+# Lost River Laboratory Cache+ ++ +| Feature | Details |+| :--- | :--- |+| **Type** | Precursor Structure |+| **Biome** | Lost River, Ghost Canyon |+| **Coordinates** | -1111, -685, -655 |+| **Music** | Ancient Aliens |+| **Original Inhabitants** | The Pioneers (implied) |+ +The **Laboratory Cache** is a unique Alien Cache found in the Ghost Canyon of the Lost River. It was established by ancient aliens to study the **Ancient Skeleton** and various other specimens within the biome. Unlike other caches, this location requires the **Orange Tablet**, found in the Deep Grand Reef Degasi Base, to unlock its forcefield.+ +## Overview+ +Inside the cache, players can find three containers holding bone samples and three containers with local **Fauna** samples. Various pieces of Precursor lab equipment are scattered throughout the area. At the far end of the laboratory, three **Ion Cubes** are located. Additionally, a **Cuddlefish Egg** can be found on the workbench at the far right of the cave.+ +### Hazards+ +**Crabsquids** may be encountered outside the entrance cave. Players should exercise caution when approaching the cache and keep any vehicles near the ceiling to avoid attacks.+ ++*Main entrance to the cave*+ ++*Overview of the cave containing the Ancient Skeleton*+ ++*Entrance to the Laboratory from the Blood Kelp Trench*+ ++*Entrance to the Laboratory*+ ++*The Forcefield Control for the Lost River Laboratory*+ ++*Overview of the Laboratory interior*+ ++*Tanks containing skeletal samples.*+ ++*The Data Terminal*+ ++*The far end of the Laboratory*+ ++*One of the three Ion Cubes*+ ++*Lab equipment*+ ++*Lab Equipment w/ the Cuddlefish Egg*+ ++*Smaller tanks containing samples of local Fauna, Flora and Coral*+ +## Data Bank Entries+ +### Bone Specimens+ +> The skeleton of a million-year-old, armored carnivore. Projections suggest this lifeform would have been larger than any living creature encountered on the planet.+>+> The oceans of the time would have been very different to support lifeforms of this size, with more open geography and many more individuals in the leviathan range.+>+> These fossils likely came from an ancient ancestor of the leviathans which inhabit the planet today. The relative size and delicacy of the bones suggests they formed part of the ear canal, or some other complex internal structure.+ +### Local Plants+ +> Local plants being held in stasis. The aliens evidently sought an extensive knowledge of the planet's ecosystem, which would have been necessary to support any live specimen research.+>+> The large laboratory table and accompanying scanners incorporate technologies far beyond our current level of understanding.+>+> Hypotheses:+> - Equipment maintenance+> - Staff maintenance+> - Specimen analysis+> - Specimen gene manipulation+ +### Alien Devices+ +> The prominence and facing of these alien devices suggests they are some kind of probe or sensor. Their subject would seem to be the vast skeleton in the center of the cavern. The attached cable network may lead to a remote power station or data hub.+>+> Assessment: Investigate+ +### Fauna Research+ +> Extensive alien research data on the local fauna, with a special focus on their reproductive methods. Core conclusions have been synthesized:+> - The aliens discovered the lifeforms on the planet have just one sex+> - They observed local organisms engaging in asexual reproduction+> - All healthy individuals tested were capable of egg-laying+> - Eggs usually required genetic material from another of the species+> - In rare case only one parent was required, with evolutionary mutation introduced by the effects of the environment itself+>+> Research appears to have been focused around hatching conditions and genetic variations between parent and child.+ +## Trivia+ +The data bank entry for the bone specimens case states that they are bones from ancient relatives of living leviathans, possibly being ear bones. Despite this description, all three of these bones actually belong to the Reaper Leviathan and can be seen in their skeletons.
