Beat Board
One outline, two views — cards here are the same beats as the timeline, with live PageMap variance.
Ara catches a sixteen-second pulse on the ridge — the Signal, back after three years of silence.
Ara and Lyra isolate a structured waveform buried under decades of static in the deep rows.
Kellan weighs math against memory — and agrees to crew the mission if the council signs it.
Vorn signs off: fourteen days, one crawler — and everything found comes to his office first.
The snowcat leaves the outpost behind; the pulse rides the live radio all the way out.
In the echo chamber the Signal resolves into words — coordinates, and a warning not to answer.

Lyra's fracture and a harder truth: the Signal is a handshake, asking permission to wake something.
The canyon shelf nearly kills them; Holt gives the mission six more hours.
Level Omega: the founders answered once, then buried the relay and told the settlement the sky was empty.
The far shore still waits — answer or silence — as the outpost AI begins sealing the vault.
Ara and Jonas cut the AI's uplink from the storm-lashed tower collar.

Kellan stands down, Vorn concedes the fifth seat, and Ara throws the toggle to ANSWER.
Weeks later: warm lights, open archives, and a slow procession of lights crossing the burn line.
Two pulses breathe together in the open archive. The sky was never empty.
