Build a tree rocket via the magic of ABS...?
Use the OTC to power a primitive rock casing fission reactor?
Magic?
Put a guy in the pod and then try and jump start it with a CAMPFIRE?
Invasion of Dungans?
Reverse engineer said pod (again, using rocks and trees?)
Use the OTC to literally *chainsaw* a hole in the universe and use it as a portal?
Build something to amplify the OTC's mind control powers and attract a nearby space-faring force?
Mind control enough minifigs to stand on top of each other until the leader reaches space?
Visit their local Mystik and get somer advice?
Modify their cows with the teck from the pod into laser shooting, rocket powered SPACE COWS?
Mutagenic effects of the pod + the OTC mutate the inhabitants?

:|
Need I continue?

Or they could do something dopey like just breed and invent rockets after 5000 years like slow people....

It's like you built a time machine and stole my idea for my summer brikwars campaign.

In any case, start having lots of sex. Only the finest warriors may breed. Also, try to find more tribes to unify under the king and make them have lots of sex.

The obvious first step is for them to build an altar from the remains of the pod (surmounted by the helmet of the deceased Spaceman), and begin to offer sacrifices to the OTC (mounted on the altar). The goal would be for the OTC to accept these sacrifices and give the Great Grand High Potentate (chief priest of the new religion founded around the OTC) visions that will guide their people to greatness.

I'd suggest that one of the early visions might inspire them to build some dwellings. Ideally they'd be from a low-tek red brick and would have floor patterns based on the OTC design.

Edit - I forgot to add, that if you are ever having sacrifices going on in a brik religion, they must escalate into human sacrifice eventually. This is more true with the Potentatoes (or whatever you want to call their new cult) than most, since their object of worship is the very essence of manslaughter and dismemberment.

@Nitewatchman: LOL, I'll probably just simplify the list into "reverse-engineer the pod with trees and rocks and try to do something with it". It won't take 5000 years though, it won't be long until they reach medevil status, then WWII, then modern day, then finally get into space, then turn into a small interstellar empire, then finally evolve into an ASE tek level 6 empire (OK so that might take a while). The OTC is supposed to speed things up.

Use the OTC to mine a system of tunnels. Strike and capture other tribes, and unite them by all horrifying caveman methods you can think of.

Or try to tell other tribes that the OTC is a sign from the gods that the chief is destined to rule all of the tribes, thereby uniting them.

Like any savages, some of the Unguu should consider the OTC as a magick artefact and worship it religiously, while the others would reject it, eventually escalating this spiritual conflict into a nationwide civil war that would tear their civilization apart.

Have the tribe try to further advance its metalworking skills and use the advances to create more weapons and armor. Apply the metallurgy skills to turn the wooden cannon into a metal one. Train some cavalry. Also look for more tribes to unite.

The cavalry should be giant lizards. Try to domesticate wolves into obedient yet savage guard dogs.

Have them build a statue using the skeleton and igniting it's skull, to make it a tribute to the flaming-headed man in his visions.
