Field record
It moves through the sediment the way a needle moves through cloth, a single dark thread stitching in and out of the ash-grey silt without ever fully surfacing. Follow the seam long enough and you start to see the pattern it's leaving — rows, evenly spaced, like something being deliberately sewn shut.
Marginal note: “stitches the silt in even, patient rows”

DiscoveryNo special condition — found simply by piloting close enough to identify it.
Catching it
A Midnight-tier catch needs at least a Braided Net— anything under that rating can never hold it, whatever the throw. Bought at the Quartermaster’s counter for 300 crystals. A held net inks this entry for good and pays its ledger bonus on the spot.
