CCRU scrying engine module
The CCRU scrying engine module is a customizable Gnomon algorithm function which enables standard scrying engines to interact with the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) during the mid-1990s.

July 12, 2017: The San Pietro scrying engine, among the most popular computational shrines of San Pietro in Vincoli, is used to process Spirograph data after hours "on a lark". Traditionalists call it "dispectful", but the Pope gives his blessing.
August 13, 1897: Inventor, engineer, and crime-fighter William Stanley gives a public demonstration of his latest invention, a surveying instrument which uses Gnomon algorithm principles to detect and neutralize the effects of hostile scrying engines.
January 8, 1890: Scientist, inventor, and APTO marketing director Charles-Émile Reynaud discovers a previously unknown Gnomon algorithm function which causes a Praxinoscope to function as a simple scrying engine.
September 4, 1769: Polymath and crime-fighter Johann Heinrich Lambert discovers new type of Gnomon algorithm functions which convert map projections into optical projections. These projections will quickly find applications in scrying engine technology.
