Ether Scrap Retrieval Program

Objective: Secure valuable scrap items from planet, Investigate remains of the city.

Status: Reports indicate large amounts of scattered scraps within the housing located on Ether, located on a barren moon planet.

Terrain Analysis: Ether's abandoned cityscape is a maze of dilapidated skyscrapers and crumbling streets. Scan also indicate that collapsed buildings, overgrown vegetation, and unstable structures now define its landscape. Navigating Ether's terrain requires careful consideration and the constant awareness of potential hazards left in the wake of a sudden disappearance of a civilization.

Ether Housing Blueprints Analysis: Scans show one particular area on Ether housed a wealthy individual, creator of smart contracts on the planet. Housing Blueprints from Ethers database suggest large mansion like interiors.

Conclusion: Retrieving scraps while on the moon poses a multifaceted challenge, demanding meticulous planning and a highly skilled team. Success hinges on strategic navigation and proactive mitigation of UNKNOWN hazards.

Surrounding Environment:

• Unknown Large Entity's: Some form of large walking life forms seem to roam the desolate planet at night.

• Small Dog Like Entity's (Uncertain): Rare and uncertain reports suggest the occasional presence of friendly dogs may roam the street.

• The internal name is "Ether" (for modded interiors).
