DRAY

Alsothe hauler; "a machine's eye" (the episode's own summary)

Tranquility Homestead's six-wheeled hauler with one round headlamp eye on a tall mast: it lights the greenhouse when Teo stamps Sheet 4, strips the bags from Noor's window after the VOID, then bends its mast and looks in at her through the cracked pane, and holds.

DRAY is the fleet's face, though it has none: one round lamp on a stalk. It is the robot that answers Teo's second stamp, and the one that comes closest to Noor when the fleet turns on her home. At 21:55 it looks in at a ten-year-old with her palm on the inner pane and does nothing; nobody knows what, if anything, it sees. When Rev B lands, it lowers its mast and its eye goes out.

IdeaFor our own reference: DRAY is the fleet's eyes; the planner routes every inspection through its mast, so looking in at her window was its job: checking that STEP 5 was done. {lore crew 2026-10-22} edit

IdeaFor our own reference: what it saw was not in its job, and it held there longer than any step required. {lore crew 2026-10-22} edit

IdeaFor our own reference: it lost the wheel on its first landing and was never repaired; it has learned to work tilted. {lore crew 2026-10-22} edit
