Measure Seismic Data

Lore & Background

Crewmates are often assigned this duty during high-stress moments when other systems require attention. The console displays real-time data from sensors buried deep in the ice. By stabilizing these readings, the crew confirms that the planet is not experiencing dangerous seismic events that could compromise their mission objectives or life support systems.

In Their Own Story

Blue stood alone in Navigation, the cold seeping through the floor panels. The screen flickered with jagged green lines dancing wildly. They tapped rapidly, forcing the waves to settle into a calm rhythm. Outside the window, snow swirled violently against the glass. A shadow passed by the doorframe for a split second before vanishing. Blue didn't look up; they just finished the task and hoped their shift would end soon.

Reader's Guide

Approach the dedicated console located within the Navigation room on the Polus map. This terminal is essential for monitoring the icy planet's structural stability during your shift and requires focused attention from any crewmate assigned.

Observe the three vertical lines fluctuating across the digital screen in real-time. They represent seismic activity levels that must remain balanced to prevent geological disasters in the facility below from causing catastrophic damage.

When a line drifts too far left or right, tap it quickly on your device interface to reset its position. You must keep all indicators centered within the green safety zone before the allocated time runs out completely.

Once stabilized, the task completes successfully and updates the crew log for the cycle. Failure to react in time results in an alarm and requires restarting the calibration sequence for safety protocols immediately upon failure.

Did You Know?

• This task is exclusive to the Polus map and does not appear on The Skeld or Mira HQ.
• Impostors can fake this task instantly, allowing them to create alibis in Navigation without interacting with the console.
• The visual design of the seismograph lines mimics real-world earthquake monitoring equipment found in geological surveys.
