He can detect number, distance, and general direction, but nothing more specific than that. The submodule takes the form of two beds of small adamant sensor spines at the base of his neck, on either side of the spine.

His sense of neatness won't allow him to pursue the exploration he so loves while gremlins still clog the Pole, so he hardly does any exploring unless he's chasing gremlins.

This has led to him receiving much less assistance in his efforts from local warrior-spirits than he probably should.
