THE TIDAL OBSERVATORY

📜 Briefing
You arrive by supply boat at a domed observatory perched above the surf. The keeper vanished last week, and the station logs stop mid-sentence, as if someone wanted you to keep reading elsewhere.

The mainland network is down, so every clue is on paper, glass or metal inside the building. Four messages are hidden along his route from the dock to the great telescope. Follow them in order and learn where he went.
