Void Vessel Facility
The Void Vessel Facility is where the Drzyr conducted research on how to survive entry into Alepsis-Taura, including prototypes for the Axiom Dream Cells. These specialized stasis pods were designed to withstand Alepsis-Taura and showed promising test results but, alas, the Drzyr never had the opportunity to complete testing. One of their test subjects still wanders the facility, and he still possesses the powerful benefits that the dream cell bestowed on him.

Entering the Facility
You'll enter the facility from the surface and, as usual, pass a World Stone. Use it if you need, then continue into the facility. Very close to the World Stone is a large chamber. You can only see half of it thanks to a collapse that has blocked the far end, but what you can see tells you what you're going to deal with throughout the Void Vessel Facility. First are several Zombies. Dispatch them, then notice the large, cylindrical testing chamber that houses a single stasis pod. To its left is a control panel:
Use the control panel to open the stasis pod and be ready to fight because inside is a Zombie. As you progress through the dungeon, you'll want to check all of these that you find.
Head up the ramp to the right of the stasis pod and clear the enemies that you find up there. In the center of the chamber's upper deck, look to the right (with the ramp you came up behind you) to see a sealed door. If you peek inside through the glass, you'll see that this looks like a gear locker. Inside hangs one of the dungeon's rewards, the Space Worker Set:
You'll get the key to that door later, so work your way to the other side of the large chamber and down another ramp on the far side. At the bottom is another stasis pod testing chamber, but this one has been badly damaged. Kill the Zombies and Zombie Flyers, then look on the floor near the broken testing chamber to find a voice recorder:
Listen to the recording if you like, then continue on.
The Void Vessels
You'll fight your way through a series of passages and chambers which will eventually deposit you in a large room behind a line of three stasis pod testing chambers. If you walk around to the front of the chambers, you'll see this:
Several enemies lurk nearby, including a Lesser Abomination, so clear them out. Once it's safe, enter each testing chamber. Inside each one is a stasis pod with a control panel. Open all three, being wary of the Zombie that lives (sort of) inside each one. Two of these contain items that you'll want. Once contains another of the dungeon's rewards, the Tightly Wound Coil. Another contains the Stasis Pod Glyph, which is the key to the sealed gear locker door you passed earlier:
Collect the loot, then head up the ramp in front of the three testing chambers. Look left at the top and use the control panel you find to open the large airlock door nearby:
Opening the large airlock door creates a handy shortcut back to the first large chamber hear the entrance, but don't go through the airlock door yet. Instead, look across this chamber with the airlock door at your back. You should see three stasis pods in a row, but these aren't installed in testing chambers. These are the Axiom Dream Cell prototypes:
Inside each is a Zombie, so use caution when opening them. When the area is clear, approach one of the Axiom Dream Cells and interact with it to climb inside. The door closes, and you see a rather creepy scene through the glass:
Fetid Corpse
When the short cut scene of the Aberration approaching you as you are inside the Axiom Dream Cell, you awaken in a pile of black goo. Move forward to stand up and begin a fight against the Fetid Corpse Aberration.
Fetid Corpse is a powerful Zombie, once an Axiom Dream Cell test subject but now doomed to the same unlife as so many Drzyr. Now, he awaits any who follow him into the dream. A steady stream of Zombies and Zombie Flyers fight alongside Fetid Corpse.
Defeating Fetid Corpse earns you, along with the usual drops, the Transference mutator, and a "Quest Complete." Pick up what you will and exit the chamber. Follow the ramp up to a sealed door, which opens automatically to deposit you in front of a ramp that leads up to the deck between the Axiom Dream Cells and the large airlock door.
Head right and walk through the large airlock door, and head for that sealed door at the gear locker:
Use the Stasis Pod Glyph to open the door. Inside, hanging in a locker on left side of the back wall, is the Space Worker Set:
Once you have your new armor set, head back to the entrance and continue your adventures on N'Erud.
