212 Carapace

212 Carapace

Captain's Log: #252.

Our long distance scanning device made note of the presence of large quantities of several precious metals on this planet.

However, our long distance scanners aren't equipped for analyzing biological material. It simply registers as another material.

But our deep surface scanners have uncovered something horrifying beneath the surface. Dr. Hartlan refuses to leave the ship.

In the vast expanse beneath the surface, our scanners detect primarily one thing: Bunker Spiders.

212 Carapace is a large, hollow and rocky moon, held together by rock formations, webbing, and a vast network of Bunker Spiders beneath the surface. Scans estimate approximately 68% of the moon beneath the surface is composed entirely of spiders. Previously a mining operation site for the Company, the mining operations began long before the sheer number of spiders were discovered. Attempts were made to jury-rig a military operation on the moon after their discovery, but it proved to be a losing battle. Dubbed the "Great Spider War" by some, they were ultimately forced to vacate the site.

(The Company Cruiser is recommended for the fire exits. The distance is rather long otherwise. Good luck, soldier.)

Fourth in a series of moons known as Nikki's Mysterious Moons! These moons will take on wacky and wild themes but attempt to still fit the lore and gameplay of vanilla moons.

I've spent way more time modding Lethal Company than I ever thought I would. If you'd like to donate to help me make more content like this, I have a Ko-Fi here: Ko-Fi link
