Secondary Pipeline Reroute

A backup fluid conduit constructed from reinforced piping, jury-rigged into the primary pipeline system. Characters activate controls to divert flow from the shattered main line, reducing pressure to half capacity with visible strain as pumps wheeze under the strain. The reroute involves two visible junction valves—one manual and one electronic—both jamming intermittently during the crisis.

Fenner halts station to combat beast

Dugeen mentions and likely manipulates the secondary line reroute controls as Fenner battles to shut the main valve, attempting to divert capacity away from the breach. The secondary line struggles visibly under the strain, its junction valves briefly jamming amid the pressing need for pressure relief.

Before: On standby redundancy route, capable of limited load-bearing.

After: Activated under duress, pumps wheezing and overhead strain visible.

Thawn defies orders to hunt the beast

The secondary pipeline reroute is commandeered by Thawn’s order to divert power and fluid to half capacity, allowing temporary operation while repairs are attempted. The controls jam intermittently under the strain, demonstrating the fragility of backup systems under crisis conditions.

Before: Existing as a contingency backup prior to the crisis.

After: Actively rerouting limited flow despite mechanical strain and intermittent failure.
