Section 1 Crash Site

The description of Crash Site is "Debris is strewn about this outcropping of spongy ground. The wreckage of the starship [italic type]Turing[roman type] lies in crater. It looks salvageable. You can go north, southeast, west, or back inside to your ship."

The wreckage is scenery in Crash Site. The description of wreckage is "The [italic type]Turing[roman type] is a Traveler class starship with an antimatter powered FTL engine. Its angular, aerodynamic design is rated for both deep space and atmospheric travel. It's seen better days." Understand "Turing" and "starship" and "spaceship" and "ship" as the wreckage.

ABEL is a robot in Crash Site. "The maintenance robot ABEL is performing some emergency repairs on the exterior of the ship." The description of ABEL is "Able Bodied Electronic Laborer. A tracked humanoid style machine with an LCD monitor for a face and different tools for fingers. It moves about on treads."

Every turn:

if ABEL is shadowing the player:

now the initial appearance of ABEL is "ABEL is here."

After going to the Crash Site for the first time:

say "The airlock hisses open and you're greeted with a view of the exotic landscape. A sickly yellow sky with the massive gas giant Eurymedon hanging on the horizon. Strange, fungaloid foliage and a semi-porous landscape. Your feet slightly sink into the ground as you step off your ship onto the moon's surface.[paragraph break]";

if Celina is neutral and the player has the commlink, say "Through your commlink, Celina states, 'I've analyzed the trajectory of the [italic type]Turing[roman type]'s debris fields and found that the most likely landing locations for the personality modules are to the north, southeast, and west.' [paragraph break]";

Continue the action.

[After the player is in Crash Site for two turns:

say "ABLE finishes welding the gaping hole in the side of the ship, moving on to fixing another breach."]
