Sabotaged Motive System (Sandminer)

The motive system aboard the Sandminer vessel, installed in Uvanov's cabin, reveals deliberate sabotage. Propulsion units exhibit critical jams and seized mechanisms—damage inconsistent with normal mechanical failure—and circuitry glows warningly under tampering. Exposed components show orchestrated manipulation of the Sandminer’s propulsion systems by unknown assailants, witnessed by Poul and Toos during their inspection. The sabotage manifests as erratic overloading and overheating of motive units, causing unstable thrust, cracked control panels, and fractured red emergency lighting across the control deck.
