>>6151363>>6151436>>6151752>Initializing...C:/Nate/Nathan takes a look around. He starts to remember what happened before. They were supposed to fly to the dropoff zone, but something happened...and they crashed. Nathan checks his body for wounds. There are some bruises and a bleeding wound on his leg, but he can patch it with the first aid kit he has in the emergency backpack. He looks at the dead bodies. His old crew. The gear on them is worn and a little damaged, but still can use some good. Nate looks at his own gear. A ballistic vest. They were supposed to be given more gear after arrival. Nate looks at his right hand. A broken watch, that was originally supposed to show his health statistics and information, sent by the Squad Leader, He could probably fix that Nathan looks at the person in the distance again. The man, after noticing you starts walking faster. How much will it take for him to get here? Around 2 minutes. What does this man want? There is not a slightest idea, but Nathan feels, that he needs to prepare for his arrival. >[Loot the crew's bodies] - 1 minute>[Look for the armoury in the spaceship] - 2 minutes>[Patch up the wounds] - 1 minute>[Simply walk towards the man]

Rolled 2 (1d100)>>6151824>>6151883>>6151957>>6151977>>6152247 Nate feels he needs to arm himself with whatever is left in the armoury. He gets inside inside the spaceship trough many holes in its carcass. As he moves trough the first half, he sees broken crates with gear in them. It is almost beyond repair, the crash must have been tough. Nathan, strangely enough, doesnt remember how the crash even happened. He keeps moving towards the second broken half, looking at the dead bodies inside the spaceship. Some of them are still sitting with fastened seatbelts, half burned. Few of them have pieces of metal sheets in their body. Some of the bodies died, trying to get to the emergency room with parachutes and flares. Nathan follows a trail of burned bodies, to see that the Emergency room is completely demolished, with a huge hole in one of its walls. "Must have been an explosion" he thinks. Nathan reaches the second half, which fell not far away from the first. He runs to it, getting inside and moving towards the tail. And there he has it, the armoury. Trough the metal fence, he can that most of the weapons fell down on the floor. The door has a lock, but lockpicking it would waste more time time, than he spent looking for the armoury. Upon examining the door, Nathan comes to the conclusion, that it doesnt fit right into the door frame. All it might need is a push. Nate takes a few steps back, looks at the door and charges forwadAnd...
>>6152267A gushing blow throws him back onto the metal floor. The door did not budge. Nate gets up, ready for another try, but..."Having some trouble?" - he hears behind himselfNate turns around, and sees a man in a hunter's coat, army trousers and a ballistic vest, similar to the one he has. "I saw you get up after the crash. Why did you run away?" - the man asks"I...wanted to look around" - Nate says"You were afraid I'll kill you? Thats reasonable, but I am no enemy" - the man pulls down the right sleeve of his coat, revealing the similar watch, Nate has on his wrist - "I was sent here just like you by that company. One of the older expeditions. When I saw your spaceship in the distance, I saw rescue has finally arrived, but now I see you suffered the same fate Alek's expedition has suffered""Alek?" - Nate is confused. 'Alek' was not on the list of agents the rescue mission required him to extract. "Oh yeah, thats one of our guys. Was a squad leader in the mission, sent here 7 months ago, or around that time. He made a safehouse in one of the villages nearby and surviving agents from different expeditions gather there. You want to come with me? I'll get you there before blizzard comes"Before answering, Nate examines his vest and watch from a distance. On the vest's nameplate he can see the name "Nicholas Kane". The watch on the man's wrist seems to show the same name on the top of the screen,>[Follow the man]>[Refuse his offer]
>>6152269>[Follow the man]
>>6152269>>[Follow the man]
>>6152380>>6152384>>6152499"Yes, I'll come" Nate says after a while. He believes he can trust the man. Nicholas gestures for him to follow. They both go out into a snowy field, as Nicholas starts leading the way towards the safehouse. "So...Nate" he says, after taking a close look into Nathan's nameplate on the vest "Do you know if anyone else survived the crash?""I think I'm the only survivor" Nathan replies "I havent seen anyone alive outside or outside the ship. I think its a miracle I didn't end up like them in the first place""Yeah, miracles happen, but I wish they would happen more often. We lost too many people, its around 5 of us still alive in the safehouse now and POLYTECH refuses to send a rescue team""Im with the rescue team"Nathan's words make Nick stop. He turns around and looks him in the eyes. There is a mix of surprise and happiness on his face"You are?" - he finally says"Yes, I had a list of people I required to extract on my watch, but i think its broken""We have some tools in the safehouse, you might use it to repair your PAD" Nick sighs and continues to walk"PAD?" Nate asks as he tries to catch up with Nick's fast steps"Yes, the thing on your wrist is not a simple watch, but a 'Portable Analytic Device', which is used by all the agents. It shows your psychologic traits, objective, health and orders from the higher ups. Raiders love to steal them. I hope you know who THEY are at least?" Nick smirks as he says the last sentence"I was briefed, I know there are hostiles" Nate says in a serious tone, feeling a little offended by Nick's joke"I think there is one coming right ahead" Nick points to a man in the distance, walking towards them. As he takes his rifle and takes aim, the unknown man starts running towards him, waving both of his hands high up in the air
>>6152827"Nick! Dont shoot, its Rudolph!" can be heard in a distance Nick stops aiming and holsters his rifle: "Its one of our guys, dont worry"Rudolph runs up to Nick, finally stopping to catch a breath"Alek sent me to check on you" he says "You took longer than you usually do""I was picking up another agent. His starship just crashed not far away from here" "We will search it later, the blizzard is coming sooner than expected" Nick looks back at Nate and nods him to follow. The three start running, as the view around them starts to change. Soon enough Nate sees remains of houses, covered in ice and huge piles of snow covering their entrances. Most of the trees, unable to hold a giant amount of snow on their branches have collapsed to the ground, with few of them still standing. The remains of a civilization are seen everywhere, from roads to telephone network lines, with all of it being destroyed, covered in piles of snow. Something has happened, that made it this way, doomed the planted to its demise of being a frozen hell. Rudolph, Nick and Nate finally make it to one of the standing standing wooden houses with barricaded windows and surrounded by a metal gate. Rudolph slowly pushes the gate's door open and the three make it into the yard. Another man is sitting near a campfire on an old carpet in the yard. There are a couple more carpets around him, suggesting, that some other people sit here too. Seeing the group arrive he stands up for Nate to see his face.
