Deep Shaft 8

Deep Shaft 8 is an extensive mine beneath the surface of an alien world. The existence of native wildlife was unknown to the miners until a collapse allowed the creatures access, although it is possible the company knew about it prior to the event.

When Darwin awakens after the collapse, he attempts to reach an elevator to the surface, encountering Annalee and McPhereson on his journey.

Another excavation site, Cleft 18, has its own problems.
