Ep 2. Evasion Is Impossible
- October 23, 2003
In the second episode of Uninhabited Planet Survive, titled "Evasion Is Impossible," our group of young survivors continues to navigate the harsh terrain of Planet Vilavurs, where they have crash-landed after their spaceship was damaged. The episode opens with our protagonists, Kanata, Luna, and Shingo, walking through a dry and dusty desert, searching for any signs of life or civilization. They are accompanied by a strange and furry little creature, whom they have affectionately named "Giemie."
As they trek through the desert, the group comes across a large rock formation that they believe may provide shelter from the unforgiving sun. However, as they approach the rocks, they realize that they are not alone - a group of giant, spider-like creatures with razor-sharp claws and teeth are waiting for them. Kanata and Shingo try to come up with a plan to fight off the monsters, but they quickly realize that they are no match for the beasts. They are forced to flee, running as fast as they can with the spiders hot on their heels.
The group manages to outrun the spiders, but they are now lost in the desert with no shelter or supplies. They decide to try and find their way back to the crashed spaceship, hoping that they may be able to salvage some equipment or resources to help them survive. However, they soon encounter another obstacle - a raging river that they must cross if they want to continue on their journey.
At first, they try to wade across the river, but the current is too strong and they are swept away, barely managing to cling onto a log to keep from drowning. They decide to follow the river instead, hoping that it may lead them to a safer crossing point. But as they travel downstream, they come across an unexpected surprise - a large, imposing fortress, looming high on a cliff overlooking the river.
Kanata and the others are initially hesitant to approach the fortress, fearing that it may be inhabited by hostile creatures. However, as they draw closer, they notice that the fortress appears to be deserted. Eager to explore, they make their way inside, only to discover that they are not the only ones who have sought refuge there.
Inside the fortress, they meet a young girl named Sharla, who has been living alone in the fortress for many years. Sharla is initially wary of the newcomers, but she soon warms up to them and shares her story. She was part of a group that crash-landed on the planet many years ago, but they were attacked by monsters and she was the only survivor. She has been living in the fortress ever since, trying to stay alive and evade the dangerous creatures that roam the planet.
Together, Sharla and the group concoct a plan to try and gather supplies and resources to improve their chances of survival on the planet. They search the fortress for anything that could be useful, and Sharla teaches them how to make traps and tools to protect themselves from the monsters.
As the episode comes to a close, the group is faced with another challenge - a massive sandstorm that threatens to tear apart the fortress and bury them all alive. They must work together to fortify the fortress and protect themselves from this deadly force of nature, all while trying to stay alive in an unforgiving and merciless environment.
