Radiation sickness, maybe?

## Dialogue

```
Oh. God. You think? I don't feel bad, or anything. No headache, no nausea, nothing like that.

```

```
In fact -- apart from the whole "lost in space" aspect of things -- I actually woke up feeling really good this morning.

```

```
It's just... green spit IS a little weird, huh?

```

```
Man. I sure hope it's not radiation poisoning. It'd be tough finding a matching bone marrow donor around here.

```

```
Anyway, rat pellets don't taste much better.

```

```
...but I gotta do SOMETHING to get this weird flavor out of my mouth.

```

```
Let me choke down enough of these to keep body and soul together.

```

```
[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
Well, that was... "delicious" isn't quite the word I'm searching for.

```

```
Maybe "sustenance" is. And maybe just barely.

```

```
But it should hold body and soul together for today's field trip.

```

```
Should be plenty of time to go check out that strange peak to the north...

```

```
...and still make it back to the Varia well before nightfall.

```

```
Just one more pass over the ship, make sure everything's locked down...

```

```
[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
Back to where my escape pod came down. Looks like it rolled over during the night.

```

```
I guess the wind caught the 'chute and dragged it a little ways?

```

```
Damn. Must've been some pretty high winds. It moved probably ten feet.

```

```
But, hey, that's only -- what -- three meters? Three doesn't sound so far.

```

```
Things are less freaky in metric.

```

```
[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
Damn! Looks like the path I was on is blocked off.

```

```
I was tracing this shallow canyon, but I hit this huge boulder. Way too big to climb over.

```

```
What do you reckon... should I look for some quick way around it?

```

```
Or back out of the canyon and try another path altogether?

```

#### Options

* Find a way around.
* Back out of the canyon.

#### Previous Options

* Ugh. Thanks for sharing.
* Camp out by the reactor.

## Storyline B: Stick with rat food./Get some shut-eye.

*If you came here from Stick with rat food. or Get some shut-eye. and decided not to explore the galley but explored the lab.*

...and then I'm packing some rat food and water, and heading out.

```

```
I'll keep you posted along the way.

## Storyline C: Get some shut-eye.

*If you came here from Get some shut-eye. and decided not to explore the galley nor the lab.*

```
Oh. God. You think? I don't feel bad, or anything. No headache, no nausea, nothing like that.

```

```
In fact -- apart from the whole "lost in space" aspect of things -- I actually woke up feeling really good this morning.

```

```
It's just... green spit IS a little weird, huh?

```

```
Man. I sure hope it's not radiation poisoning. It'd be tough finding a matching bone marrow doner around here.

```

```
Anyway. Wish I'd found any kind of food yesterday.

```

```
Not just because I'm weak as hell and my stomach is starting to eat itself...

```

```
...but because I'd love to have something to get this weird taste out of my mouth.

```

```
I'm gonna poke around one last time, see if I can find anything at all to eat.

```

```
There's that corridor that branches off to the lab and the galley (the door to which is burnt pretty severely).

```

```
Or else I can keep hunting through the rest of the ship.

```

#### Options

* Try that corridor
* Try the rest of the ship.

#### Previous Options

* Get some shut-eye.
* Camp out by the reactor.

### Subchoice A: Keep powering the pod.

*This is additional dialogue that appears whenever you choose the option Keep powering the pod. and keep Captain Aya alive.*

```
Well, that was... "delicious" isn't quite the word I'm searching for.

```

```
Maybe "sustenance" is. And maybe just barely.

```

```
But it should hold body and soul together for today's field trip.

```

```
The generator's still humming along happily, powering the stasis pod...

```

```
...and Captain Aya's still stable inside. I'd prefer "healed," but oh well.

```

```
I guess when it comes to miracle technology, you take what you can get.

```

```
Anyway, with her stowed safely away, I can step out for a few hours.

```

```
Should be plenty of time to go check out that strange peak to the north...

```

```
...and still make it back to the Varia before nightfall.

```

```
Just one more pass over the ship, make sure everything's locked down...

```

### Subchoice B: You need that beacon.

*This is additional dialogue that appears whenever you choose the option You need that beacon. and power the beacon over Captain Aya.*

```
Well, that was... "delicious" isn't quite the word I'm searching for.

```

```
Maybe "sustenance" is. And maybe just barely.

```

```
But it should hold body and soul together for today's field trip.

```

```
The beacon's still broadcasting, but screens show no traffic in a day's range.

```

```
So I've got time to go check out that strange peak to the north...

```

```
...and still make it back to the Varia well before nightfall.

```

```
Just one more pass over the ship, make sure everything's locked down...
