When he got back to Lifepod he started on completing number 3 on his checklist, which is making equipment needed to survive, firstly among them was the oxygen tank, after he made it, he also made the scanner tool, which could help him acquire more blueprints that are not within the standard emergency blueprints

But that is not all that the scanner tool can do it can also...

Handheld Scanner

The essential science and survival tool, the scanner can be used to add new blueprints to memory and analyze unknown entities.

It emits electromagnetic radiation in the specified direction, which is reflected by the environment and then analyzed to determine the physical make-up of the targeted object. It has four primary functions.

Blueprint Acquisition:

Record the physical parameters of scanned technologies to add their blueprints to the PDA databank. These blueprints may then be constructed at the appropriate fabricator. The scanner is also equipped to break down damaged and otherwise useless devices into their base metals for salvage purposes.

Organism Analysis:

The scanner will attempt to match scanned organisms against the onboard database. If no match is found then the species will be assigned an easy-to-remember name, and a new databank entry will be created. Your PDA's AI will also attempt to synthesize theories on behavioral tendencies and evolutionary origins where possible, as well as deliver assessments on how best to approach them.

Medical Analysis:

Scanning any living organism will display basic information on their state of health on the scanner's HUD. This information will be limited without access to a network database.

Technology Analysis:

Scanning pieces of technology will display its information and construction

Self-Scan:

The user may run a self-scan to determine their own physical well-being. The scanner will search for foreign bacteria and other signs of ill health, and compare with available data to provide a diagnosis.

So he moved on to number 4 on the checklist, which is inspecting the Lifepods systems, and lucky for him he had all the knowledge required how to solve all the errors, thanks to the memories of Ryley. So the first thing he has to do is make a welding tool.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"PDA What materials are required to make the welding tool?"

"Materials required to make the welding tool are Sulfur, Battery, and Titanium"

"Can you scan the local area for Sulfur?" he asked the PDA

"Scanning Initiated, Detecting sulfur deposits in the local cave systems."

So he followed the directions of the PDA all the way down into the caves, but when he entered them he heard a whistling sound and a red one-eyed fish started swimming towards him at a breakneck pace, he started swimming away, and thank god he did because as soon as he moved away it exploded.

So he went deeper into the cave this time with much more vigilance, and he found out that the sulfur the PDA was detecting was in fact originating from within the explosive red fish, apparently, they use the sulfur to explode, so he picked up the sulfur, and went back up to the Lifepod. He fabricated the welding tool and he used it to repair the Lifepod's secondary systems, as soon as the repairs finished a mechanical voice sounded out from the Lifepod.

"Lifepod secondary systems online. Running full environment diagnostic and outputting results to the databank."

4546B Environment Scan

- Category 3 Ocean planet

- Oxygen/Nitrogen Atmosphere

- Extensive biodiversity

Safety Warnings:

- May support leviathan class predators

- Water contaminated with high levels of foreign bacteria

- Planet is beyond federation space, rescue unlikely

It is not recommended to explore this environment without hazardous material suits and extensive support apparatus.

"Leviathan class? PDA What are Leviathan class predators?"

"Displaying Databank Information on Leviathan class organisms"

LEVIATHAN CLASS ORGANISMS

Leviathan is a classification given to extremely large creatures of the universe, some can even reach the size of small starships. Although most people think that the leviathan classification is exclusive to predatory life forms, this is not the case; any fauna species of a suitable size can be classified as a Leviathan.

"No, no no no no no no, I don't believe that I could be this UNLUCKY, whatever God put me here F*** YOU!"

After that brief period of overwhelming panic, Mike was already thinking of how to get the hell off this planet, but the first step of doing that was repairing the radio systems, so he quickly went on to do just that. After finishing the repairs the same voice again sounded out.

"Radio online. Broadcasting emergency distress signal."

"RADIO: This is Aurora. Distress signal received.

The rescue operation will be dispatched to your location in 9...9...9...9...9... hours.

Continue to monitor for emergency transmissions from other lifepods."

After that he immediately fell asleep on the hard metallic floor of the Lifepod.
