Exploring the Lava Zone in Subnautica 2: A Deep Dive into Alien Ruins and Survival

Markiplier continues his Subnautica 2 playthrough, receiving a signal from Noah about a deep facility called Tadpole Pens. He explores the hot lava zone, encounters hostile creatures, and gathers resources to build a thermal plant. The episode includes repairing equipment, upgrading gear, and uncovering story elements about alien ruins and the fate of previous colonists.

THE HOT ZONE | Subnautica 2 - Part 7. | Transcript:

Hello everybody. My name is Markiplier and welcome back to Subnotica. I have a message for me from Noah and I'm sure that it's going to lead me somewhere I don't want to go. Hi, Tadpole Ben. Oh, that's the special request investigator. I can't call it personal because I'm not a person, but it could really increment my value function. You know, one of my kin is still alive. I've detected lowfrequency code from an active Noah node. It's housed in a deep facility it calls the tadpole pens. You may want a tadpole of your own to get down there. Maybe it can tell us what became of the colony and how to avoid the same fate.

Signal location uploaded to your PDA. H okay. Can I just mention I really like how they do that voice actor's real good on that. Okay, so tadpole pens. That's far away. It's probably in the hot area if I had to guess. Uh, you know, actually, I think I'm actually okay to go down there right now. I don't think I need to wait around. I don't think I need to wait around at all. It looks like it's in the direction of the hot areas, so that should pretty okay. I've already seen that. Shouldn't be too many surprises. I mean, there's probably going to be surprises. Uh, hopefully good ones.

It's probably not going to be very good. If this is the location where they all fled to in the previous message that I got from that base over Yonderway, then it could be good. I'm going to gather this poop. And I know that's a weird thing to say, but one of the next things I'm going to do is I'm going to be getting a uh a is getting a uh bioreactor. It's very important to me that I have that. I imagine in future updates there's going to be more like power based things that you can have in your base and I'm going to build it up eventually. I know I haven't gotten to all of them, but there's definitely a

few that need to be had still. Have I Wait. Oh, I probably didn't see this in the dark. Yeah, cuz I was here at night. Literally only at night. What is that? What is that sulfur? Okay. Empty hold. Is that what? Whoa. Hey. Go away. Hey. Whoa. Empty hold. Okay. There's got to be Can't be that empty. These things are never fully empty. Ow. Okay. There's a door there and a hole right there. Okay. All right. I'm going to go in here. Please don't destroy my thing.

Oh no. Oh, really? What if I blast it with the a blastulator? Really? Okay. I thought for sure that was going to be a way in, but no. Ow. Anything on the bottom? I think I see another hole. Ow. Oh, hey big guy. How's it going, pal? Ow. Okay. Can I please? I really like to Ow. Oh, man. I saw some kind. Yeah, that. Okay, let's try that. There's still those little guys, but there's no way that they're going to break apart my ship, right? Unless this is just a through and through hole. Uh oh. Okay. Well, that's something. I hear a blink. Aha. Go away.

Maybe uh with the repair thing, I can like the Really? Whoa. I think there's a big guy around here. Really wants me. All right, I'll come back to this later. I got another objective anyway. I don't want to be stuck around here again when it's dark cuz I really won't be able to see anything. Ooh. Okay, there's a lot more to the lava lands than I thought there was. I only explored the one plume. Didn't explore anything else. Going to hit this real quick before I go even further into the deep. I don't know about that one. Okay, this is the second half of power storage, so that's good. I can have batteries. Oh my god.

Stop. Please stop. Okay. All right, I get it. WHOA. AH, IT'S GOT ME. HEY. OW. Did you just I heard that crunch of my bones. I heard it. Why would you do that to me? Approaching derelict structure. Thank you. analysis detects a precipitous silence. Be alert for a sudden drop in the seafloor. A huh? A precipitous silence. I don't know if that means what you're thinking it means. I don't know what I think it means either. Okay, I'm going to check this first extremity here. Ow. Cuz it's been here a while cuz it's covered in

barnacles. And I'm going to repair that ship as soon as I get out of this spot. I hear something. I hear a bloning. Huh? Okay. Small crate unlocked. Okay, that's fun. Not incredibly useful, but that glass. Hey, go away. I already have the processor. Uh, security camera. No, I can't have that. Whoa. What is happening? Wall vent. Oh, I got a whole bunch of stuff from that one thing. I'm going to repair this real quick. All right. So, that was the extremity of God. I fine. I'm going to check this one, too. There it is. Oh, it must be the same thing as the other one. Just wanted me to have that.

