Entry 14 - Day 6

Well, that did not go well.  I found lifepod 3, right where the co-ordinates said, but it had been partially destroyed and there were no signs of life.  

I'm hoping they got out and the damage occurred after they had already left, but I found an abandoned PDA in the wreckage and no one from the Aurora would leave that behind, let alone one of the phase gate engineers.

Anyway, I brought it back with me and managed to sync it with my own PDA.  There was an audio recording on it, probably the last thing they set down.  There were two of them in that lifepod and they were trying to supercharge their seaglide to enable it to carry the two of them.  

Looking at the pics I took of lifepod 3, it almost looks like the damage was caused from the inside.  The metal skin is bent outward, as if a force from inside pushed it out.  Could it be that their jury-rigged seaglide actually exploded and did this?  The one thing that they hoped would carry them to safety was actually what killed them?  I hope not...  I hope they survived whatever happened and made it to that rendezvous, but I won't hold out much hope.

I'm going to keep busy and look over some of the salvage I picked up from the area around lifepod 3 before trying to sleep.  I guess I'll start over again tomorrow.
