The carriage rumbles into the clean, pristine tunnels with the sound of heavy weaponry at the back. The booming wrath of Security, left behind.
And we're on our way - this tunnel leads to an unknown hub, another stop on the journey, and and eventually onwards still.
The Woodsies gather their wits, stack up nets, check the wooden bulwarks. We made it. Seems... Everyone is here? Is anyone missing?
No, it doesn't seem so.
These tunnels are strange and long and winding and our intelligence is minimal, having barreled eaten with eaten cameras and trusting guts. Fox swears all the hard work getting sabotage and security overrides ready will pay off as RAU17 descends into chaos, which will cost REGENT sore - but we're on a journey into the unknown dark, with no guidance by the headlights of the carriage.
At least the Woodsie Snack Squires serves snacks.

Anyone in the front control compartment - or hackers with good access - can manipulate acceleration. For the sake of convenience, it's all been translated tile times. At present, the speed is 3, meaning 3 traintiles per point the train spends during downtime (if you must know, it has engine output 1 at this level, but it's no so relevant) or per turn during active engagement. This is a very slow, leisurely pace. Someone who falls off might even get back on - or you'd have time to run along side and investigate things.
It goes much, much faster.
The map display dispalys your overall journey, the current location, and the sub-locations on the track towards the next relevant point. At present, it'd be 30 or so train-tiles away, which are not entirely commensurate with 30 tiles of your on foot movement.
If you want to get there faster, speed up.
If you want to get there slower, slow down.
If something is *front of you* either speed up or slow down - the carriage will ram object but some things you don't want to collide with, such as the heavily reinforced security lockdown door we know will eventually be in our path and need to get opened.
