A single painted base map, 20 location markers, and 20 detail scenes with three points of interest each. The route runs from The Library to The Machine's Faraday Cage.

• Staten Island Ferry the orange ferry that keeps crossing the harbor, a moving blind spot where a conversation can vanish between two…
• Samaritan's Server Vault a buried vault of black racks and cold air, built to hold an intelligence that does not want to be found.
