    The authors construct four different finite geometries \(E_1,\dots,E_4\) all of which having a \(c\)-extension of the \(F_4(2)\)-diagram as their associated diagram. The results are based on previous work of the authors together with \textit{S. V. Shpectorov} [Invent. Math. 144, 399-433 (2001; Zbl 0990.20007)], where the aforementioned geometries have already been introduced. In this paper, the suborbit diagrams of the collinearity graphs of \(E_i\) with respect to the action of their automorphism group \(\Gamma_i\) are calculated and some subgeometries induced by the fixed elements of certain subgroups of order 3 and 7 of \(\Gamma_i\) are described.
