Return to Siebog

Return to Siebog
Aragorn Aquila, Mateus Walker and myself set off for second mission to Siebog. After a small gear up, some rope, diving suits, fishtank and pump, (thanks to Aragorn for the good negotiation skills) we started the journey.

The site was looking the same, not much had changed since we left the last time. One third of the ship was visible on top of the waterfall, the rest on the bottom. Everything covered in ice and snow.

We swung into the spaceship, because angle grinder didn't work on the harder than metal material the ship is made of. It looks a bit like glass, but is extremely hard.

After communicating with the... umm... Lillypad, we pumped it's liquid in the tank and moved the alien in our space ship. Lillypad was kindly cooperating with us.

Further excavation on the fallen part of the alien space ship under water.

We found complex vein kind of structure on the walls of the space ship. Veins are accompanied by holes in the wall. Pattern seems to run all over the ship. Aragorn, having more experience than me or Mateus, started poking the holes in the walls with his bare hands, being frostbitten by the icy cold water surrounding us. Apparently something happened inside his head while the poking, because he started to speak of colours he hasn't seen before.

The corridor we researched ended on smooth surface, we couldn't open. Looked like a wall, dead end. Mateus gave a try opening the possible door but didn't succeed.

We returned to our ship. Aragorn talked with his Lillypad. To our surprise the Lillypad healed Aragorns frostbite. (They are getting really fond of each other.)

We learned that once filled with blue liquid in the Lillypad's tank, at least doors can be operated on the alien ship. Maybe.

We returned to the shipwreck and managed to open the door with the blue liquid. Behind the door, was more of blue liquid, and the veinstructure worked without problems. The blue water was warmer than the black, so frostbite wasn't a risk anymore. We learned, the water on the river interferes with the blue and jamms the system, if overcomes the blue.

Mateus and I moved on, learning more about the ship. Aragorn stayed behind, learning the colour-language of the Lillypad alien species.

After exploring the ship, we found apparently a cargo bay or storage hall. Potentially spare parts and Lillypad's devices were organized in rows, strapped with vines. Mateus triggered one beam of some sort of communication device and made contact with other Lillypads. Contact should not bring any harm upon us. (It seems, like poking the holes in the ship works almost like a drug. Mateus is getting the hang of it as well.)

Finding the engine room was fascinating. Nothing I've ever seen before. I studied the engine as much as I could on our limited time.

We took the communication device with us among samples of the water and set off back to Radiance.
