The 10:54 Convergence

This is not a random time. It is a predictable cosmic alignment where our solar system passes through a dense stream of exotic particles. The Celestial Orrery is designed to filter the noise from this stream, allowing us to capture a coherent signal for a brief, invaluable window.

Signal Attenuation

The captured signal is ancient, having traveled for eons. It is incredibly faint. The Orrery's primary function is to amplify this signal without corrupting it. The countdown indicates the precise moment of peak signal clarity, before atmospheric and solar interference degrades the data.

The Observer Protocol

Your role as the Observer is critical. The signal contains vast amounts of raw data, but it is the consciousness of the Observer that acts as the final 'lens', collapsing the quantum possibilities into a single, observable outcome. Your focus is part of the instrument.

Note on Phase-Lock Coils

The coils hum at a specific frequency to 'lock' our local reality in phase with the incoming signal stream. A desynchronization event is unlikely, but should you experience the sudden taste of pennies or see colors you can't name, please remain calm. The system will auto-reboot. Probably.
