Data indicates that swimming was your favorite activity. Be sure to vary your routine for uniform muscle development." |+ +#### Habitat Compartments+ +| Construct | Dialogue |+| :--- | :--- |+| Alien Containment | "Aquariums provide an ideal opportunity to study alien fauna up close. Select carefully which lifeforms you bring onboard - they may also be studying you." |+| Bench | "Warning: endorphin levels low. Consider taking a seat and meditating. It may help to remember that problems exist only where you choose to see them." |+| Bioreactor | "A reliable power source is a critical step toward self-sufficiency. Consider keeping a photo-journal of your achievements to motivate you in times of despair." |+| Exterior Growbed | "Farming alien plants is a proven survival strategy. Craig McGill survived 47 months on a healthy, raw salad of live tree-roaches and stankroot." |+| Moonpool | "After weeks without human contact, it is normal to experience psychological discomfort.

Prawn operators receive weeks of training to counteract this phenomenon. You will have to make do with self-discipline." |+| Seaglide | "The Seaglide will increase your effective exploration range. For your safety please pack food and water for long journeys, and stay within 5km of the nearest lifepod or habitat." |+| Seamoth | "The Seamoth is a fast, safe mode of transport, but remember that swimming is good for your glutes and endorphin levels." |+| Neptune Escape Rocket (Completing) | "Neptune 1 rocket online." |+ +### Self Scans+ +| Trigger | Dialogue |+| :--- | :--- |+| First scan (no other scan requirements triggered) | "Performing self-scan. Vital signs normal. Detecting trace amounts of foreign bacteria. Continuing to monitor." |+| Second scan (after going to the Aurora or entering the Mountains) | "Performing self-scan. Detecting statistically significant bacteria levels. No adverse effects detected. Be vigilant for symptoms." |+| Third scan (attempt to disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform or entering the Lost River) | "Performing self-scan.
