Eris on Cardamine

[Emissary]

Doc woke up to the beeping sound of his datapad. An external connection communication request?! Could it be the emissary made to the station too? Accepting the transmission datapad screen flickered a few times. The image and voice came through.

Ah, a lost visitor. Well, you've made your way into the humble abode. That is good. But now you must continue further, your supplies will not last long. There might be complications along the way, so you'll need a bit of help there given your dire situation.

Before Doc could ask anything the connection was terminated by the other side. Few moments later he received a map of the Shrine, albeit incomplete. The place looked like a twisted insane maze with paths intersecting, deep chasms and absolutely no sense of where is up and down. The map conveniently had a marker showing Doc's current location and his destination, but the path ahead was difficult - several areas had danger markers, perhaps indicating hazards to avoid. Others had motion markers indicating some kind of gravitation currents in the tunnels below. Doc would have to plan carefully to reach the core of the structure. Is there someone alive at this station after all? A glimpse hope however had a setback when Doc saw the 'sent' date marker at the message: apparently it was made about twelve years ago.
