CRYSTAL · REFERENCE 00 · SECTOR ZERO, THE CALIBRATION VAULT
The specimen before color.
Before field classifications entered active service, Potifiv Command held a small number of uncoated reference specimens inside Sector Zero. These units were not posted to a field environment. They were kept in the Calibration Vault, where every surface, seam, vent, and structural line could be verified by eye before a specimen received its field classification.
Atomic Green was posted to the Botanical Recovery Station. Lunar White was posted to the Lunar Surface Base. Crystal was never posted. It remained clear.
The transparent pedestal removes visual interruption from the specimen chamber, allowing the full assembly to be inspected from dome to stem. Equator seam. Vent geometry. Tulip pedestal. Full containment profile. This is the specimen before color. The reference form. The calibration record.
First allocation: 20 specimens globally. Reference rate: $149. The pre-dispatch reservation window closed on August 7. Remaining specimens from the first allocation are held at the reference rate. No resupply is scheduled.
Dispatch clearance passed on August 7. International allocations route directly from Sector 4-E and arrive first, estimated early September. US allocations route through the Western Outpost, estimated mid-September.
