THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Safe Room

First seen: Book 1, Chapter 19

Floor 1's second known safe room, found deep in the neighborhood of the rot stickers. Laid out like a dingy bus station or DMV rather than the first safe room's fast food restaurant, with curtained cots instead of rentable rooms and no attendant on duty.

Safe Room

Appearance

A cramped, dingy layout, more bus station or DMV than restaurant: three information screens, larger bathrooms with showers, a water fountain, and five curtained cots along one wall, plus two more curtained, cot-less alcoves at the end whose purpose is unclear. No large windows like the first safe room, and no attendant on duty.B1C19

Where

Floor 1, halfway through the neighborhood of the rot stickersB1C19

Purpose

A rest stop for crawlers, same as the first safe room, but self-serve: no Bopca Protector on hand, and a local quirk of its own, a plate of experience cookies, one per crawler per dayB1C19

Stats

Five curtained cots along one wall, plus two curtained alcoves with no cots; whether the empty ones are privacy spaces or the room just ran short is never explainedB1C19
