 Fishmeal 

The machine is slightly damaged but operable, and has a power supply from an unknown source. However, it seems pretty pointless to try and heat up the room if it has a gaping hole to a frozen outside.

Outside, you hear a quiet rumbling in the distance.

The four lead you down various corridors and down ramps, until you reach a rather industrial-looking cage lift. Xanez explains on the way,

"This moon is full of tunnels, which house a very basic ecosystem made up of life that is protected from the hostile environment on the surface. We don't know how long they've been there, but all sorts of people live down there..."

"They weren't part of the deal."

Vessbuk interrupts, before Xanez continues,

"...some are just on a short stay, others were born in the tunnels. The real problem is that their community is big enough to be eligible to form its own jury, which makes geoengineering a whole lot harder."

"Not that they particularly want to form a jury, that is."

Adds Vessbuk. They lead you into the lift.

 Wanraknasdan 

As you go along the tunnel, the environment quickly gets colder and colder; the air getting thinner. The snow also deepens and the groaning sound you heard before is getting louder. The tunnel also becomes narrower and more cramped as the snow compacts against the walls, but there is respite. You can see an end to the tunnel ahead, though there is apparently no sunlight.

Phelaholiim seems pleased.

"Finally! That means you're entitled to a denizen's CUFIA, but I'm afraid you're still technically an intruder, and I'm going to have to ask how and why you're here, as well as call assistance..."

The AI pauses.

"... the nice type of assistance."
