The Overlook
Overview
Strategic elevation overlooking both the Mission flats and the bay floor — whoever holds the Overlook controls sight lines across half the sector. The Attention Auction runs from a converted warehouse on the hill's eastern face, selling cognitive bandwidth to the highest bidder. The Collection Floor processes raw salvage into sorted commodity streams. The Processing Floor handles what the Collection Floor can't categorize — augmentation components, pre-Cascade electronics, things that might be weapons. The Thermal Shadow spreads along the hill's northern slope, a residential zone cooled by industrial heat sinks where Works laborers collapse between shifts. The Yard occupies the waterfront edge, where cargo elevators haul materials between the bay floor and the surface in loads that shake the ground.
