Pump Room
Constantly running pumps keep deep water from flooding the silo, but one failed pump leaves a leaking backup struggling.
Story so far
The deep-pit pumps run constantly to prevent water filling half the silo. A failed pump has left a smaller backup struggling, with water leaking through cracked seals. Juliette estimates that the basin’s nearly nine-foot-deep water still leaves at least a day before flooding reaches the workers’ boots.
Appearance
Deep pump pits include a basin holding nearly nine feet of water; the smaller backup pump leaks through cracked seals.
