The Wrapping Depot is the myelin-maintenance workshop of the Quiet District. Its open bays hold a winding wheel, a sheet-rolling table and shelves of spools. Here, material from the Quiet Tracts becomes repairs to the district's elevated road.
How it works#
- Restore a stretch in a Quiet Tracts encounter.
- Return to Hearth Grove. The restoration is banked there, and you receive one wrapping spool.
- Bring the spool to the depot and press E at the counter. Choose to repair a stretch.
- Each repair needs one wrapping spool and a banked restoration you have not used yet.
- You can repair only one stretch per return.
- There are five stretches. When all five are restored, the road is whole.
- Spare spools can be wound into a sheath roll (up to 3), which Wick can use to wrap one home connection sooner.
| Stretches repaired | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 1 | The district stirs |
| 2 | The precursor keeper |
| 3 | A quick lane |
| 5 | The district shortcut opens |
In the brain#
Oligodendrocytes wrap axons in myelin, which speeds signals. The depot's spools and the road's cream sheaths borrow that idea. The art notes separate this biological inspiration from the fictional architecture.
Development#
- Design: Claude B's services catalog. The repair arc is optional and must never gate the main stress story.
- First integration (lead, 1 November, uncommitted on
main): the depot panel refused missing restorations or spools instead of pretending the road was repaired. - Alpha: Placeholder
