Sorry. Having a crazy week. I'll get something up this afternoon.
Don't worry about it.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

I shrug to myself and charge into the village, stowing my dentures in a pocket of my suit and sliding out my armblades.
You turn a corner and find several gnomes fighting valiantly but poorly against a squad of pale Vulcanoids* with finely crafted swords that glitter in the torchlight. A stray arrow embeds itself in the front of your Kevlar bodysuit.
* They'd be drow, but without Lolth's curse turning their skin black the lack of sunlight would result in them losing melanin rather than gaining it.
The smaller Nicor bioship detached from the Undine carrier, sliding out of an TRIBBLE in it's surface like some long pointy baby. Pressing his hand against the slightly squishy surface of the main console, Th'gan piloted it towards the quantum singularity. On the other side of the artificial wormhole there was a planet. It was unremarkable, save for traces of minerals which could be "fed" to bioships to increase their weapons, shields, and speed outputs. As soon as the ship left the singularity, the organs that generate and expel the plasma-like substance that the ship used to propel itself failed, their walls rupturing as unknown radiation penetrated their cells. The ship began to tumble to the surface, and Th'gan managed to catalyze the reaction that turned the cockpit walls in to slightly squishy sacks to absorb the energy of the impact, surviving with only a cracked exoskeleton and some lacerations to his head crest. These repaired themselves in about 2 minutes, and his sliced open the wall of the ship and stepped out into his new surroundings.
(Scenario pls.)
Still somewhat astonished at the speed with which your ship was overcome, you find yourself inside a large cavern, with a forest of tree-sized mushrooms towering over your head. Bioluminescent lichens shrivel in the sunlight let in by the hole your ship made when it crashed, several kilometers over your head.

I do a classic unit leaping charge with a gleeful howl, decapitating three space elves with one swing and punching straight through the ribcage of another, then twist to catch a sword in my teeth. I bite through the sword and spit out the pieces.
Then I smile, pulling my gore-covered hand from the one guy's chest.
"Beorngar, son of Tharngar. And I do not appreciate rothe rustlers."
"That's fine, I cant stand them either. So, we getting out of here or what?".

"Kill! Kill! Unit kill!"
The Vulcanoids falter and the gnomes press the attack, Belwar braining one with his pickaxe. One of the Vulcanoids hits you in the shoulder with a warhammer, hurts even through your suit. (Kevlar's not much good against blunt weapons.)
I grab ahold of my large knife and slice the pseudopod attempting to sever it.
Your knife severs the pseudopod but the metal blade quickly dissolves. The critter begins extruding another one, and he pseudopod looks to be mobile separately from the main body.
I think I'll take the downhill slope. I'd probably sink Gollum's boat anyways.
The tunnel slopes downhill for about a klick, then gradually levels out, then hours later starts to slope uphill again, and then you start to hear sounds of fighting and running feet echoing down the hall.
"That's fine, I cant stand them either. So, we getting out of here or what?".
"Possibly. On further inspection you do not appear to be one of the creatures that have been plundering my herd.
"Before you go, would you like some food? I have some pottage and a bottle of mushroom wine."

"Unit kill!! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
I decapitate the guy who just hit me with a backhanded armblade and literally throw my 300-plus-pound indestructible-boned bulk into the rest, armblades out.
Knowing I can't keep this up much longer I take my rifle and fire a high density beam right at the creature.
Ooc: I'm fairly sure energy weapons can work underwater with ease and it will burn the water through which the beam passes.
Well, you said it was an antiproton rifle. The technobabble that prevents the beam from interacting with ambient matter still functions underwater and the blob attacking you violently explodes. Fortunately the water absorbs most of the heat but the thunderclap still deafens you.
You hear a voice in your head say, "It was your idea to bring it alooooooong... It'd be really funny to drop one down the Borg's shiiiiiirt..." (Just kidding on the second one.)
You and emerge on another section of the underground lake and find a group of smallish, stocky gray-skinned humanoids battling fish-men. The two sides seem evenly matched.

The back rank breaks and runs but another jumps on your back. One of the gnomes throws him off and breaks his head open with a shovel. Another elf stabs you in the thigh.

"Rather. A spot of booze, just the way to end a absolutely faaaantastic day. Need any help with finding the evil cow thief's?".

"I suspect who they are. We have been dealing with a kuo-toa infestation for months."
Beorngar reaches a small campfire in the rough center of the herd and hands you a wineskin, and takes a pot of stew off the fire. The bull-headed man pats the flank of one of his rothe fondly.
With the creature dead I hurry onward trying to get above water again.
Your head breaks the water and you gasp for air. You're in some sort of underground lake.
Shore's thirty meters thataway.

You rip the guy you grabbed in half. "DEMON! BEGONE!" one of the Vulcanoids screams at you, and throws some kind of powder in your face.
I leap on him and bite his windpipe out; fortunately, my physiology is built to be immune to 99% of all toxins, whether inhaled, contact, ingested, or injected, and I can withstand and process most of the rest given sufficient time with few if any temporary or extended ill effects.
Hell, I can withstand a Sheliak-typical atmosphere for extended periods with just a few pills. Powder isn't going to faze a unit, especially not one in full bloodlust mode.

The other Vulcanoids run for the hills, screaming, some dropping their weapons. The gnomes start cheering.
Turns out what the guy threw at you was plain table salt.
You roll up on shore and find a discarded fishing rod and a perfectly serviceable boat. Your ears are still ringing from the concussion of the exploding ... whatever it was.

Ok, so you spend the night by the side of the lake. There's another tunnel out that slopes downhill, or you could take Gollum's fishing boat.
