    @Aidan:
    You unearth the remnants of a droid, most of the torso, head and arms remain intact, yet its lower abdomen seems to have been completely ripped off. Sparks fly from the exposed wires that had originally connected the body.
    Its photoreceptors burn a pulsating shade of dark red, almost the same color as blood. It's chassis is of a metallic grey color, but most of the finer features are obscured by darkness.
    Knowledge: Technology check to identify the model of the droid

    @Ren:
    The display blacks out as you begin to input commands, breaking into static at intervals for a few seconds. The monitor finally stabilizes and displays the rough outline of the shuttle, the engines and starboard wings are outlined in red.
    The model of the ship appears on the Top Left corner of the screen, displaying its serial number as well: Ministry-Class Orbital Shuttle: X5-920.
    As you attempt to activate the ship's navigation suite, a window appears.

    You dig deep into your memory to attempt to determine the identity of the planet, yet it mostly has failed you. You cannot discern what sector this planet is located in, much less the planet you are on.

    Krish sighs to himself again.


    Completely unfamiliar terrain... almost no signs of life... This could be quite a struggle...


    He instinctively puts his hand on the hilt of his survival knife. It has saved his life so many times before, but it is hard to imagine how useful a knife will be in this desolate landscape, other than using the reflection to signal for help...
    It is clear to Krish that the team needs to find shade and shelter as soon as possible, but convincing everyone to follow him out into the desert...that will be the hard part. And to be fair, it certainly is a gamble...


    "Achem. Look everyone... The way I see it, it doesn't really matter where we are right now... Wherever we are, we only really have two options. Um, We can either try to suffer through the day in whatever shade we can find around here, and then move out after dark, or, ah, we can get moving now, and try to find some real cover before we shrivel up out in this desert."


    As he talks he gains confidence, and projects his voice more firmly:


    "Personally, my experience tells me we should get moving, and pronto. If we can make it to those mountains over there to the South West, we'll have a pretty good chance of finding shelter from the sun, as well as water. And where there's water, there's life."


    He looks around expectantly at his crew mates...

    Taren stretches his battered limbs and makes his way over to Ren in the demolished shuttle. "How is it looking in here? Any luck?"

    He pokes his head out of the shuttle at the sound of Krish's voice. "Why should we leave here?" he asks. "We're most likely to be found near the wreck, and the sensor pack is showing signs of... something out there. I reckon we should either stick with the shuttle or possibly send some scouts towards that signal we detected."

    Krish points over at the horizon.
    "You see how the sun is just barely over the horizon? and it's already sweltering hot. In another couple of hours the temperature could easily rise anywhere from 20 to 100 degrees C. If you want to stay here and risk roasting alive, that's fine by me. You may be right, and I may be over-reacting. But in my experience, over-reacting is a lot better than under-reacting.

    Krish sets down all of his gear, and starts taking out only the items that he needs, throwing them into his med kit backpack: a med pac, an extra power pack, some ration packs, and the bare necessities of his med kit. He also grabs a glow rod from the cargo hold, and of course holsters his postol and sheaths his survival knife.

    "The mountains don't look too far, and I would be happy to scout it out. If fact, I think you're right... sending a scout might be a good idea... easier to stay hidden, in case there's hostiles.

    ..Does anyone... have a comlink I can, maybe, borrow? That way, I can contact you if I find a good shelter."

    Thank you. I will contact you all when I have news. Likewise, let me know if that distress beacon yields any results.

    To Igniv:

    You do realize that Ration packs do not carry any water right?
    @Kind_of_a_ROBOT: You may take 10, though not 20. It's also a UC check


    @Krish
    The foot mountain range is a bit farther than you'd like it to be, but still a manageable distance. You do not spot much to catch your attention, though the birds that you saw earlier are still high in the sky, approaching the peaks.
    You come across one of the plant's that you had seen in the distance earlier. This foliage appears to be a gnarled, knotted tendril that erupted from the surface of the sand ages ago. As you approach the green-brown protrusion, you feel the air become far more humid that elsewhere in the desert.

