Outpost Zero

Lore & Background

The facility housed critical command centers for Bridge Babies (BBs) and porters alike, serving as the administrative heart of the region. Its significance lies not just in its physical structure but in its role as a stabilizer against the Beach phenomenon; by maintaining strong connections here, the network could better resist the encroachment of BTs and keep the living world tethered to reality.

Reader's Guide

The Capital functions as the primary starting hub for most porters, featuring a dense urban layout compared to the remote outposts. Traversing here requires navigating multi-level roads and underground tunnels designed to protect against BT incursions. Environmental hazards are minimal within the city limits due to active Chiral Network shielding, but rain can still accumulate in lower areas. Players should prioritize upgrading their equipment before departing for field routes. Geography dictates that all major delivery routes originate from here, making it essential for managing resource distribution and maintaining connection strength with distant outposts like Alpha or Iota.
