You are in the pod bay, at the computer.
You type RUN POD_HELPER.EXE
A new window comes up, with a header that says POD MANAGEMENT.
There are three subpanels, and the arrow keys move between them. The first two simply say POD EMPTY, while the third shows ERROR: EJECT FAULT

Also, you should learn how to archive threads at suptg.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=proxyquest

Make sure you have tags on it the first time you archive it, if you do. Tags are important, as is putting a comma followed by a space between them.

After a surprisingly long struggle to get the door open (apparently getting a firm footing in zero-g is a pain, who knew?) you get the hatch open. Inside is some sort of capsule with a hatch and a small window.

You remove the body from the capsule and then from the suit. In that order. The body is remarkably well preserved. It doesn't even smell. Even so, you can tell it has been a while since... Tom died. He's wearing a generic jumpsuit with brass rank insignia pinned to his shoulders.

Looks like it contains a beacon, a large chair in which to sit, and a screen with a keypad on the chair. The screen is displaying a terminal prompt that mirrors the one on the wall. It looks like this was designed more like an escape pod than anything more useful in daily life. Maneuverability is probably limited.

Does it offer any options that one doesn't?

It's a literal mirror of the other screen. They now both display this error message. It seems running a command podhelper doesn't recognize crashes the program.

Getting out of the pod to check you bonk the back of your head on the lip of the capsule. You rub the raised lump on the back of your head and wince. Your neck hurts a little too.

It did nothing you can see.
Pod 1 is just a big empty tube with a slot that looks like an umbilical cable interface.

These pods are most likely ejected with cold gas, you're somewhat familiar with the system from when you served on a missile cruiser.
>>
>>44743918
Wait, Pod 1? Not Pod 3?

Try to DISARM and then ARM Pod 3 to see what changes there.

[@#$! left, right what's the difference (facepalm)]

The program warns you that the hatch is open.
It does seem to be a cold gas ejection system. Although only three of the ports opened. The fourth remains closed. There's an access panel next to it you could open with a magnetic driver.

You wait for the cycle to loop. It takes about 10 seconds to switch through each camera. Medical shows only static, the camera must be damaged. You don't see the monster on the cycle.

Haha.

Oh, so naive and new.

No, there's hostility and trolling that's commonplace. You have fallen victim to a spiteful misarchivist.

It's probably not this guy >>44742947

Who was probably inspired by the, 'learn2archive' post earlier...

>>44745144
It can't be fixed. Not by you anyway.

It can only be prevented by archiving first.

Like, this guy appears to have struck and archived it 29 minutes ago if the server timestamp is accurate.

So you have to beat him next time.

>>44745166
I see. Looks like a fun challenge for more energetic threads.

>>44745187
The biggest guys go for archiving as soon as they start, yeah.

This guy is subtler than what the old misarchivists did. He actually makes it look like a quest that actually exists, instead of just putting a bunch of insults in all fields.

He did similar trolling of some Naruto fanfic quest.