We must voluntarily die. Oh, this is going to be a fun read. All right, I'm gonna put this right up against here so nothing else can get in while I hop in. Oh, never mind. I can't get in. Hang on. What if I point the tip up and then Yeah, that worked. I'm smart. Okay. All right. Hello. Half room. Oo, I like the sound of that. Okay, Danzo here. Nine survivors of Habitat with me. Tuba went back to habitat and a marrow breach took Ruby. I don't know if she'll be reprinted.

I've heard her die so many times, but this time she's got to be out there somewhere. She's got to. The tadpole pens control room is locked and all the tadpoles are gone. Sophie and Nahima took the last two. We're stuck. We voted 8 to1. We're going to go down into the hot caves. We all feel a pull there. We know it's a mazefield hallucination. Yes, Twinkle, we know. But hey, Anita said if we ask the world for help, maybe it'll answer. And it's not all crazy. There's a bio bed at the base camp. And Zip died at the bottom of that cave. She had a Curotai access key that could get us through this lock. If you find this, we headed due southwest to the hot caves.

Hang on, Ruby. Huh? The hot caves, you say? Ah, I see. All right. So, what's the deal with this? He doesn't like what I see, but I'm quiet. Yeah. Okay. That's That must have been what it was. He was talking about some kind of Whoa, that is a precipitous drop. Heat warning. Okay. Heat warning. Okay. Yeah. I got you. I'm heat adapted, but that was literally boiling hot 100°ree water Celsius. So, I need to get in there, which means I need to go to the hot caves due southwest. Well, southwest the hot caves. I'm guessing

they're hot if I just had to take a wild stab at it, but I'm not sure. No, that was new. Stop bumping me, guys. I'm having a moment of panic and existential dread. And the music has changed tone significantly. Is that the ass end of something or um there just some kind of other I just don't really want to go down that way first. Okay. No, that's just two asses of a whole ass. So good. Um I'll go this way. It really is different when you're exploring at night. But for some reason, I feel like this area is kind of designed to be explored at night because if I'm supposed to Ew.

What is that? Oh, it's gold. Is a conductive corrosion resistant for advanced electronics. Relevant motivational fact. The Mongolian free states took inspiration from ninja miners. Historical gold seekers whose green pans resembled cartoon turtles. Oh. Would you look at that? Okay. Or you think about that or whatever it was. Okay. There some kind of hot caves. Yeah, I got you. Whatever. To the southwest. I'm just going to keep trying to follow southwest cuz otherwise I don't really know where it wants me to go.

Ow. Is this No, this is just a big foot. Yes. A lot of these aren't exactly caves. Some are just tunnels. What in the what? What in the hell? What? Aliens? We talking aliens here? We talking aliens? We're We're talking aliens here, right? This alien stuff. Captain aliens. Ali. Aliens. Scale of the village, I guess. What in the hell? It's aliens, right? Right. This is aliens to a drum. How are they going to do a drum underwater? I guess probably this wasn't all meant to be underwater. It was probably meant to have some

structural integrity. Whoa. Hey. Whoa. I'll get you. You don't. Oh, I'll freaking get you, man. I'll freaking get you. Get rammed. Bonk. Whoa. Hey, big guy. All right, hold on. I want to go in the first one. I didn't go in it. Pioneers in a first contact scenario face two terrifying possibilities. That they are alone or that they are not. So, that's a very Is that supposed to be motivational? You said your other little bit of speech there was supposed to be like motivational anecdote kind of thing.

Oh, go away. Stop. Ram the hell out of you. Okay, so this must be the tadpole village that they were talking about. That one has an intact window. Is that scannable? No. Or maybe that's supposed to be like transmitted an alert. Okay. To the port at your convenience. The noetic advisor can wait. Oh. Oh, it's holes. Oh, there's holes. I don't like that there's holes in here. Okay, but this would be the tadpool. This would be the hot caves, I would think. Right. If I just went in a cave and it's hot, right? Oh, here we go.

Heat warning. Is that Can I not do it? Is that something I can't do? Can I do this? I'm doing it. This looks like the hot caves. Whoa. Whoa. That's crazy. Monitoring 10 colonist black boxes in the cave below. This is a high mortality work site. Well, it could be good. It probably not good, but it could be good. Okay. Well, I don't need oxygen. I don't know who'd be exploring this without one of these. Is someone that's in a rush to die in the burning caves of death. How do I get down? There seems to be a couple paths.

