COMPASS Base 33

A shipping-inspection depot turned federal outpost after the Drydock Break — the day containment failed and a badge first stood shoulder to shoulder with a cape. COMPASS runs this station clean, well-funded, and studiously unbothered by what its own paperwork implies. The front-desk agents don't ask what's on sublevel six. A summons here rarely means somebody's already dead. It always means somebody could be next.

Appearance: A converted inspection depot behind reinforced fencing, matte-gray prefab additions bolted onto older brick, security cameras angled at every approach. Clean, quiet, and lit with the sterile, shadowless glow of somewhere that never really closes.
