A Tale of Survival Ep. 2

I recommend the name Paris. If our ally's name is Hector, he reminds me of the prince and greatest fighter of Troy, Hector, in Greek mythology. So, naturally, if he is our ally, we should be Paris as in the king of Troy, thief of Helen, and murderer of Achilles, the invincible.

I select B and keep an eye out for food of any sort. Who knows what they eat at that time?

I say, Option E.

Explanation,
Scout the surrounding area to get an idea of the geography of the place you landed at, find available sources of food and water, and set up camp in the best place possible.

E! If there is anything I learned with my experience with Crapcom and their Dead Rising series is that anything you find can be made into a half-assed monster of a weapon. So I would find a leaf blower, rocks, and the data pad and turn it into a SMART★ROCK SHOOTER, with a weird combo of duck tape and all the previously mentioned material. TAKE THAT LOGIC!!!! Also, find orange juice since you can down a gallon of it in one gulp and replenish health with it.

You begin to walk through the jungle with Hector analyzing what you see. The trees here grow tall and the leaves are large and thick. They are in fact large enough to probably support your weight as well as Hector who is a bigger man. They also boast thick vines similar to chains that hold ship anchors. The foliage is thick and lush blooming in many different colors. Among the colors, shades of green, red, and purple are the most dominant. "Paris!" you here Hector scream. "Come over here!"
You make your way towards the commotion and ask what he wanted you to see. Hector tosses you a large oval shaped fruit. "What is this?" you ask.
"Soft root," he says. "Peel the skin off and eat it. Just don't eat the seeds in the middle or you'll suffer partial paralysis."
You peel the skin off and bite into the soft mass as Hector leans himself against the gigantic tree root. "This is sweet," you say. "How'd you know about this?"
"When you're a wanted man in fifteen sectors of the world, you know how to survive on base things"
"You're a convict?"
"Yup, born and raise to be a criminal in Trinity colony. You know? The planet with the highest crime rate?"
"I know, I'm just a simple man from earth."
"That's what I thought when I saw you passed out in the plane with the other 22 people. Who'd have thought you'd wake up and put up such a fight?"
"You mean there's 22 more of us?"
"12 now, since we had to fight for the parachutes. Well technically 13 since we both lived. And don't take yourself as just a simple man."
"Why's that?"
"These hunters know what they want. They don't just randomly choose people, they have good reason."
"But..." Before you can finish, you here a noise in the shrubbery. "Did you hear that?"
"What are you talking about?" asks Hector.

A.Quietly investigate the noise
B.Hold your position
C.Get some height and investigate from the trees
D.Shout "Who's there?"
E.Other

Hard to say. I think A might be the most logical.

If this was a movie, the characters would go for D but I ain't no stupid movie character, so OPTION A.

Hector ducks down behind the large tree root and looks at you. "You're much smaller than me," he says. "You check it out, you'll be quieter."
"Got it," you say. You vault over the root and move your way towards the shrubbery. You look at the leaves where the noise originated from and stand intently. After concentrating so long on the leaves, you missed to notice that there is a ray of light shining down from above. You look up to see that there are inconsistencies in the thicket of leaves. They do not provide a full blanket over the sky and there are patches where light shine's through. You notice the sunlight here is much brighter than it was back on earth. You look back once more in the bushes and your suspicion has vanished. As you are about to signal Hector, you feel a chill run down your spine. It's just a hunch, but something does not feel right. You decide to:

A.Ignore the hunch
B.Pick up something nearby and throw it pass the leaves
C.Quietly step into the light
D.Shout "Who's There?"
E.Other

B. All I can say.

You look back at the leaves and the large tree beyond it. You stare for a moment before taking action. You search the ground for a rock and find one. You then pick it up an throw it passed the leaves. Nothing happens. You feel relieve and look at Hector once more. He stops hunching behind the large tree root and smiles. You smile back and begin to walk towards him. As you do, you here a noise from above. You look up and see a woman dropping down from the tree. She lands on you leaving you on your stomach with a sharpened tree branch ready to sink into your neck. Hector rushes for you and the woman screams, "DON'T MOVE!!! OR HE DIES!" She looks at you once more and asks, "I'm from the plane. Now, who are you two?"

A.Try to surprise her and turn the tables
B.Make a gesture at Hector to attack the girl if you distract her
C.Say nothing
D.Tell her everything
E.Other

Tied between C and D. The status quo demands you to relinquish your knowledge, but that's why it's equally frustrating for the interrogator if you don't. However, seeing as this situation seems like a survivor game, she could probably not care less if you die. So, D.

