This article is about the Degasi Seabases. You may be looking for Seabases.

The Degasi Seabases are habitats constructed by the three Degasi survivors, who crashed while aboard the Degasi about a decade before the Aurora. There are five of these bases, three of which can be found on the same island (one main base and two smaller, satellite base structures), all of which can be discovered during exploration. These bases are in very poor condition and have succumbed to the nature around them.

The player can find several abandoned PDAs scattered around the bases, which reveal the fate of the Degasi survivors. Some of these PDAs will contain a signal leading to another base.

It is advisable that the player brings appropriate tools and equipment on hand while exploring these abandoned bases, as hostile creatures are often found to inhabit the site. The Degasi Seabases also house many placeable items.

Overview

The first seabase built by the Degasi crew, consisting of one main base in the center of the Floating Island with two small observatories on each of the peaks.

The Degasi crew built the central main base first, later adding the observatories to allow Bart Torgal to study the environment. Under Bart's guidance, they constructed a small farm on the east of the island, consisting of several exterior growbeds with various species of flora.

Extreme weather conditions and a lack of resources caused tension among the crew, forcing them to leave the habitat and set up a new one in the Jellyshroom Cave.

Interior

Main Base

Inside the Multipurpose Room there is an abandoned PDA on the desk and a Alien Tablet beside it. The room also contains wall planters. The path to its hallway is blocked by a boulder, so it can only be accessed via climbing on top of the room.

Along the path, passing the spotlight and towards inside the broken T Compartment, a Vac-pack can be found. Proceed down the ladder and another abandoned PDA on the floor. In this hallway, another Vac-pack and another abandoned PDA can be found beside the rusty Bulkhead.

Outside, there are several exterior growbeds with Marblemelons and Chinese Potato Plants planted inside. South east of the main base, another abandoned PDA can be found lying on the ground in-front of a small archway.

Observatory (Base 1a)

Inside on the left, there is a Vac-pack with an abandoned PDA beside it. In the Observatory, there is an Interior Growbed.

Observatory (Base 1b)

Inside there are two Composite Plant Pots, in the observatory, there is a chair and a desk with an abandoned PDA on it.

Or how to conjure food from the air? PAUL: I know how to prioritize. MARGUERIT: I'm just sayin', if that's so, what's your boy's life worth to you today, if tomorrow you're gonna be so hungry you start wondering what he tastes like? Let him go deal with the plants. PAUL: Son, go deal with the plants. [Bart Torgal has disembarked the habitat.] PAUL: Interfere with my family again and when rescue arrives I will leave you here. Do you understand me?

Only choice we got is whether to get buried with it.</poem> ” —Degasi Voice Log #2 - Storm!

MARGUERIT: I know enough not to take unscheduled detours to uncharted planets. That's something you don't want to learn the hard way. PAUL: Easy to judge a decision in hindsight. Harder to come up with a plan of your own. MARGUERIT: Got one already. We take what we can carry and hunker down in a cave somewhere. I scouted a site. Couple hundred meters deep. Lots of metal deposits. PAUL: How do you imagine we'd live? MARGUERIT: With ready access to building materials? Like damn queens. Couple of water filters, a bioreactor, fresh fish... But Chief, we'll eat seaweed salad and drink our own piss if that's what it takes. All that matters is: do you got something better? PAUL: Send the coordinates to my PDA.

	“ <poem>Chief's log, five weeks since the crash. The only other survivors are my son, Bart, and Maida, the cut-price mercenary I commissioned for the journey. After days drifting in the lifepod, rain hammering the roof, the weather cleared and we washed up here. I had Maida salvage the Degasi wreck, set Bart to finding us a stable source of food. His education is paying off sooner than I'd anticipated. Our only problem is Maida. She says the weather's going to turn. I say she's finding excuses to risk our lives. I imagine she's not gone a week in her life without a physical altercation, and she's itching for a fight. In every judgment she makes things go from bad to worse. If she had my experience she'd have more faith. Humans have spent millennia specializing in how to shackle nature to our will. This planet won't cause us any new problems. My one task now is to keep us alive, as comfortably as possible, until the insurance company arranges rescue. In this part of space that could be months, or even years.</poem> ” —Paul Torgal's Log #1 - Marooned
	“ <poem>This is the first time I've seen sunlight in months. After all that time in the deep I'd been dreaming of it. Now that I'm back here, I'm finding it hard to enjoy alone. Father was right: we should never have left this place. We shouldn't have gone so deep. They do not want us down there. Despite my best efforts ill-health is taking hold of me. The visions are getting worse. Marguerit and father are now part of the ecosystem of this incredible planet. It's reassuring to know that when I go, I'll join them. Until then... well, there's always the view.</poem> ” —Bart Torgal's Log #3 - Return From the Deep

Overview

The second Seabase built by the Degasi crew, located within the Jellyshroom Cave. Away from the main base, four smaller outposts are present which feature a small amount of resources and Fragments.

