Time Remaining: 35 Days, 06 Hours. (Status: Conditional Asset. Compliance Collar Active.) Location: Sector 7-Bravo - The Waste Reclamation Unit.

The Iron Horse rumbled down a steep, slick ramp into the underbelly of Ferro. The air here was heavy, wet, and smelled violently of ammonia and rot.
Above them, the city stacked layer upon layer of steel, blocking out the sun completely. The only light came from flickering, yellow gas-lamps and the occasional spark shower from a faulty transformer.
"This place," Vivian muttered, holding a scented handkerchief to her nose, "smells like a corpse that has been left in the sun."
"It's worse," Arthur said, reading the dashboard sensors. "It's chemical runoff. This is the kidney of the city. All the toxic sludge from the upper foundries drains down here to be filtered."
