Explorer Logs

On this quiet Thursday of Fall Break, the focus turns to the sky above the sanctuary. The Grand Mesa stands silhouetted against a brilliant, star-filled night. Inside the Civic Research Institute, a team of astronomers, newly assigned to the "Historical Study," are recalibrating their telescopes. They are no longer just looking at the present-day sky, but are now attempting to model the ancient celestial alignments described in Dr. Thorne's report. The discovery in the "Glowing Canyon" has turned their gaze backward in time, searching for a moment hundreds of years ago when the stars and planets aligned to power the mysterious device.
