Supply
Supply helped Juliette survive her cleaning and fought alongside Mechanical; some workers reached the evacuation, but Gina did not.
Story so far
Supply had provided Juliette with spare parts for years. At Walker’s request it secretly substituted Mechanical’s materials for those ordered by IT, helping make the suit that survived her cleaning. Supply and Mechanical also jointly operated a mine.
Supply’s workers initially distrusted the Mechanical delegation, then responded to Knox’s appeal with anger and joined the armed expedition. The two groups manufactured weapons and ammunition together. After the fighting turned against them, Supply admitted its own wounded while urging injured mechanics farther down, and some of its people took refuge with Mechanical. Its entrance was badly damaged.
Later, reassigned IT workers filled Supply’s labor shortages. Juliette continued to credit its people with risking much to help her survive. During the downward evacuation, some Supply workers carried a few belongings to safety. Some made it down, but Gina did not.
Role
A supply organization whose material support and alliance with Mechanical helped shape both Juliette’s survival and the uprising.
