 DreadVolt 

(Presumably DreadVolt has suitable life support equipment, or can simply survive in the environment he finds himself in)

Consciousness returns. You are on a long, flat, wide, white platform with an almost invisibly transparent barrier curving over it. Through the barrier can be seen an immense drop of hundreds of metres, down to an irregular surface of buildings, machinery, plants, water and mud, apparently living in tandem.There is green, purple, silver-blue and black vegetation; even the dirt and water varies considerably in colour. The surface is only a few hundred metres wide before it meets great white-and-silver walls, which stretch up to the level of the platform you are standing on. It turns out that the platform is more of a gantry, as, if you were to walk one way or another, you could access doorways in the walls.

Looking up, it can be seen that the surface curves up into a ring, with huge metal spokes connecting the ring to a central hub. The ring is rounded by bring green lights which flash intermittently. Looking to the right, out into space, you can see an icy moon, covered in thick white clouds and ice sheets; aurorae flash around the poles and, curiously, the equator.

Peeking out from behind the moon is a red and orange striped gas giant planet, which has a slight glow. There is no sun visible, apart from a thin band of white light being emitted from the central hub of the ring, illuminating the surface of the ring. Gravity is just over 1G.

A figure suddenly appears in front of you; behind the transparent barrier covering the walkway, it is hovering in the air. No! It is projected on the barrier, only appearing three dimensional.

The figure looks a bit like a cross between a dinosaur and a bird (it has a snout, rather than a beak), exactly as tall as you are, upright with a vertical (rather than horizontal) posture. It is also adorned in parts by feathers (especially the head and arms), the rest of the body being covered with what looks like scales. It's hard to tell if they are scales because the whole figure looks like it is made up of an extremely fine blue, glowing, wire mesh.

The figure speaks in CCL (Colonial Common Language; official language of the CIC) with a soft tone;

"Hello. I am Phelaholiim. You have not been identified. Please state your CIS number."
