I honestly don't know what I can do here. I am not flying the plane, there's no threats to deal with. Could do someting funny like jump out of the ship but I think it's a bit early for that kind of shenanigans lol.Rawr!

Lol okay.
Thomas and Inferno land the ship successfully, and they breathe a sigh of relief. Selynee has fallen asleep in her seat, and Ico is now relaxing as well.
Then there is a thrumming from the platform as the shield goes up, protecting you as the storm slams into the landing pad. A knock at the entrance hatch on the ships startles you, and you hear a muffled voice say, "Can I come in?"A new R2D game is in signups! Running Alpha v1.3 Link here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=80343

I take a defensive position and aim my CQB-shotgun (that is loaded) directly at the door where the voice spoke from.
Then I shout back in a deep, threatening voice: 'Who are you, what do you want, and do you have any nice guns for sale?Rawr!

I go stand next to Inferno, and prepare to exit and meet what I hope is our new employer. Not holstering my weapon.Rawr!

The man backs away from the door at the sight of all the guns pointed at him. "Whoa! Talk about paranoid. I'm the fellow who called you here, in case you can't tell. I'm one of the few original settlers left in this area."
The man is older, but walks with a natural spring to his step -- somehow he has retained his litheness and flexibility from his younger years. "I'm glad you made it through the storm safely; I've been waiting for you, afraid that you would not make it. Those Elementi can be real pains, can't they?"A new R2D game is in signups!

"Oh, a settler" I mumble to myself, a bit disappointed.
"Elementi? Can you tell us more about them? I believe I was pretty close to establish a meaningful connection with them. Are there native populations living around here?". After a few seconds I add "And, of course, you should tell us why you've called us here..."-

Iconeum is the only one here with survival sense, I see. Someone should check for hull damage as well.
Other notes: Thomas has a big head.

"I'm not saying their instincts didn't tell us we are food. Plus that they probably have a very different understanding of their environment and thus us- I think it might be that they've evolved to see the stimuli in the environment as either "food" or "danger" and simply ignore neutral ones. But you can't deny they posses a form of communication and they shown a certain interest in us"
After a few seconds I add
"if we are ever going to successfully integrate and live our lives here....we should try to find a way to coexist with other beings"-

The man nods. "That's what we call the local life forms around here. They're half-organinc, half-inorganic beings that form and live in this area, which we call the Roil because of it's unpredictability and dangerousness."
The man gives Selynee a weird look before he continues. "I've asked you all here to help the local scientists with an interesting development. An ancient temple has been unearthed deeper in the Roil, and the Elementi have become interested in it, congregating around it and protecting in from approach. We'd like to get a look inside at whatever they are protecting, but they become super aggressive whenever we approach. However, we have managed to discover an alternate entrance through a cave system nearby that should be easier to penetrate. We want you to go in and get pictures of the temple, maybe some samples of the stone and stuff from inside, Find out what the native fauna is so interested in, then bring them back here for us to study."
Thomas is able to appraise and repair most of the damage on the ship. He does discover, however, that one of the engines was damaged in the escape. It will still run, but at far lower power, which will slow down the ship. You won't be able to perform a Mach Burst a second time without getting it fixed and perhaps fortified. (Piloting/repair/construct check, 8+ to repair, 13+ to fortify)
Mod Notes:
Ico, that's going to require a roll.

I'll take my point in piloting since that's what I used.
Then: @Brass Team up on the ship repair?"Do I have permission to....refute some of the bs that Inferno just spewed out?"--TywinL

I'll take a skill point in Diplomacy and call it Parlay.
Thomas looks at the settler and says "Well, we are here, I guess we need to do it. Not my type of job, mind you, but I'm still ready for anything. First things first, my girl here needs some more love, Inferno and I can work on it. Needs to be in tip top shape."
Roll to fix the engine.
