Station 36
The station where Imani holds the line and every crawler waits at the open stairwell for Carl's return.
Story so far
Station 36 served as the assembled crawlers' redoubt during the endgame of the floor. Ghouls still appeared occasionally there, along with full-sized Krakaren monsters, but Imani C held the line. After the train strike, Carl's party walked back up the employee line and returned to the station.
The stairwell to the next floor had been open for some time, yet nobody had descended — the entire group waited for Carl. Elle McGib went down first, swearing off trains forever, and then Agatha appeared, the stairs becoming a ramp for her shopping cart before she vanished below. Carl followed after receiving Loita's green room summons.
Appearance
A defended train station with an open stairwell, littered with the remains of repelled ghoul and Krakaren attacks.
Role
The floor's final gathering point and the site of its open stairwell.
