The Map
the crawler map · the war map
The floor's territory map, described by Boomer as a mess after the battle and the alliance collapse.
Story so far
Boomer's first words as Carl walks back into the castle are that the map is a mess.
He means it literally: territory has changed hands, with the former Prism castle ceded to The Dream, the Southern Front quiet while Florin's 101st pushes north toward a beachhead in the old trenches, and The Bloc having shed two members. Carl himself clicks through his menus to see what else has changed, reading the flurry of movement as proof the news about The Failsafe has already spread.
Role
