"The geoengineering project was meant to allow the ecosystem to be able to spread above ground. Think about it. This is a cheap moon that nobody really wants; it didn't even have an atmosphere when we arrived; but create a magnetic field, hold onto an atmosphere, warm the place up, there's already a ready-made ecosystem under the ground. Soon you have a flourishing moon orbiting a helium-rich gas giant right in the middle of one of the busiest supply routes in the region. That's a big payoff."

"If, of course, we weren't hit with all of these setbacks."

Mentions Vessbuk,

Passing out of the end of the tunnel, the drone enters a great pit, thirty metres across. About fourty metres up is the top of the pit, out of which can be seen an orange gas giant, shrouded by white mist; the bottom of the pit descends into obscurity, as the light level isn't very high around here.

The walls are irregular and there are a few other tunnels in the walls leading away from the pit.
