[x] Direct - Go in and poke the source.
- [x] From the side with As. matter, so you can break contact at a moments notice, but cannot bring a weapons-grade charge down with you without shredding at least 60 units of As. Matter.
[x] Direct - Go in and poke the source.
- [x] From above with crystal, so you can blast it if necessary with spare power, but would have to destroy crystal to break contact.
[X] Very Careful - Peek at it via Farseer Crystal, no physical contact with the room yet.
-[X] Be prepared to break connection with the Farseer crystal the moment something seems to distort it.
-[X] And set up a quarantine for the information from the Farseer Crystal, with the ability to detect distortions to the physical substrate of the quarantine; only peek at the information once it's obvious the information itself doesn't distort what it has passed through or is stored in.
--[X] And even then, if you start having uncharacteristic thoughts, such as freeing what's down there or conquering the world, break connection and do as complete a self-checkup as you can manage.
[X] Extra thought; can the Alterans still drive to us with their vehicle? Or are the edges of the Base Crystals too high? If possibly blocked, insure there is a ramp around the perimeter made of whatever is cheapest and solid enough; fabricated dirt, Crystal, or whatever.
-[X] If we ruined their way into the well too, we should also make that slope a bit shallower.
