[19C] — SECTOR 19
The Lab Ruins
Overview
What remains of the national laboratory complex — acres of reinforced concrete bunkers, collapsed clean rooms, and containment structures whose seals failed decades ago. The radiation levels are elevated but not immediately lethal, which is the kind of reassurance that only helps on paper. Scavenger crews work the outer buildings for pre-Cascade tech components, moving fast and carrying dosimeters that click with increasing urgency the deeper they go. The inner campus is off-limits by consensus rather than authority — nobody patrols it because nobody needs to. The contamination does the enforcement.
