I have no idea how big this place is, or how many corridors and chambers this
dome has, but it seems pretty complex and expansive to me. According to the
literature, this was a natural cave system that survey satellites and drones
discovered while they were mapping the topography of the planet during this
project’s early days. Seeing the opportunity, they built one of the domes on
top of it. I saw the satellite view myself, and there aren’t any other domes
very close to the rocky formations to the northeast of Caverndome, which makes
me wonder whether the caves extend far beyond its borders, so they just
decided to cut it off, and call it good enough. It certainly is. You could
probably spend a whole standard lifetime here, and not see everything. The
prospectus hints at the possibility of there being secret passageways and
hidden chambers, and given the scope of the network, that’s probably true. I
wouldn’t know how to find or access one of them, though. It could be
mechanical or electronic, where a wall will part after inputting some kind of
code, or it’s a tight squeeze with a big payoff, or it’s just so hard to see
through an optical illusion. Some of the walls may straight up be holographic.
A lot of people were running their hands along them in case the apparent solid
surface gave way to empty space instead. We’re not allowed to bring in our own
surveying equipment, which makes sense, because unlocking all the secrets all
at once would go against the spirit of the dome. At its heart, this is an
ecological dome, which means there aren’t any planned activities. You’re only
supposed to come here if you wanna explore and see some cool caves. There is
opportunity for spelunking and cave diving, but through the lens of this goal
of exploration, not so you can test your mettle, bump your heart rate up, or
get your rocks off, so to speak. Don’t come here and be disruptive or
annoying. There’s literally a chamber that is specifically designated for
echoing. It’s called Olimpia Hall. I would have called it the Echo Chamber,
but maybe there’s some significance in the name that I am not cognizant of. If
you wanna do that, go there, don’t disturb or undermine other people’s
experiences because you were freakin’ born yesterday, and you’ve never heard
an echo before. Yeah, it’s cool because of how powerful Olimpia Hall’s echoes
are, but it doesn’t have the same effect elsewhere, so stop looking for
alternatives. Sorry, I’m complaining about other visitors, when I’m just here
to review the dome, but staffing is an issue. I guess it’s not their fault,
because like I said, the network is so deep and intricate that they can’t
station bots everywhere, but people are taking advantage of that freedom, and
it’s making it a frustrating experience, so maybe they can try to find a
solution? I dunno, I’ll shut up now.
