CNS Siduron 09:05:31.375 Comms/Alyssa      > Well, there are a lot of them! You could get a whole new camera system, for example. A mass spectrometer to analyze atmospheric or sample content. Magnetometers to feel the magnetic fields of planets. You already have electromagnetic sensors but they aren't hooked into your sensory input. There's so much more, I can't wait to try them all out. :)

The river and path ends at a crescent-shaped pond with bright orange fish-like creatures swimming in it. On a bed of cyan moss in the middle of this crescent, with a beam of light illuminating it like a spotlight, is a device resembling the server rack, with a levitating spring green Affini core inside a golden metallic housing. The spring green vines coming from the core are dipped into the pond. Some yellow vines end in various silver cable plugs, neatly wound on the side of the device.
