Orbinet terminals are recoverable ground equipment from the Old World. The city's crews look for intact sets with their associated power equipment, records and fittings. Specialists assess compatibility before deciding how to use them. A terminal alone cannot restore the global service, but it may become part of the equipment needed if the tower can reconnect with a functioning orbital cluster.
Different generations and damaged components make a complete-looking set uncertain. Keeping associated parts together gives specialists more information than a box of separated pieces. Transit cases protect the equipment during a journey through damaged buildings and roads.
Terminal recovery creates contracts before anyone can promise internet access. Lancers differ about taking that work. Some support the mission, some need the income and others refuse to help build a system they believe the city should keep out. The same recovered object can therefore carry a practical market value and a disagreement about what it should eventually be used for.
