[Walkabout] Evening of the first day
Okay, kids. Don't know how many of you know shit about livin' where there's no roads or pre-packaged dinners, but this is what I've been doin' half my life. So listen up.
First thing we need is water. Found that. It's south-east from where we landed, looks like this.
[And he gives them a livestream of the brook he's found trickling out to the ocean proper. It's not like your normal livestream, in that Riddick's vision is tinged bright violet, seems to focus mostly on heat and movement, and if you can parse through both of those things, you can tell it is completely unhampered by the darkness.]
Nobody come down here yet, though. There's predators on this island, or there were last time I was here, and most of 'em are nocturnal. So stay put and stay together until dawn, much as you can. Might even be smart if we did our sleeping in liminal space, until we find some sign there's still people here.
Second thing we need is food. There's animals here we can hunt, and probably some edible fruit and shit, but we've got liminal space, too. Anybody who can make food we can actually eat, do that. I'm gonna pop into liminal space to give it a shot myself, here, in a minute.
There used to be people on this island. Used to be, it was kept protected by a force field thing. I think that's probably still there, so don't go swimmin' out too far, or you'll hit it. Nasty shit happens when you do that. Ain't seen any sign of the people yet, but that don't mean they ain't here somewhere. Think that should probably be thing number three. Findin' out where the people went to, if they're still here somewhere. Might be a good idea to start searching this place in the morning.

I noticed the clouds appeared to be behaving strangely as we arrived, like they were passing through something. It's reasonable to assume from this that the forcefield is indeed still in place. What precisely happens when someone touches it? ['Nasty shit' is so vague.]

Gives you a good zap, knocks you out. Pretty sure it's some kind of electromagnetic thing. Not great since to get to it you gotta swim or fly, and that basically means it drowns you or you get eaten by sharks. So. Nasty shit.

[And hopefully the city itself will jog his memory more. He'd spent a lot of this Jaunt in post-dungeon pissiness, punctuated with alcohol, so there might be a hole or two....]

[He knows about Belljar from Armin's notebook, but any additional accounts from those present are things he is very interested in. Especially since he'd decided to look more deeply at earlier Phase One Jaunts recently.]

[As much as it pains him to say it, being generally private. But there's not a lot of them here, and there's potentially a lot at stake.]
