The Carpathian Vault is now visible on clear evenings from the camp ridge — a dark shape in the mountain face. The crew sits quiet tonight. No transmissions. Even Aika has gone silent in the local channel. The cryo-pulse is strong now, stable. Someone is still in there.
Final ridge approach. The terrain hardened — compacted basalt under the permafrost layer. Komi picked up a faint cryo-pulse from the vault direction, closer than expected. Yui adjusted the bearing by 3 degrees east. If the signal holds, they may reach the outer marker by end of tomorrow.
Dust valley crossing. The air was thick with mineral particulate — everyone wore filters. No encounters, no signals, no anomalies. Miyu noted the strange silence: no birds, no insects, nothing but wind. The valley had been dead for at least a decade. Still, they moved faster here than anywhere else this week.
Slow day. The crew reached a sandstone overhang by dusk — good cover, hidden from the ridge watchers to the north. Hina collected three new plant samples from a patch of frost-fern she hadn't documented before. Rika kept the night-watch without incident.
Setting out from the Transylvanian foothills, the crew began the final approach to the Carpathian Vault. The morning sky was clear — the first truly cloudless dawn in weeks. Komi picked up a faint resonance on the deep-scan array. Aika marked it on the approach map but said nothing yet.
