When he woke from the crash he found the escape pod quite damaged and on fires had started from re-entry. After putting out the fires he found his pod had crashed into, and was imbedded a cluster of splintered wood. Thankfully there was a vibroblade on the pod just incase someone had to cut themselves out. Once out he found himself and the pod a good way up the side of a masive tree that would put redwoods to shame...he could see the wreck of the ship in the Sid of a deep valley quiet a ways away. And there where fly in dinos.... great.... Venus,

He would needsomething to protect himself and the pod from the agresive plant life and bacteria.

Even though the Dr.’s personal life support systems were operational, he could sense that the aggressive life forms in the environment would pose a serious threat, sooner than later. Inspecting the escape pod, he thought he could modify its exterior light, to make it emit ultra-violet waves strong enough to keep out unwanted plants and bacteria, but not enough to harm him. He searched the pod for a tool kit. Someone had sense enough to leave a vibroblade, maybe they thought of the tool kit as well.



OOC: This would be a coincidental Forces 3/Life 2 effect to transform the light created by the pod into a weak anti-life field that would keep out plant life, bacteria, microbes, etc. without harming him.

He found his tool kit but it took quite a time to pry off panels bent into ways they could not be removed the normal ways. After an hour though he got it set up and the outside lights of the pod started shifting through the lights he had programed, the vines already starting to creep in he could see withering and falling from the pod.

Bit of an assessment of state.

Pod was damaged but some what functional.

It had a weak but long long lived power supply that should power most his needs (though he would have to watch the power levels in some cases.)

He had enough food and water for at least two weeks. More if he used what he knew to get the fabricator up and running and started making syth-food. Even if that stuff usaly tasted like shit compared to the real thing.

He was high up enough he should only have to worry about flying dino's or primitive humanoids.

He had a hand gun, tools, his suit and gun, the vibroblade and 17 dram to power them.

Survival wise it was a fairly positive outlook with the chance of being rescued if he got the radio working and/or got the lights going fairly bright at night (and sealed up nice and tight... dear god the bugs on this planet)

However getting to the ship did not look good It was a long ways a way, and he vaguely remembered something about a carnivore valley on Venus or some such in high school. He really hoped that wasn't what he was looking at the ship sliding into as parts of it suck from the cliff side and slid down more into the valley.

How could a search for paradise go so wrong.....

The Dr. peered up into the endless canopy and then down to a forest floor he couldn't even see. Despite its lethalness, the place was beautiful and seren. If only he didn't have so much to do... he couldn't wait meditate on limb and play his melodeon into the darkness. But, such peace had to wait, there was survival at hand. At least his UV light waves were working. It would make things much smoother. He thought working on the comm system and navigational systems the best use of his time today. Even if he couldn't reach anyone, he might be able to find something interesting near by. He had enough food for a little while. Once things were settled he could scavange for local edible flora and hunt some wild game.

He goes over to the navigation system in the pod and powers it up.

Ah.... How lucky! The navigation was barely damaged, it was able to bring up a map and locate him. He was about 100 degree East and 20 South putting him putting him a little southeast of the Ovda Regio on the Aphrodite Terra. That meant the Tahmina Sea was behind him and out in the distance that circular valley was the Artemis Corona surrounded by the Artemis mountains.... the so called valley of carnivores.

The crash was a few hundred miles away, there was no way he could get there to help any survivors in time to improve any odds of surviving. There only hopes of survival was sealing off some part of the ship as a base and working out of it.... if not they would surely have smaller carnivores running over them in no time. Hell, they might even be dead. He just had to hope others made it to escape pods and ended up in more hospitable spots like he did. That or some scavengers followed the ship down to steal scrap/parts and actually helped. >.>

Aphrodite Terra... that sounded familiar. He was in a wilderness region of the planet,  so roughing it was appropriate. Seeing that the nav system was in good shape was a relief, it would make things easier. He turned towards the comm system and checked what shape it was in.
