Flooded street-level base of Gorodskie Ekho. 40 feet below the new ground floor. 4 million unregistered residents. No faction governs it. Several have tried.
The lowest inhabited zone of Gorodskie Ekho — the original street level, now permanently flooded to forty feet. Four million unregistered residents have built a functioning informal city in the flooded corridors, canal networks, and structural voids of the original architecture.
No faction administers The Soak. The EO tried twice. The Syndicate controls the entrances but not the interior. What governance exists is local, territorial, and enforced by people with nothing to lose and nowhere else to go.
