Twenty-six hours later, [[monitor]] [[04-343 Guilty Spark|343 Guilty Spark]] arrived at the crash site and noted the crew had not attempted to exit the vessel. He marked seventeen atmosphere leaks along the hull of the ship that had been caused prior to the crash. An analysis showed these gases to be similar to those that comprised Installation 04's atmosphere. Guilty Spark hoped to get answers from these lifeforms, since he had many questions.<ref name="terminal5"/> | ||

After the distress signal terminated, the monitor had a massive sarcophagus constructed around the remains of the vessel.<ref name="time"/> | ||
