It all started after an airlock firmware reset. Every door in the station wide open.
Ended up right on the AI sat. Shortly after, Edgar and Frank had the same idea and jumped through.
After a few attempts to slip everyone and drag them out with the fluid system, the AI decided to just get everyone through the teleport again. I saw the "Calibration complete" message and jumped in.
And I ended up in the Lavaland beach biome. At first I thought I was fucked, because I had heard most of the miners had died. The right airlocks were covered in rock and the left airlocks had a legion lurking about. Once it wandered off I hung by the opening trying to get anyone's attention.
I went a little bit further but the entire area was enclosed by lava.
Finally, Edgar, who had apparently become a miner, broke through the other side of the biome airlocks and I was rescued. I followed them around a bit but couldn't keep up and was eventually abandoned. Luckily they had turned on a lantern so I could at least see.
Despite having no GPS or protection from Lavaland threats, I made it back to mining, where I was brought back station-side.
And with that, Ian learned his lesson. He would never go wandering off into dangerous areas ever agai—