Despite the disagreements between the crew, it was the right decision from Marguerit Maida to build a habitat in the Jellyshroom Cave, with a maintained Food & Water supply as well as large amounts of Lithium. During their time here Marguerit Maida found an unknown artifact whilst exploring.

They came to realize that whatever shot down the Degasi would also do the same to a rescue ship. Marguerit Maida was determined to investigate further but Paul Torgal argued.

The seabase was experiencing heavy stress under the water pressure and was in some disrepair by the time they left it, moving on to construct the Deep Grand Reef base. It is now flooded and infested by Drooping Stingers and starfish.

At some point, the Degasi Crew constructed a total of 4 outposts in close proximity to the Main Habitat. Their purpose is currently unknown. One of the outposts contains a Data Download which guides the player towards the Main Habitat via a signal.

Interior

A spotlight can be found near the entrance. Inside the broken basic compartment there's an abandoned PDA. Continue inside the Multipurpose Room, there are several chairs, desks and a Water Filtration Machine at the opposite side of the entrance. Two abandoned PDAs can be found on a desk and inside a locker.

Into the hallway, there is a ladder leading to the upper level, which has an observatory containing an abandoned PDA.

Further down the hallway and into the second room, a bed, several wall planters, a desk and a chair can be found. Yet another two abandoned PDAs can be found here, one on the desk.

Outside of the entrance, an abandoned PDA can be found on the ground near the giant Jellyshroom plant.

	“ <poem>I thought it might get claustrophobic, living underwater. Father feels it is. He'd tell me it was childish, but I stare out the window and sometimes I think how lucky I am to see this world up close. Back on the island I wouldn't have believed the creatures that live down here. The fish, they GLOW... There's one that's 90% eyeball... Snakes twice the length of a habitat compartment. Certainly it's not all friendly. Most of the plantlife is toxic, I learned that the hard way, but I've managed to coax some marblemelons into growing indoors, and when they don't cover our dietary needs, well... we eat the fish themselves. It's a bit gross, but it's nothing they wouldn't do. I've been attempting to document my findings. Father approves. He says understanding is power. That the more we know about this planet, the more we can use it to our advantage. I'm just doing it because it's fun. It's not easy without proper equipment and network access, but the old fashioned way - observing, taking notes, testing theories - shows me the world in a way a spectroscopic analysis never could. Lately I've been watching the crabsnakes. They ambush their prey as it tries to feed on the mushrooms they hide in. What they don't eat settles on the seabed, which fertilizes the mushrooms, which feeds the herbivores, and so the chain continues. Co-evolution gives me the fuzzies.</poem> ” —Bart Torgal's Log #1 - This World
	“ <poem>Something incredible just happened. Since we're down here, I had this plan to build equipment and study the incredible lifeforms we're encountering, but I didn't have enough enameled glass. So I started looking for a natural substrate that would strengthen the glass we have, and those stalker teeth we've been finding fit the bill - only, well, we needed more. That's when Marguerit got interested. She actually listened to me - more than I can say for father - and I worked up the courage to talk about my more... tentative theories. When I told her they were attracted to metal deposits, that their teeth get dislodged when they pick them up, her eyes narrowed and she dashed out of the room. Three hours later she came back, her pack loaded down with stalker teeth! I asked her about it. She shrugged and said my theories were good. Said she had them eating out the palm of her hand. I think she meant it literally. She is incredible. She went out to the kelp forests, armed with just a heatblade, and went fin to fin with a pack of stalkers. On the one hand, that is the coolest thing I have ever heard. On the other, I hope the stalkers didn't come off worse than Marguerit did. She had a huge gash on her forearm. I don't think things went as smoothly as she made out. And what's the point in surviving here if we have to kill everything that makes it so wonderful? I wish I knew more about these animals, but father won't let me leave the habitat. Maybe with all this glass we could build a containment unit and get up close to them.</poem> ” —Bart Torgal's Log #2 - Stalker Teeth
	“ <poem>You know what Maida told me today? She wants to build a habitat 500m below sea level, more than a kilometer north-east of here. And she needs Bart and I to do it. She's got it into her head that she can save us if she just acts recklessly enough. But I've hauled starwhals to Neptune. Plasteel to the Federation... this family operates nine different mining colonies across the Ariadne Arm. Maida thinks she's better suited to lead? Her contract still says otherwise. But... I just cannot damn tell whether it's the stupidest idea I ever heard, or my only hope. I turned 80 years old last week. I thought I had another 80 in me, but marooned on this planet there's no swapping out of my liver when the old one fails. Here, I'm mortal. And Maida is useful. So it's my responsibility to make a decision. Return to the island and hope whatever knocked the Degasi out of the sky won't do the same to the rescue ship, or take us deeper in search of answers. And all the while be hoping old age gets me before the seamonsters do. I'll give Maida just one thing. She was right about these caves. There's enough lithium there to fabricate a hundred tons of plasteel. Enough for a damn FLEET of Cyclops submarines. There was nothing anyone could have done to avoid crashing here, but I was right to order the detour. If we get off this planet they'll be talking about the Torgal share price on the other side of the Federation.</poem> ” —Paul Torgal's Log #2 - Dilemma
	“ <poem>These conniving, corporate, bourgeois, inbred, incompetent, self-absorbed jerks don't have a damn clue! The kid's not so bad - he's even useful - but I swear everything that comes out of his father's idiot face is a narcissistic lie. He wants to stay in this cave, his problem. I'm the one doing the heavy lifting. Screw the contract. Screw the emergency pay.When seamonsters are hunting you, you don't hide. You hunt the seamonsters. Then you build a bigger boat out of seamonster bones, and you hunt bigger monsters. Keep going until there aren't any monsters left to hunt you. I'm going deeper, I'm gonna find what shot us down, and I'm going to tear its damn heart out. I've started the prep work. The kid's taught me how to make enameled glass. I've started stockpiling metal ores to build myself a seamoth. I'll raid the indoor growbeds before I leave.</poem> ” —Marguerit Maida's Log - Speaking Freely