The choices aren't very nice..... Well, option D with a little twist. Tell her everything while convincing her to let you go. Don't shout at her. Talk softly and politely.

"I was on the plane too!" you exclaim. "And so was this man. Listen, you're making a mistake. If we were anywhere else, I'd have no problems with us hating each other. But we're in the middle of nowhere. We need to work together."
"Listen to the kid," Hector says now slowly walking towards the woman.
The woman loosens her grip hesitantly before letting go. "You're right," she says. "I've never been good with my social skills, I am a vigalante after all."
You slowly get up and ask, "What do you mean?"
"My name's Celia," the woman says. "I'm from Hephaestus colony."
"The Celia?!" asks Hector surprised. "The best escape artist in the univeres or so they say?"
"Nobody can run and vanish as fast as I can," says Celia.
"Then you'll make a fine addition to our group. I'm paris by the way, and this is Hector," you say. You look at Hector and say, "A top class vigalante and a world class criminal. Still sure they didn't make a mistake about me?"
"Positive," says Hector.
"So what do we do for now?" Hector and Celia ask.
"Hmmm, it is getting dark..." you say.

A.Learn how to make and arm yourself with weapons from Celia
B.Continue to search for food
C.Set up camp close to one of the big trees
D.Betray Celia
E.Other

C and then A. A might help you get B later.

"Let's set up camp," you say. After several hours, the three of you establish a small base of operations. Hector is climbing up the trees and fashioning bedrolls with the leaves. While he's busy, you speak to Celia about making weapons. She reveals that the rocks that rest near the tree roots are sharp and good for carving pieces of wood into pointed weapons. The rocks themselves are too small to be fashioned into anything more than a weapon carver however. "This is brilliant," you say. "If we can just find bigger chunks of these rocks, we can fashion ourselves better weapons than these sticks."
"I know," says Celia smiling. "We'll see what happens, providing we survive that long."
You begin to start a small fire as Hector climbs down from the tree. He throws some of the soft root directly into the fire. "Take them out after a few minutes, the fire makes them taste better. And I've scoured above the branches, nothing should be hitting us tonight. If so, well, we best be ready."
"Don't worry too much," says Celia. "While Paris was carving the weapons, I carved some large pieces of wood and stuck them to the ground near the edged of the tree roots. They'll have to get around that spiked fence first which I litered with dead leaves so that we can hear them."
"You two have this down," you say impressed. "Let's hope I can learn from you." You all go to sleep. You are the first to wake and the sun has yet to rise. You guess there is about about five to six more hours before your datapad announces the second test. You decide to:

A.Leave the camp and travel on your own
B.Go search for food and patrol the area
C.Wake up Hector or Celia and go search for food and scan the area
D.Lay for a while more until the sun rises
E.Other

B. Get some bearings going, never know what the second task will require.

Agree with Option B. Getting a little knowledge of the surroundings is vital for survival.

You let Celia and Hector be. You pick up two of the wooden spears and make your way to the end of your v-shaped camp until you reach the edge of the tree roots where Celia made the crude spiked fence. You take a deep breath and step out. You wander around for a little bit no more than half a mile around the camp. You see the occasional small animal that is unlike anything you have seen but seems to share the qualities of animals on Earth. Other than that, it seems as if every direction you look continues on in an infinite sea of trees. You remember when you were flailing in the air and how you saw there were parts of the island without trees. You then start to think that this island must be bigger than you had first believed. Suddenly, you hear a noise from the thicket. You:

A.Run back to camp
B.Shout "Who's there?"
C.Rush towards the thicket
D.Hold your ground
E.Other

D. I expect some animal and want Paris to hunt it for food.

Option D arranged. I would hide behind a nearby tree or something as precaution.

You hold your ground. Nothing happens, but the noises remain. You look behind you and notice a rock. As you run towards it for cover, you see a wolf like creature jump on top of it. It has no fur and has six legs as well as boasting to tails. It's face holds no eyes but it stares at your direction none the less growling at you. It reveals it's fangs and jumps off the rock. You quickly grab one of the spears and throw it at the beast. It strikes it in the chest and it starts to flail around wildly before ceasing all movement. Before you can recover the spear, you here a pouncing noise from the thicket. You turn to see another one leaping at you. You have an instant to:

A.Cower
B.Duck
C.Toss a spear at it
D.Run
E.Other
