Wanderer just landed, so Veronica is back in Engineering, while everyone else is still on the bridge.

Are there any other signs of intelligence or other life around the area?

Are these normal sized tires or monster truck tires?

Follow question up do we have the necessary tools to change tires and fuel cells, and use the ship to jump start?

Picture the tires on a military truck; large, but not overly so.

Yes, this equipment is built to the same standards as the ship, so tools and voltages are compatible.

Holy moly, lifes been rough. sorry, I am lost and dont remember where im at. lol

The four of you (Brent, Veronica, Malcolm, and Gareth), finished investigating the crash site. Gareth found evidence that the ship was shot down, and Joxe (who is back at the ship, but in comms contact) thinks it may have come from the settlement you're heading towards.

The settlement has been abandoned for a very long time, although the Imperial ceramacrete is generally managing well against over 250 years of exposure to the elements. Gareth went to investigate some abandoned trucks parked in one of the hangars at the airport you've landed on. They, too, have been sitting for two and a half centuries, so it's a tossup if they are still operational.

We landed out by the space or air port rather than closer in to the settlement

I'm waiting for Eddie to catch up :-)

This is what you hear over the emergency frequency:

Well, that's singularly unhelpful.

Does Brent have any familiarity with that type of beacon?

Not that specific tone, but it's a distress beacon. Along with the tones, it gives position information...

Also, is this the building from which we think the beacon is emanating?

An overgrown building sits a hundred meters to the east, facing the landing pad. A broad, paved walkway leads to it from this pad. The windows are gone, and several trees have grown up inside the building, standing out the sides and top of the structure.

How specific is the position information?  Can we isolate a particular building?

No.

Ok, I guess we'll find out :)

The biggest cat any of you from the Egg System has ever seen is about the size of a large house cat, or a small bobcat.

Yea, this one has got to be frightening!

Hoot, Eddie, Matt, please welcome Bob Kondrk to the game. He and I have been gaming together for <mumble> years, and he's a much better writer than I am.

Hiya everybody! :)

Welcome Bob/Niamh!

I welcome the opportunity to vent someone else out the airlock.

LOL

Niamh is on the left side of the air raft. Brent is flying from the right front seat, with Malcolm in the left front seat. Veronica is in the left rearmost seat, and Gareth is in the right rearmost.

There are two rear facing seats right behind the front seats, which are unoccupied.

So we have everyone aboard now?

One minor quibble; pilot's seat is on the left.  :)

In most helicopters, the pilot is on the right - dunno why it's different for fixed wing aircraft...
