False Grave (Plantagenet's Concealment)

A shallow depression in the Research Room's cracked earth, shaped to mimic a hastily dug grave with uneven edges. Rain from the colony's failing roof has slicked the surface, obscuring its contours to all but Brazen and Range. The deception rests on the absence of a corpse—only disturbed earth remains—exposing the colony's fabrication of Plantagenet's State funeral. Norna comments on the unseen face, while Turlough's observation about the Tractators' need for living flesh reveals the horror of this false memorial.
