July 1, 2012: Construction of the International Space Station is completed. Call goes out for employees of all nationalities to man the station: astronauts, physicists, chemists, doctors, etc.
July 30, 2012: After undergoing a series of intensive physical and mental tests, you are hired as an astronaut for the International Space Station.
August 2, 2012: Artemis 16, the manned flight to Mars, is successfully launched from the I.S.S. On September 7, 2014, astronauts Joseph Arlington(of the United States of America) and Jian Guo Li(of the Peoples' Republic of China) become the first human beings to set foot on Mars. August 21, 2012: The I.S.S. launches a series of satellites and robots destined for Venus. These objects all reach the planet successfully, and unprecedented amounts of information are gathered about the second planet in the solar system.
September 19, 2014: Dr. Dietrich Beckenbauer, Sc.D., acting director of the I.S.S., announces the intention to launch another, highly ambitious project. The I.S.S. intends to put human boots on the planet Venus by the year 2019 at the latest. This project is dubbed Dionysus.
January 11, 2015: You are selected by the I.S.S. as one of the astronauts to be sent to Venus. You begin extensive training for this mission.
April 16, 2018: Five astronauts that were selected for the Venus mission are sent into space on Dionysus 4.
April 30, 2018: Dionysus 4 sustains serious damage to its fuel tanks and is ordered to return to the I.S.S. immediately. The mission is aborted.
May 7, 2018: Dionysus 4 is unable to reach the I.S.S. as it is captured by the gravitational pull of a large nearby meteoroid and driven far off course. By the time it recovers from the meteoroid, it has lost its bearings.
May 21, 2018: Dionysus 4 has lost the last vestiges of its fuel by this point. Communications from the shuttle and her crew have all ceased, and the crew is given up for dead. In the public uproar following the incident, Dr. Daniel Lancaster, the longtime head of engineering sciences at the I.S.S., is forced to resign.
May 29, 2018: Dionysus 4, which has been drifting in space for the last week, is caught in the gravitational pull of an invisible black hole. It crosses the horizon line. The shuttle and her crew are nearly crushed before, by some chance miracle, it is ejected into space when the massive gravity of the black hole suddenly shifts.
June 8, 2018: The Dionysus 4 and her crew are caught once again in the gravitational pull of an alien planet, and bail out into seperate escape pods before crashlanding on the surface. ____________________ -----Registration-----

"I think it's a wise choice, Ringo. If you're not comfortable taking the Triad technology, you could try to learn from it and manufacture them later. Technology is a powerful thing. On Earth, we have weapons that will decimate entire cities in seconds."

Skrakk. Your character has yet to meet Ringo.
Skrakk's brow furrows.
'While we have no such weapons, it seems barbarious to do such a thing.'

"I see..." Leonhardt says. He appears to be deep in thought, and pauses for a moment, but continues quickly enough. "So, you say that there were five astro-nauts sent into space on this Dionysus 4? You are one of them, of course. Do you have any idea what happened to the other four? I plan to launch a rescue operation to save them immediately, you see. If there is even the slightest chance that one of them is alive, we cannot simply abandon them. You agree, do you not?" He continues without waiting for an answer. "You are very lucky that we found you: this planet is very dangerous. If by some miracle any of the others are still alive, they will not stay that way for long on their own. Unless, of course, there was any emergency technology on the escape pods? Weapons? First-aid kits? Any information you have on the others would be very helpful...not for us, but for them. The more knowledge we have, the quicker we can find them. And the quicker we can find them, the higher their chances of survival. So...do you know anything? Anything at all? Every little thing counts, and the survival of your friends may depend on it!"

Oh... He found a loophole...
Ringo speaks.
'This is a rifle, not a gun. Put this part to your shoulder' He points at the stock. 'Then, use your finger to pull on this, the trigger, like so. A bolt of high-frequency energy will fly out at whatever you're aiming at. Your sights are set at a few hundred yards, so at close range this is really just a fancy club.'

Rubbing, rubbing, rub...bing... Awkward.
'There a squad or so of Triad Soilders coming are way. We're going to meet them head on, and hopefully cause enough damage to get them to retreat. Simple really, but they've got better guns and such.'
As Ringo says this, you leave the swamp, and enter into a plain. Theres not too many trees, and many hills gently roll.
we did have a first aid kit... although no weapons on board.
it was just a expedition, we werent going to war...
Leonhardt seems slightly disappointed, but he shakes it off quickly enough. "It is all right," he says. "We will still try to find your friends, of course. Without any information on their condition or location, it's a long shot, but we should still try. If you think of anything, anything at all, let me know. I'll be back to talk to you later, but for now I think we're done." He stands and leaves.
