Outpost Sierra Six

A remote Neutral Zone sensor outpost broadcasting terse, clinical telemetry across long-range channels. Windless void and engineered metal mark its presence: low-profile antennae and armored sensor domes, blinking status lights, and encrypted uplinks that spit precise contact data. From the Enterprise bridge its voice arrives as a single confirming ping—objective, detached, and decisive—translating distant motion into tactical certainty. The outpost functions as a cold-eyed sentinel whose confirmation forces command-level choices between protocol and humanitarian impulse.