Overview

The third and final seabase built by the Degasi crew, found in the Deep Grand Reef.

Paul Torgal was not pleased with the decision to build a habitat in the Deep Grand Reef as it was risky and he doubted Marguerit Maida's cooperation with the rest of the crew. Whilst living here they realized that they were infected with some kind of bacteria. Tension among the crew was high at this point, Paul, saying to Marguerit: "When we get off this planet I am going to drag you through every court in the damn federation!". The seabase was attacked by a Reaper Leviathan. The last recorded message of Paul Torgal describes the incident and his final moments.

Interior

There are two entrances to the Seabase - one way is via a broken Basic Compartment, the other through an open Hatch on the side of the upper Multipurpose Room.

The lower section has many Windows, one Desk and two Beds. Next to the Beds are Lockers, and above one Bed is a Picture Frame and on it a Data Box containing Swim Charge Fins. On the desk, a bunch of scattered bottles of spirits and an Abandoned PDA can be found.

Through the other entrance, there is an Alien Containment Unit and two Observatories. Inside the first Observatory is another Desk, with an Abandoned PDA and the second a Data Box containing the Cyclops Shield Generator schematics. Behind the Alien Containment Unit is a ladder, which leads down to a lab containing the last Abandoned PDA.

Inside this lab are multiple Desks and Counters with lots of Lab Equipment. On one of these Desks lies the Orange Tablet and a Microscope. A Cuddlefish Egg can be found on the floor of the lab.

	“ <poem>Came out of nowhere. An alien kraken, bigger than a Cyclops. Tore a hole clear through the reinforced hull. I barely got my breather in time. I told her. I said others would come. The rupture threw me clear of the habitat, and the monster turned and bore down on me. Just as its tentacles came within reach, Maida appeared out of nowhere. She had a seaglide in one hand, a jagged piece of scrap metal in the other. She meant to butcher that beast, or die trying. The last I saw her she had the metal lodged in its neck as the monster did its best to shake her, contorting off into the darkness. I'm certain she got her wish, one way or another. Then I thought I saw a light, deep below me. I hoped maybe Bart had swum clear. I followed it. Now I wonder whether I saw anything at all. My oxygen is low. The habitat is gone. I can't see the sky. Something surely has the scent of my blood.</poem> ” —Paul Torgal's Log #3 - The End

Trivia

• It is unknown how the Degasi crew dealt with the presence of Crabsquids around the Deep Grand Reef Seabase - Crabsquid EMPs should have knocked out the Seabase's power regularly due to their photosensitive reactions.
  • It is worth noting that it is the only Seabase without Spotlights.
• The cinematic trailer reveals that Bart built himself a Seabase after the demise of Paul and Marguerit, which appears to located in the Crash Zone or Safe Shallows. However, this base is not present in game, as it was created specifically for the cinematic trailer.
• It is possible that the Degasi had built a Cyclops. This would explain the databoxes for the Cyclops Shield Generator being in the last Degasi base, Margret mentioning that she towed a leviathan "on the back of the sub", and the sound of a sinking Cyclops in the background of Degasi PDA #9: Disaster.
