Quickly weighing your options, you come up with several plans for dealing with the current situation.
Punch dinosaur in snout to establish superiority.

"I am your master now!"
SHOOT AT ITS FEET MAKE IT DANCE
Establish superiority.

You think about taking a running start toward the dinosaur and punching it in the snout, but then realize that: 1) Your leg is burned, so you can't even walk, nevermind run; 2) Especially jump; 3) Even with both healthy legs the dinosaur is far too tall for you to get to it's head.

If that doesn't work shoot it.
You aim your pistol once again, this time being careful not to miss. You pull the trigger... And hear a click. The indicator on the pistol's back says 'Charges remaining: 0/1. Please recharge.' Dumbfounded, you stare at the message. A pistol that can only make a single shot? What were you thinking when you bought it?!

feed it its old master. without using your physical hands.
Plan C is made to take care of both problems at once, by feeding one problem to the other. However, picking the strange alien up, chasing the dinosaur and force-feeding it the carcass is hardly an option. So, you mentally command the animal to come back and eat up. Surprisingly, that works and the dino slowly starts to trot back.

Status changes:
You have gained Command ability (MC cost: any, amount invested directly proportional to the effect);
1 MC lost;
Your Headache is replaced by Bad headache;

When it comes back, it starts thoughtfully chewing the strange alien's corpse.

>Feed it acidic leaf.
Not one to stop at half-measures, you throw the broken leaf on the ground near the corpse. You decide not to risk further commanding the dino to prevent your headache from worsening even further, so you hope that the dinosaur will eat it on it's own initiative. You have to wait for some time for it to finish with it's old master, but finally it chomps the leaf down in one bite, chews for a bit and finally swallows. For several seconds it just stood there, looking at you with doggy eyes, but then it's eyes cloud over, rumbling emits from it's stomach and finally the dinosaur vomits the contents of it's innards out. You can see the crushed shape of the alien's body, the chewed leaf and more half-digested remnants. The dinosaur starts wobbling from side to side, apparently not entirely free from the leaf's effect yet. At your feet lie the contents of it's stomach. You can only sag back onto the ground and think about your present situation.

Status changes:
Moderately crippling pain is replaced by Slight pain;

Order dino to open up the spaceship like a tin can.

OR

Use acid leaves to melt a hole into the spaceship.

>Observe surroundings
Quite unsurprisingly, you haven't moved an inch while lying in your own little universe of agony.
>Observe health of Dinosaur
Apart from the dizziness caused by the leaf ingestion, the dinosaur looks quite healthy.
>Observe reflection in Dinosaur teeth :3[/b]
You observe your reflection in dinosaur teeth. You look groovy.

Use acid leaves to melt a hole into the spaceship.
use a stick to do so.
Unfortunately, a stick hasn't magically appeared anyway since the last time you checked. You woe your bad fortune of lack of magically appearing sticks.

Use acid leaves to melt a hole into the spaceship.
Since your arm and leg are still attached and the dinosaur isn't vomiting blood after coming in contact with the leaf, you can be reasonably sure that the acid won't melt through a spaceship hull.

After weighing your options for a bit longer you decide to ignore everything on this planet that isn't your ship or a tool to get inside. Unfortunately, the only object belonging to the second category appears to be standing a few strides away, slowly shaking it's head. Since you haven't rested since the last time you ruthlessly exploited the contents of your own skull, you instead decide to walk, or rather limp, in the monster's direction while trying not to scare it off. After getting there, you awkwardly jump on your good leg and grasp at one of the dinosaur's little front paws, then scramble to it's neck. You take a moment to back in the sun, but are immediatly almost thrown off by the shifting of the dino's muscles, apparently unaccustomed to so much weight on it's back. Deciding to cut straight to business, you direct the animal to the ruins of your ship. After several minutes of careful maneuvering, you finally find yourself at the shipwreck site. Unable to think of anything better, you get up from the dinosaur's neck, scramble to the end of it's spine and get as mighty a kick with your good leg as possible. The animal bellows in pain, throwing you off it's back and crashing away over the ruin of the ship. Cursing your stupidness and barely able to think straight from the pain, you get back on your feet and look around. The dinosaur is milling around several hundred of meters away. Getting to it in your present state after all the abuse you've heaped onto the poor animal seems quite impossible. Right next to you is the wreckage of the ship, messed up even more heavily by the dinosaur's passage, but at least you can see a hole you can crawl through. So, what to do now?...

Status changes:
Slight pain is replaced by Paralyzing pain;
You have recovered 2 MC;
You have gained several more bruises;
Your Headache fades;

Crawl inside and find a safe and covered place to quietly rest for a 12 hour period.

Maybe not melt... But react...

This is a metal hull right? And an acidic leaf?

Hur hur, anything can happen :3

Also, despite my quarrels against walking into derelict space ships, it's still shelter. Attempt to enter the hole, but look first...
