Survival... Unlikely episode 1

The first episode of Survival... Unlikely.

## Synopsis

The episode opens with a quick timelapse of a sunrise over an Earth-like planet before cutting to Splitsie's perspective as he exits a cryo chamber, who welcomes us to the new series.
Splitsie introduces Capac Amaru, who had somehow been ejected into the bathroom upstairs, apparently through the conveyor system, upon exiting his cryo-tube.
They are on the Crab Juice (although it is not named in this episode), and Splitsie says that Capac is responsible for its colour scheme but doesn't know how it is laid out, so Splitsie gives him the tour.

Mentioning that they have the scarce resources mod, Splitsie turns to Capac for the long-term goal of the series: **They've been sent to this system to set up a refueling platform for an incoming fleet; They need uranium for their reactors.** Splitsie brings up that the uranium is on the alien planet, so they will have to get to space and reach it, and ultimately will want to build the refueling platform above the alien planet. Capac laments that they who dropped them off to build a refueling station dropped them off on the wrong planet in the system - typical.

For now though, Splitsie brings up that they have more immediate problems: firstly, they don't have much power, and since there is no uranium on the planet they are on they will have to get it by stealing from enemies. They also need to deal with getting ammunition, which requires nickel, iron, and magnesium, which are thankfully all found on this planet, as is ice for hydrogen.

Attached to the Crab Juice is a bulldozer, which from context was designed by Capac, but he changed his mind on its bulldozer blade and starts grinding it off to replace it with a new bull-bar.

### Getting Started with Mining

Splitsie starts driving the Crab Juice towards an ore patch that he spotted. Its pointed out that the small vehicle has an ore detector while the large one doesn't. After parking at the ore patch, Splitsie sends Capac out in the bulldozer to search for nickel while he drills iron, magnesium, and silicon.
Splitsie disassembles the metal grids from Capac's bulldozer blade for its nickel and builds a large grid ore detector.

They drive in the Crab Juice and find a boulder of nickel ore. Capac retrieves an unknown signal and finds an enhanced welder.

Splitsie starts modifying the Crab Juice to add an arc furnace.

### Combat

Splitsie says that they may want to find an enemy base to steal uranium from. Capac says he wasn't told anything about enemies when he signed up for this. Capac is cut off by Splitsie spotting a Remote Drone Assembly" base, which is sending a Fleeting Rival drone. The drone appears to crash, though.

They head out together inside the bulldozer towards the crashed drone, which Capac driving and Splitsie in the gunner seat. Another drone comes from the enemy base, which gets shot down by the turret. They loot its remains before driving ahead towards the older crashed drone, which they then approach on foot.

A Spiteful Aggressor drone spawns from the base, prompting the two to urgently run back to the bulldozer. Capac somehow dies, with his body fling off into the air. Splitsie reaches the vehicle and starts driving to evade the drone as it fires a rocket at him. The drone flies away, so Splitsie jetpacks to the crashed Fleeting Rival and loots it.

Splitsie wraps up the episode as they drive the bulldozer back to the Crab Juice.
