Emergency Flare Signal

A bright luminescent signal emitted by the scanner to indicate an emergency condition. The flare emerges from the device’s display as a sudden, intense burst of light that the scanner detects but fails to transmit to the central computer, creating a critical communication breakdown in the team’s equipment.

Catastrophic tech failure escalates danger

The emergency flare signal—detected by the scanner—emanates luminescent light on its display but does not reach the central computer due to the scanner’s failure. Its purpose as an urgent warning is undermined by the malfunction, compounding the team’s uncertainty about the site’s stability.

Before: Stationary luminescent alert emitted by the scanner, indicating a lifeform detection or emergency condition.
After: Transmission to the central computer interrupted, rendering the flare signal ineffective as a warning mechanism.
