The Thames Barrier failed on March 14, 2047. Not catastrophically — not all at once. The eastern gates held for eleven hours while engineers on the night shift tried to reach someone with authorization to flood the fields instead. By the time the authorization came through, there was no one to receive it. Three counties of tidal surge had already made the decision.
NAF classified the failure investigation in 2049. Nobody who was on duty that night still lives in London.
It is now 2066. The Thames is twenty times its pre-Upheaval width. Canary Wharf's towers stand in water. Parliament is submerged. The tube network flooded in stages over four years and the last trains ran in 2051. The flood line runs roughly east-west through the middle of the city, with the south and north high ground still habitable and the central zone ranging from ankle-deep to fully submerged.
Population: approximately 180,000 people still inside the flood boundary. Pre-Upheaval London housed nine million. Nobody agrees on what happened to the others.
This supplement provides Flooded London as an operational area for Operator Tactics Hex Crawl System v2. It adds London-specific environmental rules, a 10x8 hex grid covering the Thames Breach Zone, keyed hex profiles for 13 locations, a faction layer, encounter tables, and mission seeds.
The core loop, resource tracking, operator specializations, and encounter resolution all run from Hex Crawl v2 unchanged. This document overlays London's specific pressure systems on top of that framework.
The HTML hex map file (flooded_london_map.html) should be open at the table for reference. Hover or click any hex for operational details. Keyed hexes — the ones with full profiles in this document — are marked with a gold diamond on the map.
Flooded London operates across four distinct water depth conditions. The tier of a hex determines available movement approaches, cover conditions, and resource consumption. Terrain and tidal state can shift a hex up or down one tier.
| Tier | Depth | Movement | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SHALLOW | 0–0.5m | Standard. No penalty. Stealth checks +1 difficulty (water noise). | Contamination check on rest if skin exposed. |
| WADING | 0.5–1.5m | 2 Phases per hex. Forced Entry unavailable. Stealth: TACT vs 5+. No prone cover. | Gear waterproof check per Phase (TACT 4+) or lose 1 item. |
| SWIMMING | 1.5–3m | Boat required. Swimming: GUTS 4+ per Phase, fail = 1 Fatigue. Nat 1 = 2 Fatigue. | Combat on boats. Reduced cover. SHOOT -1 from boat instability. |
| SUBMERGED | 3m+ | Dive gear required. Without it: GUTS 5+ per Phase. Fail = 2 Fatigue. At 0 GUTS: drowning. | With dive gear: 1 Phase per hex. SHOOT -2. FIGHT unaffected. |
London's flood is not static. The tidal cycle creates a 6-hour shift between high and low water. This runs on the session clock alongside the standard hex crawl Phase system.
London's floodwater carries chemical, biological, and radiological traces from decades of industrial infrastructure that drowned without proper decommissioning.
| D6 | Result | Mechanical Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clear. | No effect. |
| 2 | Skin irritation. | -1 to GUTS checks for 24 hours. |
| 3 | Respiratory. | -1 to all checks for next session. |
| 4 | Fever onset. | +1 Fatigue, unrecoverable until medically treated. |
| 5 | Acute exposure. | Treat as Flesh Wound requiring medical attention. |
| 6 | Severe. | Treat as Mortal Wound. Requires off-grid specialist. |
Flooded buildings are dying. Water works on foundations for years. Assign a Collapse Risk rating to any building operators enter in a flood-zone hex: LOW / MODERATE / HIGH / CRITICAL.
Standard consumption. Resupply checks in flood-zone hexes are one difficulty step harder.
Track separately. Flood water keeps you alive but requires a contamination roll. Clean water is a premium resource — you can survive without it for 48 hours before physical penalties begin.
Each Phase of boat movement burns 1 Fuel unit. Track as team resource. At 0 Fuel, rowing takes 2 Phases per hex and costs +1 Fatigue.
Electronic gear drains faster in flood conditions. Each session of wet operations: TACT vs 4+ check. Failure: one electronic item needs recharge or replacement.
Elevated hexes. Dry. Occupied. These are the zones where the survivors built something. They're running out of everything and don't have the infrastructure to fix it.
NAF's primary London foothold. Houses the only functioning large-scale water processing station north of the flood line.
NAF London Station (on paper). Tideline Authority (controls food distribution). Neither fully acknowledges the other's power.
Clean water. The only reliable source north of the flood line. Medical bay. Only functioning clinic in this sector. NAF equipment exchange. Overpriced. Available. Structural shelter. Pre-Upheaval housing, still sound. Intel feeds from NAF satellite relay (curated).
