Places and their significance in this event
The Expedition Base serves as the precarious command center where the expedition's crumbling facade of control faces total collapse. Vishinsky's diagnosis and Ponti's murder report unfold against a backdrop of flickering power grids and shadowed corridors, the air thick with the scent of spent reagents and something far older—the unnatural stillness of Zeta Minor's oppression clinging to every surface. The base's fortified walls now feel permeable, harboring both a mechanical failure and a murderous horror within.
