Re: Brock Buoyed
The mass of an object is its size and density. If you already know the difference between mass and pounds, ignore the rest of this paragraph. On Earth, since our gravity is relatively constant, there is a direct conversion between mass and weight. However, in different G-forces they become different. Mass is measured in grams. A rough conversion is 1 kilogram (1000 grams) of mass to about 2.2 pounds.
I habitually use metric. The system makes more sense to me than the old Imperial measurement system. Sometimes I forget when talking to people to convert to what they use.
Anyway, the idea here is take out the drone from its case, set it aside, and use the case to scoop out the water. It is, after all, a container that could hold water. If the drone is water sensitive or especially large, that would not work. Hands are not a very good option.
As for my stuff, I wouldn't wear both the backpack and the laptop bag while setting a fire on a magic tree that I suspect will attack me. I am not physically able to leap and dodge with 40 pounds of gear on me like that. I would have had to set at least the backpack down; the laptop bag is more possible. I wish I had thought of that at the time, I would have listed what I would put in the lighter bag that was essential gear. I am referencing my sheet so I have this straight and listing what I see here.
Stuff I gained but did not sort at the time:
Fire starter kit (would have been in my hands as I booked; probably dropped it as I swam up out of the water, but may have still had it)
rations I vaguely recall being given (probably in backpack)
empty container that held fire oil (what happened to it in that chaos at the end? If it was small enough, I would have pocketed it at the end, and if not, it'd probably have been with me and the fire kit)