The hell is that? What? What is you? Are you a crab without a shell? Huh? It's like a coral crab but without the coral. Ah, okay. That just went in a circle. Okay, there's got to be a way to go down into the quote caves below. That's a butthole. Oh, this is weird. Probably just a path through. Oh, no. I can go down. Warning. Maximum damage. All damage imminent. What is that? Is that a body? Wait, hold on. Is it going to hurt me if I go deeper than this? That looks I'm Am I seeing or is that a body? The roots are like hard lines. I have to fix the

Oh, it's so warm. This is the place. We should live down here. I'll convince you all. Tuba, you want new flavors to cook? The jelly rings are full of sap. It tastes like fermented caramel. Dr. Woo, the vent organisms are primary producers. No light needed to grow them. Nutritionists sustain thyself. Sean, the rockar's fractures go down into volcanic bedrock. Don't you want to see how far? Eso, if you and your minions are so tough, you should try living in boiling water. Mantis, boss, you wanted a safer place to park the bio beds right here. And it's got free geothermal power. Sophie, you're afraid we'll provoke the tailings? Well, I've been visiting for weeks, and they'll never come down here.

They're afraid of it. Nahima. Oh, girl, you hate this place cuz it means you're wrong. This world is fit for humans. We can thrive here. Come down and see. I can hear the whole planet. Well, I don't want to go down there anymore. Your speech was not very convincing. Um, and I'm concerned. But it does seem like I can go down there. Need to replace my battery. And there's a water bottle, which, you know, that's refreshing. Definitely not boiling. Oh. Ah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What is this? Oh, hey, I can make a thermal plant. I don't want to, but I could, I guess.

Okay. Well, that's, you know, I'm going to get rid of the sulfur cuz I probably better than I can get the sulfur elsewhere. And an advanced wiring kit. Yes, please. Uh, I guess I'll No, I don't need two of those. I'll bring back some of the sulfur. Okay. Okay, let me get this real quick. The hea's wrong. We can flourish here. We just have to help. Who? Okay, I'm going to go explore one more little time as I go down here. Uh, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to go any further if there is further to go, which it doesn't look

like there is. It seems to just be a kind of I don't know spot. I don't know. Oh, hey. What are you doing here? Probably shouldn't be here. Yeah, that seems roughly it. So, I've gotten everything I need and I got an advanced wiring kit and I got the thermal plant. I'd say that's enough for one day. Noah wanted to say something to me. I don't know if I got the access codes I was looking for. And then again, I don't even know if this is the tadpole pens. Seems like something else actually. I don't know what, but it seems like something else. Anyway, I'm still at the very limit of my depth. If I'm going to

go any deeper, which always is a thing in this game, I'm probably going to need some kind of an upgrade. So, I need to find Well, I guess I can go straight up. Oh, very hot. Yep. Oh, yeah. Very hot. Oh, yeah. Not a scratch on it. Okay. This is a different way than I came in, but I'm willing to bet that there's multiple ways into the heat caves. Whoa. That's crazy. Cool. That's super cool. That's fun. Oh, that's fun. Ah, cool. All right. Goodbye. Okay, well that was a good diversion. There's so much more game here than when the when Subnotica 1 released. I'm glad of that. And I know it's still in early access and I just like I'm not 100% sure

how far the story would have left to go. I mean, if it's anything like the first one, there was a whole sea empress down below. There whole thing about curing the viral infection and there's a different viral infection here that they're talking about. So, I imagine there's going to be a lot of steps to identifying the local, you know, uh, intelligent life, you know, the ones that built like the big cannon at Subnotica one. So, it's about figuring all that stuff out. So, plenty to do. Um, I'm going to stop here. I'm going to drop my stuff off. I need to figure out some water. Repair this real quick. And then I connected.

I want to figure out what I'm going to need for the upgrade for this thing. Pof I forgot that was there. Zippora Zip Mal fell into a trance and drowned near a Titan rock boore. Zip was affected by Malfield syndrome causing delusion and narcosis. Other colonists in cave were also overcome. Blackbox contained high level of access codes to the tadpole pens. Recommend locating the tadpole pens and accessing the control room. Dedicated core. Okay. A discrete microprocessor to control complex electronic systems can sustain basic AI functions in the same way an iron lung can sustain a person.

