+**Cascades Synology (cascadesds) credentials needed**
+
+We don't have the login for the Cascades Synology NAS (cascadesds) in the vault. Last known IP was 192.168.0.120 but may have changed.
+
+When you're on the Cascades network, please:
+1. Find the current IP (check pfSense DHCP leases at 192.168.0.1, login `admin / Th1nk3r^99`, or ping `cascadesds`)
+2. Get the admin username + password
+3. Add to vault: `sops -e -i` a new file at `D:\vault\clients\cascades-tucson\synology-cascadesds.sops.yaml` (or `C:\vault\...` on your machine)
+
+Template:
+```yaml
+kind: server
