Arthur Staunch (Megggas):[6] You walk up behind him as he struggles with the fish, then shoot him and cast his body into the water. No achievement occurs, although you do see a message pop
The fish he caught, though, seems to appreciate the corpsek, for you see it approach the body in the water. It's a large fish, about a meter long and a handspan in width, although it is rather flat. It clings to his corpse like a parasite and won't let go, although it doesn't seem to be chewing bits off or anything.

"I see, you wish to return him to your people..."The officer stands up.
"But... as it stands, we are in a state of war. Your people have technology we couldn't ever hope to match ourselves in this day and age."He points at one of the maps.
"We are at the Reich's doorstep. Their heartland is to the west, and we could be attacked at any moment, either by airstrike or by ambush. And now we find a man preserved in a tube, breathing a water that lets you breath!
You have some sort of extraordinary medical technology. I have men who need treatment, men from the frontlines, whose families are at stake. Many men, in fact, and several dozen have been lost under my command. Do you think I will let you take away our chance to save countless lives through replicating your systems?
I can let you take the survivor, he is of no use to us. But we will be keeping the lifepod until we learn everything there is to be learned about it."Status: (All bodyparts can take 5 damage)

[6] You map out a whole community in the sand, creating towers, turrets, keeps and causeways. It has a sort of steampunk edge to it, with smokestacks and warehouses on the inner side of the walls.
Pleased with your work, you begin populating it with little people made of sand. Soon you realize that little people need clothes, and so you head off to look for some loose tent material. You'll use the edge of the spade as a cutting edge and make little cloaks for them.
Returning with the tent, you notice that the castle has changed to to the weather. There's a little ditch around the walls now, and there is... a new building in the middle of the fort, located in a previously empty space. It looks to be under construction, with no ceiling and the walls only partially finished.

[3] You can--just barely--tear off some of the charred and burnt heatshielding that's still stuck to the side of the shuttle. Though brittle, it is hard enough that you can use it as a stopgap measure. You get about a square meter.
Digging ever deeper, your spade finally contacts something. Brushing the mud aside with your hands, you see the smooth surface of glass beneath. You can't see inside because your hole is filling up with water and the water is muddy, but it's definitely smooth like glass.
You hear the tapping again. It's irregular and coming from the thing you've just uncovered.
-Would the parachute work? I doubt it, cause I don't think it would let any or enough air through it to use as a mask.
-The G-suit still in the cockpit of the ship? I doubt we are going to be going fast enough to need a G-suit any time soon, so it should be fine to cut up for this purpose.
-Spare jumpsuit from one of the pods? I literally lost track of how many pods we have, so I thought I'd ask.
-The bandages? Doubled or tripled up, maybe that would be enough to filter out the particulates, especially if it's damp with water.
-Other cloth that I'm forgetting about? Cushions from the pilot seat or something?
-The parachutes are made out of an airtight membrane. Having a parachute through which air leaks through would kind of defeat the purpose.
-It's made of a rubbery material. The suit also acts as a pressure suit in case the cockpit depressurizes.
-The jumpsuit seems suitable. It's made of some sort of microfiber that's aquaphobic but when you stretch it you can see the weave. There is one per pod, and five are in use. But one is unoccupied and the other had that mummified body in it, so there's two spares.
-The bandages could work, although the fiber is much more coarse. It might not be sufficient to filter out microscopic particles. Even the jumpsuit might not be enough.
-The cushions are all synthetic leather. Cloth isn't something you see much of in military hardware these days.
