The All-Range All-Purpose Science Suite (ARAPSS) has guided exploratory vessels throughout Sirius for centuries. The latest iteration, the Mark VIII, celebrates the 800th anniversary of the model with the most powerful and versatile toolset to date. Among the diverse array of software and hardware tailored specifically for deep space science missions, the Mark VIII has included a new addition to these missions: the "Augur" Active Probing Scanner. So named for its ability to scry and examine any object it comes across, the Augur has seen great success in analyzing a number of mysterious, formerly indecipherable discoveries. The Augur and its variants has become commonplace among Sirian and Gallic science ships and is commonly used to analyze Baxter anomalies and other oddities in the great black void. The device utilizes a charged tachyonic neutrino pulse to probe objects in a minimally invasive manner, though this is only possible through the use of disposable charges fired from an external launcher. As such, the Augur must use specialized batteries that are readily obtainable at most Sirian research stations.
