<h1>Welcome to the planet Tahoot Beta!</h1>
You are finally here on the fifth planet in the Alpha Centauri system, ready to get down to business.
Collect three <b> Star Fragments</b> before you run out of oxygen. You have oxygen for 5 hours. Most things take you 15 minutes to do, so that's 20 movements in total. You have $star_frag Star Fragment(s). You have no food.
You stand next to your ship.
[[Head outside?]]
[[Grab some food and head outside?]]
Written during HEO Game Jam Prep 2h Jam, January 2017<<set $oxygen to 19>>
As you exit the ship you notice the blood red sky first.
The landscape in front of you is truly alien; //far// to the west, a set of sharp crystalline mountains; //close// to the south of your ship a strange smoking wreck of an alien ship; to the east a perfectly round lake; to the north a dense forest of yellow and purple trees.
You have $star_frag Star Fragment(s).
You have oxygen for 4 hours and 45 minutes, or 19 more movements.

You decided to grab some food. You now have one slurpable soup-in-a-bag! It may come in handy later.

It's a short and easy walk to the Alien Ship. It is strange in design, made of something that almost feels... alive? You wonder why it crashed in the first place...

It's an enormous mountain, crystal clear. You see yourself reflected a million and another million times. It is breathtaking, as is the height of this thing!
And there, at the very top, //something// sparkles in a familiar way...
You have some climbing gear. It will take a lot of time to climb, but you could.
You could also head northwards, to the forest. The terrain is better.
You could also head southwards, to the shipwreck. The terrain is mountaineous.

The ship feels very strange to the touch and oozes of some alien biological growth.
You open the door - there are still $oxycompart small extra oxygen compartments!
You can only take one at the time. It gives enough oxygen for 2 hours 30 minutes - 6 movements!

The lake in front of you is incredibly round. In fact - it is a perfect circle - or very close to it. But the lake isn't filled with water. You don't know how cool the planet is, thanks to the magic of space suits, but you decide not to toch the surface.
