It's September 19, 1965. You are an astronaut named Sheldon "Buzzcut" Quark, and your ship has crashed onto an alien planet. Your oxygen is running low, food is low, and communication's have been cut off. What will you do?

You look out of your ship's biggest window to see your surroundings. This planet seems to have a solid color that you can see, which is a drab yellow. Th ruins around you looking like there from ancient Greece, with statues of god's and all. The weirdest part about the statues in that they all have horns sculpted onto them. Not just devil horns or bull horns, but horns with weird shapes and patterns, like one pair on naked statue that were shaped like arrows pointing up.
It would probably be for the better if you explored this planet a bit. Why? Well, for two reasons:
1) Waiting for communication to kick will take forever, so this could pad out boredom and go back to your childhood dream of hunting aliens.
2)If you find information of a hospitable planet and report back, you could be the greatest hero of Earth.
Enough dilly-dally, lets pack up!
Running to your personal compartment, you load up your satchel with a loaded pistol, a hunting knife, some dried corn, water, and granola bars. All completed with scratchy, military blanket.
Now that your all set, you make a brisk jog to the shuttle door. It seems to be broken, as it's air-tight seal has been broken. You bust down the door with your foot like a regular John Wayne, and step out onto the urine colored terrain. Where to go now?

Of course! Why else would you bring such weaponry to an alien planet? Like a swift cougar,you jump behind a broken pillar to hide from any potential targets. Then you jump to another. And another. And another. And another. You then decide that maybe you should check your surroundings to actually find a target. Scoping around the area, you see some sort of life.
It's body is totally white, even its nails. The creature appears to have slimy skin and a salamander-like body. The only difference it had from Earth salamanders was that is was about eight feet in length and had sharp claws. It seemed to be digging up strange plants that looked like a mix of a radish and a carrot.
While aiming your pistol dead center to it's head, you think up a one-liner for the occasion. With your gun locked on the aliens skull, you quitly say the one-liner to yourself while slowly tugging the trigger.
"Next time, don't dig your own gr-"
Before you can finish, a blunt object hits you in the back of the head, veering your shot so it nicks the creature's shoulder. Everything then goes to black....
What next?

Before you can check the statue for inscriptions, you have to be someone, lets be...
Your name is Viarna Desket, and you have just knocked out an intruder. It seems to look like a troll, but the skin has a pastey look and soft feel. It also seems to have no horns. It is also pretty weak, passing out from a simple jab to the skull. Good thing you got here in time, or it might've killed your luslus, or as you call him, "Father".
Today was the day you two went out to scrounge around the ruins for vegetation and (hopefully) prey.
Now that "Father" is safe and has enough goods for now to the next scavenge, You both turn to leave when you notice something out of place.
At the bottom of a statue of a female troll wearing only a skirt, you see a badly scribbled on message, as if someone was in a hurry to write in down. After some analyse, you make out what it says:
"Sheldon, if your alive, meet me on top of the tallest pillar. I found a signal, and the guys back Home don't have good things to say to you."
How the hell is Sheldon? The guy you just knocked out?
Speaking of the guy, you hear some groans coming from it. You decide to talk to him. What will you say?

Sounds good.
You turn around to poke the creature, but when you fully turn around 180 degrees, you find the creature is gone from it's spot and seems to be trying run away. Oh. Hell. No.
You are now Sheldon, running away from the creature. You will NOT go back and try to investigate, that creature is too strong and deadly. Even now, you can hear it running after you with fury.
Where to hide!?!

Keep running? If you say so.
It seems like an hour of chasing when it only has been a few minutes. Your lungs burn. Slowing down, you look behind yourself to see if the creature is still hunting you. It's gone.
After breathing a sigh of relief, you look at your surroundings. It is a another part of the ruins, but it leads to a cave-like hole in the ground. Interesting.
After curiosity takes over, you slowly climb down, white rock after white rock. You land on top of a crumbling balcony connected to a Roman-like house.
Looking over the landscape, you hear something. Footsteps. Heavy ones, too. Almost... metallic.
OH MY GOD, IT'S AN EVIL SPACE-BO-
Calm down, we can handle this.
Looking for a weapon, you find a sharp piece of glass and equip it.
But you knees shake, your heart aches.
Should you go in, or run away?
