That miss is an advance, so flagging here that I'm grabbing Watch C-Beams Glitter.

When you make a claim about a strange situation or phenomenon based on your experience, roll + Freak. On a hit, you were right; the GM will tell you what opportunity your knowledge grants to you. On a 7-9, your claim is incomplete, flawed, or tangential; the GM will tell you how. On a miss, your experiences are incomplete; the GM will tell you what mistake your flawed understanding leads you to make.

I don't feel like we've progressed enough to set up a call to the Zhianku, but I think calling the cavalry is what I'm aiming for next advance, with maybe some plans to pick up the fictional tech Anathet will need for that in this session (maybe even some spare bits from #MAT here to get things started).
