Soon afterwards, you find the entrance to the mine in question as the road curves inside the mountain through a small, jagged gorge. For better or worse, this place too, seems abandoned, though thankfully not looted as was the case at the Ruined Homestead. A closed door hangs askew in the framework of timbers supporting the main passageway. Exploration on the mind, you briefly worry about bad air, a condition in abandoned mines that occurs when oxygen-displacing gasses stagnate and slowly suffocate the unwary, but a slight breeze carrying through the gaps in the door assuage your concerns for now.
With a faintly-palpable relief, Allie unburdens herself of your goods, supplies, and her travel case and places them delicately on the ground near the side of the road. She then sits down in a meditative pose, crosses her legs, and closes her eyes, a well-known series of movements indicating that she is shutting down due to low charge. You roll out her panel and plug her in, leaving her to her rest.
You take a break before investigating further. Your own body's weariness after the journey up the mountain makes itself known as your activity pauses and thoughts are allowed to turn inward, you polish off the remaining water in your canteen between breaths before refilling it from the large, white water canister in the supply pile.
With a sigh, you look upward to the sky. Just at that moment, something bright catches your eye. You squint. An escape pod, like the one you came down on. A trail of vapor and smoke follows it as it arcs across the sky. You quickly sprint out of the gorge in order to keep sight. It flies North in a lazy ballistic trajectory, its' retrograde thrusters firing with a crack audible even at your current distance. You lose sight of it just before it touches the ground, but from your high vantage point, you're confident you can track down the pod's exact landing site.
It landed in the same general area you just came from, the area where the Unknown Raiders would be looking for you if they returned, and you're certain that they saw that pod land as well.
Do you drop everything to go to your fellow colonist's rescue?
