Communications Post

There is at least one mirror inside of this area capable of communication with the settlement. However, the mirror is in disrepair and needs to be fixed before it can be used.

This is the outer area of the Communications Post itself.

Background

The Comm Post was built by the Entity as part of its plan to communicate with the outside world. The Entity waited thousands of years for someone to reactivate the central hub at the academy, which would allow the Entity to communicate with whoever was there. The Entity spent much of its time refining the technology that powers the Comm Post. When the PC finally activated the central hub, the Entity was ready.

The area surrounding the Comm Post has far more giant crystals than most other areas. This made it an ideal location for the Entity to build the Comm Post. The Entity attached two crystal mods to each giant crystal – a communications mod for transmitting and receiving visual and auditory information and an amplifier mod to boost the signals sufficiently to cross dimensions. Amplifier mods are not uncommon in the mirror world. In fact, the Seekers regularly produce them, and the Lost Souls have scavenged a large supply of them. The communications mod, however, is a unique invention of the Entity. The Seekers never thought of inventing this kind of mod because they figured that no one would ever reactivate the central hub. They were wrong.

When the Entity left for the “real” world, the Rended Souls lost no time in claiming the area surrounding the Comm Post as their own. Fearing that the mods attached to the crystals might be inimical to them somehow, they destroyed nearly all of them. When it became obvious to them that the mods were completely harmless, only one was left intact. The Rended Souls transferred it to their home territory, where it occupies a prominent but well guarded place. The Rended Souls revere it as a symbol of the Entity, whom they fear above all.
