In this part of the video, the player wakes up on an abandoned ship equipped with propaganda posters, warning labels, and a terminal. The terminal provides information about the moon’s creatures, items, and the overseeing company. The player, with no memory of how they arrived, must collect scrap on different moons. Orbiting a desert moon named Insurance, the player explores a seemingly deserted factory with signs of recent construction and large distant buildings.
A tape recorder with a pilot’s log is found, recounting a crew member’s light-hearted observations. Continuing their mission, the player finds blood stains, landmines, and sentry turrets in the facility while collecting various scrap items for company credits. The landmines and turrets protect against monsters of varying danger levels.
One key item, the apparatus, when disconnected, cuts all power from the facility and can be sold for a significant sum. Upon returning to the ship with collected scrap, tentacles take the items and provide company credits in exchange. The credits can be used for upgrades and purchases.
Further explorations reveal another pilot’s log about mysterious voices behind walls, leading the player to a planet called March, offering more valuable scrap, deadlier traps, and dangerous monsters. A subsequent pilot’s log intriguingly hints at a planet made of gold and living with the monsters.

In this part of the video, Sigur encounters various mysterious occurrences and growing suspicions while working on the moon’s facilities. Initially, Sigur hears voices behind a wall through his walkie-talkie, but his crew dismisses his concerns as childish. He reports hearing strange chatter about a “golden planet” and large creatures, but remains ignored by his peers. Over time, Sigur becomes increasingly frustrated and starts losing sleep. He questions inconsistencies in their mission, such as high pay and the ship being on autopilot. Another critical event occurs when Richard goes missing after investigating a room, leading Sigur to witness a dark creature. Despite his crew’s reluctance, Sigur reports Richard’s disappearance to the company, which dismisses the issue and promises a replacement.
