Phoenix Logs/The Ark/The Cartographer

The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

The Cartographer is one of many identically named map facilities on the Ark,

updated in real time with the latest dynamic cartographic and diagnostic

information. This includes security measures activated on the Ark, any required

maintenance of the various Refugias, the structural integrity of the Ark's

superstructure and its artificial sun, and the status of the Halo array and any

new installations being forged in the Foundry.

In the wrong hands the Cartographer is an incredibly dangerous source of

information, so it is hidden deep in a remote wasteland, heavily guarded by

Sentinels and protected by huge defensive barriers. The Sentinels guarding the

Cartographer are much more likely to attack interlopers on sight rather than

wait for provocation and only someone with the appropriate command I

clearance can access the Cartographer without a fight.
