THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Rock of Ages

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 28

Def Leppard's 1983 hit song, the Mindaro line cart's alarm trap song, which ends up nicknaming the cart itself for the rest of the rescue.

Real-World Reference

Bautista's crew only saw one cart on the Mindaro line, playing "Rock of Ages" by Def Leppard, and had no way of knowing it was the one they needed to jump in front of. Carl blames himself for not tracking which song went with which cart.

Book 3, Chapter 28

The abandoned Mindaro-line interdiction cart, still identifiable by its Def Leppard song, is chosen for the plan to physically haul a cart into station 36's main chamber.

Book 3, Chapter 29

"Rock of Ages" is still blaring from the immobile Def Leppard cart as the rescue plan's final cart eases through, only cutting off once a crawler with a sling scores a direct hit on the small trap.

Book 3, Chapter 31

Li-Na's plan to bait the province boss still calls for raising the "Def Leppard cart," the nickname sticking well past the rescue itself.