    @Igniv
    A desert planet, does not seem like the sort that would attract any sort of exploration, much less colonization. It is no surprise to you that a planet such as this would pass under scanners. Though you believe that the sector in which the planet resides may be in the Outter Rim, which accounts for the lack of life.

    @Ren
    A new screen appears across the display:
    Region: Outer Rim
    Sector: Sertar
    Planet: Unknown
    Coordinates: ~12269.8, 9202.5, 3067.4

    As Igniv and Krish leave, Taren makes sure they have his comm frequency. "If you find anything, make sure to contact me at this frequency. I have an encrypted, long-range comm, so nothing should be able to listen in and there's not much chance you'll get out of range. And try not to get yourself killed out there kin, half-blood or not."

    Taren settles back into the shade that fills the crashed shuttle, grabbing the breath mask (if it's still there), content to wait for a report from the scouts.

    She had been quietly listening, letting the pain subside. The bleeding had staunched, for now at least, although the stain formed on her suit was rather unbecoming. I just had this tailor made too, she thought. Well, there are worst ways to wake up on a morning.

    For her, survival was not an issue - at least, not concerning food and water anyway. The issue was how the rest of the the survivors were planning on staying alive. Action was being taken, but it wasn't... well, enough. She quickly pulled out her datapad, entering co-ordinates into it.

    "H-Hey... wait..." she calls out specifically to the two that were heading off to scout, wincing slightly as she stands to her feet. "there's something I'd like to say. Hear me out alright?" Giving everyone a moment to listen, she speaks.

    "First off, before you two head off into the unknown, here."
    She hands them the datapad as she speaks. "You are right. Where there's water, there's life. Well maybe it's the opposite effect. Where there's life, there's water. It's not too far, just slightly more South west than you might like, but give it a quick scan, see what you can find. Try to hurry though, the shelter may not be so welcoming later.

    "Secondly. I need your help with something. Simply, that." She reaches out, and points at the crashed ship. "Now, I don't exactly know how bad she is, or even if it is possible for her to be in any shape to function, but the thing is, it hasn't exploded yet, which coming from my circles is a good thing. If it hasn't exploded yet, then it's stable enough to have more survivors on it, however rare. The damn thing's possibly got quite a bit of stuff we could salvage, not to mention medical supplies, weapons, emergency gear, survival units, and all of that. Hell, if we're really lucky, the navigation computer might still be working.

    But it will possibly be dangerous, especially with the heat coming up, so we might not have a lot of time to keep it together. Not to mention, if we wait a day, and it doesn't randomly explode, all manner of critters might be living in it, and no one wants that.

    "So. I suggest while we have one team searching for life, the other, including me, head there. Salvage what we can. Hell we might be able to get a second working shuttle if we're lucky.

    "If we're not so lucky, there will be hostiles on board just paitently waiting to ruin our already not such a great day.

    "Thirdly, and most importantly..." she says with a half smile, "don't you think we should be giving out our names before we go galavanting across the great unknown. Looks like we're going to be together for a while. Name's Asha. Tech expert, explosive specialist, and all round nice gal stuck in a bad place at the same time."

    "Oh, and also, did someone mention a droid?"

    Ren half-grins. "Well...that's something at least," he mutters to himself. Grabbing his datapad from his utility belt, he makes note of the coordinates and the system before heading back to the others. He stands next to Taren in the shade of the shuttle and listens to the Khil.

    Clearing his throat after she has finished, he speaks up. My name is Ren Axton. And before you all head off in opposite directions, I got something from the nav-data. We're in the Sertar system, outer rim...does anyone remember anything? From before the crash I mean?

    "Right. Names. I'm Krish. It's nice to meet you Asha, even under present circumstances. and Ren? It's good to finally get a grasp on where we are."

