πŸ“– OVERVIEW

Bureau Field Telemetry Unit (Class T) is the working designation for a compact handheld instrument observed on a desk inside Argencorp's concealed NeXstep reactor control suite. Field descriptors compared its form factor to legacy science-fiction survey tools; internal shorthand: "tricorder-class." The same device class was found at Investigator 89's feet after the NeXstep Displacement Event, implying it either traveled with the team or was seeded at the arrival point.

βœ… KNOWN FACTS

CONFIRMED:
- Present in reactor control room prior to fail-safe breach and flash event.
- No Argencorp inventory sticker or export-control marking visible in field notes.
- Recovered in displacement environment by Investigator 89 β€” chain of custody not established.
- Manufacturer, power source, and RF signature: unlogged.
- No Bureau requisition record matches device class.

❓ OPEN QUESTIONS

UNRESOLVED:
- Argencorp prototype vs. foreign technology vs. anomalous construct
- Whether device initiated, stabilized, or merely recorded displacement
- Intended operator (K. Vance shell, Hale faction, or unknown third party)
- Safe-handling protocol if unit returns to Bureau custody

🧭 EVIDENCE TRAIL

Device noted during first entry to reactor control suite. Team contained during lockdown; reactor chamber opened. Post-flash recovery in non-local woodland. Device remains with field team pending recontact.

⚠️ BUREAU ADVISORY

⚠️ ARTIFACT HANDLING ⚠️

Assume active emission or tracking until proven otherwise. If recovered, route to sealed annex onlyβ€”no standard evidence locker. Do not power on without Faraday containment per Directive 12-C.
