Scene Overview

Scene 3 — Three Roads to the Hollow Vein

After the cyber-hound attack and restraint crisis, the escape stops being a single corridor. At Junction Black, the party chooses one of three routes: fight through the Exhaust Gate, cross the Coolant Spine, or restart the Ore Transit Line. Each route is a complete alternative rather than an encounter the party is expected to play in sequence.
