No Man’s Sky likes to introduce novel mechanics through easily-overlooked side quests. Your quest journal is constantly overloaded with bounty missions, crafting objectives and random tasks, making it easy to ignore some incredible stories.

After reaching the pioneer milestone (warping 40 times), my ship intercepted a signal - a transmission of voices drowned out by rushing water. Note that there is no voice acting in No Man’s Sky, so this information is only given as flavour text, leaving the sounds up to your imagination.
I followed the signal to an aquatic planet - this provided my first challenge. I haven’t researched the aquatic landing upgrade for my starship, forcing me to find tiny islands to land.
The quest has you pilot the Nautilon around your planet’s underwater landscape, constructing a scanner to retrace the steps of a long-lost crew. All that remains of them are their submerged, ruined bases, guarded by abyssal horrors.
You find terminals that tell the survivors’ story - they were stranded with no working starship, on a planet that was rapidly flooding. The crew were plagued by nightmares and drawn towards a mysterious cave. No bodies are found, no survivors, no true resolution.
