The Gantry
Base
Maintenance bay under the old transit depot. Washdown rig, actuator spares, Wrench's workbench, and a cot nobody uses. The armor returns here every dawn.

The map of the patrol.
Base
Maintenance bay under the old transit depot. Washdown rig, actuator spares, Wrench's workbench, and a cot nobody uses. The armor returns here every dawn.
Patrol route
The nightly circuit through the Flood Wards — canal road, underpass, pier, nursery block, back along the floodline. Same order, same pace, every night.
Dispatch
The old signal tower where Relay works the frequencies. Every ping in the Wards passes through this room.
Area of operations
The low districts along the canal and harbor. Poor, stubborn, organized — and the reason the armor exists.
Origin site
Where two spans came down three years ago and something walked out of the rain. Rebuilt now; the chalk star on the new pylon is repainted every spring.
Floodline route
The waist-deep wading route. Headlamp, mist, debris — the commute, not the emergency.
Night watch
Foggy, quiet, the lighthouse beam sweeping. Where the armor stands when the Wards are sleeping.
Evacuation site
Where eleven trips through black water became legend. The kids there draw the armor with extra stars.
