EO's above-water installation, Station Alpha. Clean. Controlled. Watching. Its foundation rests on the same tidal pump relay the ruins depend on.
The Research Shelf. EO Station Alpha, the above-water installation: clean, controlled, watching. It holds the spring-tide projection, the relay maintenance specifications and a full topology survey of the ruins, and has shared none of them. What Station Alpha's own reports omit is that the station stands on infrastructure the tidal pump relay supports. If the relay fails badly rather than manageably, the station loses its foundation. The EO's leverage inverts the moment the ruins learn this. I am not the only analyst who has noticed.
