Decoded Fragment

The pebble kept the torn scrap pinned against the timber deck. Kneeling beside it, I brought a piece of clear broken plastic found lodged in the crate corner directly over the faded printing. Curved polycarbonate functions adequately as an improvised magnifier. Through the arc of the lens, the fractured diagram resolved into an urban transit route and an intake valve schematic. I marked the key intersection by scoring a faint hairline into the grain of the floorboard using the edge of my gauntlet fin. Tactical coordinates logged.
