The KI is also critical to the calibration and continued maintenance of the Great Zero through the use of [[marker missions]].

Calibration is performed by comparing a [[Great Zero marker|marker]]'s actual location in the [[Cavern]] with where it is supposed to be according to records stored by the Great Zero. By collecting enough markers, the Great Zero can self-correct its alignment and function properly, enabling the use of a cylindrical coordinate system (elevation, angle, distance) referred to as "KI-PS", or "KI Positioning System" (similar to Surface GPS, or "[[w:Global Positioning System|Global Positioning System]]"). Explorers who have sufficiently calibrated their KI to communicate with the Great Zero can create marker missions of their own, which can be sent through the KI-mail system to other explorers. New missions can be created by touching the marker-shaped icon on the left side of the device's face. | ||
Once an explorer's KI is fully calibrated, the device's active holographic display will show the wearer their KI-PS coordinates in the top right corner, provided their location is properly synced with the Great Zero. While coordinates work in Ae'gura and the neighborhoods, more outlying areas like the [[Descent]], as well as other Ages, do not display coordinates. | Once an explorer's KI is fully calibrated, the device's active holographic display will show the wearer their KI-PS coordinates in the top right corner, provided their location is properly synced with the Great Zero.
