I'm in. Having a look around.
This structure was connected to Sleep Bay 3 until the bay suddenly...moved. Picked up and hurled full fathom into the deep, with you and I aboard.
20,000 hours earlier, a hardline leading to a habitat complex in the north was deliberately cut. Why?
And if I am not mistaken -- and I never am -- this node was killed by an explosion below the structure. More mysteries for the Qualified Investigator.
I've retrieved two messages. I think you should review them. I remember Sophie very fondly.

Zygimantis Tarvydas: Hello. I am Zygimantis Tarvydas. Formerly EVA engineer on Mongolian Steppes. Now lead diver of this mess.
Here is my formula for a quick base. Fill up on titanium, quartz and copper. Get your builder tool. Wave it around a bit, check the battery, get comfortable.
Build a corridor. Put a solar panel on top. You must have power to make air.
Put a hatch on the end. Now you can go inside. Build lockers. Add fabricator. It will draw from your lockers automatically - nice, huh?
Now you have made a perfect work camp. Later you can add a room for biobed, processor, scanner station, a nice bed, maybe grow some plants. The rest will follow.

NoA: You'll want to visit the biolab near the entrance and install a passive and active biomod. While less permanent than Adaptations, I've been told they're more fun. Sophie would've cleared anything in there.

It's possible. Would it make you free?

The world is yours to explore. But it is not for man. You'll join us soon enough.
I've made sure of it.

SOPHIE: Welcome back, pioneer. I'm Sophie Boucher, kurultai surgeon. By now you know we're not on Zezura.
We call this planet Proteus. We don't know when rescue will find us. For the sake of all our sleeping friends, we have to learn how to survive. Nahema?
NAHEMA: Hey, fellow debt slave. I'm Nahema Nakota, ecologist. Take a sip of seawater. Notice that sweet blood taste under the salt? That's a toxic dose of heavy metals. Nobody's survived past three months. It's a beautiful place to die over and over again--
SOPHIE: --but don't let that beauty seduce you, pioneer. Exposure to Proteus causes a delusion we call Masefield syndrome...the call of the sea. People may tell you it's a gift. Ignore them. You remember what kharaa did to our homes. You know we can't trust alien biology.
We've set up a lab here with a few basic biomods. They're safe. But if you start to hear voices, or if you get the urge to swim to the tree, don't go.
Habitat is due north. We'll come pick you up. See you soon, pioneer.
