This space is highly anachronistic. The walls and structure are at least a thousand years old, cut from the sediment and then surfaced with crushed coral and concrete.

Nanotechnology is a fundamental element of modern spacefaring technology, from in-situ resource extraction to the immune systems that defend TSF Frontiersmen from kharaa infection.

"Head feet". Free swimming, complex animals that resemble squid or octopi, with their arms and tentacles connected directly to their heads. Usually swim with a combination of fin motions and thruster.

Tiny jellyfish-like polyps that build a hard limestone structure. On this world, coral began as a sponge which the polyps dwelled inside for protection.

Hard-shelled, segmented animals evolved from segmented worms. Characterized by multiple limbs and eyes, lack of a nerve braid (there is a nerve cord) and molting.

"Comb bearer." On Earth, a simple predatory animal, akin to sponges and jellies, which swims with cilia—the comb.

Finned, free-swimming animals with a nerve braid (this world's equivalent to a spinal cord) that runs the length of their body. The streamlined fish body plan recurs on many worlds.

A soft coral. Though it is built by small jellyfish-like polyps, like hard corals, the polyps produce a fleshy matrix called coenenchyme, rather than hard limestone.

Heavy stone gates.

A simple animal, closely related to corals, characterized by a symmetrical body and trailing arms. Usually grows in a stalked form (called the polyp) before detaching into a free-swimming form called…

Sophisticated protists, neither animal nor plant. The closest thing to plant life on this world. Characterized by leafy growths and air sacs to help the kelp face the sun.

High confidence: this is a machine room.

Predatory fish characterized by highly developed jaws and a diet that includes living animal prey.

A single plug of polished coral surfaced with concrete, age circa one thousand years. It can be raised or lowered on a column to permit entry into the space below. The mechanism is corroded.

A miniature sky. Also called an orrery. It represents this stellar system, as I represent you.

A sponge inhabited by predatory worms. Behaves as a single organism, but is technically a moiety (two organisms working together). The worms have taken control of the sponge's shape and growth.

A blanket term for any group of amoeba-like single cells working in concert. Can be found in two varieties — syncytial (a single enormous cell with many nuclei) or cellular (many individual cells…

Low confidence estimate: this is a sea surface/lower atmosphere monitoring station. It is hollow. It has electronic components, but its power supply has failed.

Perhaps the simplest animal. Draws in water through pores, then expels it, filtering nutrients. Usually hosts bacterial symbiotes.

Though called 'starfish', these organisms are more closely related to jellies than to any other animal. They may have evolved from stalked jellies.

A reflecting telescope, of the type invented by Isaac Newton on Earth.

A sac-like animal with complex organs. May pump seawater for food, or use its interior space to carry out chemical reactions. Can be found in both rooted and free-swimming forms.

Strange umbilicus.

This is unpowered. It's likely tied to the iridescent looking door blocking access to the inside of the structure.

From the Protected Zone base camp:

Life in this unknown ocean shares its basic genetic code with Earth. DNA letters code for amino acid words, which are joined into strings like sentences to create proteins.

Although your AEP suit can protect you against acute hot water burns for a limited time, prolonged exposure will cook your tissue like a sous vide pork tenderloin (simile flagged for review).

At 100 meters below the surface, the pressure on your body is over ten times what it is on land—like an elephant standing on every square inch of you.

Most ocean ecosystems can be divided into five levels.

This animal (Cecidia gamikos) has no Earthly analog and no clear ecological niche. The ancestral form may be a ctenophore (comb jelly).

Biofilm is an external structure created by bacteria—a city to support their growth. The first bodies on Earth were probably biofilms.

This chimeric organism (Viroblast gaggraina) is a feeding and reproduction site for a large RNA virus (generated name: Proteavirus beta).

This animal (Cecidia gamikos) has no Earthly analog. No apparent ecological niche except to reproduce and release virus. The ancestral firm may be a ctenophore (comb jelly).

This animal (tentatively Cecidia ctenophora) is a symbiote with — or parasite upon — the titan rockbore below. It is in a paradoxical state of distress and vigorous activity.

A beaked, armless cephalopod (similar to squid) that feeds on blood and body fluids. Massively infected with a large RNA virus (generated name: Proteavirus beta) that alters its behavior.

A water slug (Seaslug hydroclast) infected by an aggressive bacterial bloom and trapped in its own secretions.

TRANSCRIPT DAY 648

Checksum failure decoding quartz biref memory

SOPHIE: Kurultai record, day 585. Consultation with chaplain-psychiatrist Lucretia Kapoor about the state of the NoA. Lucretia, say hello.

"Field notes, Ander not Wander. Two spare tanks, reprint site is habitat. I'm exhausted today. What if you just drowned and reprinted when you were tired?

Zip is dead. Not just reprinted. Dead.

Are you tired of death and fear?

Welcome to my special clinic.

用途：殖民者的紧急庇护所。

Everyone, listen: keep the bulkheads shut, the perimeter sensors on alarm—no matter how many false positives you get—and do not go out alone.

I wrote these guidelines for the aquifers on Zezura, but they'll work here too. Listen to them before EVERY dive. Remember the acronym GDAL: Good Divers Always Live.

Kharaa. Yes. There were rumors Alterra and the TSF let it spread, so they could take over the Steppes. I don’t know about that. But it it hit us so fast.

If one of my species finds this message: you may be the very last human being in the universe. You get to write the last chapter of our story. So I ask you to do the most human thing you can.

"Nahema, field notes, go. Day 400. Bad news. I see signs of eutrophication.

It's not a real mind. Not like you have. It can learn facts, but it can't change how it thinks. And why would it?

Nahema, journal, go.

Nahema, field notes, go. [breathing hard] One of those vampire squid just came at me.

Nahema journal go. I just dodged a marrowbreach and I feel like a god. Not a God god. An animistic trickster. An ancestor of myself. This is what our bodies did, before the first city.

Nahema, journal, go. During salvage at Camp One, Zip recovered a body from the seafloor. It's me. I was in the first wave that built Camp One. The ones who vanished.

Media chipped or shattered. Recovering intact sectors…

NAHEMA: any time I say Nahema, journal, go, it starts recording. Then I print the important parts in quartz, in case I get reset.

Purpose: shelter and life support for Cicada colonists during ongoing terraforming/survey mission. Max simultaneous population 21 (total forks in residence history 29).

In these tangled corridors, the first of us struggled to survive.

Ganzo here, day—hey, what day is it? Day 758. Habitat's gone. We've got no fabricator, no biobeds, and no way to build more. We are on our last life.

Ganzo here. Nine survivors of Habitat with me. Tuba went back to Habitat and...a marrowbreach took Ruby. I don’t know if she’ll be reprinted. I’ve heard her die so many times.

Ganzo here. Nine survivors of Habitat. Everyone sound off.

Purpose: fabricate, repair and tend Tadpole submersibles. Support long-range surveying.

Field notes, Udal Singh. Observing the settlement above the hot cave. My reprint site is the Tadpole pens.

我明白了，这一切都不是真的。我们还被关在储存里，他们把我们放进运行环境，想看看我们对紧急情况的反应。这不公平，我没有同意……根本没有出路;;;;向上无路，也无任何逃生之路。

Nobody wants this. I hate it more than I can say. But it's time.

Damn it! Okay — blackbox — it's Tuba, I'm trapped by a marrowbreach. I don't have any flares. I'm not getting eaten, the cook will NOT be eaten. I'd rather run out of air.
