The Observatory Annex
Approved High Ridge, Meridian Range 1960s–Present Observatory / Archive
Canonical Description
A decommissioned 1960s mountain observatory converted into a clandestine archive. Concrete ribs, oxidized steel, wind-scoured windows, electrical hum and a circular control room under a cracked dome. Night scenes favor sodium work lights and moon spill. Persistent snow enters through a failed service door.
