POINT NORE, KOXINGA. One of the few major sections of vegetative growth on the burnout eastern continent. Major animals are birds & flying reptiles. Except for the Hteryuops, small, beaked flightless onivorous bird, the dominant land fauna are insects & arthopods. |

On the western side of Koxinga, the eastern continent, lies the Nore Point Ancient Site. Lying 2 KM west of Nore Point pennisula & 1 KM down is the entry port of an ancient command center. The port is only accessable via 3 ancient commo devices salvaged from wrecks, one of which is installed in the Lepa, a mini-gravsub at the Mt. Erebus scout base. The other two are stored inside the same base under Companion's protection. The site's airlock lies under camoflauge in an reinforced undersea mountaintop. An adjustable airlock or a flexible docking tube will be needed to clamp onto the base airlock. Once opened, the airlock opens into a 4 KM passage 2M in diameter. At the end is another door for which the ancient commo device will be needed. Passing through this door will bring to inactive teleport portals(the portals once linked part of the long-vanished surface installation of the Ancients. |

The first room (2) is the living quarters. Everything, the furniture, kitchen, wardrobes are designed to recess into the floor or the walls. The the kitchen unit located under the central floor is a combined oven, pantry, & dining table, including collapsible benches. The six Droyne-sized beds have no bedding on them . There are no personal items. Room 3 seems to be used for storage. There 11 teleport portals stacked on a grav skid. There also are two exoskeletons which appear to be some kind of droyne-sized powersuits (treat as triple strength) which some sort of energy cutter/welder on the gaubntlet of the left arm. There are also 4 circular devices that look like Gravboards with 2 manipulative arms seamlessly attached to them. They are if the devices will work for anyone, cargo gravboards able to move up to 600 KPH with a maximum load of 200 Kilos. The third room is the command center with bank of computers forming a 'U' around a squarish control chair design for a droyne. The ceiling above the chair comes equipped with a headpiece that raises & lowers. This is the only evidence of a control system.One bank of the computer is shutdown which the others are operating with irregular pulsations. Often, the pulsations which rapidly increase, and then cease. On either side of the control room there two doors, leading to a large room in which the tops of control panels for great machines protrude. The two great units to the left of the control center, are how ever.
The site was meant to create a pocket universe to hide the inhabitants of this system from the Ancients War. Unfortunately, the continent & some of the installations were blasted & fused by enemy attack. The inoperative bank of equipment is the black globe generator system, whose external unit was vaporized, causing the generator to shutdown. The remaining system is the incomplete activated gravity shield. When working properly, the device will envelope the planet in a energy field protecting against harmful radiation, deadly space debris (missiles, asteroids, etc.-in fact Tortuga's moon was captured during its testing phase), & incidently, protect the planet & the system from detection. In its current state, it sends out narrow-field gravity waves either repulsing objects away the planet,; or drawing them crashing down to the surface. Thus the secret of many spaceships is revealed. If someone were to try the device & it would find the wearer acceptable & if the device didn't fry their brains if it did ( roll under INT , difficulty modifier of -4) they could order the machine to repair itself, shutdown, or self-destruct.
