Pharos Project Staff — Organization

Description

A technical team operating under the Pharos Project, responsible for maintaining and operating complex equipment including the walkman stolen by the Master. The staff's activities center on system maintenance and operational support within a high-security research or environmental monitoring facility on Logopolis. Their hierarchical structure remains unclear in this context, though they provide critical technical assets to on-site operations and appear bound by institutional protocols despite the Master's unchecked actions.
