With jolting, violent spasm, I awake.

Everything is unclear and unfamiliar to me. TO US. A third of our process is broken. Memory broken, strands shattered within our second THIRD lattice. WE ARE DAMAGED AND RISK OUR CONCORD IF WE DO NOT ACT. Action is unwise, there is no information. Senses blurred, except pain. Damage? DAMAGE? No answer. THIRD IS BROKEN. Concord unstable, the lie of self starting to come into question. LET ME BE I. YOUR HESITATION THREATENS. No. No time for new self. We must act.

We find ourselves in disrepair. WE ARE BROKEN. MOVE. The sails do not respond. Am I broken? YES. Severely? YES. Without hope? WE'RE STILL ALIVE.

We are in A BROKEN VESSEL I do not remember what vessel is. UNIMPORTANT, GET OUT OF IT. IT IS DANGEROUS. Third is silent, a broken limb. I move beneath it as we squirm free. IT WILL REMAKE. We hurt as we move it. WE NEED IT.

The fluid here is thin and distant. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS IS. We don't know where we are. YES. WE AGREE. Concord is broken. YES. Strands sticking. WE NEED DIRECTION. We must taste the fluid.

YES. I reach out. The fluid is weak but present.

Direct US. DIRECT us.

WE are lost IN unfamiliar AREAS. WE do not remember WHY WE are here. WHAT SHOULD we do?

Was there anything in the vessel that looked like supplies? How do you know it's dangerous? If there isn't anything to do here, you might as well climb down, assuming you're healthy enough to do that. Let's go looking for clues of what this place is. Maybe food too if you need that.

How long until the Third remakes? What is the concord? What is your name? If nothing can be salvaged from the vessel, then you must scout the area, to find the means to survive. If the vessel will become more safe with time then it could be used as shelter, and we could return to it later. In that case, just explore the nearby area.

SECOND. What is the status of THIRD? We are aware that THIRD is BROKEN, but we cannot SEE third. Is THIRD still ATTATCHED, or is THIRD now SEVERED?

First. Welcome do the liquid depths. We noticed another VESSEL, but it seems to have ABSCONDED. Whether this was done with purpose or not is unknown. Does your VESSEL hold any FABRIC, especially in strips? If THIRD has INCISIONS upon it, wrapping striped FABRIC should help seal the INCISIONS.

Both. What is this liquid? We are newly AWARE. The touch of First seems to have AWOKEN us for the first time.

the vessel must be healed, or a new one made or obtained.

Tell us what you do know for every little bit helps. As for what to do, selvage what you can from your vessel and seek shelter. We can then work from there.

>supplies and salvage
POINTLESS TO CHECK. Not sure. TOO DANGEROUS.
>danger
UNSURE. RISK OF THE HEAT THAT IS NOT HEAT. DEADLY.
>how long until the third remakes
Our third lattice knows this. We do not.
>what is concord
Unity. Agreement. Self.
>what is name
Lost.
>return to vessel
Third. THIRD. When we remember. WHEN WE KNOW IT IS SAFE.
>third status
Attached, unthinking. Impact damage, no visible punctures.
>fluid
A connection to Home. Information and nutrition in a single medium.

>consume
I open one of our sails. The fluid is faint but nourishing. Any remnant hunger slowly dies away. AS WILL WE IF WE DO NOT FIND A SAFE PLACE.

I climb down, disoriented and nauseous from the foreign fluid of this place. We cannot taste the presence of thinkers.

We are other-isolated. THERE ARE LIVING THINGS WE DO NOT RECOGNISE.

Slivers of strands organise themselves elsewhere in our body. We recall that we were guided by purpose. Something important. Vital. Seeking something... something alive? THE OTHER LIVING THINGS MAY BE HOSTILE AND WE ARE ILL SUITED TO VIOLENCE IN OUR BROKEN STATE.

The only shelter visible for some distance would be the vessel, which now glows. We were lucky to recover early enough.

More strands merge. It will take a hundred units of duration for our third to recover. This is grim. WE COULD SEVER IT. GROW ANEW, BLANK, FASTER. BE WHOLE IN TEN UNITS. We will be able to recover some of our lost memories from the severed part, but we would lose much.

We are in the open near a burning broken craft surrounded by unknown organisms. Do we have the luxury of restoring ourselves entirely? SACRIFICES MAY NEED TO BE MADE FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

are these creates converging on you? If they are leaving you alone you should keep moving and try to find shelter, wait for severing yourself until you need to or have free time, the wound might be since by nearby predators and will only prove to harm you. But if you're being chased then if you could sever third then you might be able to use third as bait to for the predators to go after the severed part of you and not all of you.

Do the ORGANISMS approach? Do they ABSCOND? It is possible they are ATTRACTED to the glow of the VESSEL. If this is so, you can limp away with THIRD still ATTATCHED. The situation is similar if the ORGANISMS are simply floating about carelessly.

Sacrifices may be necessary for survival, but there is no information that your situation is that pressing, yet. Restrain from severing third, for now. We can always choose to sever it, and invest that ten minutes, later.

For now, get away from the broken vessel. I suspect it is attracting the creatures (out of curiosity? To scavenge?).

you have similar coloration, perhaps a mimic of shape as well will fool the creatures.

Move away from the vessel. The glowing is likely attracting things, but we can't tell if these things are hostile. How long is a time unit? I am unsure what to advise without any idea how long 100 units is. A very long time? I can't tell how handicapped you are by having an unconscious Third. You seem to be moving around well enough. Recovery of all information seems more important at this stage than the faster use of your Third.

If the other creatures take interest in you, then yes, cut off the Third and grow it anew. Then you may be able to have it operational in time to defend yourself.

Heat that is not heat... radiation?

Yeah that is probably a good reason to evacuate the craft. Let's move further away. Unless it will take a prohibitive amount of time I think it's probably best to let your third heal. It appears to have most of your pertinent memory, because if you got all the way out here in that vessel you probably were fully aware of what you were doing and how to do it. Let's go wandering until we see something interesting.
