🛸 A day of photographing and rescuing invisible passengers
From the mothership, choose a destination such as corridor ROKA or an apartment and a time period. On arrival, move the viewpoint to inspect the surroundings for invisible-passenger clues. Look through the Cosmoscanner and photograph a likely moment. Shot capacity is limited, so aim deliberately instead of taking blind bursts.

Invisible passengers may reveal themselves through subtle changes in surrounding objects or situations. Unnatural movements or odd object behavior strongly suggest a nearby passenger. Scan every corner and focus on what feels wrong as the first step toward finding them.

Photography displays a frame whose aim moves across almost the whole screen. Align it with a suspected presence and keep the subject near the center to reduce misses. Use the broad field of view to check suspicious locations systematically.
