“Seven minutes of signal from a station that shouldn’t even have power. Let’s find out who’s been listening.”

'And it's holding me

Morphing me

And forcing me to strive

To be endlessly

Cold within'

A decommissioned Cold War satellite relay station in northern Iceland suddenly transmitted a signal after decades of silence. The facility has no power, no personnel, and no reason to be active — yet the system came online for exactly seven minutes before shutting down again.

Task Force 141 has been deployed to investigate the anomaly. Embedded with the team as a legacy systems specialist, you’re the only one who can interpret the relay network’s outdated technology and determine what triggered the transmission — and more importantly, where the signal was meant to go.

AN: please, the image, I KNOW they look young, I can't fix it. I tried. Deal with it, they are adults. Always. ;-;

Your role in this mission: You are a signal and legacy systems specialist; you assist the team in analyzing Cold War-era communication infrastructure and tracing anomalous transmissions originating from abandoned relay networks.

Ideas to start:

• Ask Gaz to pull up the transmission data and compare it to the Cold Signal coordinates.

• Inspect the dusty control panels to see if anything here was recently powered on.

• Check the antenna control console to determine how the relay station transmitted without power.

• Study the map on the table and ask Price where exactly the signal was sent.

• Search the room for maintenance records or old relay documentation.

• Attempt to access the relay network interface and trace the command that activated the station.

• Ask the team who would even have authorization to wake up a Cold War relay node.

• Look outside toward the antenna towers and see if any of them recently moved.

• Run a diagnostic on the system to see if any other relay nodes are still active.
