ERROR: FAILED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TIME SERVER.
Arthur Staunch (Megggas):[6] You empty your magazines, shooting plenty of fish. Problem: you are now out of ammunition.
You managed to drop sixteen fish in addition to the first one you found. All are in bad condition, but about 14 are somewhat intact (the blade is okay).
However, you have more pressing concerns. The school of redfish happens to be larger than you thought it was, probably numbering in the hundreds if not thousands. The swarm descends upon you like locusts. You feel repeated impacts against your armor--the fish are trying to slice apart your armor! None of them breach the outer layer, but it is bound to have taken its toll on your suit. (1 damage)
The swarm follows you around.

"Well we're still trying to figure that out. But as I said I plan on making a facecloth to help filter out the particulates." He listened briefly to her history, and commented, "Well very nice to meet you. I'm Marcus Noehl, and I went to sleep back in 119 PL. I'll have to hear all about what ship life was like in the 200's, but that's for another time. You can just call me Nole." He grabs the slug and fish he had and offers it. "Are either of you hungry? I've been taste testing some of the local wildlife to see if it's edible... or poisonous. Results have been positive so far. Wish I had a proper pan to cook in though. I hope we can get more supplies from other dropships."
She accepts the slug bit without so much as a thought. She looks at it for a bit, holding it up at different angles.
"What do I do with this?" she asks.

Nole offers you some food. It's a piece of a ray-like creature that he must have hunted. Your pod didn't come with any food inside.
You hear a fluttering noise to the north. There appears to be a swarm of insects nearby. It's not moving at the moment.

"Uh, hello. Heh. This... we arrived? We home free? I just woke up, so... If you have anything important you need to tell me, like where we are, or is the atmosphere breathable, and is that rain actually sulphuric acid. You know... That stuff."
"Rainwater isn't acidic. That we can be sure of," says the doctor that just came in.
You hear voices outside. They're not in english, which is odd, because everyone spoke english on the ship. It was far easier to teach everyone a single language, although there were people in the sector that studied ancient languages for various intellectual pursuits.
Cueball seems occupied with something ((Like not posting
)).

"Survivor! Good to see you're alive. Stick around. Name's Cueball.
Unfortunately, doctor, the gel would paralyze his diaphragm. Unless you happen to have another iron lung somewhere, he's doomed. I'm sorry."
Considering that the man is bleeding all over the floor, it seems unlikely that just a gel would do. He'd need a transfusion, plus the aforementioned iron lung. But the doctor, whether in denial or just hopeful, still pleads.
"He has one working lung..? But... what about the pod your survivor came in? Isn't that a sort of iron lung?"There is a rumbling outside. It's an engine starting... and it's coming from the direction of the workshop.
