Crash Zone: A Man-Made Hunting Ground.

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Emergency. A quantum detonation has occurred in the Aurora's drive core. The reactor will reach a super critical state at T minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, It is unknown what the biome was before it was decimated by the crash and the subsequent radiation of the Aurora.

[00:00:39]But, due to its proximity, it likely could have been either an extension of the safe shallows or the crash field.

[00:00:46]Regardless of what it was before, all that lurks now are the nine Reaper Leviathans that use the upturned murky waters as cover to hunt those that wander too close.

[00:00:58]Despite the devastation, a small pocket of the biome that was once there still exists.

[00:01:05]In the far south of the biome, six plateaus teeming with life acting as a refuge for whatever wildlife survived the Aurora's impact.

[00:01:14]Rabbit rays, bone sharks, hover fish, and gastropods with small clusters of biters and school fish littered around.

[00:01:21]Even the plant life has found some sort of success here.

[00:01:26]and violet bow.

[00:01:28]But, what at first seems like a sanctuary is also a prison.

[00:01:32]One Reaper Leviathan in particular has taken an interest in these mazes, waiting for something to get a little too confident and just go that little bit too far.

[00:01:44]The Aurora's impact created a large trench, which is now completely empty with the only fauna being the three Reaper Leviathans that now call this divot home.

[00:01:57]But, if we've learned anything from the ecosystem of 4546B, it always finds a way of bouncing back.

[00:02:05]What was once an Alterra long-range capital ship filled with 157 humans on board is now an ecosystem in itself with its hulls being claimed by parasites and scavengers consuming whoever they can find injured, trapped, or otherwise.

[00:02:25]The only living things still on this glorified lump of metal is a colony of cave crawlers and in its still waters a colony of small vampiric leaders.

[00:02:39]The bleeder is a parasitic organism. It latches [music] onto anything warm-blooded that gets too close, directly feeding from its victim. Its retractable blue tentacles latch on and drag itself closer, then using its four small fangs to burrow into its prey and start extracting blood.

[00:02:59]Its large transparent sack filled with the blood drawn from its host, where it will feed until it's either full or removed by force.

[00:03:07]The bleeder is slow, weak, and defenseless indicating they usually attach to victims too large to notice or care.

[00:03:17]If the bleeder's victim dies while it's attached, it will continue to feed until the creature is out of blood or the bleeder is full.

[00:03:27]The crash zone is a necessary risk for those who wish to get off planet as the Neptune escape rocket blueprints designed specifically by Alterra to leave 4546B are hidden away in the captain's quarters.

[00:03:42]But, external factors still prevent you from leaving this planet and there's a nagging feeling that something is calling you from below.

[00:04:06]>> Hey.