NAF enforcement. ID checks, curfew, biometric registration. Water access politics. Permits required, easily revoked. Overcrowding drives disease pressure. The medical bay is already at capacity. Suspected informant network seeded throughout civilian population.
Food. All imported through Tideline channels. NAF doesn't produce it. Fuel. Rationed. Medical consumables. The medic is stretching everything. Space. Too many people.
The water processing station runs on one aging turbine on a hybrid solar-battery system. When it fails — and it will — 2,000 people have 48 hours of reserves.
Water rationed by NAF priority class. Operators not on NAF manifest get cut first. The Tideline Authority's food leverage doubles overnight. People start making quiet arrangements with black market runners across the flood line.
NAF Alpha Rotation on checkpoint. Economy: water permits, medical access, equipment. Risk: ID sweeps, informant activity.
Tideline Authority block wardens. Economy: black market water, permit forgery. Risk: displacement violence, curfew raids.
The old Parliament Hill path runs straight up to a water processing station the size of a shipping container — pipes everywhere, condensation streaming down, three civilians waiting with repurposed canisters. The queue hasn't moved in an hour.
MARTA SZALAY, NAF water station tech. CAN GET: turbine failure timeline, processing output data, NAF maintenance schedule. WANTS: a way out of London before the turbine fails — her orders say she cannot leave her post. FEARS: being held responsible when the system fails. CURRENT PRESSURE: she was ordered last week to falsify maintenance logs.
OBI NNADI, Tideline block warden (corrupt). CAN GET: food distribution records, civilian population data, under-the-counter water permits. WANTS: a specific civilian found and brought to him — they witnessed something. FEARS: the civilian finding him first. CURRENT PRESSURE: regional Tideline lead coming for inspection in four days.
VEE, unlicensed forger. CAN GET: NAF transit permits, civilian ID packages, basic access credentials. WANTS: a working bio-mod calibration tool — hers broke, she can't do fine work without it. FEARS: one specific NAF corporal who knows her face. CURRENT PRESSURE: her latest permit batch has an undetected error. Five people are walking around with it.
Tideline Authority food production node — 40% of south London's food supply comes from hydroponic towers here.
Former industrial buildings converted to vertical food production. The Tideline Authority runs it. The Dredge Compact is taxing the transit routes in and out. The Tideline Authority is paying under protest. This cannot continue.
Food and seeds — the only things people here will always trade for. Processing equipment. Agricultural expertise.
Dredge Compact enforcement on transit lanes. Single point of failure for Tideline food supply. Workers who know their leverage.
Botanist-engineer hybrid who keeps the hydroponic systems running; Tideline logistics coordinator who knows exactly what the Dredge Compact is charging; Dredge Compact toll collector who is deeply uncomfortable with what they've been told to do.
The transition zone. Where the street ends and the water begins. These hexes exist because necessity created them.
The flood line crossing point. A market grew here because people needed a market here.
Nobody. Three groups claim control. None of them agree on what control means here.
Boat docking — the northern terminus for flood-zone watercraft. Supply exchange — food coming down from Walthamstow, salvage coming up from the flood zone. Black market permits: NAF transit, Dredge Compact dive, Tideline food allocation. Information — everyone passes through here.
Three factions in constant territorial friction. Violence is always close. No enforcement means no protection either. Price gouging for essential supplies. You pay what the market demands. NAF drone sweeps every 6 hours — not enforcing, monitoring.
Safe passage guarantees. There are none. Neutral ground. There is none. Fixed prices. There are none.
The market generates enough informal revenue that all three factions want to control it and none of them will allow any of the others to. The resulting stalemate is the only reason it still functions.
When one faction gets strong enough to push — or when a Dredge Compact transport tax makes the river route commercially unviable — the market fractures. Three smaller, worse, less useful markets appear in its place. People die of access failure in the weeks following.
Three faction-affiliated boat handlers jostling for dock priority. Economy: everything. Risk: faction friction, price extortion.
Dredge Compact controls boat traffic after dark. Economy: premium black market access. Risk: Dredge enforcement, unlit water, structural instability.
A hundred boats tied to a submerged park railing, eight rows deep. On the bank, twelve vendors in whatever waterproof gear they could find. The sound is continuous — engines, argument, water, transaction.
