S.O.S, by Pleasant Disaster

While scanning planets in Hub system 210 you detect a faint signal from its furthest planet “Orxon NW4”.

Upon approach, further analysis reveals the planet is confirmed to be infested with vile spawn and titan burrows. While the signal is not strong enough to transmit a clear message, you are able to pinpoint its location.

Nearing the signals origin you spot an oddly shaped building and park on its lonely landing pad. You exit your ship and walk towards the front entrance to the building when you see an injured Gek reaching up at you.

“Please, help us!” He says with a weak voice. “We were researching this planets infestation. We thought the infrastructure we placed would be strong enough to contain our research while keeping out the vile spawn… but we underestimated the Titan worms burrowing strength.

We need to transmit our research data and a warning signal before it’s all lost. The data can send itself however right now the facility is only running on reserve power. The data won’t transmit until the main generator is switched on.

He coughs covering his mouth with his hand, layering it with a mist of his own blood.

“That building there,” he points northeast with his bloodied hand, “that building is where the main generator is. You won’t be able to get to it from the outside. You’ll need to work your way through the facility from here in order to reach it.”

You pull out your scanner looking towards the far away building. Analysis mode indicates a titan worm borrow in the location of the building. You decide to tag it. Still looking through your scanner you say to the Gek, “that buildings almost 400u away and my scanner says there’s a titan worm there, you sure there’s not an easier…”.

Your words are cut short as you turn around to see the Gek is no longer moving. You take a deep breath, check your gear, and step into the facility.

How to Play

• this is a solo player mission
• Make sure multiplayer is turned off (switches and combat may not work properly in multiplayer)
  
• allow the base to fully render before going in
  
• save at the save beacon near the entrance, should anything happen that may prevent you from moving forward through the facility, reload your Restore point (not auto save) and start over
  
• Tag the Titan Burrow approximately 400u away. This Titan burrow could disappear if not tagged and fighting it is part of the fun)
  
• clear out any infestation within the facility
  
• music ON, sound ON
• be aware some areas will require finding hidden switch’s to open closed doors while others may require to press a number of switch’s in a specific sequence
  

Have fun, if you get stuck or frustrated simply reload your restore point, take a break and come back another time.
