Bracket the Anomaly
There's a Scar-touched depression south of the outpost the Institute wants properly mapped before they commit budget to a research station. Four corners, one stake each, activate in sequence. The data feeds back to my ledger and I can finally close out a requisition that's been open eighteen months.
Messages when activated
- The stake drives in. Reading logged.
- The needle swings, then settles
- Coordinates captured. Three of four.
- Stake set. The depression hums faintly under your boots.
