Arthur Staunch (Megggas):You notice the fish mouth has a velcro-like behavior where it will stick to the fibers of your armor. The pearls don't stick, though, and, well, it doesn't look like this will accomplish much.
[5] Wait! The fish moves when you put the pearl inside the mouth, sucking it in and eating one of your pearls. You then get the amazing idea to block the mouth using the knife in your shoulder! Now when the fish sucks in the pearl, it doesn't go all the way into the digestive tract. By twisting the fish you can get the pearl to fall out.

[6] You wire up the timer circuit and stand close by when it triggers. You hear a loud crack, and it turns out the glass in the pod has shattered. Those explosives packed a punch!
Then again, that is exactly what those charges were designed to do: remove an unruly canopy from the premises. By blowing the siding, no less.
To your surprise, the unharmed girl in the pod slides the pod cover away (laying flat against the pod and sliding the curved glass cover over her. It looks like she barely fit below the curved cover) and promptly escapes, coughing up oxgel over the next few minutes.
When she finishes, she neglects to put on the oxygen mask that came in her pod. Instead, she touches her heart and then her forehead, smiling.

...
You hear a loud explosion.
Looking down into the pit, you watch the a girl climb out of the pod and make a strange gesture, touching her heart and then her head.
Looking at the pod, it looks like an explosion dislodged the hinge at the bottom. The man with the shovel just used explosives to get her out! That seemed less than safe, though the girl looks unharmed for now.

Using the explosion and the ensuing chaos as cover, [3] you manage to sneak into the workshop where you recall seeing a vehicle. You might be able to break your way into it using a crowbar and hotwire the thing. The workshop contains spanners, prybars, screwdrivers, and a welding rig.
You enter the workshop and find His Majesty's Armoured Personnel Carrier Mark Twelve, featuring pyramidal sloped armor and a 60mm gun mounted in a turret that is flush with the rest of the armor when pointed forward.
The hatch is at the back, and is locked shut with a padlock.

"Do you two know each other?"You notice Graves reaching slowly for something at his side.

Paperwork: You are considered refugees in the ongoing war
You were just lying in bed when a large explosion shook the building and a huge piece of shrapnel busted down the wall. Something tells you this is related to the other colonist that stopped by.
Miraculously, you aren't hit by anything. The iron lung hooked to your mask, on the other hand, was cleanly bisected, and you notice a punctured oxygen tank flying across the room, wasting the pure oxygen that was once saving your life.
There was a doctor entering the room just as the explosion hit. He seems a bit dead now, but there was something in his hand that dropped right next to your bed. It looks like a gas mask.
Summary:
-You were found by soldiers in a pod out in the floodplain
-You were brought back and got up out of the pod. On your first breath, you coughed up blood and fainted from lack of oxygen
-A fellow colonist found you and talked to the doctor (in English, and not the wierd language that the other people here use)
-The colonist injected a vial of medical gel into your lungs, healing them but causing a temporary paralysis (which is now thankfully gone)
-You are now (or were) hooked up to an iron lung giving you pure oxygen to keep you from having to breath in this planet's atmosphere
