Descent into darkness. Literally in this case. | |

Ever wanted to explore the vast caves beneath the station but found all the minisubs taken? Ever wanted to haul your trench treasures back onto to the station but lost your minisub?
The Sea Elevator is there for you. It's a sparsely-decorated T-shaped room a bit right of the Bar, linked to the rest of the station by a small hallway branching from the maintenance area right of the Arcade and Barbershop. As a corridor between the main station and its outpost in northern parts of the trench caves, it grants crew members of all stations and ranks access to the trench, regardless of minisub availability.
The elevator itself is pretty simple. If you're a regular Biodome raider, you'll find it eerily familiar. If not, don't fret, for you'll find it intuitive enough. If the elevator's on your level, simply stand on the catwalk platform, click on the elevator console, and call the elevator upwards/down. If not, simply stand out of way of the platform first, then access the console. That's all. No arbitrary weight limits, no agonizingly long wait, no pseudo-music to "entertain" you during the ride, just a plain, simple lift.
On the way down, prepare for a descent into darkness. No, really. There's a reason there's huge crate of glowsticks at the bottom. It's pitch black in the waypoint station since there's basically no lighting, and the caves are only slightly brighter. And, for obvious reasons, we hope you've brought your own diving suit and oxygen tank, because there aren't any at the bottom.
It's also a good idea to take that power pick. Though the outpost in the Trench is always there, it's randomly placed in a different spot each round, so you might find yourself staring at an asteroid wall when you walk out the airlock.
Maintenance Information
There is no vent. Hopefully it should be obvious why.
The APC for the Sea Elevator is in the elevator room, right near the airlocks.
This room gets its power from a reinforced wire line that has an peculiar path. It runs through the maintenance area right of the Arcade and Barbershop, makes a 90 degree turn eastward, does a brief swim outside through the ocean, goes under a wall, and finally ends under the floor of the room with the Sea Elevator APC.

The Sea Elevator Room is where crew members can travel down to the station's miniature outpost in the Trench and see what lurks in the caverns beneath their feet. It's located in the northwestern part of the station, west of Arrivals/Cryogenic Crew Storage. This room is most useful to Miners, who mine ore in the Trench, but anybody can access this room, and it's not exactly hidden away.
Operating the elevator is simple. Just stand on the four tiles with yellow-and-black hazard stripes (that's the platform), click on the elevator computer, confirm that you want to go down, and wait. On the way down, prepare for a descent into darkness. Seriously. The outpost on the bottom end of the elevator is quite dark, and the Trench is only somewhat brighter.
The Trench can easily kill you if you're not prepared, so you better bring supplies. Luckily, the racks in the top left corner of the room contain a few basic amenities. One rack contains two flippers for faster movement underwater. The other contains a full set of diving gear, consisting of a civilian diving helmet, a civilian diving suit, breath mask, and air mix tank. If your O2 runs too low, you can always refill it at the oxygen vending machine in the bottom left...if you can cough up the cash to cover your breathing expenses.
This area also contains a set of airlocks leading to the ocean floor outside the station, allowing crew to explore the surrounding area. Since a room like this presents a juicy target to aspiring saboteurs, the windows are made of plasmaglass, an extra strong transparent material, the walls are reinforced, and the floors contain grates to soak up any ocean water that leaks into the station. If you see any sea water seep in, you can scream and panic about it into the intercom, tuned to the general station frequency.
Maintenance Information
There is no vent. The air doesn't want to go down to the depths with you.
The APC is in the bottom left corner of the room where the actual elevator is located. It's actually right next to the fire alarm, which probably violates more than a few safety violations.
The power for this room comes from a wire that goes under the east entrance. Part of the wire is under reinforced floor.
