The Assembly
Overview
The former automotive factory complex — a single building footprint large enough to have its own weather patterns. The assembly lines that once produced electric vehicles now produce whatever Ironclad's fabrication orders require, which changes monthly. The workforce enters through the same gates the auto workers used, wears the same high-visibility vests, and operates machinery bolted to the same floor plates. The building's sheer mass has so far resisted the fault's best efforts, though the eastern wall shows a crack you could fit your arm into that engineering reports describe as "monitored." The parking lots surrounding the complex have become an informal settlement — workers who can't afford transit sleeping in vehicles within walking distance of the next shift. The Narrows bridge approach narrows the terrain at the sector's western edge, funneling traffic between the marshland and the factory district.
