Area 52

Safe-room destination of the Nest Tower escape hatch, and gateway to anywhere via the doggie door.

Story so far

With the Teleport Ban lifted and The Tower Net no longer an issue, Carl noted that he and Princess Donut had an escape hatch right behind them in the Nest Tower. It would teleport them all the way to just outside the safe room at Area 52.

Once inside, they could use the Doggie Door to go anywhere they wanted, making Area 52 the hinge between the Larracos battlefield and whatever comes next, including the hunt for Paca that Eris just set him.

Role

The safe-room hub the escape hatch leads to, connecting to everywhere via the doggie door.

Relationships

The Escape Hatch — Teleports Carl and Donut to just outside its safe room.