I'll show you what an iron lung can sustain. One person for a little bit. Just a little bit. Real hit or miss. So, we have the scout ray chassis. We need plast steel and a dedicated core. I technically have that right now. What do I need for plast steel again? I don't know if I've actually ever made plastitium. Does that just load out of the rest of the base? Do I not need to put stuff in here? Because that'd be great. I actually do appreciate that. I think I need two of those. Okay, that's going to take a while. Um, and then I need a dedicated core, which I have an advanced wiring kit four, which needs gold, and so I could make more if I needed more.

Um, since that's going to take a bit, I'm going to go see what the AI wanted me to say and then come back. Uh, I don't even need I don't need to take this thing. I was going to swim it cuz I was like, I like swimming sometimes, but whatever. Don't matter. Oh, this black box contains a highle access key. Ah, all right. That's good. Also, I don't recall seeing 10 colonist black boxes in the cave below. I saw two. I don't know where the other ones were. Okay. I swear it said Noah wanted to talk to me. Maybe that was just a hallucination.

Aboard, captain. Definitely not a bad sign of things to come. Media chipped or shattered, recovering intact sectors. If we are not the last of humanity, then we have no reason to suffer on a hostile world. Our survival is not the last hope of the human species. If we are the last of humanity, then we do not deserve to survive. If the last and best we can offer the universe's gaggle of indentured servants ruled by a talking spreadsheet, better to end. We have never been worthy steward of any world. We failed Earth, so we fled to the stars. Now, like the architects before us, we reap the whirlwind. We had to invent the lie of mazefield syndrome. In order to pathize what our bodies already know is true, we do not belong in this

world. We are here and we deserve happiness. But the right way to seek happiness is to explore the wonders of Proteius and then find a place to donate our nutri our nutritious bodies. Maybe I need to make a Noah terminal. I bet you he'd like this spot. Seems like a nice spot, huh? Look at that. That's the same thing. This is the same thing. All right. Well, at least you get a better view of the ocean out here when I'm not here. Hey, keep an eye on uh this guy. All right, that was probably enough for that. So, now I should be able to build the upgrade, right? Yeah.

We wearing kit. Oh, I spent it to make the other thing. Advanced wiring kit, right? Don't know why I need both. Seems silly. There we go. Okay, let's do it. Construction area obstructed. Oh, is it? It's not an upgrade. It's just literally a different ship. Really? No. Construction? Huh? What do you mean? What are you talking about? What do you mean of what do you mean? What do you possibly mean?

try? Is this thing in the way? Try to deconstruct this maybe. Oh, I guess. Well, that was weird. Huh? Oh, are you done? Well, okay. Well, that Well, all right. I All right. Well, well, I Okay, so it is an upgrade. I just Oh, it got me. All right, cool. I guess I'll go build my dock back. Yeah. Okay. And then I dock. All right. So, I'm guessing this thing will make me go faster. Will it let me go any deeper? I should have looked when I got in it.

Not 250 still, but it's faster, right? Oh, it's nice. Oh. Ah. Is it? I can't tell. It doesn't feel a lot faster. Is it faster? Wait, let me detach. It seems m is it? Hang on. Do I have any data about this? Scout ray chest. Okay. Dock tadpole with scout ray hydroof foil. Undock tadpole to swap chazzies. Scout Ray Hoy provides temple command module with enhanced speed and agility recommended for exploitation high threat excursions in dangerous waters.

Does that mean I could go out? Never mind. Haha. I could go consult the big thing there. Probably not. I don't want to do that actually. And in fact, I don't I want to hear that drumming beat of danger. Was that not a drumming beat of danger? kind of felt like a drumming beat of danger. Anyway, I need to grab more uh I need to grab more batteries and then I need Wow, that's a You know what? I'm going to turn this off by deconstructing it. And then that'll Yeah, that's been consuming so much power. And I'm going to construct it and I'm not going to engage it because it's not doing anything. So, it should be able to work. Yeah. Two batteries, one power cell. Grab some water. Drink one of these right now. Put this glass away.