KESS, independent dock handler. CAN GET: cargo manifests (unofficial), boat schedules, who's moving what when. WANTS: a favor from someone with NAF access — her brother is on a detention list. FEARS: the Dredge Compact finding out she's been talking to Tideline runners without taking the Compact cut.
THE BUYER (no name given), Black Reach procurement. CAN GET: top-tier salvage prices, introduction to Black Reach operations. WANTS: specific technical components — gives a list. FEARS: being identified. CURRENT PRESSURE: a competitor is working the same market.
OMORUYI, Tideline supply coordinator. CAN GET: Tideline food allocation data, route information north to Walthamstow, community contacts across inhabited London. WANTS: reliable boat security for the supply line. FEARS: the Dredge Compact transit fee making food distribution economically impossible.
The old marshes absorbed the flood and became something that wasn't planned. Feral. Growing.
Stratford industrial collapse runoff seeded the water with failed biotech compounds. Gene-forged aquatic organisms — experimental remnants from programs that ended badly — are breeding here. The contamination level is HIGH. The collapse risk in any submerged structure is CRITICAL. Nobody controls this hex. The organisms are beginning to expand territory.
Nothing you want. The only reason to enter is if something valuable went in here first, or if you need to reach Stratford without going through the Dredge Compact lanes.
Gene-forged aquatic predators (see Feral entry, Encounter Table B). Contamination HIGH. Structural collapse CRITICAL. No extraction support if something goes wrong.
No named contacts inside the hex. Dredge Compact dive team leader who surveys the boundary; ex-biotech researcher at Hackney North who knows what the organisms are (and feels responsible); Tideline environmental monitor who tracks the expansion of the contamination zone.
Wading to boat-required depth. Former city. The bones of what London was, visible at the waterline.
The cultural core of flooded London. Former Soho streets now navigated by flat-bottomed boat. The city's informal economy.
Upper floors of hundreds of buildings are above water — some still occupied. The Dry Bar on Dean Street (third floor) has been open continuously since the flood. It serves as an intel hub. NAF does not officially acknowledge it exists. Everyone else uses it.
The Dry Bar for intel and contacts. Salvage access to cultural district buildings. Black market operating from upper-floor locations. Art and data recovery economy.
Structural collapse on lower floors is HIGH. Boat traffic is navigable but unpredictable. Multiple factions passing through with no clear dominance — friction is constant and random.
Dry Bar owner (information, neutral, price is a drink or a secret); Dredge Compact boat lane marshal (permits and leverage); cultural salvage operator who knows which buildings are still sound.
Former tech district. Server farms and startup infrastructure accessible from upper floors. The hardware economy runs through here.
Black Reach has a standing contract for pre-Upheaval server stock. The Dredge Compact runs dive ops here under a salvage license they issued to themselves. NAF wants to establish a checkpoint to tax both of them. Nobody is cooperating.
Pre-Upheaval server hardware (premium price). Tech salvage of every kind. Access to a NAF monitoring antenna on the roof of a flooded building that still transmits — no one is supposed to know this.
Three factions in a small space. All of them armed. Structural collapse MODERATE to HIGH on lower floors. Contamination PRESENT from industrial runoff through Bethnal Green.
Black Reach embedded tech (data acquisition; wants secure comms); Dredge Compact dive lead (equipment, access, wants a rival crew dealt with); NAF signals analyst who is absolutely not supposed to be here (checkpoint intel, wants this meeting to never have happened).
Boat or dive. The city under the water. The reason everyone is still here, working these hexes.
Symbolic headquarters of the Tideline Authority. The clock tower as political statement.
Tideline Authority (formal claim). The tower is structurally compromised at the waterline. The report has been suppressed for six months.
Tideline Authority access — the closest thing London has to legitimate governance. Intel on south London civilian network. Symbolic value. Controlling this location means something.
The tower is dying. Dive engineers have stalled the structural report. Everyone who works here knows. Three meters of contaminated water at the base. Entry by boat only. NAF considers this a symbolic provocation. They have not acted. Yet.
Structural honesty. Nobody tells the truth about the tower's timeline. Food. Even here. Extraction plan. There isn't one.
The Tideline Authority's legitimacy is symbolically anchored to this building. If the tower falls, the governance structure doesn't automatically fall with it — but the fracture lines it creates between the five Brixton Rise neighborhood councils will be severe enough to threaten the coalition.
When the waterline breach accelerates, the Authority has 48 hours to execute an emergency governance transfer. Nobody has written the plan. The person who should have written it keeps meaning to.
