Distress signal cluster recorded south-west of Habitat. Exact location undetermined. Analysis of pre-emergency audio communications suggests:

1. Exploration target: unexplored cave system.
2. Significant depth.
3. Heat risk.

“The first time Zip drowned she was down at the bottom of the hot cave. She’s got a kurul key. It might be on her old body.”

225 meters southeast of main habitat.

Habitat is gone. The biobeds blew up and NoA flooded everything. I got to my air just in time. We tried to drag people clear but…they’re gone. I don’t think they’re gonna reprint.

I’m taking survivors to the Tadpole Pens. Swim down the east tunnel past Sophie’s office, to the baby jellies. I’ll do a head count at the worksite there.

These black boxes indicate the exit (“death”) points of past forks. They are badly damaged.

Scanning multiple black boxes could allow limited data retrieval, including last common point of origin.

Telemetry indicates no more than nine blackboxes are active in the area.