>>6152831He is black haired with a stubble on his face. On his left cheek, there is a scar from what seems to be a knife. He looks at Nick and Rudolph, before eyeing Nate"Who is this" he asks with a slight serbian accent, looking at Nate "Who did you bring to the camp" "Its another agent, his is from a recent expedition, the spaceship he was on crashed a couple of hours ago" Nick saysThe man takes a few steps towards Nick. "We are running low on food, and you're brining more people? You want us all to meet the same fate like Paddy? One blizzard we can all die, because you are bringing more and more mouths to feed to an already starving safehouse!""Alek, please trust me. He will be worth it and we can't just leave people to die in the snow. At least thats my rule" Nick stares at the man straight in the eyes"You dont make the rules here" Alek looks at Nate. then at Nick again "Fine, he can stay, But if he will be more trouble than help, I will feed him to the raiders myself" he finally says. Alek goes back to sitting near the campfire"Dont mind him, he is always a little angry. Take a look around and visit Molly or Alice. Alice will take care of your wound" Nick points at the wound on his leg, Nate completely forgot about. Fortunately, the bleeding stopped, as the wound seemed to be a graze "and Molly will give you some tools to fix the PAD" Nick says and leans on the wooden wall>Try to calibrate the PAD>Talk to Nick>Talk to Alek>Talk to Rudolph>Talk to Molly>Talk to Alice
>>6152846>Talk to Molly
>>6152846>Talk to Alice
>>6152846>>Talk to Alice
>>6152859>>6153558As you go inside the house, you are hit with the sudden smell of bandages and blood. You walk past a huge living room with dismantled wardrobes and couches, while the floor has a couple of sleeping bags and mattresses on it . You take a step into one of the smaller rooms, finding a what seems to be a lazareth. A small amount of bandages, some vitamin bottles and gauze pads lay on the wooden cabinet. Some bedrolls are placed on the floor, acting as beds. You could say the room was completely white, if not count the brown wooden cabinet and some blood on the floor. In a corner of the room you see a dark-haired woman. She doesn't seem to notice you at first, but after you approach her, notices you and stands up. You now notice a sliver orthodox cross necklace on her neck, along with some bruises on her face."So you are the new member Vulic was shouting about... Is there anything I can help you with?" she saysYou silently show her a graze on your leg along with the more serious bruizes on your left arm. Alice picks up a gauze pad, puts it in a bucket of water and then holds it to your bruise. You feel some cold. "Hold it for 10 minutes and don't forget to return the pad" she says, calmly and in some way motherly way. Alice then applies a wet gauze pad to your leg, but this time covering it with a bandage, to make sure it doesnt fall. You feel a little awkward. What should you ask her?>"Can you tell me about yourself? Now that I'm de facto member of your team">"Whats is that cross on your neck?">"Who is Vulic? Is that how you call Alek?">Stay silent and walk away(Sorry for the delay, been really sick lately)
>>6154280>"Who is Vulic? Is that how you call Alek?"
>>6154280>"Can you tell me about yourself? Now that I'm de facto member of your team"
>>6154280>>"Can you tell me about yourself? Now that I'm de facto member of your team"
>>6154280>Thank her and leave
>>6154325>>6154332>>6154727>>6155750>"Can you tell me about yourself? Now that I'm de facto member of your team"Alice stares at you for a couple of seconds before starting to talk."I took part in the Second Russian civil war. First Polish Brigade on the Central front. I was a nurse in one of the hospitals, close to the frontlines" Alice turns to the barricaded window behind her"During the later stages of the war, when our forces started to lose battle after battle I was captured and sent to the POW camp. After 5 months there POLYTECH sent me with one of the expeditions here as a "redemption program". I dont think anyone from my "redemption legion" survived except Kane"Alice finally turns to face you, but for some reason she is trying not to keep eye contact. "That is all you need to know for now"You understand that there is more too it and she is clearly hiding something. Although asking too much on such topic as the war might come out badly. Maybe its better to ask her again when you will get to know each other better>"I think you are hiding something about the war part">"Can you tell me about the others in this camp?">Leave her and go talk with someone else
>>6156480>"Can you tell me about the others in this camp?"
>>6156480>>"Can you tell me about the others in this camp?"
