Mapping the First Sector

The auxiliary craft begins mapping Deep City’s first collapsed sector, challenging previous assumptions about its monumental structures.

The auxiliary craft of Expedition EX306pA-QW has begun the systematic survey of the first collapsed sector of Deep City.

The initial reconnaissance has focused on an area where several monumental structures remain partially collapsed while preserving an extraordinarily regular geometry.

The first three-dimensional reconstructions, however, force us to reconsider one of our earliest working hypotheses.

Until now, we interpreted the giant circular openings distributed across the inner faces of the four megablocks as possible docking facilities providing access to the city’s interior.

The geometric analysis of this first sector suggests another possibility.

Their orientation toward the immense central void, together with the absence of architectural features normally associated with docking operations, indicates that these structures may instead have been designed as monumental observation decks, allowing inhabitants to overlook the vast space separating the four blocks of Deep City.

If this hypothesis is confirmed during the survey of the remaining sectors, the city’s spatial organization will require a significant reinterpretation. The megablocks would no longer be understood solely as functional structures, but also as architectural spaces deliberately designed to frame and contemplate the immense central void—a feature whose symbolic and practical significance remains unknown.

The Ilghal fragments continue to reveal recurring architectural patterns, but they are still insufficient to determine the original purpose of these structures.

Every newly mapped sector answers one question… and raises several more.

The next phase of the expedition will extend the survey to the second collapsed sector in order to determine whether this new interpretation can be confirmed—or must be discarded.
