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-----

The boot lets off, and you're lifted off the ground. You're brought up to stare into the yellow eyes of a wolf-like face. Its covered in a shaggy fur, and his mouth is formed into a sinister grin.

'Ringo', for that is his name, opens his mouth to retort, then closes it. Opens it, then closes it. His brow furrows.
The second voice laughs, then speaks:
'Hes got you there Ringo'.
You look over, and see a female. Same general features as Ringo, but perhaps less thuggish in nature. She winks at you.

Thanks m8. Most of the credit goes to Hyper, who made up most of the story.
Also, I'm only counting up 29 points in your skills. You have 30 to spend total, so just chuck another point in there.

[Oh, crap. I'm not good at debates in which I have no evidence...
Question: "...no one has ever ventured deeply into the Triad camp and returned alive."
Is he saying that my crash location was deep in Triad territory? Or does this mean that the Triads live on a distant planet...?]
Mind racing, I search for something that will prove my innocence...

Good question. What he means is that you can't have stolen the equipment for yourself, because the Triad has tight security and kills anyone on sight.

I think for a moment and say "Well, these Triad thugs sound pretty nasty. Perhaps I could be of help...?".
To be honest, my brother is the one that should be taking credit for that one... we were watching this series, and some guy took about 4 seconds to say what he meant to (it seemed intentional, but the mouth's movements were similar to what you described), so he just said that. Mostly I am responsible for my own humour, but this one was all him .
Also, this is the last post from me for the night.

Don't worry about it. Lets get started then.
Your escape pod lands rather steeply into the surface of the planet, and you slam against your controls. You must of hit a button, because your radio turns on:
Hear the sound of the falling rain, Coming down like an Armaggeddon flame. The shame, the ones who died with out a name.
Hear the dogs howling out of key, To a hymn called 'Faith and Misery'. And bleed, the company that lost the war to death'*
You must have lost the signal, because the song fades out...
What do you do? (Though its always assumed that you will act after I post ^^)

Excellent
Your escape pod reaches the surface of the planet without a hitch. It skips off the ground once, then the 'Object Collision' alert comes on. You press a few buttons, checking for a mal function, but you're automatically ejected from the craft.
As your chute opens, you watch your pod skip once more, before hitting a vehicle of some sorts. It explodes into a fireball, and a few people run out, on fire.
You land safely.
What do you do?

Nice. Night m8.
Ringo laughs loudly, and his spittle flies into your face. He sets you down, and continues laughing. Even Lunesta smirks before she speaks:
'You must not have seen the Triad. They've got armor, guns, and technology. You just have...' She looks at your weapons. 'Well, we'll get you something later on. You're with us now.'
