 Darwol 

Your second scan reveals that the wall is fairly solid, probably compacted dirt, though it is covered in a soft residue. You hear a snort from next to you.

"You and your silly gadgets! Why not try just feeling it! I hope you pay me for this!"

 DreadVolt 

K'tek asks,

"What's an escape pod?"

Twon answers the second part of your question,

"The habitat has plenty of cargo spacecraft, but they'll all be occupied. K'tek and myself have transponders, so people know where we are."

She continues,

"It couldn't be bombs; the pockmarks correlate too closely to the size and velocity of the objects being fired by the megastructure on the other side of the gas giant, so they're probably just inert projectiles. Anyway, it still doesn't explain how they all ended up hitting the habitat at exactly the same time, in exactly the same place, when they were fired at different times, over many weeks (translated), in directions pointing all over the solar system!"

 Wanraknasdan 

"Oh, I get around a lot. I know all sorts of languages. Even ones that don't use speech!"

The Narrator suddenly looks distracted, then says,

"Transponders. There are people out in orbit. They're travelling away from the habitat pretty fast, probably been blown out."

The Narrator turns to you,

"Do you think we should, er, retrieve them? It might not be good to get tangled up with the CSF, but they could have some useful information on what's going on."

 Merstenbach 

"It will save you from having to listen to me explain to you what's going on for several hours! Everything you need to know is here. You're lucky, by the way. If you'd arrived just a few hours later, everyone here would be dead by now."
