The Communications Relay is an interior module that is constructed with the Habitat Builder. It can also be found when starting the game, on the back side of Lifepod 5. However, it needs to be fixed with the Repair Tool in order to function.

 * Second Officer Keen assuming command may be a reference to the DOS computer game series "Commander Keen".
 * The line: "CPU: This is an automated bounce back from the Aurora. Divers equipped with seaglide personal propulsion vehicles will be dispatched to your location. *Static* Estimated arrival time: 9...9...9...9...9 hours.", is a possible reference to Portal 2.
