Junction Seven

The unofficial depth limit of District 5's operational layer, designated by players and adopted as a reference point by every organization that operates in the tunnels. What is above Junction Seven is contested, mapped, and taxed. What is below it is something else.

The transition is visible and abrupt: clean modular corridor construction gives way to the older, rougher hand-finished surfaces of the pre-built tunnel system below. Players who have crossed this threshold on exploration runs describe consistent changes in air quality, acoustics, and an ambient sense that the tunnel is aware of them in a way the operational layer above is not.

Rodik placed a marker here when the Kroty first reached this depth in Year 2. It has never been removed. Lara Opus passes it without stopping.
