Get some shut-eye.

If you came here from Move the stasis pod. and kept the Captain alive.

All right. Let's think through things here, try and figure out what my next move is.

```

```
The stasis pod is humming along nicely, keeping the Captain alive and well. Or at least alive.

```

```
Still, as long as the ginny is powering the pod, there's no way for me to fire up either the distress beacon or the gun turret.

```

```
I'm not so worried about the turret -- I seriously doubt there's anything else living on this rock besides me...

```

```
...but without the beacon, how will anyone know I'm here and alive? How will I ever get rescued?

```

```
After everything... I can't unplug the Captain for my own sake.

```

```
Can I?

```

### Options

* Keep powering the pod.
* Power the beacon.

### Previous Options

* Try the galley.
* Stick with rat food.

## Storyline B: Keep trying the door./Forget it for now./Try the lab./Stick with rat food.

If you came here from Keep trying the door., Forget it for now., Try the lab., or Stick with rat food.

```
All right. Let's think through things here, try and
figure out what my next move is.

```

```
And hey, just to add to the magic: It's getting
dark, and it's getting really cold.

```

```
Tau Ceti is down now, and I don't mind telling you,
it's darker than a goth kid's journal, and colder
than the prom queen's shoulder.

```

```
So, uh, here are my options, as I see 'em.

```

```
I can stay here in the wreckage -- although without
power to the ship, I can't reseal any door I've
opened.

```

```
So I'll have a roof over my head, sure, but I'll be
exposed to the elements.

```

```
Or, I can head around to the rear of the ship and
pitch a tent near the reactor engine...

```

```
...which is nice and toasty warm -- I can tell from
the squiggly heat lines it's sending off into the
night.

```

```
(You like that science-speak? "Squiggly heat
lines?" That's some advanced-level terminology,
right there.)

```

```
Only problem there is, there's radiation involved
in that engine, and I'm not precisely sure whether
it's enough to roast me overnight.

```

```
So, would you mind doing a little research for me?

```

```
If I get about 150 rads overnight, will that kill
me? My IEVA suit sensor tells me that's about what
it's giving off.

```

```
Can you look that up and let me know whether it'd
toast my marshmallows? Thanks.

```

```
[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
So, uh, hopefully you had a chance to look that up, because it's getting really, just stupidly cold here.

```

```
What's the verdict? Should I just layer up under whatever cover I can find and spend the night shivering in the Varia?

```

```
Or risk radiation poisoning by cuddling up to a faulty fusion reactor?

```
