Apgar Lambda Field Generator Site (Planet Surface)

A remote stretch of the planet's surface centering on the ruined research emplacement that housed Dr. Apgar's Lambda Field generator. Scorched soil and twisted instrument frames ring a collapsed lab module; stray cables and shattered diagnostic arrays hum faintly with residual Lambda energy. The site radiates a cyclical, five‑hour, twenty‑minute, three‑second cadence—an unnerving mechanical heartbeat that links the landscape to distant station fatalities. Scientists arrive with data pads and grief, while investigators feel vindication and dread as the barren ground reads like a forensic clock, translating abstract theory into lethal consequence.
