FIELD NOTES

The Manta is the archive's sweetest object — a frosted pink polycarbonate case, a brushed aluminium top plate with the MANTA mark, a band of rose-gold trim around the edge. GMK Lime keeps the deck mostly off-white and grey, then drops a shock of lime green on the Esc and Return. HMX Cthulhu switches on a leaf mount; candy on the outside, quiet underneath.
