ERROR: FAILED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TIME SERVER.
Arthur Staunch (Megggas):Check my inventory for anything I can use as a distraction while I escape. If I have nothing, look for a place to hide.
[5-new miniquest] You dive onto the ground. Although the terrain is mostly smooth, you sink in a little bit, and you can't see your pursuers. Logic dictates that they can't see you either, especially if they're using the old code that only does a raycheck from your center of mass. Even if you're poking out slightly, you should be invisible to NPC's.

"You guys have had more time to explore than me. Is there somewhere better to set up a base camp? I'm not sure these rainy plains are great. And when I checked the soil analyzer the ground isn't fit for growing anything, not without fertilizer. I would really like to get out of the rain, just saying. Oh, and unless anyone thinks it's worth trying to bring our shuttle back online, considering it's condition, we should strip anything useful out, like the fuel cells."
To S.D. Macgroove, "Here you can use this respirator for now. It's the last one." Nole grabs the respirator, filters, and oxygen tanks from the broken down suit and passes it to S.D. "Sorry I couldn't give you the full suit. It, uhh.. broke. The other pieces are still in there, but I'm hoping to reuse the water recycler."
If possible Nole radio contacts just Night.
"Hey Night? This is Nole. Where'd you run off to? We shouldn't split up more than we need to. Besides, there's someone from the Sky Championship Dueling as well. To use the radio, just look at the icon in the corner of the screen briefly. The eye tracker will pick up your intent."
You make a personal note that the respirators in the suit that can cover your mouth and nose are actually not present inside your helmet. Or rather that they are, but the two halves are kept in the back. The respirator automatically engages if the helmet is cracked or the seal is otherwise broken. But in the standard case scenario you're just wearing a bubble-like helmet much like an astronaut.
You send a personal message to Night, as you are able to see everyone in the party now (including Graves) labelled as "Team G2."
She responds:
"Oh, sorry! I thought were getting attacked, and I didn't have a weapon... so, um... are those NPC's friendly?"

The wings are actually pretty useless, so you work on segmenting those out with the thermal lance.
[6] You cut them a bit rough around the edges, and the thermal lance almost overheats. Looks like it wasn't really designed to cut horizontal swaths through metal. It still works, though.
"Hey," says the man apparently called Graves.
"Do you know how to use this?"He hands you the ornithopter drone you found.
"It has a camera on it. If you open up the notification area on your display, you'll notice a Runetooth device floating around. Look at that and press this button on your chin, you'll get a camera feed."His advice works. You now see what the drone sees. The omnidirectional camera view is pointed downward at first, but if you look at the arrows along the edge of the feed the view rotates as well.
"Can you do some recon with it? I'd like to see if you can get an overhead view, but if you think you'll get caught in the wind you can stay low and just scout the plain a bit."Base StatusCargo Sled: Requires about 4 units of metal plating.

[2+2] The Franks seem to be startled at the suggestion of heading into a crashed plane. Eventually the English-speaker talks them down, but he reports,
"These men are weary, and they demand to be returned home. I don't know how I can tell them they are about to be imprisoned. But, since you are armed, I suppose none of them have a choice."The blue-coated one speaks to the redcoat in French. With that, they both nod and start to herd the men into the shuttle. Without a sort of guiding wall, you leave C.B. there with his terminator-face and blowtorch arm to dissuade them from trying anything funny.
Cabinboy doesn't really have much to say after you answered his question. Graves though, does.
"Well, they're colonists, and you said they have some sort of lung modification that lets them breath here? I think we'll have to bring them back into the fold eventually, but we can remain a neutral party until we figure out how much of our tech each side has gotten. We can't be the only ones, am I right?"Renouille A41 Cruise GunCurrent Armor: +2

[5-new Miniquest] One of the colonists slaps you in the face! The force causes you to see stars and breaks the gasmask.
Nole
now hands you the respirator. You have no real option but to take it now. The respirator is powered by the air pressure from the tanks, and needs no power, although the air tanks won't refill themselves without the distiller module from the suit, which is also present although you aren't wearing it (but will require you to lug around the batteries in addition to the air tanks).
You took no damage.
