## Events

A brief solar flare causes most colonists to remain idle for the day as there's nothing to do in the winter without power. Several colonists struggle with their sensory mechanites and Old very slowly recovers from Malaria. Squirt 3 has more babies which are named Splort, Squirtle and Sports. A third hydroponics bay is constructed for cloth to be used in medicine production.

A defoliator ship crashes northeast from the base and the colonists immediately begin shelling it with mortars. But, a bulk goods trader enters the region directly next to the ship and kills the mechanoids guarding it with no casualties. An unnamed alpaca is gifted to the traders as thanks. Old completely recovers from Malaria but its taken it's toll. He's become very slow and his age is showing clearly. Due to his dementia, he wanders around the base in a daze several times. Chat suggests attempting to revive Speedy but Vinny says its unlikely to happen or be worth it.

Progress on the ship grounds to a halt with a lack of gold and advanced components. Deep drilling continues to steadily supply the colony with steel, but the lack of gold is a separate issue. The hard winter continues on slowly. Vinny ponders the base's defenses, adding another autocannon near the hydroponics bay and thickening some of the exterior walls to deter sapper raids. A medium psychic drone drags down the men in the colony. Hatsune wanders in a daze and Borglar goes on a tantrum before being arrested until he calms down.

For a quest, Transport pods and pod launchers are constructed to easily deliver colonists towards quest locations. A trade ship passes over and sells the colony the gold needed for construction. Vinny reminisces on Borfk and the various yorkies the colony once had. Flowers comes down with muscle parasites. A manhunting pack of huskies arrives from the south and chase down Linda. She fights off several with her sword and shield belt but is ultimately knocked down. The huskies charge the chokehold and are shot down, allowing Karen to rescue Linda who lies on the opposite side of the base.

Dreeb, Karen, and Otter are launched towards the quest and are met with manhunting caribou which surround and incapacitate Dreeb who landed far from the others. Karen is attacked and downed as well leaving the medically untrained Otter to take care of the two. Key loads herself into another transport pod and moves to the injured colonists so she can heal them herself. Dreeb gets an infection in his injured leg so Key tends to it as well. They begin building transport pods to return home.

At home, an Unga raid attacks the colony, avoiding the chokehold and instead breaking in around the exposed ship and barn. With minimal turret fire, the colonists have to fight mostly on their own. Harold is surrounded and killed by several raiders. The raiders break into the storage room and decide to steal things and leave, but the colonists make a line of soldiers to stop them from leaving. The raiders are all killed by the defending colonists. Morepaca and Alpoggers are severely injured but rescued. The four separated colonists then use transport pods to hurry home.

Alpoggers is attacked by a bear and is unable to be saved before the bear kills it. Key and Old kill the bear soon after. A baby alpaca is then named Alpoggers II. An infestation rises out from a deep drill. The colonists run into the base and to the chokehold. The bugs are killed by the turrets and the colonist's fire. Squirt 3, Sports, and Splort come down with the plague. Another psychic ship with 8 scythers then crashes in the same area as the previous one. While the colony fires on the ship, Ratbor gets too close to the ship and is chased by several mechanoids; getting downed near the exterior wall. Most of the scythers chase Dreeb towards the chokehold where the turrets and other colonists fire on them. Linda saves Ratbor and has Diack tend to her.

Just then, a cougar begins hunting Hatsune who is outside the walls. Most colonists had been busy carrying mechanoid corpses so no one was nearby to help. As Hatsune rushes to the nearby door, the cougar is able to knock him down and kills him. Vinny is upset but mostly undisturbed by Hatsune's death; perhaps used to death on the Rim. A sarcophagus is constructed for Hatsune. Karen, Flowers, Key, and Dreeb take on the remaining scythers and destroy the psychic ship. A man crashes in a transport pod nearby where Hatsune died and is rescued but leaves after recovering. Squirt 3 caves and dies to plague. The stream ends soon after.
