They resemble large gateways and have a bright green, semi-transparent portal within. With extensive information on the sea emperors themselves it may still be possible to fabricate an artificial hatching enzyme using indigenous ingredients, however the only surviving source of that information may be the sea emperor itself. A large pillar, called the Ion Cube Fabricator, lies in the center of the chamber, which is used to create Large Ion Cube Deposits. Stage 2: Green skin lesions and flu-like symptoms. Ghostrays, jellyrays, crimson rays and rabbit rays likely all share a common evolutionary ancestor. Stage 4: Complete shutdown of executive function. Live specimens terminated. They were built by the Precursors about one millennium previous to the crash of the Aurora spaceship. Your immune system is currently combating the infection at low efficiency. You have been infected with a previously unknown, waterborne bacterium. The Primary Containment Facility, like the other Alien Bases, was built a little under one thousand years ago. Emergency Steps Taken: Core worlds quarantined. The main feature of the Primary Containment Facility; a huge aquarium containing the Sea Emperor Leviathan and the five remaining Sea Emperor Leviathan Eggs. Without the means at the facility to house a fully grown sea dragon specimen, it is possible the aliens sought to study instead the egg-laying and incubation process. There is an Arch directly behind the Incubator, which connects to an Arch near the This device appears to be the origin of the raw mineral that forms the base of the ion cubes which power smaller alien systems. Around this pillar are cases containing the A collection of eleven relics are kept in the Primary Containment Facility, with one of human origin, some of Precursor origin, but most from other, unidentified alien species. A large pillar, called the Ion Cube Fabricator, lies in the center of the chamber, which is used to create Large Ion Cube Deposits. Some of these are located within Alien Arch Caches, which are caverns containing the Alien Arches, found in certain biomes. Around this pillar are cases containing the Alien Relics, six on each side. An access point to the alien piping system transporting water to and from the containment facility. While all other creatures encountered within the facility are isolated within it, peepers appear to be coming and going of their own accord via the alien pipe network. This large egg is held in a hermetically sealed environment, and has been chemically sterilized. The brain and central nervous system have been digitally augmented with advanced processing power and remote communications. While some rays have stayed within the limits of the cave systems where they first evolved, others are relatively more recent adaptations to new environments, likely the results of overpopulation. When the player enters an Alien Arch, it plays an SFX similar to when a Warper warps the player. Confirmed deaths: 143 billion individuals. Bacterial Mechanisms: Attaches to healthy living cells and mutates the basic genetic structure. The pipes drawing water into the containment facility are filled with peepers arriving from the surface. In a normal life cycle it seems likely that sea emperors would have buried their eggs in shallower waters, where different organic materials in the soil would have triggered a hatching response. It is mainly a straight path from the entrance to the This terminal contains extensive data regarding the bacterial contagion identified as 'Kharaa'. Different species of ray indigenous to 4546B, each adapted to different environments. - On arrival, peepers are approaching the sea emperorSPECIMEN SIZE CATEGORIES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED UPWARD TO ACCOMMODATE THIS SPECIES Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. The base was attacked and destroyed by a It is possible the Disease Research Facility was constructed partially to study the The interior of the Disease Research Facility is accessible via an entrance on its northeast face near the top of the structure. Every time the deposit on it is completely depleted the pillar will rise up and, after a while, fabricate a new deposit, after which the pillar will lower back down. The alien researchers went to great lengths to provide for the lifeform's environmental needs, including the import of interdependent flora and fauna via an onsite warpgate, however its health quickly deteriorated. It is much too small for the emperor to pass through, but would accommodate smaller lifeforms. It is likely that ideal hatching conditions for the eggs vary considerably from ideal survival conditions for the parent. Various fragments including panels, large chunks, and cablesAn Ion Cube found in the balcony area, right next to the entranceA small room close to the entrance containing a data terminal. How’d you get by the Ghost Leviathan? Pandemic Development: Network error resulted in routine quarantine procedure failure. The Aquarium is teeming with life; schools of fish, The Incubator Device is found in a large hollow in the ground surrounded by small mounds of rock amongst which the Emperor will nestle itself when the player gets close to the 5 eggs that are on it. Miniaturized phase technology has been implanted beneath the skin and is triggered by the central nervous system, allowing the construct to teleport at will. Symptoms: Stage 1: Gradual immune system failure. Contagion was uploaded to, and spread quickly through, the core worlds. WARNING: Vaccine development program terminated. It would have most resembled the ghostray in size and appearance, with translucent skin for camouflage and forward-mounted eyes for hunting.
