Head for the mountains.

Follow it. If it is hiding there, it must be less unsafe than outside. Move calmly, and don't step on the Blood Fang. Turn on the lights in the mech.

You follow the blood fang into the crevice, scratching the paint of your mech on the rock as you squeeze in. You turn your lights on and you can see the blood fang curled up protectively over a litter of pups each half your size (your size, not the mech's). From the relative sizes, the pups must not be very old. What do?

Head for the mountains.

You begin trekking in that direction

move towards it still. Move slowly.

Observe quietly. If the bloodfang is annoyed with the light, dim it. Search through the harddrive to see if any manuals for survival after crashlanding are available.

[MidnightJaguar]

Grab an angry bird with my pneumatic clamp and stuff it into th cargo bay hit the rest with my hand.

[Nakéen]

Keep trekking

[Gwolfski]

Also, examine my watch thing

Grab an angry bird with my pneumatic clamp and stuff it into th cargo bay hit the rest with my hand.

You catch one with the clamp mid-leap but are instantly blinded. You cannot see a thing past the tail-feathers of all the birds. You swing your mech's arm wildly and connect with one of the birds.

Also, examine my watch thing

It reads: 88:88. It seems to not have any time on it. Now that the immediate emergency is passed, it just looks like a normal watch.

[MidnightJaguar]

Continue with the wild swinging with both arms.

Spoiler: Yuki Ito scenario (click to show/hide)

You got to a mech later than everybody else did, having noped out of that bay when you saw the bending blast door. You locked the airlock behind you just as the blast door gave way and watched as the vacuum swept everything out towards the planet. The ship shook again and you retrace your steps, finding another door leading to another mech bay. There was a creak and you jumped into the closest mech, a smallish model painted in white camouflage. A large slug ripped through the blast door and exploded, exposing the bay to vacuum. A split second later, the door gave way and spiralled into space.
Numerous slugs zipped past your mech and into the hull of the ship you had just left. You feel your mech slowing down before being slowly dragged towards the planet below.
-----
You wake up and shiver. You have no idea how long you've been out. A second would have felt the same as an hour to you. You landed on the sunny side of the planet, though, so you should be able to feel the heat from the sun through the visor, but you can't. You look up and find yourself looking into the eyes of an owl-like bird about half the size of your mech. The avian cocks it's head, squawks and flies away. As it flies, an eagle slams into it, breaking the bird's neck and seizing it in its talons. Looking like a pterodactyl, the eagle-like bird flies away with the prone owl-like animal.
You grab the controls of the mech and drag it ungracefully to its feet. You look up at your surroundings and find yourself in the shadow of a gigantic mountain. Looking at the compass mounted in the dash, it appears that you are on the Southern side of the mountain.
You are not currently able to contact anyone via radio. Gwolfski is in range but the signal cannot go through rock.

[Gwolfski]

Have a rest . Try to figure out what happened

[piratejoe]

Check for damages on the inside of the mech, then head for the mountain, maybe i could find a ore vain in a cave, how i will mine it, well that's a story for later.

[Gwolfski]

I'd better check for damage on the inside of the mech.

The inside seems to be functional, the outside is a little charred, though. These things were not made for comfortable re-entry.
You trek up the mountain, running into very little wildlife on the way. As the sun begins to set, you notice a faint blood trail leading into a well-hidden cave.

I'd better check for damage on the inside of the mech.

There is no apparent damage on the inside of the mech, although a few of the controls have gotten stiff, it's barely noticable and could just be the temperature. The Blood Fang looks up at you as you test the movement, but settles down. A few minutes pass and the light from outside the cave begins to turn orange.


Suddenly the Blood Fang looks up at the entrance, growls and covers her young protectively.


Speaking of the temperature, the dash-mounted thermometer reads between 1 and 5 degrees celsius for everyone.

Keep Trekking, while playing DF v2.0

You keep trekking.

Continue with the wild swinging with both arms.

You swing again and again until you can see. The currently clamped bird is limp, obviously dead from being ragdolled around. One female managed to get itself tangled up in a wait-a-while vine and another is motionless on the ground a few meters from your feet, you can't be sure if it's alive or dead, but it is male. You see a flash of white as the remaining animals run for it.