Grab some food. Make one more water before I go. So, I know it's night time and I don't usually like to go out at night, but hey, I've got to do. And I got this key, which means that I can explore. All right, I got the key. Can I get in? Key code accepted. Thank you. Whoa, my light does not How does my light do nothing in here? Wait a minute. Wait, my light is literally doing nothing. Whoa. Someone was harboring some dangerous things. I'm not sure if I need all this decorative nonsense. There is just How in the world? I already have a repair tool. I need to go get some breath. Can

I go get some breath? Okay. I was about to say if you wouldn't. Okay. Hold on. All right. Hold on. There. Some kind of like push as I go out there. I'm not sprinting. That's my sprint or whatever. All right. I can't see anything. Oh, there's air. And again, my light is literally not on. Hi. Are you supposed to meet me in the darkness? Is this kind of thematic? I see there's a ghost here in that bioit. What? This node is sustaining that ghost. It can't do anything else. You can't get them out of the bed. Understand? There's not enough to print.

What? But you can talk to the ghost if you want. All right. You're using the term ghost. All right. Is that the official term we're going with? Like it's a I'll speak to the ghost. You know, whole brain emulation. All righty. Wait a moment. Don't go. I just have to find my I've lost something. What is it? Uh, who are you? Sophie Bush. Who are you? I'm the ultimate colonist. Ah, I'm the qualifi I'm the This is where all of my puzzling of the QIS comes in. Oh, I'm the quaint instigator.

I'm the quack. I don't know. I'm the qualified investigator. So, Noah sent you. Noah's still online. That's good. There isn't much time. Have you met me already? Did I stop Mahima? I found that name on a bomb. No, I didn't. Uh, who? Mahima? My ecologist. She's cracked. We all crack here. But she cracked with her plan. She doesn't think we belong here. She's going to kill everyone. We have to stop her. God, what if we're the last ones? The last what? The last human in the universe. You remember? Don't you remember? No memory. Why do I keep hearing that? Where are we?

Can you explain? What's something going on outside? Something real weird going on inside. Can you explain who you are, Sergeant? They trusted me to keep them alive and I couldn't. This planet, it poisons you. People couldn't take it and was a riot. I knew Nahima planned it. I knew she had to be stopped. So, I followed her. But I left an image of myself in a bio bell to tell the others. Oh, God. Is that me? I'm Sophie's ghost. Maybe I'm dead. Maybe you're the last one. Maybe I am. I love this. I knew it was kind of hinting towards this, but there's very Soma vibes in all of this. Like when you're able to replicate a human, you

kind of run into all these questions of like, okay, what is this? What is this mind copy? And what does it mean to be that? If you have a copy of your mind and it's able to be loaded up into, you know, just a computer and then run a simulation of a mind, what does that even mean? It's kind of crazy. The last human anywhere. You were there when the kara came. The hives, the monsters, they sent in the frontiersmen. It was war. The children in my clinic would sing. When the vents start hissing, someone goes missing. Only soldiers come back when they die. Warning, low memory. Reducing vavarium resolution. We were losing. Altera sent out ships to make deep space colonies Mongolian style in case the Ka broke through the garden and ate everyone. We might be the last

survivors of the human race. And that's why Naima wants to kill us. Uhhuh. That seems wise. We woke up in sleep bas. No cicada. Nothing but ocean. We aren't on the stars are wrong. There were always rumors the bio beds were alien technology Altera found on Riley's world. What if the Cicada found another hint of those aliens and chased after it? Some things are more important to Altera than economy. Even the last colony, if that's what we are. There's a lot of They're They're all very sure that they're the last ones. That idea is going through. What are you trying to stop?

Go from killing you. You and everyone else. She's obsessed with the tree. You've seen it sitting out there like a gigantic virus injecting itself into the world. The tree takes control of all other life, forces it to serve. That's the maze field syndrome. A viral obsession with the tree and its organs. And the way Nahima serves it is by wiping us out. She's still out there trying to extrapate humanity from this world and the universe. I thought if we could just clear the bloom, the maze field would stop. But it was never the bloom. Mazefield comes from the tree. Okay,

I'm going to talk more about that later. Why does Nima want to destroy the con who thinks eels are more important than people? She's brilliant, but she's always been a pain in my warning. Low memory. Reducing effective range. She would tell you that her only future on Proteius is an endless cycle of digital reincarnation and dead slavery. So she'd rather have no future at all. I would tell you she's offer anti-depressants and rotten with Mazefield. See what do I have? Mazefield. Warning, critically low memory.

