Production Trailer

Production Facility

Carl's new interview facility is a huge pressurized Valtay landing vessel on the ocean floor rather than a rented trailer.

Story so far

The facility sits in Earth's primary zone near Valtay headquarters and has been converted to Earth-standard pressure. Carl's humid metal room contains a bare counter, bathroom, bench-like couch, and a small exit beneath an unfamiliar symbol.

Crowd noise and spell sounds rise from another recording below. Unlike ordinary trailers, the vessel has its own containment zone, directly blocks crawler wetware, and is watched by both the AI and on-site security.

Appearance

A vast submarine-like landing vessel divided into metal rooms and studio environments on the ocean floor.

Role

The vessel centralizes CrawlCon appearances under direct Valtay surveillance and containment.

Relationships

The Valtay — They own, secure, and operate the landing vessel.
Carl — He waits there between convention appearances.
Zev — She briefs Carl inside his assigned room under surveillance.
