Turn 8:Description: An almost entirely human-looking figure whose features, while impossible to make out, are perfectly normal. Any feelings of alarm at this lack of data are simply overwhelmed by an overwhelming force of normalcy pushing down upon your psyche.

Eh, you chop the cable into pieces--sparks slither out of it and die in the grass--but it has no meat upon it.
Description: A regular looking dude with a mustache
Favourite sci-fi movie: Alien
Worst way to die: Probably being set on fire.
Blazing, you rush the pyro-tree. Buuuut you are disoriented, and trip over the sparking cable that the almost-entirely-human-looking figure just chopped. The grass beneath you withers and burns, as do you.
You are dead....As the pain recedes (dead men feel no pain, right?), you feel yourself seeking around in the dark for something to inhabit. Of course, your immortality! You almost forgot, and you feel as though someone else almost forgot too, someone important. (But who? Well, let's not dwell on it.)
Ah! You feel a body, ripe for your mind. It is tall and strong, a little cruel perhaps, but hey whatever: you can alter that once you take it over. Yes, this will do nicely. You slip your soul into it...
...And look down from a great height onto your charring remains, and the others watching your body. Hm... you feel rather tree-ish.

Burnt Smith!, you chuckle to yourself. The fire is not an issue, for you.

Worst way to die: Buried in a tank of industrial desiccant

Should I help the person on fire? Should I help the person with the cables slithering towards them? Should I just run away and keep myself safe? The people in danger could secretly be aliens trying to lure me closer pretending to be in trouble so they can eat me.
Check if I have any fir sap on myself or my clothing.
If I don't, then go help the guy who's on fire! Just encourage him to stop drop and roll. Try to smother the fire with dirt and my pyjama shirt. Pee on him if I have to.
If I am currently covered in highly flammable fir sap, then help the person being attacked by alien tentacles instead. Don't get near, but back away and throw rocks at the tentacles."5You are not covered in sap.
That dude is super burnt and dead.
The alien tentacle has been cut in half by the weird one. No worries.
Description: Blonde haired woman, she was studying to become a teacher before waking up here
Favourite sci-fi movie: Haven’t seen many of them
Worst way to die: Don’t know, probably getting slowly killed by prions
Her slumber deepens.
