THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

The Dismemberment Limited

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 12

A named fast loop train on floor 4's Iron Tangle, boarded from a monorail-style platform smaller than an ordinary colored-line stop: a maglev system running on a wide, flat track with two metal beams rather than the colored lines' own rails, arriving every 48 minutes on a short loop. Only one car is open to riders, run by a single engineer with no separate driver's room; every other car stays sealed unless a crawler boards, at which point Fleshers hunting the engineer are let loose from the rear. Six previous crawler groups are said to have died riding it.
