Sent to look for sabotage, the municipal survey finds something else: twenty years of repairs, pumps, reefs and connections the city never registered.

Original record and sources

This image is the supplied probe-002 development study. It illustrates the underwater survey without asserting a geometry or canonical-vehicle match. Public copy follows the supplied XPRIZE treatment.

Look beneath the city the model thinks it knows.

At the flood-gate maintenance berth, a crane lowers the vehicle below the water. A service frame, amber cylinder, central drum and ducted thrusters give the modeled machine its silhouette.

The later Ground Truth sequence asks a related question: can a probe recover evidence of the city’s improvised service layer before the surface window closes? This modeled drone is a development depiction, with its exact mapping to that later sequence still open.
