Dropped

Where did this escape from, if this is an escape pod?

Calm down. If anything, why are you in a escape pod in the first place? Something must have gone wrong in a perilous event. Trying to recall, all you can think of was "LandCaster-IV". Probably some kind of ship, you reckon. Either way...

Cautiously hit the remaining three buttons.

You still need to get out. A path laid out before you is unknown, and unseen. Hitting the rest of the buttons results in the pod saying: "All explosive ejection bolts armed. Ejecting hatch. Releasing harness." And it does exactly that, shooting the hatch into a rock with a big CLUNK before bouncing off down into what seems to be a big cliff. The harness that kept you in falls off.

All of a sudden, a black bird approaches you. He wears a big hat, hiding his eyes and showing only his beak. "This must be the last one," he says. "Help him up. Check him. Best to do that after a drop if you land near others. I'm surprised we didn't suffer a major crash." A distant voice says. From what you can hear, he seems pretty small but sensible. The bird waves in front of you. "Are you okay?"
