You chose: Use the last of my strength to secure important tools nearby.

With fading consciousness, you force your trembling hand toward the tool rack mounted on the cabin wall. Your fingers close around the cold metal of the quantum stabilizer - a vital device for temporal navigation. As you pull it toward your body, the movement sends fresh waves of pain through your injured shoulder. The stabilizer's display shows faint green pulses indicating it's still functional despite the crash.

Next you grab the emergency medical injector, its red casing cracked but contents intact. You fumble to strap both devices to your utility belt before your strength gives out completely. The leather strap dangles precariously near your waist as your vision tunnels. Through the haze, you spot the temporal anomaly detector sliding across the tilted floor toward the broken dome.

With one final lunge, you catch the detector just as the machine shudders violently. The movement sends you sprawling against the control panel, your forehead scraping against shattered glass. Blood trickles into your eyes as you weakly secure the detector alongside the other tools. The temporal anchor's countdown continues its relentless march: 00:01:47...00:01:46...

As darkness finally claims you, you feel the remaining straps straining against your weight. The last coherent thought you have is that when you wake, these tools might mean the difference between finding your way home... or being lost in time forever.

What will you do next?