    "I'm not really sure what I'm doing here... I know I was assigned to the Damocles, as I'm sure you all were, fighting on the side of the Republic. Evidently we got shot down. Right now though, I'm not so concerned with what our mission was... I'll start worrying about that once we have a way to sustain ourselves. I just have a bad feeling this desert is going to become an oven in a matter of hours."


    [Looks at data pad. To Asha:] "Life forms less than a Km away, and maybe on the southern end of the mountain range where we're headed. That does bode well. We can scout that out while we are down there. Don't worry... we won't be seen. He hands back the data pad.

    "Sigh... checking out the wreck... that's definitely a big risk. It could very well be crawling with whatever enemy shot us down. However, as you say... any supplies we might find there could make the difference between life and death, and it could present sufficient shelter. Personally, I would wait until night, but you raise valid points. If you want to get a party together and scout the wreck out now, go ahead. We will be in touch with you."

    I know ration packs don't contain water, but what does? the only thing I saw was the survival kit with its two condensing canteens,but I'm already carrying a med kit... can't have two backpacks.
    can we say I have just an individual condensing canteen? call it 200 credits? I don't care about the cost I have 9,600 credits left over...

    Krish approaches the plant curiously. "You feel that humidity?" he says to Igniv. "I think we may be on to something."
    Krish begins digging at the roots of the plant, searching for moisture in the soil, or any other clues as to the source of the moisture.

    And where do you plan on buying that? At the conveniently located vendor droid over yonder hill? This ain't no MMORPG foo'!!!


    @Krish
    The plant seems to travel deep into the sand, the root system cannot be seen at such a close distance to the blazing hot surface. This seems to make sense to you as desert plants tend to draw water from deep under the earth, and in a large radius.
    As you touch the plant itself, you feel a thin layer of viscous fluid encapsulating the exposed portion, and the plant itself seems to quiver slightly.

    Just beginning to doze in the shade, Taren wearily sits up at the sound of Asha's voice. He listens from the shade and hauls himself up as a round of introductions start up.

    "Specialist Taren Rush, Republic Navy." He gives a half-hearted salute. "I work as an interpreter, contact with indigenous species and so on. I deal mostly with local populations and the like." He blinks up at the sun. "This kind of thing isn't exactly my area of expertise."

    "Given that I have no idea what happened before the crash, I do think that we should check out the wreck, if only to figure out why we are here. I agree with Krish however, in that we should wait for night to approach the wreck."

    He settles back onto his sand-covered seat and realizes he has a gash the length of his left arm, that he swiftly applies first aid to.

    She scrowls slightly, her tentacles uncoiling, giving her a more free and flexible look.

    "I understand what you are both trying to say, Krish.. and.. Taren? And thank you for the help from before."

    She points to the sun, and says "but you just said that that thing is going to be scalding hot any moment now. Which means a few things. If there's any lifeforms in this place, dangerous or otherwise, they'll take shelter in there when it gets too warm. That includes any hostiles that may or may not have been on board. Hostiles or creatures eating our food or drinking our water, something the rest of you are going to need if you want to survive.

    Using the ship for shelter may or may not be a good idea, but we don't know what state it is in, or will be, and the earlier we get there, the better chances we have that we can make it hospitable.

    Thirdly, there might be survivors on board. It's pretty rare, but there could be. That includes not only a commanding officer who might have some damn idea as to what we're doing here, but also some form of long range scanners for us to find other survivors.

    Something that we are decreasing our chances of finding with every minute we spend not looking for them.

    Plus..."
    she adds, her eyes darkening, "do you really want to be the one sneaking around in the dark on a ship that may or may not explode, or contain hostiles?

    All I ask, is for someone to come with me. I don't need to take everyone, just one person would do, but you are all welcome. Get me on there, and I can do my best to salvage what I can."

    You realize that the ship is most likely to explode at any moment, the fission reactor that powers most ships would overheat rather quickly if the cooling system is inoperative. The fact that the ship has survived this long is a miracle in of itself.
    Also, you manage to staunch to bleeding of your wounds with the bandages, as well as disinfecting the wound.

