full height, his entire body covered with massive bulging muscles. You suddenly notice that he's staring at you.
