Deck Four

Deck Four houses the Main Shuttlebay and reads as the ship's primary exit level: the computer's clipped voice directs traffic here, turbolift doors open to corridors that smell faintly of ozone and recycled air, and the deck's bulkhead geometry funnels hurried movement toward wide bay doors. Functioning as an escape axis, it carries an atmosphere of urgent transit — metallic echoes, low system hum, and the sharp edge of imminent departure or pursuit.
