2. Check the Flight deck
All right, it's going to take me a few minutes to sort through the wreckage.
A lot of the heat shielding was stripped on entry, but it seems to have taken the worst of the damage.
Most of the instrumentation looks surprisingly intact.
Let me poke through this mess...
[a few minutes later]
Hot damn! We're in buisiness!
(Well, I mean, if you keep in mind that most buisnesses fail before they can ever really get off the ground.)
So, let's play a round of Good news/Bad news.
Good news: I found the ships distress beacon, and from what I can tell! It's totally intact!
Which means, hey, maybe I won't be stuck here forever.
More good news: one of the defense turrets is still operational.
Yes, that means three of them AREN'T, but there's only one of me to operate a turret, so in this cass the math works out great.
So that means if the little green men DO come poking around, i'll have more than a smarmy pop-culture reference to defend myself with.
But now for the bad news: I've got no power for either the beacon or thr guns. The reactor came down with the back half of the ship.
Im quite sure we didn't pack any extension cords long enough to bridge that distance...
...and even if the reactor were right here, I seriously doubt it's in good enough shape to power much of anything at the moment.
So... I'm going to keep hunting in this end of the Varia and see if i can dig up some kind of alternate power source.
[around 20 minutes later]
Oh... Oh, no. I haven't found any of the crew up here near the flight deck, but... I just found captain Aya.
There's just... So much blood, i would have thought
OH HOLY HELL she's not dead! The captain's not dead!
She's got a huge piece of metal through her side, like a, like a suppourt strut or something... It doesn't matter what it is!
What do i do? Should i... Do i pull it out?
Oh man, she's really bleeding. Oh, man.
1. Pull it out!
2. Leave it in. -

Okay, good plan. Who knows what kind of damage I might do if I yanked it out?
It's... The wound isn't really actively bleeding right now, but her breath is really shallow and kind of... Rattling?
Oh man, I'm sure there's a good chance this thing pierced her lung.
Crap, crap, crap. What am I supposed to do?
1. Look for a medkit.

Yes. Okay. Great plan. There should be a medkit on the flight deck. Just gotta find it.
[a few minutes later]
The damn forward med supply cabinet is scorched over. I'd need a crowbar and a power drill...
...and with my luck, I'd injure myself so badly that I'd have to use all the contents on myself if I ever DID get it open.
There's another med locker in the rear of the ship, by the crew quarters. I've gotta go for that one.
[a few minutes later]
Okay, okay. I'm at the wreckage of the crew quarters.
And, well, this wasn't totally unexpected, but still.
I, uh... I found some of the crew.
It's... Oh man, hang on...
[a minute later]
Sorry about that. I had to go be sick behind some moon rocks.
So, there were a few crew members who were apparently pretty near where the Varia's hull split.
I can't... I cant tell who they were, or how many.
They're all sort of fused, to the metal or, uh, to each other.
And we, I don't know, we might've lost some crew when we lost pressure.
Behind the sealed door to the rear quarters, though, I... I found the rest of the crew.
Antoine, Trotter, Colby, Adair. All dead. All of them, just... Dead.
I don't think I can do this. Knowing that all of them, every one of them... I just...
1. I am so sorry.
2. Just keep moving. -
