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.+ +### Available Options+* [Basic Basebuilding](#basic-basebuilding)+* [Start Biomods](#start-biomods)+* [alone.txt](#alonetxt)+* [over.txt](#overtxt)+* [Personal Messages](#personal-messages)+ +## Basic Basebuilding+ +**Header:** Basic Basebuilding+ +> **System:** Mode: ISLAND.

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.+ +*[metadata author = Zygimantis "Mantis" Tarvydas]*+ +## Start Biomods+ +**Header:** Start Biomods+ +> **System:** Mode: ISLAND.

Boot the Noetic Advisor?+ +**NoA:**+Retrieving voice data message.+ +**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.
