Chapter 3 - To Cholganna

As you walk forward to the bridge area, Ken continues to point out obvious things and Blih concentrates on the ship and its surroundings. He notices several areas that look like hull plates and bits of machinery have been intentionally removed, some of the vines on the ship look to have been placed rather than grown naturally and as you reach the front of the ship, he notices what appears to be the remains of an encampment just north through the foliage.

Jeswain comms Dancy with your current location and where to bring the ship in. He then takes out the climbing gear from his pack and begins picking a path up to the bridge.

As Pergano, AD-hoc and Jeswain start their ascent up the ship to the bridge, Ken and Blih explorer the remains of an encampment. Blih's trained eyes pick up numerous details. Moving through the vines and undergrowth, Blih discovers a collection of crude shacks, rock encircled fire pits and similar structures that indicate at least 30 or more people could have lived here. Based on the small trees growing up in the midst of the buildings, it seems it was abandoned long ago, perhaps this was the first place for survivors to gather themselves before finding a more suitable encampment.

The climbing team successfully scales the outside of the ship. What was once the bridge is now overgrown with vines, moss, and strange flowering plants. Consoles and electronics have been stripped from their housing. and transparisteel windows are shattered or missing. Even the seats have been salvaged. On closer inspection the shadows seem to crawl, and you can make out small insects and strange amphibians inhabiting the crevices. At the rear of the compartment is a bulkhead leading into the dark recesses of the abandoned hulk. The bulkhead door has been removed, apparently by fusioncutter.
