What th---

Fuck!!

Those bastards spaced me! Goddamn!

Yay! Now the madness starts!

Are you in an elevator?

Well they gave you a pod at least.

If you think this kind of spacing is bad, you haven't been on a shift at Space Station 13.

What's in that panel?

That orange stuff looks important, go investigate it please.

That's rude. I thought double-spacing was standard.

What are the capabilities of the shuttle/craft/box you are in?
Who are 'they'?
Who are you?
Why haven't you looted that compartment yet?
DETAILS MAN WE NEED DETAILS.

do a little dance to cheer yourself up!

>That's rude. I thought double-spacing was standard.
Well obviously they only half-wanted to kill you.

Wait, is that--

Rhodes?

I never thought I'd hear from you again!

I'll go ahead and bring you up to speed, since you seem even more disjointed than normal: My name is La Grange. Me and my partner Isuzu run a business flying a little scout speeder through poorly explored regions of space and bringing back notes and recordings. After our last stopover, we were asked by a couple of people claiming to be police if they could hitch a ride.

Of course they weren't the fucking police. How could we have been so fucking stupid? I bet they're hawking my damn speeder on a black market this very minute. And meanwhile I'm in a goddamn escape pod which doesn't even have any engines on it.

Fuck. At least I've survived this before.

That orange stuff is important.

And bad.

Looks like a bunch of the features of the escape pod are broken. No external cameras, no communicators...

We probably should have maintained these things, but we didn't think we'd ever have to use them. That was pretty damn stupid.

This thing has apparently landed on a planet, though. A livable one, even! If I can figure out how to get it open. I'm not sure where the door is on this thing, and the screens don't give me any help.

... I wonder why they dropped me on a livable planet? I should probably be thankful that whoever stole my ship didn't feel like killing me too.

The only thing that's supposed to be in the compartment is a first aid kit. I don't think that's going to do me too much good right now...

Take the first aid kit out anyway, you may find use of it later. Then, play everybody's favorite game... Rock the pod back and forth until it falls over. That might break it open.

TRY ALL THE BUTTONS!

grope everything around you until something happens.

Punch trees.

>The only thing that's supposed to be in the compartment is a first aid kit. I don't think that's going to do me too much good right now...

Well who knows whether anything's in there that's NOT supposed to be in there? Let's check.

"Even more disjointed than usual?" ...Sounds probable. What are we again?

Are there even any buttons to push? If not, check for touchscreens.

There aren't any buttons. Or touchscreens. I don't even know where the door on this thing is.

I can check the compartment, though.

... There's no first aid kit in here. But there is some other stuff...

A laser pistol. Well, that's nice to have if I run into trouble. If this planet is livable, there's probably something living on it already.

... is that a translator box? I didn't think I even had one of those. They're pretty damn expensive. Who the hell were those guys, and why did they set me up like this?

A communicator!

...

A broken communicator. This just got a lot more complicated...

>>349853
Maybe you're actually on a reality television show, or they're setting up a "game" like in the Saw films.

Try rocking the pod back and forth to see if you can knock it over.

Wait, you know this is an escape pod, you know the drawers and readouts and even know what the drawers normally contain, but don't know where the door is?

>>349897

There might not be a standard hatch; it could be a malleable metal design that can form a hatch where needed.

In which case he's not really looking for the hatch, but the code to make a hatch appear in a useful and safe place.

the door is to your left. go left. always go left.
