-This planet is toxic to humans, but Sophie believed reprinting could slow the toxicity
-The colonists used special biobeds to improve their dexterity and endurance
Locate these biobeds to improve your toolbelt and inventory maximum. |
| Cicada Wreck (Canteen) | Investigations | A fragment of an AISV Cicada lander module, broken into two segments. Originally a deployable colony structure, including a canteen for relaxation and refreshment.
-Although pumped out and used as a worksite in the past, the canteen has flooded again
-Corrosion and weathering make it difficult to determine whether this lander deployed safely from the Cicada, or broke away violently
|
| Cicada Wreck (Empty Hold) | Investigations | A fragment of a cargo hold from an AISV Cicada lander module. Most of its cargo was either removed or expelled.
-Corrosion and weathering make it difficult to determine whether this lander deployed safely from the Cicada, or broke away violently |
| Cicada Wreck (EVA Prep) | Investigations | A large fragment of an AISV Cicada compartment, including an EVA suit locker for spaceborne construction.
-The presence of a compartment from the Cicada itself (rather than a lander module) suggests the ship may have broken apart violently
-Corrosion and weathering make it difficult to determine the exact circumstances of the fragment's arrival
-Tool marks indicate partial salvage has been attempted, but the tools are not of Alterra manufacture
-Acoustics indicate fragments of useful tools are present |
| Cicada Wreck (Lander Garage) | Investigations | A fragment of wreckage from an AISV Cicada lander module, including a large garage.
-Corrosion and weathering make it difficult to determine whether this lander deployed safely from the Cicada, or broke away violently
-Garage was opened after landing so any surviving vehicles could sortie
|
| Cicada Wreck (Stairway to Heaven) | Investigations | A fragment of an AISV Cicada compartment, including a descending emergency stairwell.
-The presence of a compartment from the Cicada itself (rather than a lander module) suggests the ship may have broken apart violently
-Seawater sampling detects a source of bloom virus beneath the fragment
A juvenile angel comb may have been trapped beneath the wreckage. |
| Cicada Wreck (Therapy Room) | Investigations | A fragment of an AISV Cicada compartment, originally intended for atmospheric therapy.

Risk code: sierra, andros, warrant-6. |
| Colonist Bunker (Anita's Garden) | Investigations | A remote habitat with several long-term biological experiments testing the growth conditions of Protean life.
-Contains a biobed rigged to upgrade colonists' bodies (license violations have disabled the bed's ability to reprint lost colonists)
-Biobed set to analyze changes in a patient's genetics and gene expression
-Biobed recorded at least one death caused by a cytokine storm, a reaction to failed gene therapy
The experiments in the habitat were initiated by colony purser Anita Gottschall. |
| Colonist Bunker (Nahema's Lab) | Investigations | A remote habitat used as a biological and ecological laboratory.
-Contains a biobed rigged to upgrade colonists' bodies (license violations have disabled the bed's ability to reprint lost colonists)
-Biobed repeatedly referred a patient for mental health assessment focused on dysthymia complicated by anxiety
The habitat's metadata has been destroyed by crude software intrusion. Chemical traces indicate it was used to handle explosives in addition to its scientific functions. |
| Colonist Bunker (Quaker's Meetinghouse) | Investigations | A remote habitat used as a meeting ground and miscellaneous workspace.
-Contains a biobed rigged to upgrade colonists' bodies (license violations have disabled the bed's ability to reprint lost colonists)
-Biobed recorded a time-series analysis of changes in a patient's genetics and gene expression
-Records include observation of nearby crab species and conversations with other colonists
Metadata suggests the habitat belonged to chaplain-psychiatrist and AI ethicist Lucretia "Quaker" Kapoor. |
| Colonist Bunker (Salvage) | Investigations | A habitat buried below the center of the coral gardens biome. May have supported salvage operations in nearby, although its depth makes quick access inconvenient.
-Contains a biobed rigged to upgrade colonists' bodies
-Due to violations of the terms of use, the biobed's ability to reprint lost colonists has been disabled
Metadata suggests it was constructed by Zygimantis "Mantis" Tarvydas. It may have served as a personal retreat as well as a worksite. |
| Colonist Bunker (Sophie's Retreat) | Investigations | A remote habitat on the edge of the jelly barrens in the northwest of the coral gardens biome.
-Contains a biobed rigged to upgrade colonists' bodies (license violations have disabled the bed's ability to reprint lost colonists)
-Biobed records indicate that it printed colonist PC/R-DMIK9-SB.02 more than twenty times
Records stored on site were signed by Sophie "Butcher" Boucher, colony surgeon. She may have used this site for medical research. |
| Colonist Bunker (Unauthorized NoA Modification) | Investigations | A remote habitat buried in volcanic rock near a tremendous sinkhole or lava tube.
-Contains a biobed rigged to upgrade colonists' bodies (license violations have disabled the bed's ability to reprint lost colonists)
Components of a disassembled NoA terminal scattered around the site suggest that it was used in an attempt to subvert, reprogram, or disable proprietary Alterra business intelligence. |

STAND BY FOR UPDATES |
| Hot Cave Base Camp | Investigations | A checkpoint for expeditions into the geothermal cave below.
-On-site NoA node could be reactivated for data retrieval
A cluster of blackboxes in the cave suggest it is lethally dangerous. |
| Iso | Investigations | Iso asphyxiated after being abducted by alien organisms.
Iso was carrying an upgraded scanner. Retrieving its blueprints could allow a modification station to replicate it. |
| Karakorum Power Plant | Investigations | An enormous Axum power plant. Named 'Karakorum' by pioneers.
-Originally powered by hot water from the titan rockbore below
-Later modified to burn methane
-Destroyed by sabotage
-Could be repaired and reconnected to the rockbore to generate Axum power
-Startup procedure will require translating Axum language
Repairs will require an upgraded scanner and enormous quantities of raw material. |
| Metal Farms | Investigations | Industrial metal extractors the Axum used to draw dissolved metal out of the seawater.
-Scan to create blueprints for a colonist metal farm |
| Old Habitat | Investigations | A developed habitat with internal growbeds and berths for more than twenty colonists.

-NoA opened the seacocks to flood the habitat and control a fire
-Colonists were drowned before they could reach their air supplies
-Biobeds were destroyed in the fire, preventing colonists from reprinting
Further investigation required. Recommend searching the surrounding habitat and its NoA node for more information. |

| Rosetta Stone | Investigations | An artificial structure with markings in two alien scripts.
-One is the Architect language known from 4546b (Architect Linear)
-The other is an unknown language (Radial A)
If the two markings contain the same content, this will allow provisional translation of Radial A. |
| Ruby | Investigations | Lead pilot T. "Ruby" Anar was attacked by a marrowbreach while trying to draw it away from younger colonists.
-Ruby was part of a group that fled their old habitat towards the eastern edge of the biome.

| Singh | Investigations | Singh was fatally wounded by an unknown attacker with a spear.
Singh was investigating the activity of alien organisms he referred to as 'Tailings'. |
| Tadpole Pens | Investigations | A fabrication and maintenance site for Tadpole submersibles. There is a functioning NoA node in the control room.
-Site suggests Tadpoles were often deployed eastward
-Material may have been returned by Tadpole expeditions

-Access to the control room is secured by a passcode
Access codes were stored in the PDAs and blackboxes of high-ranking colonists. |
| Tailings Village | Investigations | A group of nonhuman structures above a hot, geologically active cave.
-Constructed from salvage and basic crafted materials
-Hot cave may have provided food or energy
-Apparently abandoned
First contact with a tool-using alien species carries significant risk to the individual pioneer and to humanity. |
