Location: deep space. The planetoid Haphaestus. Lancer Corporation mining personnel from Outpost 4 are running routine extraction ops. Gouger 1, the primary excavation rig, hits something strange — sensors read an anomalous mass just as the central drill breaks through into a cavity at 200 metres.
“Walt! WALT!! ALL of you… come down here! We hit… something. I don’t know what it can be. It looks… man-made. I think it is… made of metal? But it is like no metal I have ever seen.” — Alex Petrovich, Chief Operator
