The receiver station is an isolated station that stands outside the containment field around Sector 7. The maintenance worker reached it on foot during the Last Shift, sealed its access, and from then on entered the facility only by projection through Project T-Link.
It is a safe base. Assignments are chosen there, equipment is fitted there, and recovered evidence is filed in its archive. The station's receiver fully restores the suit.
The radio
Contacts are reached by radio from the station's assignment terminal. The transmissions carry two labels, CONTROL and RECORDS. They are role labels. Nothing in the record confirms who is speaking behind either.
Equipment
Equipment issued at the station is a set of sidegrades chosen before each deployment, each with a cost: a survey cell, for example, makes the lamp use a quarter less charge and recharge more slowly. Kits cannot be swapped once deployed.
Continuity codes
Records from other eras can be read into the station as continuity codes. A restored pump changes the route through the receiving hall. Ruth's recovered survey and a Wasteland stores ledger each open an investigation of their own. Importing a record never completes an investigation on its own.
