I realize I didn't explain how indexing works very well, so here's the official take:
Your phones have a telemetry unit that automatically scans and indexes the surroundings at regular intervals without you having to do anything. This is passive indexing, and "XP" from this is shared equally among VCs in the same area. Passive indexing occurs on a superficial level and is not thorough.
Active indexing is when you put in effort to analyze a particular item or area in detail, which may involve activities like taking pictures, hashtagging, or even writing a report on it. Active indexing nets additional XP but only to the ones who performed it.
Once something has been actively indexed it's been fully indexed for everyone, so you won't get XP from scanning something that's already been indexed unless circumstances have changed such that new information can be gained from the process, such as encountering an unknown creature and then later being able to dissect its corpse. I will of course have the final say on whether something is re-indexable.
Back to the game...
Since Cory has been indexing the immediate surroundings in some kind of zealous frenzy ever since the spawn container went down, there isn't much else that Vincent can contribute, at least not staying where he is.
"Blast. It sounds like such an interesting place." Samad is disappointed, and falls into deep thought. "I suppose if I had one of those I'd be doing the same as Jaysson over there." He looks to the east and sees the structure. "Say, do you folks know what that is?"
