"Could you transplant me into a more biologically robust person?  In theory?"

"No, you're genetically incompatible, a brain transplant would not take."

"Aww."  Here's the cavern Isaac pointed at.

"And a soul transplant to one wouldn't work either.  Yet.  Maybe you can work on that if you feel strongly about it."

"Maybe I will!"

Into the cavern they go!

This one's bigger than the last and has a ton of person-made objects in it - lots of flags hung on the walls near the entrance, mostly different from each other but with some repeats; a few smallish statues of different people in different styles of clothing; several skeletons in various states of assembly and with accompanying displays of various elaborateness; some quilts in between the flags and in one case draped over a skeleton; lots of words and pictures carved into the stone directly.

"Ahhh cool first try!!  Second try.  - No, still first try really."

"Huh. I wonder why these colonization attempts failed. Did they just - not have an exit strategy -"

"That's not what these are!  It's just people visiting to leave stuff!"

"...including skeletons?"

"Some people have very good friends and families who will go to great lengths to bring their remains to the requested best place!"

"Well. Are these people's stars going to be ticked off if I inter them in a mausoleum to clear up the cave for settlement?"

"I think they chose this place specifically because they expected it would be the first one settled, and people who wanted something else out of being buried sixty million feet under picked sparser caves!  But they should still be visitable and visible and have their displays intact."

"I will probably delegate that beyond the construction of the mausoleum but I will keep it in mind." Anything else neat in here? Does it get real cold inside? How's the gas mix?

It gets a little cooler further in but there's no sharp drop like in the higher one.  Cam's instruments find the air a little weird, but in pretty much the same way that it was outside.  There are lots of objects among those set near the walls which are too small to be seen from the shuttle, some of which are presumably neat.

"I brought some stuff to leave here; I wonder if it'll be extra famous if it's the last before a city gets built!  . . . Or maybe it won't count because I didn't get all the way down here by myself."  Cough.  " - Or maybe my glider will become a historical site of its own!!"

"What did you plan on leaving?" Cam asks, fiddling with his scopes so he can see what kinds of stuff there is scattered around.

"I have a copy of my notes and records about how I identified all my lucky items and a miniature glider in a bottle and some personal ads and some of my blood and some streamers for the next person to drop off the side and a plank for the balcony."  He gestures at the motley beginnings of a platform foundation which hasn't yet reached the edge of the cave.  "Or, I had a plank; it's still in the real glider."

And Cam can spot:

• a low case with glass doors, half full of books and files
• detailing on the skeletons; one of them is held in position by thin wire wrapped around it until the bones themselves were covered nearly completely; one is carved and dyed with elaborate designs, held in place with stronger wire embedded at the joints; one has the skull sitting atop the rest in a neatly-stacked pile
• plaques next to each of those in different languages and materials, formatted like gravestones but with longer descriptions
• dolls and figurines and miscellaneous knickknacks
• legible Englatin wall carvings: 'Marcus Romano was here 704/5/07, age 25', 'Clara Romano was here 704/8/35, age 20', 'HI FELLOW ADVENTURERS - AND EASYGOERS OF THE DISTANT FUTURE', 'Yet Unconquered', 'below and above us; looking up, watching down'
• flowers: some dried and hanging upside-down between the flags; some potted, dead, and rotten; two potted and alive

"People go pretty hard on all this stuff, wow."

"If you're already going past the ends of the Earth of course you must want to show off."

"I guess so! There's probably comparable stuff where I'm from but it's not so all in once place, the world's in some ways bigger."

"Are you the sort of demon who would definitely know if there was such a place?  Most people don't know about this."

"I would expect to know but I guess I wouldn't be floored if there were in fact a moderately popular interment site on Titan that wasn't common knowledge where I'm from."

"What's Titan?"

"I was born on a sphere, not a cylinder. Titan's another sphere. There are many spheres."

"And people can just live in caves on the bottom halves because you can make things and so flying out to supply them is very cheap?  - Or do things grow there naturally.  . . . Or you can just make things there because you can make things, duh."
