Stories / Couple crash lands on a RimWorld
September 12, 2016, 05:07:06 AM
Part 1, as this game is ongoing:

DDblue0 and Kuniko crashland on a Rimworld and form a crude colony to survive.

They let anyone join their new colony, and their reputation for accepting stragglers becomes widespread among the people of the Rimworld.

The first person to join their colony is Staso.
He is made the town sheriff and lead hunter because of his strict-but-fair attitude and skill with a firearm. He still brings DDblue0 along on hunting trips, and is kind enough to give him pointers when he can.

One day, a spaceship crash lands a few miles away.

In an odd twist of fate, the lone survivor of the crash turns out to be Staso's mother, Barbara, who is badly injured.

Staso carries her back to the colony where Kuniko rushes to treat her wounds.
She eventually pulls through and decides to stay with her son at the colony.
Once it became known that she was every bit the talented shooter her son was, she was immediately made co-sheriff and hunter.

Barbara was happy to be a member of the colony, but still worried about her daughter (Staso's half-sister) Betty, who was still missing after the crash.

The trauma of crash landing paired with the worry she felt for her daughter made it very difficult for Barbara to sleep at night. As a result, she would often stay awake until sunrise while the other colonists slept.

Eventually, she started volunteering for the night watch every night.

On quiet nights she was known to pick up colony research, though she didn't have the natural talent for it some of the others did.

Eventually, she even took up whittling and later, sculpting to pass the time.

A few more days go by when there is another crash landing.
This time it's an escape pod.

Colonists are dispatched to search for survivors, and they find a young girl.
She is brought to the hospital and treated immediately, but Barbara is both relieved and horrified to find that the lone survivor is indeed her daughter Betty.
