I want to through my hat into grab and go. There is no rewards without a risk.

After a quick internal argument about traps and such you have Rabbit help you carry the heavy transmitter and tell Bulb to carry back one of those rocks then make a break for it. If this thing is here then you might not be alone on this island.

Rabbit had to ditch his club so you could carry everything but you're planning on coming back anyway.



When you return to the camp you are greeted by some new faces and a sunset. It seems like in the hours you were gone the new guys decided to not just sit around and wait. It seems like they did some arts and crafts using stuff around the camp site. They also killed some crabs and donated one of them to Mother, the others are sitting by the fire and look like they have been chewed on.

I realized TopHat suggested earlier about exploring to the east. I think that suggestion implanted itself into my brain so even though I forgot about it I later did it anyway.

TopHat get out of my head.

[Detoxicated]

Eat food and greet the newcomers.
Also I feel it is time to experiment with the weird body parts. For now ask about these creatures. Also ask about how mother plant produces them plant guys.

[LordPorkins]

Weeeee should probably start looking into alternative food sources. The bars are waterproof, rot proof, and probably a whole bunch of other proofs. We should be saving them for emergancys

Very small samples, I'd say. If we eat something and get real sick, we could be in trouble. We could burn through our good food quicker if we are laid up and unable to be productive.

Anyway for tomorrow:

I don't feel safe keeping that beacon around camp. If any of the plant dudes has enough of our skillset to disassemble the damn thing. If not, we can stay up a bit and tackle the project tomorrow night. I'm sure it has some parts we can use for something interesting.

Head back to the acid pond. Bring two Plantmen with us. Leave one to guard mother, feed it any crabs that wander by, and if possible dissassemble the heavy transmitter. Send out the remaining two to explore as they see fit, and report back to us in the evening.

Clear out any rhino resistance at the pond. Make sure bulb and his knife is in our group for the fight. If Bulb is the only one who can disassemble the transmitter, have him give the knife to somebody else.

See if we have the means to make a makeshift bridge to the middle island. If not, I'm willing to bet our suit can handle the swim if need be. See if the mother like plant there will take a blood offering.

Electronics is a special kind of delicate object that you probably should do yourself.
We do not want it destroyed, what we should do is try to figure out where the signal come from, if the one who built this is a friend or foe.

You've got some time before you need to sleep. Firstly you eat and drink, you offset having to eat your finite ration bars by eating some of the crab that the new guys found. You don't manage to eat much of it but you do manage to save a bar (-2 ration bars). When you are done with it Bulb eats the rest of the crab. You've never seen any of the plantmin eat before, it's a bit surprising. You introduce yourself to the new plantmin as you eat, they jabber with their plant gibberish, they don't know any of your words yet so communication is difficult.

Once you've eaten you do some preliminary work on the antenna from the peak. Firstly you remove the actual transmission equipment just in case and search the inside for clues. You find some markings on the inside which identify the thing as a short range T.P.S transmitter, whatever that is. It also has a 5 year warranty and should be kept away from children. The logo from the case is printed on all the parts. You might be able to power it up and see what it was transmitting but you'd have to hook it up to a new power source. It looks like it used to be powered wirelessly like all of the survival equipment so you might be able to hook it up to your own wireless energy network.

While you were working on that Mask took the new guys out to gather some materials. It seems like Mask has seniority over them.

You hear a loud noise overhead.



You see two objects entering the atmosphere and coming towards the island. They look a lot like ships and that does not at all look like a controlled reentry.



You see the smaller ship crash up the beach with an incredible thump. You can hear and feel the impact of the larger ship but don't know where it went down. The plantmin are panicking a lot.

The Plantmin formerly known as New guy will now be referred to as mask. Also I'm going to call them plantmin since we have gone way to long without consistent naming.

Also the wireless energy network is the lore for why everything has a glowing antenna on it. Gotta have that lore.

[Ultimuh]

Arm yourself and the plantmins, then go investigate eastwards.

I'd send out our stealthiest Plantmin to do a lap around the island heading west to see if the other ship can be spotted, but otherwise, +1

[LordPorkins]

Bring all medical /makeeshift medical stuff we have. Hopefully someone survived. And hopefully they're a woman. Because all of these plant guys seem male

I don't even think they have genders though. Just an observational comment.

[TopHat]

+1, though make a few torches first and bring them with us. How good is the plantmins' night-vision?
I'm slightly worried about leaving the camp unattended, but there's nothing for it.

TopHat get out of my head.

Consider it done.

[Coolrune206]

Let's head east, but allow me to offer an alternative. Let us do so via the water, walking along the bottom. After all, our suit is airtight, and I feel we might make some discoveries about the local aquatic fauna and flora if we do so. Who knows; we might find some great food. Or we might be shark'd.

You rally the Plantmin and get ready to rescue/investigate the crash down the beach. As a former navy quartermaster you of all people know that you have to aid any spacefarer in need. You quickly prep some crude torches and get everyone armed, spacefarers can be jerks sometimes. You only wish you had some medical equipment with you, instead you make sure to bring your grenade, just in case.



You arrive at the crash site with your entourage. From the darkness around the ship you can spot some aliens moving around. You recognize the emblem on the ship as that of the Grabbers. You are pretty sure they are a pirate gang, or maybe political dissidents, or some military? Well your flotilla shot at them when you were in the navy at least. The ship looks reasonably intact, but the area is being flooded with fiery machine noises coming from the inside.

The Plantmin don't seem to be able to see in the dark any better then you, but you can tell the only reason they havn't gone to sleep is because of the excitement.

You have an hour's worth of air before you have to head back.

I went a little crazy and made one bigger image, if it's real annoying let me know. Also guess who looked at the 1st page and remembered that the character is Mandy Milford: Quartermaster. I was wondering why I decided that starting equipment included a grenade.
