Vermillion Line
the Vermillion line · the Vermillion platform
Where everyone stands to watch the clock run out, beside the one cart they have left.
Story so far
When the clock hits one day, the party has emptied the station 36 chamber and dispersed across the several platforms feeding into it. Carl, Princess Donut, Mongo, Katia Grim, Elle McGib and Imani C wait on the Vermillion line platform, where the party's sole remaining interdiction cart sits — the same one they rode to the end of the line to save Daniel Bautista's crew, now tuned to Station and Repair Hub E. No monsters have approached for a while, and they deliberately do not gather everyone in one place or let anyone be crept up on.
Appearance
A quiet platform with one battered rail cart standing ready.
Role
The party's staging platform for the collapse.
Relationships
Station 36 — One of the platforms feeding its main chamber.