Tideline official meetings and delegation briefings. Economy: governance access, resource authorization. Risk: structural concern that nobody discusses aloud.
Security rotation and private communications. Economy: nothing official. Risk: the building settles audibly at high tide.
Big Ben's clock face looks out over three meters of brown water. The clock stopped in 2049. The hands are still there, pointing at 11:43, which is when the last engineer decided the mechanism wasn't worth fixing.
DIRECTOR AMARA OSEI-BONSU, Tideline Authority leadership. CAN GET: governance access, civilian network intel, resource authorization, Tideline favor. WANTS: the structural report quietly confirmed or buried — she needs to know how long she has before she must make a public decision. FEARS: the coalition fracturing before she has a plan.
GORAN PAVIC, dive structural engineer. CAN GET: the real structural assessment, access to the underwater base of the tower, dive knowledge of the Westminster flood zone. WANTS: to be told he doesn't have to suppress the report anymore. FEARS: the Tideline Authority and what they'll do if the report becomes public.
PRIYA NAIR, Tideline communications lead. CAN GET: Tideline comms schedule, faction communications intel, introduction to the Tideline intelligence network. WANTS: to identify the leak inside the authority. FEARS: it's someone she trusts.
The City of London financial district — submerged. The vaults are in the basements. Black Reach has been trying to get to them for 18 months.
The financial data stored in these basements represents leverage over corporations and governments that were supposed to be regulated out of existence. Black Reach's client consortium needs this data. Three of the buildings are approaching catastrophic structural failure — 5 to 10 days on the worst estimates. After collapse, the data is inaccessible permanently.
Pre-Upheaval financial data (Black Reach contract). Structural steel and infrastructure salvage (Dredge Compact). Anything that goes under here tends to stay under.
Structural collapse CRITICAL on lower floors. Three-way conflict (Black Reach / Dredge Compact / independent salvagers). No extraction point if you're inside when something fails. Underwater visibility: 2 meters on a good day.
Black Reach dive team lead (access, equipment, wants muscle for distraction op); Dredge Compact sector manager (competing salvage license; wants the Black Reach team out); independent dive operator who knows which buildings are still safe (for now).
The towers above the flood. The Dredge Compact's primary London base. The only commercial dive operation in the flood zone.
The towers stand in four meters of water at their bases. The Dredge Compact operates from the 22nd floor of the largest tower. They control the only commercial-grade dock-lift system for flood zone access. They run guided dive operations into the submerged lobbies. The reef forming beneath the towers has been growing for four years. Something large is using it as territory. The Dredge dive team has stopped entering the eastern lobby without explaining why.
Dive equipment and access. Flood lane transit permits. The only functioning commercial dock in the flood zone. Intel from the only people who regularly operate in deep water.
Dredge Compact enforcement — they own the space and know they own it. The thing in the eastern lobby. Equipment failure far from any support.
Dredge Compact operations director (permits, access, wants competitors handled); dive equipment specialist (gear, underwater intel, wants out of the Dredge Compact but owes them too much); reef survey researcher who is documenting the organism that the Dredge won't name.
The Royal Observatory. The best sightlines over the Thames corridor. The only faction-neutral intelligence hub in London.
A group of former university researchers refused to leave when the evacuation orders came. They stayed, documented the flood's progress, and built a functioning intelligence operation. They sell data to everyone — NAF, Tideline, Black Reach, Dredge Compact. Their neutrality is their business model. They know this is temporary.
Best available intelligence on Thames corridor movement. Faction-neutral access — the only place in London where you can meet a NAF contact and a Black Reach contact on the same afternoon. Satellite uplink (limited). Signal intercept capability.
Everyone knows this place exists. Everyone has considered taking it. The researchers survive because all four factions currently need the neutrality more than the control. The day that calculus changes, the observatory becomes a battlefield.
Lead researcher and intelligence broker (sells everything; price is information, not money); signals analyst (intercept data; wants equipment they can't get through official channels); observatory archivist who has been documenting the Barrier failure since 2047 and has information NAF classified — and classified again when the first classification didn't hold.
The original failure point. The Thames Barrier, collapsed. The reason all of this flooding exists.
Extreme current through the debris field at every tidal shift. Three dive teams sent for assessment have not returned. The official NAF explanation is structural collapse risk. The classification level on all Barrier documentation has been raised twice since 2047. Somebody approved the decommissioning of the Barrier maintenance program in 2044. That person's name is in the classified files. The observatory archivist at Greenwich has been trying to establish that name for fifteen years.
