We just got confirmation! [D] The Waverider protocol has been activated!" [G] Ah, great. The wait is over. [G] Now let's prepare DAVE and the equipment for the final stage of the project. [G] Did you save the latest data from the listening posts? [D] Of course, Ma'am. DAVE is already processing the parameters and adjustments [G] Good. This will be a giant leap for mankind. DAVE? [DAVE] I am already starting the routines, Doctor. [G] Time left? [DAVE] The event will take place in 22h and 25 minutes at about 16 00 local time <Internal Countdown synced> --- --- --- T minus 7h 25min Apollon Station Crew Quarters Commander Hendrick --- <sending wake up signal> [H] Ouch...my head. [H] Damn, I am late. Didn't I set this f...bell earlier as..ah..damn..snooze timer.... <loud rumbling noise> [H]..ah..who put that ...here..and what the...Ale..? <incoming message> <sender Alex Lamarr> [servo] You got a new message. Shall i play it? [H] (blurred voice from bathroom) ..f course..! [H] (munching) ..eh..hf to fo somethfhing fo fthe lab..? <incoming message> <sender Dr. Katelyn Greyson> [servo] You got a new assignement. Opening file. [H] Servo! Can you please check the message folder? [H] I am quite sure there were no assignments when I was checking the inbox before we went to bed! [servo] I am afraid I can not give an answer. No logs are available for the specified time. [H] Hm.. interesting. Seems that everyone is becoming crazy the closer we get to the leaving date. Even the station AIs.. [H] Servo, please lock down the cabin after I leave and make sure my properties are loaded to the transport shuttle. [servo] Of course. Goodbye and good luck riding the wave! [H] .. ?? --- --- T minus 7h 15min Apollon Station Lab A Commander Hendrick Dr. Greyson Dr. Dawson --- <Lab Access requested. Code Bravo> [G] There you are! What took you so long? [H] Hey Doc! Seems like the internal com has some issues..again. I did get your assignment note only a few minutes ago. Someone will have to look into this mess tomorrow whe.. [G] Sure, sure. Now - lets get started one something important. Timing is key. [G] The tech team has installed the new transceiver that will allow us to track a cosmologic event, which is happening only each dozen years. [G] We want to pick up that signal and investigate the results, so the fleet can probably make use of the data. [G] Let me quickly check the status. DAVE? [DAVE] Processing requests. < Code Access. Black > < Door opening > [D] Doc, the wave array is read...oh, hi Joe! Coming over to help us? [H] Seems so. Something you guys broke .. let me guess..maybe.. cake in the sequencer again? < two persons laugh > [D] Ok - cu later over at the Titan! < Door opening > < Lab Access module request. Code Black > [DAVE] Dr. Greyson? The data has been sent to your terminal. [G] Thanks DAVE. [G] Turns out, your access permission is required to complete the installation, Joe. And, while you're at it, lend these guys a hand as you know how to work on the system best. [G] Chief Kuehn is down in the engine section [H] Ok Doc, no worries. We'll get this transceiver online in a minute. --- --- T minus 3h 10min Apollon Station Engine Section Commander Hendrick Tech Chief Kuehn --- < loud voices > < metallic noises > [K] Joe, I told you several times that will not work this way! [H] Hey, we had to try it at least! It seems that this whole installation is flawed. This is like trying to put a B-connecor into an A-plug. DAVE, whose idea was this? [DAVE] ... [K] Greyson said, we have to install this.. and time is running out, she said. Whatever this means. Probably because our shift is over in 1 hour! < several persons laughing > [H] Ok, new idea. You will stay here on the console and I will go down to the Core and reboot that whole thing. If this does not work.. [K] It better should. Ok, I will tell Dawson to check the power level. --- --- T minus 2h 55min Apollon Station Core Compartment Commander Hendrick --- [H] (loud voice) Chief, I'll now restart the core. DAVE, please grant me access to the console. ..Access console opened ..Access granted Code Beta ..Restart process initiated ..Restart process aborted.

I quickly need to put a new module and restart. ..socket access ..new CPU module installed ..station core restared < energy spikes located! > < station alarm condition Red > [H] Ah...Chief? Seems my suit was hit. Com systems down. I have no access to DAVE as well. < biological noise > [H] Chief, this...what? I cannot hear you clearly! < small creatures detected > < pest control activated > [H] I'll come up. < Engine room door unlocked > --- --- T minus 1h 58min Apollon Station Level C Commander Hendrick --- [H] Chief? Where is everyone? Can anyone hear me? --- --- --- T minus 1h 45min Apollon Station Lab A Commander Hendrick Dr. Greyson Dr. Dawson --- < Lab Access requested > < Access denied > [H] Hey..what is wrong here? [H] Doc, I can see you through the window...this door is broken!

Help is underway. < internal defense system .. restarting > < evacuation protocol started > [H] What does this mean, DAVE? I am the security chief! [DAVE] Check the locker on your right. It holds a new type of energy-based survival multitool. [DAVE] Switch to DMG mode to use its beam for attack and defense. [H] Wait..what? [DAVE] Check your com please. We have some strange alerts piling up. This might be an attack or a terroristic action. [DAVE] Please head to the hangars and take one of the shuttles. The evacuation has already started. < internal defense system .. restart not possible > < command has been lost > < detecting alien code fragments in core > < isolation of code fragments not possible > < purge protocol started > < silent countdown started > [DAVE] Commander...please hurry up! --- --- T minus 30min Apollon Station Hangar Control Commander Hendrick --- < weapon fire > < weapon fire > [H] DAVE! This internal turret is firing at me! Is it not enough that all the other...aliens...creatures..that are suddenly all around in the station are after me?! [DAVE] Trying to find alternative route. [DAVE] I managed to overload a sub processor. You need to get up to the hangar control and shut it down. [H] Sounds like fun! < weapon fire > < biological noises > < weapon fire > < Access module M1 destroyed > [DAVE] Commander, we are about to loose the station to the intruders. [H] Genius. As if I would have not noticed that! That's why we brought all the staff to the shuttles, right? [H] Now I am sitting here as the only one that is cut off from the transport .. [DAVE] There is a scout ship docked on the hull outside the hangar B. [DAVE] You can use that .. in case you manage to get on the other side of the B hangar. < biological noises > < weapon fire > < Airduct sec 01 unlocked > [DAVE] Use the air duct on your right. [H] This reminds me of something .. [H] Ok, tell the transporter pilot to start. I will make it to hangar B. --- --- T minus 15min Apollon Station Hangar B Commander Hendrick --- < Scout ER1 access granted > < Engines powered > < Flight systems activated > [H] That cannot be true! What a piece of junk! [DAVE] But a fast ship. [DAVE] Commander, I am measuring increasing energy levels. The station is about to explode! [H] This is getting better and better.. < Navpoint set: MS Titan; Flight time: 12min > < station reactor failure > < ejecting data capsules .. failed > < distant explosions > < uploading data package > [DAVE] I am afraid my security protocols are failing. [DAVE] I am uploading a data package to your suit. Please handle with care. [DAVE] This is all I was able to grab from this .. desaster. [DAVE] Good luck, Commander. [H] Thanks DAVE. --- --- > End of logfile <
Side note: this chapter was a playable scenario in A9 ... might come back as a single scenario if I find the time.
Is there a way to get the prefab Apollon Station ? I want to use it in my 3rd Part of the Szenarion Lost Eden, that play in the Sol System after the UCH has leaving with the fleet.
Phew.. good question. I need to see if I can still find the prefab as the scenario has been abandoned quite a while ago. Maybe send me an email to [email protected]
