Notes
Dangers: The station's clocks are still running; they are, by the station's own count, four months behind the universe's., Crew quarters are empty - the bunks are made, the personal effects are laid out, the dishes are clean., The instrument core is intact and is, by all available measurement, still taking readings.
Hooks: The station's research logs from year three are missing entirely - the dates are in the index, the entries are not., A Drift salvage-bidder is offering forty thousand rekkies for the station's main instrument core, no questions, escrow on pickup., The station's final outbound message, repeated every six minutes for four months before it stopped, is: the readings are correct, do not adjust the clocks.
Lore: Voss Memorial Station was a Numen-funded research outpost, twenty-three crew, three years operational, six months of unbroken transmission, then nothing. The station's clocks are still running; they are, by the station's own count, four months behind the universe's. The crew quarters are empty - the bunks are made, the personal effects laid out, the dishes clean. The station's final outbound message - the readings are correct, do not adjust the clocks - was recorded, archived, and is still broadcasting on a tight-beam loop nobody has switched off. The research logs from year three are missing entirely; the dates are in the index, the entries are not. The instrument core is intact and is, by all available measurement, still taking readings - values that match the Fold's own clock-lag signature. A Drift salvage-bidder is offering forty thousand rekkies for the main instrument core, no questions, escrow on pickup.
Notable: The Final Message - the readings are correct, do not adjust the clocks - recorded, archived, still broadcasting on a tight-beam loop nobody has switched off., The Empty Bunks - twenty-two crew, all personal effects present, all quarters immaculate, no record of departure., The Instrument Core - intact, still taking readings, returning values that match the Fold's own clock-lag signature.
