The Survey Charge is a compact, cylindrical device with a rugged, metallic exterior designed for durability in harsh environments. It features a prominent, red activation button on top, surrounded by a series of small, glowing LED indicators that signal its readiness. The body is textured with grip patterns for secure handling, and the base has a magnetic attachment point for placement on metallic surfaces. The device emits a faint, pulsating blue glow from its seams when armed, indicating its explosive nature.
