|
||||
Open loops: Identifying the source of the safehouse intel leak (ch-10) -- UNRESOLVED.

# World State: ch-11
|
||||
|
||||
## NPC Memory
|
||||
- The Drowned Man (Terrebonne Siphon): DISPERSED -- The entity dissolved via harmonic resonance in the previous chapter; no presence felt in the tunnels.
|
||||
- Terrebonne Security (Sector 4): AGGRESSIVE -- Boots and shouting heard in the upper levels; they are actively sweeping the facility for the "terrorists."
|
||||
|
||||
## Faction Attitudes
|
||||
- Terrebonne Development Corp: PREDATORY -- Escalating force to reclaim the Siphon and neutralize those responsible for the "Gear Jam."
|
||||
- The Duval Coven: DISTANT -- Still unaware of the specific outcome of the ritual, though the "Heartbeat" is felt by all practitioners in the Bend.
|
||||
|
||||
## Active World Events
|
||||
- The Extraction: ACTIVE -- Lena and Jax are currently transiting the transition zone between the industrial Siphon and the natural Bayou.
|
||||
- The Heartbeat: PERMANENT -- The low-frequency pulse emitted by the fused machinery continues to stabilize the local spirit-environment.
|
||||
- Security Lockdown: ACTIVE -- TDC has cordoned off the primary exits of Sector 4, forcing the protagonists into the auxiliary service tunnels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Metadata
|
||||
- Environment: Narrow, dripping concrete arteries; distant echoes of sirens; scent of stagnant water and hot copper.
|
||||
- Key Conflict: Evading the TDC security sweep while Lena is physically incapacitated.
|
||||
- Tone: Claustrophobic, urgent, and visceral.
