It appears you've arrived in a new and mysterious land, possibly hostile. Judging by the harsh, exposed terrain, the atmosphere is sun-baked, dry and hot. Sunstroke and heat are your primary concerns right off the bat.
Quickly, shear yourself. Don't want anything extra to trap heat.

you enter your broken starship

almost all the supplies are gone
you find no survival kit
your "friends" must have parachuted out when your ship got hit
they probably took all the kits with them

there might be a weapon in Hoft's locker, but
he gets real mad when you touch his stuff

Prince begins to charge his eye laser
it will a little while before he has enough energy to vaporize the ship

Energy and animals are east. I'm guessing that's where the city is. Weak plant and animal is west. Keep in mind we had veggie rations... so our buddies are probably west.

Let's go west and pick them up before doing anything else... but first, scan that magnetic signal in a little more detail and track it down if it's really close by.

Got is an understatement. Man that`s -gooie-. How many bullets did those guys use?

Shed a single tear for your fallen Companion, feel guilty for thinking meanly of her earlier. I think our best bet is try to sneak off... they haven't spotted us yet, so lets get out while we still can.

There's no way we're taking three fully armored, and armed Pinkies with a single blaster!

Also what do our Grav boots DO? are they just for walking in 0g Environments or do they have other functions?

For that matter how powerful is that little sidearm? Does it just vaporize targets in one shot or is it similar to a Pinkie pistol?

they're actually called the window corps, but no one calls them that, they call us furry devils, we call em pinkies, as far as the war goes, the second they set foot onto our planets, they opened fire, civilians, soldiers, children, they don't seem to be able to tell the difference, they just gun done everyone
we've been fighting this war for 30 years and we still don't know why

as far as thier gear goes, it's all garbage
thier bullets will have a hard time getting through my combat jacket, I'll be fine as long as they don't shoot me in the head
I don't even know if bullets can hurt robots

there's now way they could miss Prince's charge up, but if he could get if off they'd all be toast, though I guess he could do small blasts as well

Ray tech can either spread the beam, or focus it
a full spread would only shock them, a full focused beam could vapourize a guys head, even if he was wearing a helmet
though, I'm not really good at aiming

grav boots can do a number of things, but they pretty much make you stick or bounce off of stuff

One gun blew up though. And it's uncertain wheter the owner died or not, his breastplate might have shielded him from most of the blast. Although it seems weird that the robot lazers could blow up a ship but now some pinks. Maybe it's less effective on organic compounds or something?

By the way, can you even speak pinko or do you have a translator? Because it could be hard to ask them questions and get useful answers without the ability to communicate. If you can't communicate then just cut their throats with some jagged piece of metal and then loot whatever you find that is useful.

Sure I have. I tend to ignnore it when it's not useful. Right now one of them is dying from bloodless and then possibly infection. And he's very much criplled. We can't take the time needed to treat him and he could inform our enemies about our position. He dies. Other guy can also inform them where we are and what direction we headed in and what gear we have. He dies as well. We don't have the resources to play nice here so sadly they had some very bad luck right now.

I really don't think that random deer aliens are signatories. Also, considering that they rampantly slaughter civilians whenever given the opportunity and nuke cities I'm reasonably certain that neither side in this conflict is paying the laws of war much mind.

Find out if the third member of your crew has been found/killed yet, if you can. Also take anything useful from their gear (grenades, perhaps?) and find out how many more of their forces are in the area before finishing them off.

This guy is no threat, and he's terrified of you. See how well you can extract information from him; if he's cooperative, then treat his wounds and take him with you.
They took a prisoner and are equipped with energy weapons, so you are in dire need of finding out how much else of what you know is false.

After all, how can you trust someone that turns on their own species?

You've got less than two hours to save Mint.

Ask Enrad what's needed to start the vehicle.
Take the cloth and drape them over Prince's arms. Use junk and hard armor to form a crude sun shelter for Mint and Enrad, then head for the vehicle. It should take you less than 15 minutes to walk there, and far less to get it started and drive it back, but setting up a crude shelter is quick and covers contingencies.

Once everybody is loaded onto the vehicle, start heading towards lesser lifesigns in the hopes that your buddy is still alive.

Drag your sorry asses over into the shade of that patrol vehicle that Prince noticed. Then I guess you should figure out what to do. While the pinks are not the monsters you have been told they are, they're not very likely to be nice either when they find out that you were on a run to bomb one of their cities with a nuclear device. Things like that tends to make people upset.

It would probably be a decent idea to dump Prince at some point. It will give you a bit more plausible denial. Then you can say that you really had no idea what the mission was really about and the crazy robot just went off on its own and then there was a big explosion and you were all like "What the fuck?! I have been walking around next to a fucking nuke? My people are crazy!" and hopefully not get sentanced to meet a firing squad at dawn.

Grab as much of the rare/important stuff as you can. leave the common junk.

Get the crawler moving towards the other suspect lifesign you picked up upon leaving your ship.

check med scanner again after doing the recommended treatments from before.

as far as spaceports go, all major exports leave the planet through Parlshima's space harbor, the only other spaceports nearby are owned by smugglers, but those places are infested with pirates.

That looks like a great position to ambush the Giraffe by firing through that crack had you charged down the middle.

Which might mean it's against police vehicles rather than you specifically, but that still doesn't make it friendly.

I'm tempted to just leave him to it and head for the smoke since I can't think of any way to strike up a conversation that doesn't involve an unacceptably high risk of mutilation or getting our ride all shot up.

I cannot endorse any plan that involves anyone shooting up our fine ride.

I mean, how would we do planetside raids as Space Pirates without it?

The only ride finer than the Rampaging Giraffe is the Rampaging Giraffe after being modified by space pirates. It's an all-terrain cherry picker!

What we need is a tank made entirely of chainsaws.

They're getting a ship and then getting the fuck off planet. Go to look for some third fairly neutral faction and seek asylum. Shit be fucked up in these parts of space.

Resupply to hell, figure out what's going on, make sure everyone is alive, and uh, find some way to apologize to the pinky because of obvious reasons.

Defect to the pinkies! Encourage the rest of the army to do the same!
Have hot makeouts with Mint and Hoff!

Anything but this. We will likely be shot if when they discover that we were going to nuke them.

Find out what the pinkies' side of the story as far as the war is concerned. We should decide if we want to defect, or just desert and stop fighting altogether.

What about:

Mix crashed ship parts with the Giraffe.
Make an epic spaceship.

You'll have to ask Mint that one. Something tells me she won't be too optimistic about it.
