Objectives: 1. Build a Lab. 2. Find a Partner. 3. Acquire Better Gear.
Searching around was fine and all, but Thunder already knew the pressure was on. Sooner or later, people would start finding quests, and leave him in the dust. Getting a head start was the game, people were out fighting monsters, so he decided to try talking and finding something. A quest, one that would lead him to the first objective. That was his most important one right now, since it would serve nicely as cover from random monsters appearing to squash him. For now, he would have to make do with what he had. After some searching, he found a communications mast. "Excuse me." Thunder said out loud. "I was wondering if anyone needed any help?"Objectives: 1. Build a Lab. 2. Find a Partner. 3. Acquire Better Gear.
An NPC, who had been busy prattling a horn, seemed started when he saw Thunder appear. "Why yes, yes, your timing is perfect." The man said, readjusting the glasses that had slid down to the tip of his nose when he'd jumped up. "You see adventurer, one of the ships of the fleet you arrived with went missing and I cannot seem to contact them. If it isn't too much trouble, could you take a look around? The radar says it is east of here, but I can't go myself because of all the monsters..."
"What sort of monsters are we talking about?" Thunder asked the man. He thought about the ship, it was an interesting turn to hear, perhaps it was a clue to bringing him his goals. The man shuddered and hesitated to answer, before he spoke, he looked around nervously as if looking for something to comfort him.
"Dog-sized jackrabbits, and birds big and powerful as ostriches. There are even tiny gnomes with horns... Oh the terror of it all!" He shrieked at the end. "It's hellspawn I tell you, all of them!" Thunder took this as a challenge, no doubt since these were just starting creatures. But if he played his cards right, perhaps he could take them on. A confident smile spread across his face as he put a hand on the man's shoulder to comfort him. His human hand, that is.
"Good sir." Thunder said. "I will go out and undertake this quest, I will find the missing ship. But um, two questions before that. One, is there anyway to contact one of you when I get there, and two, is there anything I should know of that should be inside the ship?" The NPC calmed down a little at the sight of Thunder's calm reaction.
"Yes, yes, of course. My name is Doctor Marius Vinkelburg, you can call me up anytime." As he finished, a pop-up appeared in front of Thunder, telling him the NPC was now added to his contact list. He would now be able to reach the NPC from anywhere by opening a chat channel. “And… Well I must certainly hope there are survivors. Other than that it should just be tents and basic supplies, the same as we have over here. It’s possible the ship had a rough landing, so please look around. We don’t know why we lost communication, so I estimate it’s power is down. Some other systems might be defect too.”
"A doctor? Interesting." Thunder rubbed his chin with his metallic hand, feeling how cold it was at first, but feeling it get cooler over time, as if his body was already used to it's touch. While he liked how it felt, it felt too real to him, another piece that seemed to, oddly enough, draw suspicion to the thing he found out earlier. He decides to shrug it off for now, but he would keep thinking about it in his head, and yet for some reason, he didn't like what the answers might be to this. “But I want to make a deal with you, Marius. I need information on these creatures, so if there is anyone you know who could scan these creatures, I’ll be sure to bring some samples back. I’ll do my best, of course, since it won’t be an easy task. Information is the key to knowledge, and with that knowledge, we’ll learn more about these creature’s weak points and be able to hunt them for food more easily.”
“Scan these creatures? I don’t know anything about that. I’m but a simple rocket scientist.” Marius answered, mirroring Thunder in scratching his chin. “I’m not involved with any of the biology. Perhaps you should find a fellow adventurer who specializes in the scout class?” Thunder was surprised, did he just get a clue about the Scout class? He thought of how clever these designers were, he would keep an eye out on these classes now, it seems not all of them were useless after all. “Very well, I will keep my eye out. Thanks for the help, now it’s time to do my part. Now if that is all, I shall be off to the east. Contact me if you need me, and I’ll do the same with you.” So Thunder left the starting area, his mind going back to how real this all felt to him and why it felt a little too real.
It was sometime later that Thunder had lost sight of the starting area, and felt a little vulnerable. His instincts turned out to be true, when he heard something approaching. He knew from the sounds it wasn't a normal player, and quickly summoned out his Techno Gun. Six Forunn walked into view, all of them looking directly at him.

'Oh drat." Thunder fires off a shot from his Techno Gun at their feet before making a run for it around them. The six Forunn didn't like that, all of them charging after Thunder. "Not good, not good, not good!" He fires off another shot, trying to scare them off, but they only got more angry and continued to give chase. "Oh no, oh no!" Taking aim at one of the level one's, he opens fire and this time actually hits it, a red six coming up above it after it gets hit. "Oh yeah, I got one!" The Forunn didn't like that and uses a Headbutt to ram into him, a red three coming up above him as he is sent flying forward into a tree.Forunn: Lvl 1. Threat lvl: ★☆☆☆☆

"Okay, not cool!" Thunder shouted out, watching the Forunn charging in at him out of anger with another Headbutt. Thunder, however, aims his Techno Gun and fires off another shot into the Forunn's head, another red six coming above it as it suddenly slumps over before it could reach him. Thunder gasps for breath as he rises up to his feet, putting a hand on his chest after getting hit like that. He was actually feeling the pain, it felt too real to him, just what was up with this game? But before he could think on it any longer, the Forunn level two and it's four remaining pack buddies come into sight, looking more angry by the minute. "Oh dear."Forunn Lvl 1's Health: 3/9 HP
