1650 GREENHEART TIME, MAY 21st, 301 P.L
ERROR: FAILED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TIME SERVER.
Mark Johns'son (Pencil_Art):You step over a puddle.
Tadaa! It's no longer raining. Since the air is much more clear, you can see more things: a slowly rolling landscape, with streaks of green-tinted slime everywhere and the occasional giant depression in the ground. These depressions seem to be filled with teeth, like some sort of maw.
In the distance, you spot a large crate sticking out of the ground. Around it are scattered parts and tools, including:
-A seismic radar for mapping the underground and determining rock type
-A mineral analyzer that grinds a piece of rock and tells you its composition.
-A Jackhammer than seems to be capable of shattering rock.
-Three extra spades.
The rest of the pieces are just spare parts, electronics, or shattered bits of technology. The crate itself is a simple metal box, although its bottom side is missing. You find it stuck in the sand three meters away.

[4] The trooper carried with him quite a collection of items. It's unusual for an NPC, that's for sure. You also notice the body doesn't sink into the ground slowly, it just stays there.
That must put some strain on the physics engine, given the massive amount of mobs being killed at any one time.
You find:
-Magazines for your guns
-3x bandages
-A net full of purple fish, 12 to be exact, including the one the man pointed at you. Their teeth are sharp.
-A spear and a ceremonial sword
He also wore a helmet, which gives +1 defense but keeps falling off your own helmet, so it's hard to wear.
[3] There is no cover out in this floodplain, save for the river. You leap in, using the bank as cover. The hazard suit starts to hum, and you feel a warm sensation over all of your limbs.
The bleeding stops after a while, though, and the knife remains stuck. Your suit gives you a couple of low-HP warnings, but that should be fine soon enough.

[6] You pump in some medical gel. The colonist convulses a few times, coughing up blood, but less blood each time. After a few minutes his eyes open. Apparently he gets enough oxygen now.
He doesn't talk though, even though he is moving his head around. He raises his arms and rests them on his chest.

[6] There are a few weapons inside the main room of the barracks. Said main room is also filled with soldiers.
[2] No unsupervised weapons in the vicinity of the armory, although you do find an unsupervised welding kit.
[3] Finally! You wander out into the rain a bit and see a standing object in the distance. Approaching it, you find a gun half-buried in the ground, with a helmet perched on top of it! It's a double deal!
The helmet kind of rolls off your suit's helmet though, so you'll have to find a fancy way to wear it.

You cook the food using a shovel. Not the most sanitary solution out there, but at least you can heat-sterilize it and there is plenty of water to wash it with.
To eat it, you take your helmet off momentarily, holding your breath, and take a very small bite.
[5-new miniquest] It's quite good, actually! While you tap the floor, you don't have any immediate negative reactions, so that's a plus.
You have 10 red fish, 1 cooked
You have 6 green fish, 0.9 cooked
You have a cooked sand slug
[4] You tap... and hear three taps back! You try again, and it's the same sequence of taps each time, right after you tap the floor yourself.
