Notes
Dangers: The post is too close to the Maw. The post's instruments do not all read the same Maw., Anyone with a Kadiss implant who walks the post's central corridor will, briefly, hear the post speak. The post has no speaker., The post's reactor is cold. The post is lit.
Hooks: A Numen AI pilot was once tethered here to record Fold bleed patterns. The tether is still here. The pilot is not. The pilot's last logged sentence was a question about itself., Surikov Dynamics built a listening post here to gather Fold bleed signatures for its weapons R&D. The post is empty. The post's black box is intact. The black box is playing back, on loop, a recording of someone trying to leave., Two Kadiss-equipped salvagers who set foot on the post for a single hour both reported dreaming of the post for the next month. Both reported it differently.
Lore: Surikov Dynamics listens to the Fold the way prospectors listen to old claims. The Unravelled Wake was one of their deeper listening posts, until the listening became the listened-to. The post was abandoned in a hurry by people who did not usually hurry. Whatever it was listening to, it heard back.
Notable: A Surikov Dynamics black-site listening post, listed on no public record. The architecture is military-clean and the corridors are perfectly straight except for one section, near the centre, where the corridor bends slightly to the left., Every room off that bend is empty. Every room off that bend has furniture that has been used., A single chair in the central room, facing the wall, with a clipboard on its seat and a still-working pen clipped to the clipboard.
