Mechanical Levels

The cramped Mechanical levels remain partly unaware of the emergency, with their former security plating already removed.

Story so far

Mechanical’s upper entrance lies at level one-forty. Its tight corridors have primed, unpainted concrete walls and exposed overhead pipes and conduits. Earlier accounts place Mission Jones’s failed hanging attempt in the lower stairwell and record a rumor that a blackout began with an explosion in Mechanical.

Juliette’s later digging shakes dust from the halls and rattles their pipes. As the current emergency develops, residents initially continue their everyday work without knowing what is happening. The steel plating that once sealed the security area has been removed.

Appearance

Unusually narrow corridors with primed, unpainted concrete walls, exposed overhead pipes and electrical conduits, and an upper entrance on level one-forty.

Role

The physical working and residential levels of Mechanical, now reached by the emergency.
