Generator Room
The generator room, once a refuge during fighting, now channels evacuees past excavation rubble toward the exposed digger.
Story so far
The Generator Room was loud enough that Jahns and Marnes needed ear protection. Mechanics gathered there for the successful refit, until a porter’s news abruptly ended the celebration. During the fighting it became a refuge, with people sheltering beyond the generator while armed men fired near the railings. The feed cooling IT’s servers passes through its ceiling before rising through Mechanical’s shaft.
Juliette later chose the room for an excavation through the outer wall. The breach and further openings gave workers access to the buried Digger. Excavation rubble still lies piled in the room as evacuees pass through.
Appearance
A generator chamber with railings, a ceiling cooling feed, openings through the wall to the digger, and piles of excavation rubble.
