2. "Was"? What happened?
Our ship crashed on some moon. I have no idea where.
I managed to get into an escape pod, but I couldn't tell if anyone else made it into one.
My IEVA suit sensor tells me that the air here is breathable, at least, so thats nothing short of a miracle.
But i've got no food or water rations on me. The toolkit on the pod is about as basic as they come.
I managed to get the pods mobile transmitter working, but -- lucky you -- you seem to be the only one in range of the signal.
Whoever and whatever you might be.

Lets see... My ship just crashed in the middle of nowhere.
No one is hailing on this frequency, and I don't see any survivors other than me...
...the least prepared in existence for this sort of emergency!
But I got out of the mess with nothing more than a stubbed toe, so things are looking just peachy.
Thanks for asking.
1. Sorry about the toe. Smartass.

We need a tiebreaker)

Hm. Yeah, well, I've been told I use sarcasm as a weapon, and right now, I'm bot armed with anything else.
So lets hope that if there's any sort of little green men waiting to jump out and attack me...
... They're vulnerable to ironic comments and eye-rolling.
Anyways, why don't what I can see from here, maybe you can advise me on where to go.
All right, so my escape pod came down in some kind of desert.
The ground is all cracked white rock. There's a huge white peak a few miles away.
Or, uh, kilometers, I guess. (They tried to get me to think metric for the trip, but some things are just hardwired.)
It's weirdly symmetrical, like it might not be a natural formation.
My IVEA suit's compass places the peak northeast, and then, in the oppisite direction -- south and southwest, to be precise --
...are two funnels of black smoke from what i have to assume are two pieces of the Varia.
Best case scenario, it's ONLY in two pieces.
The crash site looks closer than the peak. What do you think I should do?
1. Check the crash.
2. Head for the peak. -

Yeah, cool, that makes sense. There might be other survivors... Figers crossed.
(It's not actually possible to cross your fingers in a IVEA suit, but just take my word on it.)
Or at the very least, there should be some supplies i can use.
Ok, i'm headed south now. Looks like the smoke is at least an hour away. Or whatever the metric equivalent of an hour is.
I'll let you know once I'm there.

Holy crap. It's a lot further than it looked. My legs feel like Jell-O, and I'm maybe halfway there.
Great. Now all I can think about is how much I want Jell-O.

Ok, at long last, I'm in sight of the Varia. Or what's left of it, at any rate.
It seems to have cracked hard once it hit the atmosphere.
Like I figured, it came down in two massive chunks...
... With tons of scattered debris thrown around just to make this whole scene look terrifying and post-apocalyptic.
(In case anyone asks, it's working: I'm absolutely terrified.)
Looks like the flight deck came down pretty far from the crew quarters. Where do you figure i should go first?
1. Look for the crew
2. Check the flight deck
