Pahzi is the friendly bopca proprietor of a small traditional roadside saferoom where the party watches the phase-two update.
The slow northward grind prevents the party from reaching the Desperado saferoom before the daily announcement. They stop instead at Pahzi's modest traditional venue.
Pahzi is notably good-natured despite the general decline in bopca deference. Donut orders crab and meat for Mongo, while Carl orders a pork sandwich.
The saferoom becomes the setting where Carl notices Katia's silence, watches crawler highlights, contacts Bautista, and receives Cascadia's phase-two rules.
