Two Cuban keyholders and three keyless squads begin a race around separate church transfers and stairwell doors.
Cuba contains five squads but only two keys: the Royal Court and Sister Ines hold access, while three other squads must obtain one. Carl and Donut appear at Iglesia San Hilarion almost fifty kilometers from their Capitol exit.
Carl's old traps activate around El Capitolio Nacional, scattering at least three arrivals. Imani chooses Cuba and appears instead at Sister Ines's church, where lone Quan Ch tries to challenge her before she enters the saferoom.
Carl decides the keyless Imani must prevent Sister Ines from escaping until the Royal Court arrives. The immediate objective therefore shifts away from defending Carl's own stairwell toward controlling the second doorway.

The setup creates intersecting rescue, alliance, and key-control pressures rather than a simple race to Carl's own exit.
