Mercury II

Mercury II was a human spacecraft that belonged to the Sol Trans-gov that crashed on Planet 4546B. Its wreckage is broken into three sections, with the largest of the three ending up on a downward slope bordering the Purple Vents, Lilypad Islands and Tree Spires, the second-largest in the Lilypad Islands, and the smallest at the edge of the Purple Vents over a crevasse.

A Laser Cutter is needed to explore most of the ship's areas, as well as Propulsion Cannon for an optional room in the two main segments.

When inside any of the wreckage, the speed of the player will be significantly decreased.

Story
According to the Favro boards, Mercury II is intended to be somewhere between 30 to 100 years old to support the immense amount of rusting and vegetation.

Located within the walls of all 3 segments are sealed cases that contain fragments to the Parallel Processing Unit. They require a Laser Cutter to gain access.

Various crew logs can be found with bits of the backstory.

Stern Wreck
The stern of Mercury II can be found at a depth of around 100m at the edge of the Purple Vents and Tree Spires, just east by southeast of the Delta Island. A Laser Cutter is needed to explore most of the rooms. Spinefish can be found here.

The player can find two Power Cells, three Batteries, two Disinfected Water and two Nutrient Blocks in supply crates scattered inside the wreckage.

Engine Room
In the engine room, a Parallel Processing Unit fragment can be found behind a panel on one of the engine sections. A Laser Cutter is needed in order to access the room, as well to extract the salvage itself.

Ship Crew Log 2 Room
A Reactor Rod inside a sealed supply crate can be found in a room blocked by debris that can be pulled away using the Propulsion Cannon. Alternately, you can go around the blocked door by going right and under the stairs to find a hole in the wall to access this room without requiring the Propulsion Cannon.

Bow Wreck
The bow of the ship can be found at a depth of around 250m in the Lilypad Islands, in an area surrounded by Squidsharks. Plenty of Red Feather Fish can be found inside, as well as Roots growing through parts of the wreck.

Five Reactor Rods can be found in sealed supply crates scattered throughout the wreck. One is close to a rusted Nuclear Reactor, a second is in a room blocked by debris that can be removed with a Propulsion Cannon. Three more are inside another open room with two rectangular exits and a hole at the floor leading to the crew quarters. The player can also find two Power Cells and a Battery inside supply crates scattered inside the ship.

Alien Containment Room
This room is entered by cutting through a sealed door in the hallway accessible through a hole in the top of the wreck. It has two further sealed doors leading to other areas, located close to an Alien Containment.

Bridge
The ship's bridge can be seen from the very front of the ship wreck outside, identified by a large window. It is accessed from the room with the Alien Containment. It has a Jukebox Disk in it as well as a Parallel Processing Unit fragment.

P.R.A.W.N. Bay
A large room housing 2 damaged P.R.A.W.N. suit s, accessed by cutting through the sealed door above the containment tank in the Alien Containment room, and the two large ports in the side of the room. Three Reactor Rods can be found in chests in this room. The main feature of this room is a hole in the floor which allows access to a small cave system underneath the wreck. Through this cave, the player can access the Crew Quarters though a hole in that room's floor.

Crew Quarters
This area can be accessed from the P.R.A.W.N. bay by swimming through the cave underneath the wreck. The area consists of the ship's cafeteria and a series of dormitories. One of the bunk beds in the dormitories contains a Reinforced Dive Suit.

In the cafeteria area you can find and scan the Water Filtration Machine, three supply crates each containing one Disinfected Water and one Nutrient Block, a pocket of breathable air at the top, and a ventilation pipe with a dead end in the cafeteria.

Detached Thruster
The smallest fragment is a detached thruster unit. It is located over a crevasse at the edge of Purple Vents and Lilypad Islands, 1000m southeast of the Lifepod at 150m depth. A couple of Cryptosuchus are found nearby, complicating any attempt at entry. The Deep Purple Vents are just below, with a tunnel leading straight to Crystal Caves.

The segment has just two rooms. The player can find a built Seatruck Afterburner Upgrade on the floor in the main room, plus a Reactor Rod inside a sealed crate and a Jukebox Disk on the floor. An alternative Parallel Processing Unit fragment can be scanned by cutting through a panel in the second room.
