The pyramid on the moon

[FatedTitan]

So there's a pyramid on the moon. This pyramid is what Richtofen finds and when he touches it it zaps him and teleports him to Shangri-la. Well here's my question. Griffin Station did not exist when he teleported. And even in the modern Moon base that we play on, you cannot breathe near the pyramid. So how did Richtofen not only surive but talk normally around the pyramid when he was first teleported there. Why did he not die due to lack of oxygen?

When he teleported to Moon, the pyramid was there because it was built by an ancient civilization called the Vril-Ya. It was inside of a building, the room was there all along. However, when he arrived there, as well as in all the radios and audio reels, there was oxygen in the room, allowing for them all to speak normally. It is unknown for sure how the oxygen escaped the room, or why it was done, if on purpose.

I was under the impression that he teleported from the moon (like how the Kino teleporter sends you 2 places) to Shangri La, then when he returned to Der Riese, he rallied a bunch of people to construct Griffin Station around the Pyramid, and they got underground with the excavators.

Probably wrong though.

He teleported first to the Moon on accident after ongoing pressure from Maxis that his tests were failures. Dr. Schuster teleported Richtofen from Der Riese, in hopes for Richtofen to reappear across the room or nearby in the facility. Instead, Richtofen is teleported to the cave system inside the Moon, directly in front of the Vril Pyramid. He then touched the pyramid, was shocked, and teleported to Shangri La soon after. 19 days later, he reappears at Griffin Station, grabs Schuster and 935 members, and starts construction of Griffin Station.

The oxygen was most likely there when he got there, presumably being provided by the pyramid itself or some other means. The cave was enclosed before Griffin Station was ever built, so the oxygen would never escape, thus allowing him to breathe and speak normally. The oxygen was most likely lost when they started construction on Griffin Station, or when the the pad above the pyramid was installed.

Yeah, he went to Moon by accident, and was teleported to Shangri-La, after that returning to Der Riese. He gathered scientists and for 2 years, worked in Griffin Station, creating the facility, as you said. But, we don't know how the oxygen escaped

[Tankeo Dempsaki]

I knew he teleported by accident. :x

No, really. The only actual opening it could escape from that I've seen is above the Pyramid on the teleporter. You know how you can jump down? That place is open for some reason (gameplay purposes?) and that's presumably how the oxygen is escaping.
