History

The research station was created during the era of Eridu's founding, when Joyous and "Sunbringer" were still active. The two Void Hunters worked together with Omond Flint and an unknown individual named Deryn Ata, establishing the station to monitor the Papago Hollow. Due to being created primarily out of porcelloy technology, the station causes Ether within the Hollow to bend around the station in a manner that resembles a bagel, which led to the operation being named Operation Bagel. It is also the place where the Labyrinth Carrot was created, which allowed Joyous to navigate Papago without the use of the Rosetta Data.

At some point in the past, the station, at the time manned by D. Ata and various Bangboo such as Collectie, Boojee and Boorave was cut off from the outside world. In order to preserve its integrity and everyone inside for as long as possible, the facility eventually dormant along with its mechanical inhabitants, some of who focused on scavenging parts from the outside Hollow. At some point before the lockdown, Boojee convinced everyone at the facility to abandon the use of Dennies as a currency in favour of Gear Coins, in order to have total control over the now limited economy of the station.

After many years, rumors began to circulate that the Labyrinth Carrot could be found within the Divine Maze, which prompted Shepherd to contact Phaethon, giving them a commission to find the carrot for an unspecified client.^[1] As they investigated the area and found a fragment of the carrot, which Eous then claimed, they were stopped by Nanson of HAND and Ray Yersin of the White Star Institute, who pressed them to hand it over, as they too were hoping to retrieve it. During the discussion, the group were attacked by an Ulidim which abducted Eous as they flew through a Fissure. The fissure brought the group to the station, where D. Ata promptly brought the group up to speed with the situation. Following this, Nanson was able to leave the Hollow, and worked to bring in outside help from HAND and the HIA.^[2]

As the group worked to find Eous and the Labyrinth Carrot, they also helped to restore the research station back to its original functions, discovering some formerlly sealed archives revealing some of the history about the location. After the carrot was retrieved, it fused in to the Central Hub of the station.
