New colony, colonists just landed, looking around on the map for a good site.
I see this nearby:

Unrelated, but funny, story, from an Alpha 6 colony:
(I don't remember all the details, this might not be completely accurate.)
Two groups visited my colony at the same time. Two women from an outlander town, with pistols, and four people from a friendly tribe, with normal tribal weapons (shortbow, handful of stones, pila; this is before melee weapons). Naturally, the two were enemies of each other. In fact,
all the factions were enemies of
all the other factions, but that's not important.
Eventually, of course, they start fighting (right inside the colony's entrance). I laugh at them, draft nearby colonists to keep out of the way, and watch. The two from the town take cover behind cave walls. Three of the tribals must not have had good cover, they were soon dead, but the guy with a pila had stayed behind a stone wall at the entrance. Two pistols obviously have an advantage over one pila, given enough time, but the remaining three are in a stalemate for quite a while, all three of them are shooting/throwing around corners and have a low chance to hit their enemy because of the good cover.
Suddenly... a sound effect, and at the top of the screen, "
Visitors from Some Outlander Town are leaving."
The two of them
leave their cover, to leave, I assume. One of them immediately gets hit by a pila and her arm gets chopped off.
I don't remember the rest, except for this:
I don't think they actually left after that, I think they changed their minds and kept fighting.
The one missing an arm died from insta-blood-loss when her
other arm was destroyed.
There was only one survivor from the battle. I don't remember for sure if it was "Pila Guy" or "Still-Has-Her-Arms." The first would make for a better story, but I think it was the second.
