Pilot decided to a beach trip to the resort. Spent an half hour relaxing by this cave I found, photo attached.
I found it by accident with my GF, there was some anomaly here a few days ago, she dug out a lot of weird stuff with it, many of it precursor. I'd be happier with her here but I think it would be rude to wake her. It's been useful to calm down after an eventful shift. I took some photos of the wilderness but the camera bugged out of me. Robocist-T claims it was bluespace interference, and it's been a while since I last used one.
Most of the shift was talking until the gateway, I would have rather stayed station side and poke the underdark a bit. I think the mimics have started taking the form of trees now, or at least that's easier to explain to the station than trees chasing me down. I got very lucky, I waited a few seconds eating a ration pack, when I went through the receiving gate was uncalibrated. Both the PF-H and Pilot were surrounded by those things. We seemed to have three of them each like someone placed them there, mine decided to go after the pilot. I tried to return fire with my hold out but I think it only got me on their raider. They started to drift towards me, dragging a trail of snow, the rest behind it after they one punched the pilot. Worse thing still in the snow we were equal speed. Only catching up to me when I had to doge a real tree unable to do anything but run in a straight line. Wasn't until I found a shuttle landing pad I could outrun them. The outpost wasn't powered, did let me crowbar doors, likely access restricted. Not sure anyone actually believed me when I got back. PF-B has shot many of those fake trees before, not sure even he believed me when I asked for help over the radio. Had I not had paranoia drilled into me from other PFs dieing I'd be stuck there alone, no other use I've found for a multi-tool.
Officer A came will full riot gear, laser rifle and shield included. I think it gave her a fighting chance against one to be honest, managed to distract one off her and she wasn't dead when I ditched it and returned.
I'm having to make my own way back next shift, I didn't pay attention to what the pilot was doing so now I'm stuck here. Beats a spaceship anyway.
