Deep Storage

Prey guide · Retrieving the prototype key

Morgan Yu visits Deep Storage to download the arming key fabrication plan needed to activate the station's self-destruct mechanism. After retrieving the data, Dahl or an automated security response triggers an emergency purge sequence, locking the room and ejecting the data vault into space. You must survive the decompression sequence and either navigate the exterior of Talos I or use an airlock to return to the main station interior.