    Having taken up a relaxed stance to search his feelings, Taren stiffens. "On second thought, it may be best that we avoid the wreck. In fact, we might want to start moving away from it. I can't imagine that the cooling systems are still working, which makes it a miracle that the fission reactor hasn't gone up yet... I'm no master of tech, but I'm not sure how violently a reactor of that type and size dies."

    She was smiling as she listened, a hand casually placed on her hip, but on the inside, she studied the mirakulan closely. Something about him rubbed her the wrong way.

    His posture? No, too calm. Maybe his attitude... No she liked someone composed enough to not just out right panic.

    It was... Thinking back on it... It was the way that even with his calm look, it seemed like every action he took was almost... Guided. Not planned, not spontaneous, but guided and well lead

    And it freaked her out.

    "that's fine. You may have a point, but we might have time. That aside, Any good with climbing? "

    OOC: Yeah... I was trying to retroactively start with it, since it seems like something my character would have. but you're right, that's kind of BS. sooo anyway... no water. great.
    .

    Krish collected a glob of the viscous fluid between his thumb and pointer finger and smelled it. This could provide vital water and nutrients... or it could be poisonous. he thought to himself.
    He collects a sample of the fluid and put it in a container from his med kit.
    can't hurt to take a sample... ether way, it could come in handy.

    Krish stands up and dusts himself off.

    "Well, thats interesting. No idea what it is, or if we can consume it. Might as well keep moving towards the mountains. Ready to keep moving Igniv?"

    Ren nods in agreement with Taren, "I'm not sure the benefits of going into that thing are worth the risk...but, I don't really want to just sit here and wait to be rescued, either.. He kicks at a loose piece of sand covered metal near his foot, and wipes away the blood from the cut above his eye, finally reaching for the medpac on his belt. He winces slightly as he notices the bruise forming beneath the nail of his index finger...considering this wreck, I guess that's pretty lucky, he thinks as he presses the bandage to his forehead.

    "First off, before you two head off into the unknown, here."
    She hands them the datapad as she speaks. "You are right. Where there's water, there's life. Well maybe it's the opposite effect. Where there's life, there's water. It's not too far, just slightly more South west than you might like, but give it a quick scan, see what you can find. Try to hurry though, the shelter may not be so welcoming later.
    "I agree. Moreover, if we found water so easily, it is very likely natives know this spot well. Be careful."

If it hasn't exploded yet, then it's stable enough to have more survivors on it, however rare. The damn thing's possibly got quite a bit of stuff we could salvage, not to mention medical supplies, weapons, emergency gear, survival units, and all of that. Hell, if we're really lucky, the navigation computer might still be working.

    But it will possibly be dangerous, especially with the heat coming up, so we might not have a lot of time to keep it together. Not to mention, if we wait a day, and it doesn't randomly explode, all manner of critters might be living in it, and no one wants that.

    "So. I suggest while we have one team searching for life, the other, including me, head there. Salvage what we can. Hell we might be able to get a second working shuttle if we're lucky.

    "If we're not so lucky, there will be hostiles on board just paitently waiting to ruin our already not such a great day.

    "Thirdly, and most importantly..." she says with a half smile, "don't you think we should be giving out our names before we go galavanting across the great unknown. Looks like we're going to be together for a while. Name's Asha. Tech expert, explosive specialist, and all round nice gal stuck in a bad place at the same time."

    "Oh, and also, did someone mention a droid?"
    "My apologies for being rude. Second Lieutenant Aidan Corr, Republic Marines. And yes, there is most of a droid trapped under here. Anyone recognize this model? I'm not sure I want to pull it out until I know what it is."

    "Hm... Give me a second. Just need to check on something." Igniv says, concentrating for a moment.


    He then heads on, following Krish.

    @Aidan
    You recognize some familiar aspects of a protocol droid, a rather large vocabulator seemed to give it away.

    @Igniv
    A feeling of emptiness a brought forth, the liquid seems to hold no immediate pain nor death, neither does it seem to provide much aid.
