December, and Beyond
Survival is a great motivator of innovation. In your first few days in the H'ssurru'ssurri homeworld, you discover a brown moss and a sort of sludgy fungus that may be edible. You nibble tentatively at first, wary of poisoning yourself in so hostile a terrain. But, though these discoveries taste foul, your stomach does not rebel against them. You manage to half fill your belly, at least.
Water is a larger problem. Though groundwater is easy enough to find, it is dirty, and provokes cramps and diarrhea the first few times you're forced to drink it. Dehydration becomes a real danger, and you spend your first two or three weeks under this strange green sky in a woozy fog.
At last, the cramps stop, and you're able to drink the water without any serious problems.
You are adapting to life in this new world.
