AD-hoc was about to praise Pergano's piloting when it occurred to him that he's never complimented anyone before. He says 'Your piloting skills are above average. I will begin calculating the most efficient location to begin our search' before returning to work on the computer.
OOC:
I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, unless AD-hoc isn't in the scene I'm going to assume he's our go to for computer checks.

AD-hoc begins scanning the planet, using the pod data to determine a starting point, it only takes a couple hours to narrow it down to an area a few thousand kilometers in diameter. You'll need to enter the atmosphere and make some mid level sweeps to see if you can home in on the ship or it's debris.
OOC:
Any thoughts or actions before we move planet side? If we were sitting at the table, there would be a couple more dice rolls, but, at this point, finding the ship is inevitable, all you'd be rolling for is 'how long' it takes.

Ken is still on edge after his encounter with his fellow Rodians. He knows Rodians are relentless hunters and he continues to scan the area looking for pursuers.

Blih cannot help much as the crew maneuver the ship and sensors. He stays close in case he can help with visual confirmation with his sharp eye, but mainly he tries not to get in the way.

Pergano looks as the planet as the scans finish up, as much as he wants to stay on the ship he knows the real reward will be with finding the ship on the surface and bringing it to Isotech.

As the ship crisscrosses the search area for the last time, AD-hoc is sure he's narrowed the crash site to a 10km x 30km rectangle. The thick canopy of jungle makes it nearly impossible to make out which direction the ship was traveling when it hit, but the debris spread gives a clue. AD-hoc identifies for Pergano a likely landing site. You'll be setting down in a 'clearing' that's just a little smaller than the ship. You should be at one end or the other of the Sa Nalaor's crash.

Once landed, the steam off of the ships hull is thick as the humid air heats up even more than usual. Lowering the ramp your greeted with a rush of tropical smells. Life, in all it's glory, is plentiful in this jungle. A few km's north of your position should be where you may start encountering remains of the ship.

Pergano grabs his blaster and checks the ship one more time before going to the common areas.

We ready for this?

Strapping on his blaster and grabbing a medpac, Ken slaps Pergano on the back, 'Born ready my friend.'

He makes his way down the ramp into the lush jungle smells. Although he was raised on an urban world something about the verdent foliage triggers a deep genetic longing. 'Ah, smells like home.'
OOC:
Ken will use his Survival to look for any imminent signs of danger in the natural environment - assuming Average diff

AD-hoc was, excited he thinks the word is, for this adventure on a new world. He was about to go collect the things he felt he would need before realizing everything he owned was on him already. 'Ready, although I can not speak for the rest of the crew.'

Blih hesitate a bit, unsure of how much of a liability he would be traveling in the jungle.

"Just tell me what you need me to do. Am I gonna need one of those?"

Blih points to Pergano's and Ken's blasters. His tone shows either a lack of confidence in his skill with blasters or a slight disdain of weapons in general. Probably both.
OOC:
Jeswain was our scout, are we gonna use his lead for this part as an NPC?
Apr 12, 2021 8:32 pm
Ken strolls back into the ship and returns with a blaster pistol he recovered from the Rodians. 'You need to be prepared to use it.' He throws the weapon to Blih.
OOC:
Well clearly Ken is no use as a scout!
Apr 12, 2021 10:01 pm
Blih catches the blaster well enough and get his stuff to go out with the crew.
OOC:
If its survival roll, Blih could have decent rolls by cunning alone. Though I would expect some setback dice if he is not backed by someone with actual training :P

Pergano stares at Blih

Jungles like this are never 100% safe, if we can get by without the blasters we will but...bantha poodoo happens, you know? Just relax and help as best you can

OOC:
I will run Jeswain as your scout, no convenient place to swap out crew at the moment. Blih, no setbacks for not being trained, but it's just the 2 green for you Agility.
Jeswain consults with AD-hoc, getting a bearing and checking the location of the Sun versus the North/South reading on his datapad. Checking the flap on his holster, he nods at what looks to be an solid wall of trees and vines. We can head off that way, the wreckage should be easier to spot since we're on the ground. Keep a sensor out for the wildlife, sounds like they ran off when we landed, but I imagine their curiosity will get the better of them soon enough.

He strides forward into the jungle. As you move to follow him, you hear the sound of the ramp retracting. Dancy is locking up the ship, she'll be awaiting your signal if you need her to move the ship closer to anything you find.
OOC:
Please provide an Average (2P) Perception check as we start our trek.

AD-hoc stepped out of the ship and into the jungle. Definitely different that his previous urban settings, but traversing it shouldn't be a problem.

Fairly sure there's nothing hostile out there right now, Ken nonchalantly strolls into the jungle looking casually around.

The journey is rough and hot, most of the group spots occasional dangerous looking plants or the eyes of a strange creatures easing toward them. Ken, happily takes random shots at the creatures that he sees and even a couple that Blih spots and points out. The noise and impact of the blaster bolts seems sufficient to scatter most of the creatures you see. Pergano, head down and using all his limbs to traverse the rugged ground witnesses none of this, and is occasionally startled by the sudden blaster fire. A couple hours pass this way until...

Ahead, you see a narrow, winding valley, one of many cutting through the rugged and overgrown terrain. A small river is visible through the trees. A rocky dam at the southern end creates a long, oblong lake filling much of the valley floor behind it.
After a moment, you realize that the dam is actually the rusted hulk of a ship, jammed between the rocky outcroppings of the opposing bluffs. The color is similar to that of the surrounding rocks. Water pours through huge holes in the hull, flowing through the decks and out through engines, among other exit points, until it plunges down a series of natural falls and continues south.

'A ship that has been flushed and is currently full of water, will be significantly harder to search for valuable information.' the droid says, not aware he is stating the obvious.
