11. Repairing and Searching

General Summary

• Damage to the engines, power couplers, cargo ramp is lowered and damaged (like it was forced), crew ramp is closed but looks like it's been rencently used
• We go up to the crew access and hit a button making an elevator come down with room for 2 people so Zeeroh and Janico go up
• They see that the plants have reached the inside of the ship as well and things are looking run down but functional
• Janico calls out "HELLO!" and a voice calls back. We say we don't mean any harm and want to meet. They cautiosly responsd ok is we don't have out weapons out
• A robotic K9 head pokes it head around to look at us but doesn't do anything.
• We get to the person and she introduces herself as Ruthi and she says she never wasn't able to get the ship running because she was missing components
• Ruthi says her crew came here looking for the ship but she's the last member that's still around
• We decide to take her back to our ship to scround for spare parts for repairs
• Ruthi goes around our ship and is able to find the parts to repair the Starhunter ship
• While we're loading up the gear we get a message communication from the Barrelman asking why our engines are offline and lifesupport is barely working
• We tell them we have it under control and we'll reach out if we need anything before we head back to the Starhunter ship
• Ruthi gets to work right away on the engines and is able to quickly bring them online even fixing a critical issue slowing the engines down
• Phaedrus sees Ruthi heading towards the ramp and says he can give her a stim shot to help her focus and she says he can stim her up
• Ruthi is able to fix the containment field but it can't run unless the ship is turned on due to the power requirements
• Ruthi turns her attention to the power next to fix the fluxtuations and noctices that it is going to take a more than one person to fix, so Ruthi and Zeeroh work together to fix the power
• Phaedrus goes around the ship looking for medical supplies and doesn't find much, but does see a damaged containment field and the last log from the ship crew
• Last log was them attempting to move the specimin to the containment field while it was heavily sedated
• Janico takes some laps around the clearing looking for tracks from the large dragonsnake and after awhile he spots some tracks that look right and are a few days old
• Kathirra goes around looking for some natural herbs but isn't able to find anything nearby
• Zeeroh walks around the ship looking for anything that has been hidden away
• He finds a datapad that looks to be filled with medical information so he takes it to Phaedrus
• Phaedrus scans over the information and he sees that the owner was running some kind of experiment about a drug viability (maybe) but most of the information is encoded in a strange cypher
• He finds a vitals panels and is surprised to see a live feed of multiple flatlinning vitals and one with a functional tracking beacon
• After most of the systems are online we decide to split up with Ruthi and Kathirra fixing the cargo elevator and everyone else looking into the tracking signal

...Signal team...

• The group heads northeast following the signal and the pings are getting quicker as we approach the signal
• After a long while the pinging reaches a fever pitch as we come across a large tree, with roots big enough to enter in a bit of a clearing and the signal seems to be coming from in the tree
• When Janico sees the tree he finds himself being drawn down into a cave in the tree roots
• Walking through some paths there is a void under the tree and in a large cave Janico sees a skeleton in a yellow jumpsuit as his fusion lamp goes out
• Phaedrus has followed Janico in but loses him in the cave when the fusion lamp goes out
