THE JOB: Ride the salvage truck into irradiated sectors, loot the sealed facilities below, haul scrap back to the truck. Meet the PROFIT QUOTA before the deadline — or be exiled. Five quotas lead to the FINAL CONTRACT.
BANKING: Drop scrap in the SALVAGE HOPPER or leave it in the cargo bay. Everything aboard when the truck departs counts. If the whole crew dies, the day's haul is forfeit.
MIDNIGHT: The truck leaves at 12 AM with or without you.
DOORS & SECURITY: Close doors behind you — ghouls must bash them open. Locked OVERSEER ONLY vaults hold rich loot: hack the terminal beside them. Failed hacks trigger alarms.
HOSTILES: Ghouls play dead. Watchmen move only when unobserved. Mole rats steal scrap. Radroaches swarm. The Crawler waits on dark ceilings — listen for dripping. The Hollow is blind: stay quiet near it. The Surgeon hunts light. Clawbeasts hunt sound at night.