The classified documentation on the Barrier failure — if it still exists underwater. The name of who authorized the decommissioning. The answer to what happened to the three dive teams.
Everything. CRITICAL contamination. Extreme current (navigation requires TACT vs 5+, failure = swept into tidal zone, no recovery). Structural debris CRITICAL collapse throughout. Something in the debris field that the Dredge Compact refuses to name.
No living contacts in this hex. The Observatory archivist (Greenwich) is the closest thing to a guide for what might be found here — from a safe distance.
Elevated south London. Where the surviving city is actually trying to function.
The largest survivor settlement in London. The Tideline Authority's operational capital. The closest thing to a city still functioning.
Tideline Authority (formal). Five neighborhood councils that barely agree on anything (actual).
Food — the most food in one place south of the flood line. Medical care. Two functioning clinics. Solar-powered electricity. Twelve hours per day. A real market. Not black market — actual commerce. Gene-forged operators are common here. No scrutiny.
Five neighborhood councils. If they stop cooperating, the settlement fractures. Running out of food. Six to eight weeks from crisis. Leadership knows. Leadership is not saying. Informant network — the councils watch each other, not just outsiders. NAF considers Brixton Rise the most significant non-NAF power center in London.
Food. The crisis is coming. It is already here on the ledger. Long-term infrastructure. Everything is patched, not fixed. Trust between councils. It is wearing.
The settlement operates on the assumption that the Walthamstow Ridge food supply chain remains functional. If the Dredge Compact succeeds in making that supply economically unviable — or if the Hackney Wetlands organism expands to disrupt the northern routes — Brixton Rise has six weeks of reserve food. After that: hardship rationing, then crisis.
Ration reduction sparks friction between councils. Council 3 (Coldharbour Lane block) has already discussed separating from the coalition and making a direct deal with NAF. If food drops below 70% of current allocation, that conversation becomes a vote.
Five council offices open. Market active. Medical intake ongoing. Risk: council politics, informant surveillance, queue pressure at food distribution.
Black market operates on three streets. Gene-forged operators socialize openly in certain establishments. Risk: council enforcement varies by district — Council 4 runs night patrols.
Brixton Hill at 7am: the food distribution queue stretches four blocks before the market opens. Solar panels catch the morning light. Somewhere a generator is running. It sounds healthy. For now.
COUNCIL CHAIR FATIMA ADEYEMI (Council 1). CAN GET: Tideline governance access, civilian network introductions, resource authorization, political intelligence across south London. WANTS: the Council 3 back-channel communication with NAF documented and stopped without becoming a public fracture. FEARS: losing the coalition and with it, the settlement's ability to function.
DR. YUSUF IBRAHIM, clinic lead. CAN GET: medical access, injury intelligence, contamination data, off-grid treatment. WANTS: someone to take the contamination case data north and get it to the observatory at Greenwich. Doesn't trust Tideline comms right now. FEARS: what the contamination spread means if it reaches the settled population.
TASH, black market food coordinator (Council 3 aligned). CAN GET: food supply chain intelligence, black market access, Council 3 political positioning, back-channel communications. WANTS: to know if the NAF deal being discussed by Council 3 is real or negotiating theater. FEARS: being on the wrong side of whatever comes next.
The intersection of legitimate commerce, black market, and faction intelligence operations. Everyone buys here. Everyone watches here.
Peckham High Street is still above water. Side streets flood intermittently — boats dock at the east end of the market from the flood zone. Three factions run buyers here. The Tideline Authority has a warden who is definitely on someone else's payroll.
Everything the black market offers. Direct access from flood zone (boats). Intelligence from three factions operating simultaneously. Peckham Market is where things that can't be moved officially get moved.
Dead drops and buyer operations make this a surveillance environment. Multiple factions means multiple intelligence collection operations. The warden on someone's payroll doesn't know you've noticed.
Dredge Compact buyer (salvage acquisition; wants first refusal on anything server-related); Black Reach dead drop handler (will not confirm who they work for; will pay well); Tideline warden whose loyalties are complicated (market access, civilian intelligence, and a secret).
The primary east-west transit corridor for south London. The elevated DLR track, still structurally sound. Nobody fixed the trains but the tracks are a walkway.
Controlling Lewisham means controlling movement between east and west south London. Three factions have been arguing about this for four months. The argument is about to resolve violently. The structural assessment of the elevated track has not been completed. Someone should complete it before more people rely on it.
