1602 GREENHEART TIME, MAY 21st, 301 P.L
ERROR: FAILED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TIME SERVER.
Mark Johns'son (Pencil_Art):The ship sits in a sort of depression, although it's unclear if it sunk over time or if the ship survived an impact that left a crater. You do know that none of the stasis pod parachutes engaged, and all of them fell out of the ship at some point and stuck into the ground at various angles. The pods are all several meters from the ship.
What's clear is that the shuttle did not scrape over the surface much at all. It came at a steep angle.

[3] The friends list won't open! Fortunately, one of the players is quite willing to provide you with information...
"Yeah, the update is pretty gnarly. They revamped the UI for full immersion, no menus, no friend lists, just unadulterated realism. Oh and here's the real kicker, if you die you die in real life too."
"Oh and doing a Swahili rain dance can help generate rare loot, so you might want to get cracking on that."
"Yeah, and you see that bald guy over there, cueball? He's a bugged NPC everything he says is bullshit so don't listen to him."

[4] You broadcast a signal, hopefully identifying this shuttle to the other survivors, should they be awake. It looks from the data on the blackbox that the ship that the pods were only awoken because their onboard battery was low. They were separated from their docks after all. Perhaps that data will be useful in tracking down how this ship crashed.
Within a minute, you manage to get another response, this time via text.
Shuttle G19, this is Ricardo Graves from shuttle G2. I got the radio working but there are no supplies. Mind sharing if you got any? I'm solo here.
We should try to figure out our locations. The shipbrain says we're 352 meters apart. If we get more shuttles in on this we can try to pinpoint their locations too, but we need to find each other in this storm first.Status: (All bodyparts can take 5 damage)

You dip your hand into the gel and find that it is quite viscous. Useful in theory, but you will have to put it to practical use first.
[5 - New Miniquest] Testing commences!
You hand a small glob of oxygel to Cabinboy, who torches it with his left hand. It catches fire and provides quite a bit of warmth.

((Didn't receive an action! Quoting some last posts))
You store the bandages and gels in your new suit's hermetic utility pocket.
The tubes are each about a meter long and 13 kg each. [3] Your search under the pilot's seat yields a spare gadget--a handheld probe designed to test soil for pH and important minerals.
The explosives in the canopy are hidden under some shock-absorbent rubber. With CAB-iN-Boy's assistance you are able to rip it off and procure six small charges, as well as associated wiring.
Your suit indeed can set a timer! The controls require that you tap the chin, using your eyes to move the cursor.

[5 - New Miniquest] The oxygel burns readily. In fact, you seem to be quite good with the blowtorch. A flamethrower is a versatile tool indeed...
The giant ray looks like a giant ray. It doesn't react to your presence, and in fact it doesn't have any eyes on the top. Behind it is a giant trail of sludge, ((Trailing off to the "west")) which is slightly green-tinted and definitely a stark contrast to the surrounding sands. The reason you couldn't see the trail before is because of the angle--you would have had to see through meters of gentle mist along the ground first.
