 A giant tower that is an interstellar transmitter, which the Greys used to try to contact home after the connection to their world in the Skein collapsed.  A ship was sent before in response, but crashed (see hex map) and no further contact has been made. A giant tower that is an interstellar transmitter, which the Greys used to try to contact home after the connection to their world in the Skein collapsed.  A ship was sent before in response, but crashed (see hex map) and no further contact has been made.

 Much of Grey technology is built around crystals; this is where the crystals are grown.  You may find robots, constructs and crystal-eating monsters exist here. Much of Grey technology is built around crystals; this is where the crystals are grown.  You may find robots, constructs and crystal-eating monsters exist here.

 The central control nexus for The Onyx City.  Looks a bit like an air traffic control tower, may be the place to go and enable access for all those places you want to get into, but you need top-level clearance to get inside first. The central control nexus for The Onyx City.  Looks a bit like an air traffic control tower, may be the place to go and enable access for all those places you want to get into, but you need top-level clearance to get inside first.

 +=== The Somatic Adaptation Facility ===
 +A cluster of perfectly smooth, highly polished onyx structures, some resembling massive, upturned bowls, others sleek, elongated tubes. The air around them sometimes carries a faint, metallic scent. These were likely medical or biological facilities, where the Greys underwent physical modifications, healing processes, or perhaps adapted their forms for travel through the diverse environments encountered via The Skein.
 +
 +=== The Nexus Core ===
 +
 +A massive, dome-like structure of seamlessly fused black onyx, almost perfectly spherical, deeply embedded in the ground. Its surface is crisscrossed with thick, glowing (now dormant) conduits that lead into the earth and connect to other major buildings. This was likely the city’s primary energy generator or central power distribution hub, hinting at a vast, interconnected network that once hummed with life.
 +
 +
 +=== The Communal Habitation Sprawls ===
 +
 +Expansive, low-slung complexes of repetitive, modular onyx units, interconnected by smooth, enclosed walkways. Each unit is a featureless cube or rectangle, with internal configurations that suggest highly efficient, standardized living or communal spaces. The sheer scale implies a large former population, now eerily silent.
