You are stranded on an alien planet
« on: May 17, 2013, 06:34:01 pm »

I've been wanting to run a suggestion game, so I decided to make this. As you can tell form the name, it's a sci-fi game where you are stranded, and you must survive.

Warning. Thruster systems failing. Life support failing. Material condenser failing. Communication lines failing. Engaging emergency sub-sonic flight pattern... Blast engine failing. Engaging atmospheric flight... Sub-atmospheric flight failing.
 The synthesized voice on the loudspeaker continued to drone out the long list of broken systems to me. I ran for the escape pods on my one-man transport ship, but as I jabbed at the button, the eerily false voice informed me that the pods, like everything else on this worthless piece of junk, weren't working. The ship kept sailing towards a small planet. I wasn't sure what happened at the time, but it was wreaking havoc on my craft. The one thing that WAS working on the ship was surpassingly useless in my dire straits. The planetary scanner was still alive and kicking, if barely. I decided to take a look at the planet, to see where I was headed. The following information of the various planets within range were as follows:

Select your planet
A) Some plant life, low water, possible signs of sentient life
B)No visible plant life, no visible water, no signs of life, large amounts of caverns found, overabundance of seismic activity.
C)Abundance of algae, aquatic planet, large amounts of fish
D) Small amount of plant life, very little water, world covered by desert, several forms of non-primitive life.
E)Planet overgrown, no visible non-plant surface, definite tribal sentient.


I might as well start with myself, now that you know my plight. My name is *DATA CORRUPTED*, and for a living...

Select your profession
A)I was a miner
B)I farmed and ranched
C)I kept track of financial records for a metallurgy company.
D)I transported several goods between planets.
E)I moved the less-than-legal goods to those willing to pay plenty.
F)I headed a gang of thugs, the Krimsin Star
G)I took from whoever forgot to triple-secure every entrance to the their home and fenced it off.


The ship is about to enter the mesosphere of the planet, so I can't right much more for now.

Dying of laughter?
Dying of pure unbridled hatred, actually.

Hax Don again. The craft's crashed on the surface of the jungle planet. There's not too much that's still of any use. I did manage to access the last few days of records. What happened is odd, to say the least. A wave of some unidentified type of radiation hit me, and melted all but a handful of the circuits. I managed to steer the ship into a small clearing, and braced for impact, so some of the outer hull is still intact. There's no hope of fixing it, but it can serve as a temporary shelter. Several of the trees plants seem to bear various fruits, but I wouldn't be surprised if several were poisonous. As far as animals go, it seems to resemble a tropical region of Earth. I saw several tribal creatures as I entered orbit, but as to where they are in relation to myself, I've got no idea.

Determine if any of the ship's systems survived.

See if we can ID the flora.
