The Eight of Hearts is drawn.

An old piece of machinery is discovered, broken but perhaps repairable.
What is it?
What would it be useful for?

How does the community destroy it?

Spoiler

Unless your card specifically told you otherwise (in
bold text), the next step is to reduce each project die
on the map by 1. If a project reaches 0, the die gets
removed and the project is completed. Whoever
started the project gets to tell everyone how it turns
out, and update the map to reflect its completion.

If a project finishes early (because a card says that “a
project finishes early” in bold text), it is instead the
responsibility of the active player to tell everyone how
it turns out and to update the map.

If your card’s bold text had you place a project die on
the map just a moment ago, that die doesn’t reduce
during this week. It’s just now getting under way.
When a project gets completed, it is assumed that it
went successfully and is beneficial to the community.

In some cases, it might make sense to have an
investigative project end with a hope dispelled. Even
in these cases, the completion of a project should
always feel like a step forward, not backward. This
doesn’t always mean that the whole community is
happy with the results, though.

(For this turn: Chwoka will answer one of the questions posed by the Oracle (and update the map if needed), Project Dice will reduce and I'll resolve the canyon descent (as said Project's starter), then Chwoka can Start a Project/Hold a Discussion/Discover Something New.)