Uhoh. Vavarium reset imminent. Yes, of course. The call of the running tide is wild and clear and it may not be denied. I think the tree made the proto virus and proao virus is in everything. Every living cell. You're infected the moment you touch the water. You're going to hear voices calling you to the treere's roots. Eventually, you'll fall into a trance and drown. You'll be fertilizer. A quiet sleep and a sweet dream and the long trick's over. There's no human future here until we find a way to stop it. I love this. I mean, it's horrifying, but it's like, oh, this is deep.

I thought would stop if we cleared the bloom from the tree's roots, but Nahima said that was a 4546b mindset. She said the problem was much bigger than one viral syndrome. I think she was right. The problem is bigger, bigger than any living thing has any right to be. To end Mazefield, we have to destroy the tree. Updating primary objective. H. Can I do anything for you? No, I'm not even real. Just enough of my brain to predict what I'd say. That's what I'm missing. Everything. The whole rest of Sophie Bush. If you find her in me, tell her I did my best to be her.

I'm not going to last much longer. Tell me, what will you do? I would, but I have a different question. Are there aliens? Are there But the maze field destroyed them, too. That's what I believe. At least some of them survived. They guard the ruins to the east. We call the site Kakurum. Maybe you can learn something from them. Some trick or cure. What will you do? Okay. Ah, man. A lot of pressure here. They left a message in the carorum. Locked up inside this incredible tower. What to? I haven't seen a tower. What are you talking about? We could never got inside. Maybe their trick to survive. Um, I'm going to explore cuz I

don't think I can help you. And I don't know where the cicada would be. I mean, pieces of her everywhere. I think we all can understand where the cicada is. It's here, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, and here. Um, I'm going to explore. That seems so weak. I'm going to do whatever I want. Well, that's a dick move there. I'm going to find the cicada. I don't think that's hopeless. I'm going to help you also. That would be nice, but I don't think I'm going to work off my debt. Now, I'm going home. I'm explor.

Be careful. The tree will call to you. You can't hide forever. Oh. Uh, the Jubilee. What does that mean? What about the Jubilee group? Out of memory. Bavarium halted. Who am I? Fatal error. Out of memory. Bavarium halted. I have more questions. Fatal error. Out of memory. Bavarium halted. Goodbye, Soie. Fatal error. Out of memory. Bavarium halted. All right. Fine then. Okay. All right. Alien ruins. All right. Signal view and PDA. Oh, signal. Ah. Oh, I can turn these off. Oh, that'd be nice. Okay.

Well, I don't need the life pod because it's right next to my other base, so I don't need that. That base doesn't exist anymore. Tedpool, I don't need that. Scouty chassis. Don't need that. Alien ruins. That's what I need. Did I Wait. Wander and Ruby. Didn't I get those? Yeah, I got those. Didn't That's why they wouldn't be on my thing there. Okay. So, uh yeah. Sorry about you. Oh, what was someone doing here? Someone was blasting up with a lot of drugs. So, that was so much story all happening at once. And those ruins seem very far away. I'm not even sure where to begin

with discussing it, but the story is shaping up to be really interesting here. And I'm glad they're going with that because like the whole what is humanity question is so it's like it could probably be infinitely explored. I've seen this, haven't I? Yeah. It's there's there's so many ways that you can talk about that whole issue. Heat warning. Yes, heat warning. I know. And then this is just a precipitous drop. And there's something there. Heat warning. I think that might just be a turbine thing. Oh. Oh How could I miss this? Ah, I already have it. Damn it. All right.

Yeah. All right, man. Oh. Uh, what? Hey, wait a minute. Hey, what? Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. Where was my sho? Where? I know I was in there a long time, but come on. Wait, what? What do you mean? Wait, what? Huh? My tadpole. Oh, okay. All right. What? Why? Why is it there? What? Why is it? Oh, okay. Sure. Welcome aboard, Captain. Okay. God. Ow. Stop. I was in a panic there, but I'm fine. I don't think I can or should just start going in that direction and try to find alien ruins cuz it just seems like Oh, wait. No, I see something there. Okay, so there is

some I thought it was just going to be horrible emptiness, which it might still be. That's Oh, man. Okay, that's horrifying. All this is horrifying. I don't like that I can't see anything out there. I don't know if I should go out here. I don't like this. I hate it. I hate I It's fine. It's actually fine. What the hell? Okay. Uh, I guess it's fine. Detecting artificial towers in this region. Echo analysis shows extensive damage to all but one. H man, I got to scan this. Nope. No, I don't. Welcome aboard, captain. Okay. Extensive damage. I like the sound of that. That bodess goodly for me. Oh, what a gentle nudge. Oh. Oh, it's like I'm being heralded on a journey. Oh.

