Entry 5 - Day 2

 

Okay, my current priorities are; 

• Get the radio working.
• Make sure I have enough food & water.
• Contact any other survivors.
• Stay alive long enough to get rescued.

First on that list is to fix the radio and for that I'll need a repair tool.  The lifepod's fabricator unit has the blueprint for one, but it needs some materials to use in the manufacture; chiefly silicone rubber, sulphur & titanium.  None of which I have...

So, I'll need to leave the lifepod to try and find some, plus I'll need a portable scanner to identify them (or at least find local materials that can be broken down into usable facsimiles).  In which case, going through this logically so that I don't start losing my mind, the first priority is to fabricate a hand-scanner.

Fortunately the PDA has a blueprint for this in its survival database, and would require a battery and some raw titanium.  Neither of which I have...

I know that I can fabricate a battery.  I've done that before to replace the ones in the cleaning equipment on the Aurora.  All I need is something to act as an acid and some copper.  I'll see if the PDA can suggest anything and then I guess it's time to get wet.

Ryley out.
