Warren, the legendary space explorer was on his calm, one-person spaceship when he heard something coming from the control room on his ship. He went to investigate, and what he found shocked him. His navigation system blew and was on fire! There was thick, black smoke coming from the control room. He got his fire suppression emergency kit and did his best to calm the raging fire with his measly fire extinguisher. In the end he saved most of his ship from damage but the entire control room was fried. “Well, crap!” He thought to himself.

As warren thought of ways he could fix it his automated computer assistant gave a warning. “WARNING APPROACHING UNINHABITED PLANET, CRASH LANDING IMMINENT.”
“I guess i should brace for impact” Warren said jokingly.
“CHANCES OF SURVIVAL 25%” said the computer

Warren started to think to himself a little more seriously after hearing that. He went to the safe room that was prepared for crash landing situations and braced for the impact. He heard loud flame-like sounds likely from the heat of his ship entering the atmosphere at an uncontrolled speed. He did his best to be in a position he wouldn’t get hurt from The crash but he only had so much time. He thought of survival and the fact that his computer said “uninhabited” not “uninhabitable” so it might have a breathable atmosphere. That’s a good start. He was suddenly interrupted by his computer.

Warren awoke suddenly on the ground, injured. He looked around, wanting to know where he was. He suddenly understood why the planet was uninhabited.

Warren used to be a seismologist which is what got him travelling to other planets so freely. he figured that this planet was full of hot spots and hyperactive convection currents in the planet itself. He rested for while pondering whether or not he should take off his helmet to test the atmosphere. After a while he decided it was too risky, at least until he’s completely safe.

He hobbled towards his ravaged spaceship to salvage whatever as left. He found two weeks worth of food and water and a working communication system. The only issue was he was injured and had no way to get energy to use the com system.
“Well, I guess its time to salvage what’s left of the ship”
He found a fire extinguisher, 3 AA batteries and a battered tent. The 3 batteries would be enough to send a short SOS message to the closest ship or inhabited planet. He tried to use the old ship antenna to boost the transmission signal.

It worked. He reached a nearby ship that come to pick him up and treat his wounds. He gave his thanks and asked to be brought to the nearest space station, and so he got there, with no ship... Nothing. Well not exactly nothing. He had a card with enough money on it to get everything he needed. First he bought a new ship and food, next he bought a seismometer and the tools to use it, next he fueled his ship, ready to set off back to that intriguing planet. When he arrived at his planet he hastily set up his seismometer and waited.

This is is a seismometer. It measures the strength of earthquakes by using this machine here. It is called a seismometer because it’s like a thermometer for seismologists.
