Ency_Precursor_LostRiverBase_GiantFishSkeleton Skeletal Remains Found in Alien Habitat

The skeletal remains of a vast predator, discovered inside an artificial habitat at the alien research facility.

1. Habitat: The environment constructed to house the specimen suggests it was kept alive in containment for research purposes for months, or even years. Organic matter indicates the habitat once supported extensive plantlife, though it has since decayed.

2. Cause of Death: Time of death coincides with the facility's abandonment. There is little physical damage to the skeleton, suggesting death from malnourishment or outside interference.

3. Biology: While it shares some skeletal traits with the biter, this fossilized specimen is significantly larger, and features unusual forearms more in common with the sea dragon. It matches no living species encountered so far, indicating it has either faced extinction in the past thousand years, or evolved beyond recognition.

This egg casing matches the sea dragon leviathan.

Ency_Precursor_LostRiverBase_SeaDragonSkeleton Sea Dragon Skeleton

This semi-intact skeletal structure features a 99% overlap with that of the sea dragon leviathan, suggesting it is either the same species, or a close cousin.

1. Head Trauma: There is clear evidence of physical trauma to the head. The damage is so severe it must have been received shortly before death, somewhere nearby, likely caused by high speed collision with a solid object.

2. Age: The skeleton has been well-preserved, but calcium decay suggests an approximate time of death around one thousand years ago. Bone growth suggests the creature itself was in the egg-laying stage of its lifecycle.

Projections suggest this lifeform would have been far larger than any other encountered on the planet. The remains date to seven thousand years ago.

Precursor_LostRiverBase_ScanningCableScan


This alien sensor is oriented toward the skeletal remains, suggesting this outpost was established in part to study the ecosystem's evolutionary biology.No remaining signs of bacterial infection.

Precursor_Cache_LostRiverBonesScan


These fossils likely came from an ancient ancestor of the leviathans which inhabit the planet today.

Precursor_Cache_LostRiverPlantCaseScan


This local fauna is being held in stasis. The aliens evidently sought an extensive knowledge of the planet's ecosystem.

The large laboratory table and accompanying scanners incorporate technologies far beyond our current level of understanding.

Hypotheses: - Equipment maintenance - Staff maintenance - Specimen analysis - Specimen gene manipulation

PrecursorPrisonArtifact1-10 Data Bank Entries

<tabber> 1=


This alien device appears to be designed to eliminate all organic substances in range by emitting a lethal, but contained radioactive field.

|-| 2=


This device is some form of communications relay, apparently projecting the presence of the user to a remote location. There do not seem to be any other devices in range.

|-| 3=


This device is a rudimentary version of the keys used to access these facilities. It may have been kept here for symbolic purposes, or legacy support.

|-| 4=


It is unclear why technology of this sophistication has not been found elsewhere on the planet. Its production may have been restricted, or too costly, or it may have been pillaged from a more ancient civilization.

|-| 5=


This carving is hundreds of thousands of years old, and made from an unrecognized natural fiber, likely grown on an as yet undiscovered planet.

|-| 6=


Despite its simple design, this device contains enough potential energy to destroy the entire planet, and most of the solar system. Fortunately, it has malfunctioned.

|-| 7=


This weapon appears to be millions of years old, and matches no previously encountered technologies.

|-| 8=


An ancient earth blade, dated back to the 13th century mongolian empire. Blood samples on the blade match the DNA of seven separate heads of state from the period.

|-| 9=


This case is composed of an impregnable, translucent metal at the distant end of the periodic table. Scans do not reveal any contents.

|-| 10=


This case contains highly sophisticated nanobots capable of infiltrating a foreign body and deconstructing it from the inside.

Description

The Lost River is generally gloomy and foggy, possessing a distinct greenish water tint that is mostly illuminated by acidic brine pools. These pools cover almost all of the lower portions of the caverns. The green brine found throughout most of the cave system will harm the player, but the blue brine found within the Tree Cove is harmless.

The Disease Research Facility is located in the Lost River, inside a cavern.

The Lost River is composed of five distinct areas:

<tabber> Bones Field=

"Bones Field"

The Bones Field is a vast cavern within the Lost River, where a massive skeleton of an unknown fauna can be seen laying. It connects to the first Blood Kelp Zone, through passages, each of them having its own flora and particular landscape, as well as the Ghost Canyon.

Ghost Canyon=

"Ghost Canyon"

The Ghost Canyon is a huge passage featuring multiple caves and tunnels branching out from one main canyon. It connects to the Bones Field from the south. Numerous roots and luminescent-tipped branches litter the sides and bottom of the brine-filled trenches.

Ghost Forest=

"Ghost Forest"

A large chamber that leads from the main entrance of the Lost River (located in the second Blood Kelp Zone). This area is filled with whitish glowing blobs and dark brown, bioluminescent giant Ghost Trees, and is also the starting point of the brine river. From there, the player can either go straight forward into the Bones Field, or turn right to enter the Tree Cove. Brinefalls of various sizes are present, and a smaller version of the skull found in the Bones Field can be found here.

Tree Cove=

"Tree Cove"

The Tree Cove is a large cavern within the Lost River. The brine river forms a large lake there, with the luminous Giant Cove Tree in its center. However, the color of the brine is a bright blue, compared to the green brine of the other sections of the Lost River One end opens to the north tunnel leading to the Bones Field, and the other, a corridor, to the Inactive Lava Zone. Roots and branches grow scattered on the brine-lake and numerous Ghostrays inhabit the chamber.

"Junction"

The Junction is characterised by a large plateau surrounded by a ring of brine. At the top of the plateau are several smokers, and a few glowing blobs. A naturally formed bridge connects the plateau to the northern side of the cavern, towards the Ghost Forest. Brinefalls from the north and south flow into the brine here, which contains some ghost trees and roots. The Junction connects to the Bones Field to the south, the Ghost Forest to the north, the Disease Research Facility's cavern to the east, and the Tree Cove to the west.

Finalize all Navboxes

To Do:

Add Navboxes to the sites
Navbox items upgrade modules, in development, seabase modules is missing
Alphabetical order

- in all lists, too

Check with Blueprints
Check all Navboxes before adding new Navboxes

what about floodlight and light stick and other light in seabase modules
add interior, exterior modules, ...
add categorys for flora, biomes