The transit route itself. Access to east and west south London that bypasses flood zones. Strategic control of a chokepoint.
Active territorial dispute. The resolution is coming. Being here when it resolves is a problem. Structural integrity of the elevated tracks is unknown — one section near the station center makes a sound it probably shouldn't.
DLR track maintenance worker who knows the structural assessment and hasn't told any of the factions (yet); faction coordinator who wants a neutral party to broker the transit agreement before the shooting starts; civilian community rep who uses the tracks daily and cannot afford for this to go wrong.
The Crystal Palace transmitter mast. 40km broadcast radius. The most valuable communications infrastructure in London.
A NAF signal team and their civilian contractors maintain the transmitter. The Tideline Authority wants shared access for a governance broadcast. NAF is saying no. The transmitter was sabotaged three weeks ago and the saboteur has not been identified. The civilians caught in the middle have started quietly asking each other whether they should be elsewhere.
The transmitter — if you control it, you control broadcast communications for 40km. This is enough to shape public understanding of the governance situation significantly.
NAF active security. The unknown saboteur. Civilians with complicated loyalties who are watching everything. The NAF signal team has been told to treat any Tideline approach as a security incident.
NAF signals commander (official, cautious; wants the sabotage investigation completed before anything else moves); Tideline liaison attempting to negotiate access (committed, increasingly desperate; the governance broadcast needs to happen before NAF spins the meeting outcome); civilian transmitter technician who knows the sabotage was internal (NAF, not Tideline) and hasn't decided what to do with this.
Four active factions. Each one is trying to solve a resource problem. None of them are winning cleanly. The map shifts every session — advance every faction's Move by one step before play begins.
Three tables. Roll on the one that matches where you are. These are situations, not enemy counts. Shooting is one option.
Six seeds. Each one runs on systems already in play. None of them resolve cleanly.
Recover replacement parts for the Hampstead Heights water turbine before it fails. The parts are in a submerged warehouse in Bethnal Green — wading tier at low tide, swimming tier at high.
72 hours. After that, NAF institutes emergency water rationing and the civilian situation at Hampstead Heights deteriorates into something it cannot recover from before winter.
Black Reach has the same warehouse flagged for server hardware. Their dive team is en route. The warehouse has one access point and the building's collapse risk just moved to MODERATE.
Extract a specific civilian from Notting Hill before the NAF census sweep completes and they are detained.
The sweep reaches Notting Hill in 18 hours. Moving fast enough to beat it means moving loud. Loud means Noise Signature.
The civilian knows something about Black Reach's client identity — something they overheard in a building they weren't supposed to be in. Both NAF and Black Reach want them. The civilian wants to reach the Tideline Authority. These things are not compatible.
Serve as security detail for the Tideline Authority delegation to the NAF governance meeting.
Meeting begins in 24 hours. The Tideline Authority has just received intelligence suggesting NAF has already decided the outcome. The delegation is not withdrawing.
Someone is going to attempt to prevent the Tideline negotiator from reaching the meeting. You do not know who. NAF security does not know you know. The Tideline Authority does not know there is a threat — they think they just have a bad deal waiting for them.
Recover a specific server rack from a specific basement in the Vault District, intact.
Structural collapse timeline on the target building: five to ten days on the worst dive survey estimate. Today might be day eight. Nobody knows for certain.
Black Reach wants the same rack and has already mapped the access route. The Dredge Compact controls the only other safe entry point and is not negotiating. Someone at Hampstead Heights is transmitting your operational details to an unknown party — and has been doing so for three days.
Track and neutralize the gene-forged aquatic organism expanding out of the Hackney Wetlands. It has killed three Dredge Compact dive operators in the past two weeks.
The Dredge Compact closes the eastern flood lane in 48 hours if the threat is not resolved. That shuts 40% of flood zone transit.
The organism is protecting something. Understanding what it is protecting may be more valuable — operationally, politically — than killing it. The biotech researcher in Hackney North knows what the organism was designed for. She hasn't told anyone.
Restore the Crystal Palace transmitter to full operational status and hold it for one transmission window.
6 hours. The Tideline Authority needs to broadcast a specific message across London before NAF can spin the governance meeting outcome to the civilian population.
The NAF rapid response team on the ridge received orders 40 minutes ago. The civilian contractors maintaining the transmitter will not leave the building without a safety guarantee. The transmitter has been sabotaged — and the sabotage was not done by the Tideline Authority. The saboteur is still on the ridge.
