Description
Our follow-on studies at … have proven disappointing. It is possible the monitoring station has been knocked off its original alignment, for we can find nothing of interest beneath its current orbit. We simulated possible movements based on orbital impacts - dents upon the device's hull - and subsequently believe this station may originally have been poised over a cratered plateau far to the north.
As for the monitoring station itself: we have not encountered designs like this before. Although the hardware on board is as outdated as it is broken, the station superstructure is formed of unusually pure materials. We cannot know if the station has any sentimental worth, but there is definitely scrap value to be had here.
