Your mission is to collect as much data from the planet Rinone as possible for scientists back on Earth to analyze. If, by some tiny chance, you uncover evidence of intelligent life, your protocols will switch over to First Contact mode. In the meantime, you may explore as methodically or as aggressively as you deem necessary.] [Right now, you can search the Scrub Valley for specimens, or head for the tallest hilltop to scope your surroundings.] [[Explore the Scrub Valley|Scrub Valley]] [[Head for the Hilltop|Scrub Hilltop]] [[Back to the ship|Ship Interior]]
