Basic Scanner

A handheld device about the size of a large smartphone, with a cracked but functional display screen and several blinking status lights. The scanner emits a soft humming sound when active and projects a faint blue cone of light from its sensor array. Its metal casing shows signs of wear and field repairs, with exposed wiring held in place by synthetic tape. When scanning, the device displays simple readouts in ancient script, showing life signs as pulsing dots and material composition through color-coded bars. The scanner occasionally flickers and requires a firm tap to maintain stable readings.
