The vast corporate-hub station where GrayCris holds Mensah, blocking a company rescue.
TranRollinHyfa is the corporate-hub station where Dr. Mensah is being held. Seen up close, it is larger than Port FreeCommerce, built with three interconnected transit rings below its main hull, and its public feed is a chaos of corporate advertising that drowns out transit schedules and safety announcements, competing with holosculptures of waterfalls, trees, and abstract art amid towers of expensive spheres. Its security is unusually tight—extra small drones of an unfamiliar brand, multiple recognition scans—and GrayCris, headquartered here, has persuaded the station to deny docking and operational permission to the Company's retrieval gunship, which is left holding position offstation.
Two resident security firms, EinoArzu and Stockade Kumaran, rent SecUnits; Palisade keeps a large office here as well. The Preservation negotiating team's shuttle is docked on the second transit ring, traced by Murderbot to a station hotel.
An enormous corporate station with three interconnected transit rings below a central hull, multi-level towers of spherical shops and offices, holosculptures, and an ad-saturated feed.
Central setting: the hostile corporate hub where Mensah is captive and the rescue must unfold.
