John will go find some strong vines, and a roughly 3" inch diameter, 2' foot long thick stick. He will then use the strong vines and thick stick with the flint, to make a handaxe!

Try to find an open clearing. Mark out the dimensions for a long hall to house us, when we have the lumber to build. Keep the fox around, foxes are cool.

John will go find some strong vines, and a roughly 3" inch diameter, 2' foot long thick stick. He will then use the strong vines and thick stick with the flint, to make a handaxe!
3: You find a few weak vines, but realize this is a forest, not a jungle. The best you come up with is some weak vines, a few longer leaves, a 2 foot long stick, and the flint you had. With a bit of [5] ingenious crafting, you put it together into a two-sided tool- one side resembling an axe, while the other resembles a digging tool to help take out roots. You then go yell at the lazy politician.

Set the comfy chair down and sit on it, observing the others.
2: Like a lazy man, you just sit there and watch the others work. The lumberjack with an axe comes at you and yells at you to be useful.

Look around the area. Are there any animals or people nearby?

1: Suddenly, you are struck by something. It feels like something socked you in the stomach, and you fall over. You look up a minute later to see that a small flying, feathered animal accidentally flew into you. That hurt. It flutters away, and you shake your fist at it before getting up.

Try to find a mining tool, or some method to acquire one.
5: You find a small pile of flint, and a few sticks nearby. With a bit of ingenuity, you could probably fashion a pick.

"Alright...spread out, try not to get lost. Come back here in an hour or so, we'll share what we've discovered."

Survey. Don't get lost. Return in an hour or so.
1: You don't get anything done, and start retching. Hmm, seems like the sudden change in between the low gravity of space and the heavy gravity of the biosphere has confused your stomach.

Go exploring a bit, try to find some animals or plants.
4: You find a large green plant with a jaw like top, that you feel like you don't want to put your hand in. You're proven right when it decides to eat some random fly that flies by. Ugh...

Use my trusty guide to acquire edible berries, and use them to tame the ferret.
5: You find a huge bush of a curious black-blue berry, that you discover is a blueberry, and the book says they look ripe. You pick a few and feed it to the ferret, who gladly gulps it down, then starts climbing up the outside of your pant leg.

Try to find an open clearing. Mark out the dimensions for a long hall to house us, when we have the lumber to build. Keep the fox around, foxes are cool.
5: You manage to find a large, oval-like clearing, and use sticks to put out a large area in which might look like a house with a little work. The fox looks cuter than ever, and seems to be taking a liking to the fact that you are working hard on this.

Explore the surrounding area, eating a blueberry and giving another one to my ferret friend along the way.

Stand on the comfy chair. Make a rousing speech (detailed below)

"My friends, through will and luck we managed to arrive in this lost biosphere, and though that in and of itself is cause of celebration, we have work to do. Through hard labour and ingenuity we must carve secure lodgings for ourselves, ere the beasts get hungry. Furthermore, a democracy must be established, like in the days old, before we were forced to leave Earth. We will forge a new civilization, by ourselves if need be! The light of democracy shall shine ever onwards as long as we are there to carry it!"

((Guys! we are ALL at the same location!!!....

GM, can you make a map of the biodome, or at least what we've discovered? Use paint or something, if you would. Oh, and put our locations on it too, please.))

Chop down as many trees as I can in one turn before I tire, around the rocky hill I've discovered.

I'll do a map, but you must use other means to locate players than via map. Map will be in the morning. Am too tired now.

The map. Lighter green stands for places without trees. Darker green is where the trees are. You might be asking "Where's the small mountain someone saw", well, that's because no one has explored into that area. The light gray is a "Fog", or the area you have not explored. The entry point is the small green bit near the edge. The clearing is where the foundations for the hut are.

Wait for Westings to chop down trees, play with fox in the meantime.
5: The fox is everything you've every hoped for in an animal. Inquisitive, yet not stupid enough to get himself into danger. Wary, but not too wary to not be curious. And very, very cute. He enjoys playing tug-of-war with a vine with you, and then bounces after you happily when you decide to check on the lumberjack. You discover a clearing with a bunch of wood and long grass piled up, and a few men who were on the pods with you standing by, so you decide to join them.

Fashion myself a proper pickaxe!
4: The pick turns out to be of -Fine- quality, and you think you could quite reasonably tear up some rocks. Oh, the rocks. How you hate them so. How you want to destroy every single one of them with your new pick-axe and turn them into useful things.

Find long grass or long leaves.

3: You practically trip over a clump of long grass as you turn to go look for some. However, you have crushed some of the delicate stalks, and it will take you a while to weave these over the hut's roof. You pick quite a bit and place it into the center of the soon-to-be-hut (Which is now a shared resources pile).

((Guys! we are ALL at the same location!!!....

GM, can you make a map of the biodome, or at least what we've discovered? Use paint or something, if you would. Oh, and put our locations on it too, please.))

Chop down as many trees as I can in one turn before I tire, around the rocky hill I've discovered.
6: You manage to devastate 3 trees, getting you a total of 60 logs. If this axe was any better, you might be able to chop down more trees. You bring the logs to the building site, before collapsing from exhaustion.

Damn. Look around for the others.
2: You feel rather silly looking around for the others again, considering they're standing right next to you, but you do it anyways.

Stand on the comfy chair. Make a rousing speech (detailed below)

"My friends, through will and luck we managed to arrive in this lost biosphere, and though that in and of itself is cause of celebration, we have work to do. Through hard labour and ingenuity we must carve secure lodgings for ourselves, ere the beasts get hungry. Furthermore, a democracy must be established, like in the days old, before we were forced to leave Earth. We will forge a new civilization, by ourselves if need be! The light of democracy shall shine ever onwards as long as we are there to carry it!"

3: You try to deliver them a good speech, but now the captain himself comes over and yells at you. You're starting to feel less certain about how these politics are gonna help you fill your stomach.

Get over it. Also try to explore.
4: You go over to the politician and yell at him for a moment, before deciding to wander off. You find the lumberjack holding a way too heavy load of about 5 logs, explaining that this is his last trip, and he's chopped more than enough to build a house. A house is just what the team needs, so you help him carry it over to the house.

Explore the surrounding area, eating a blueberry and giving another one to my ferret friend along the way.

"I'm going to name you Charlie!"
6: The ferret enjoys the blue-berry, and you find some more bushes. One of them has berries that the book lists as poisonous to human, but fine to normal forest animals, so you also feed that to the ferret, who instantly recognizes the berry and runs in a little circle on the ground in excitement. You also find more blueberry bushes, and gather all you (and your pockets) can hold. You also eat a few berries yourself.
