I thought that I would add a review of this card because it has one particularly noteworthy use I didn't see mentioned. If someone wrote this already I apologize!
One of its best uses is in the Scarlet Keys when trying to expose concealed mini-cards at other locations. Sometimes the actions spent moving from location to location to try to find an enemy are really draining. With this card, you can sit tight at one location and expose concealed mini-cards from a variety of different locations without having to move to each of them. This can be a real action saver. In addition, if you successfully expose an enemy at a different location, it will not spawn with you, which reduces the risk of exposing at the end of your turn!
Sadly Pathfinder exists and does almost same thing but is more generally useful, up to and including the investigation without risking an enemy spawn (by moving during the player window during the test)

That doesn't make sense. Why would you move before determining success/failure of the test? Also, Pathfinder only moves you one location. I think for this use-case, jesse.acaro has a point.

Hello Suika. Yes, there are other movement tech cards and clue at range cards that can at times achieve the same result, but I would argue not in all circumstances needing no combos or help. Let's say there are concealed cards in many different directions so you couldn't pathfind your way to all of them in a turn, and perhaps some mini-cards are many locations away. This is the only card I can think of that can expose cards from all over the board in such a simple way, requiring no combos or using any other card or ability at all. I suppose Hyperphysical Shotcaster with the Telescanner upgrade could do this, but this does take a contested slot and cost more XP and resources. I think this is a decent one-off to offer a nice solution to a not at all uncommon occurrence in this campaign.
