Scanner Sweeps
By linking the observatory to the command network and dropping a packet of microscopic nano-sensors, a surging field of energy can be created at any location of the commander's choosing. This field lasts for a brief time, and reveals all Kharaa lifeforms and structures, including cloaked aliens. It is especially useful for planning assaults, or finding the location of active hives.