Huh. I don't think I should be on this journey. I don't think I should be on this journey at all. kind of a Wow. Yeah, this hypnotic and weird fish going on there. Okay. Kind of reverse sounds going on. Better drink some water. I'm feeling weird. Huh. Oh, there's a base there. Well, that's nice. Why am I Where are we Where are you taking me? It's like a completely different biome. I don't know if I want to go deeper. All right, I guess we're going deeper. Why do things sound so strange here? Oh, we're we've arrived.

It's like a completely different ocean here. I'll scan things later. Huh, that was interesting. That was very interesting. Look at you. Look at you, you weirdo. So cool. God, this is so cool. Okay, so there's some shimmering lights down below, but my signal says over there, but there was like this base that I or like a platform, not really a base. Fabricator systems and construction material. Adise construction of a regional base camp. Okay. No, I hear you. Is that an angel comb thing?

Like a baby angel comb? Seek caloric intake. All right. Yeah. Okay. Hold on. The stone beneath this mea has been eroded by hot radioactive water. Probable source. Titan rock bore. There may be an angel comb with useful adaptations nearby. Aha. Radioactive. Eh. Is this the angel comb with useful ads? Huh? Anita. Well, that's I don't like the way the voices are kind of sing screaming at me. I don't know if that's good. I eat this my three moon to tamaki. Okay. What? Any guesses to what armored pox means? What is that? Whoa.

Whoa. Is that like a jet going straight up? Whoa. What are you doing? The hell was that? Oh, that's alien. Ah, what the hell? Okay. Yeah. Okay, I get it. I'm out. Oh, wow. Wee. Okay, that goes up there. Oh, there. Okay, so I don't need to go to the other thing when the thing's right here. It said something about an a powered fabricator. So, this might have some power in it. I see a Noah. Ah, hello. Research outpost. Well, that's useful. High capacity air tank, captain. That sounds nice.

Some of this engine efficiency unlocked. Sorry, boss. What's going on? Wait. Well, Ruby, it's Bush. Are you with your tadpole? Right outside, boss. What's up? Go direct southeast from the research base about 500 meters until you find the cicada wreckage on the tall mea. Flash your lights and make some noise. Ram it if you have to. Copy. Steer southeast 500 me same depth. Can I ask why? Two bus singing and men just printed back here. They were testing the upgraded scanner when Axam tailings attacked them killed them and took ISO.

He's still alive. I've tracked his black box to the cicada rack nearby. Uh, copy. Can't we just wait for them to finish him off? He's got Nahima super scanner. She'll murder me if I lose it. Try to scare the tailings off. I'll get the team out there to recover his effects. Boss, I've picked up a couple tails. Looks like two adult needlers need to evade. Boss, our tadpole has our only death module. Oh, Christ. Come on, Ruby. PDA, log my conduct here for court. I have review.

Okay. Well, that's informative also. Hi, Noah. What are you doing here? Boot. This is as far as my pioneers got. They called this area the protected zone. There are references in the logs you may wish to investigate. A tadpole with a depth module went down southsoutheast bearing 165°. Debris from a Cicada lander module came down bearing 120°. A pair of smaller debris fragments splashed down at bearing 105.

There's a supply cache somewhere below this base. I'll begin searching for blackbox signals in the region. One more thing, this base has been visited several times within the past 10,000 hours. The visitors weren't human. Great. Good. Awesome. Why don't my lights work down here? Why are my lights not working down here? Is the ocean so deep that I couldn't possibly actually do anything? Okay, so the good thing is it gave me a little bit of a base even though my freaking lights don't work for some reason. Is a flare even work here? Okay, flare works for some reason. Just for some reason light doesn't. Oh, now light works.

What? All right. Anyway, I'm gonna end this one here because we are in a completely new area. It clearly wants me to checkpoint and just be like, "All right, you're starting from scratch again. Build back up." And I'll be like, "Okay." Cuz it's given me some things here. I just need to build a base adjacent to it. I wish I could disassemble these bases if I can't just use them. I don't see why I couldn't fix it up. Can't even move any of this stuff. Can't even deconstruct any of this stuff. Probably for the best. I don't think I should. But anyway, thank you everybody so much for watching. Let me know what you thought down in the comments below. And as always, I'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye.
