Dark Zone
Beyond Wall Sina are 7 layers with toxic air, oil fields and rifts. Land cannot be claimed, and land activity is not automatically logged. Killing still has consequences; field equipment can keep its own records.
Wall Sina
A row of Svitanok stabilisers with a red field between them. You can walk through — it stops nobody.
The wall marks a change in conditions, not a locked border. Prepare your respirator and expedition equipment before crossing.

Mask
A respirator with a filter reduces toxic exposure. Filters wear out, so carry spares.
Filters
White, yellow, black: the deeper you go, the better the filter the mask and the scrubber need.
Room and scrubber
Keep an Air Scrubber running in a sealed room for clean air. Deeper layers also require fuel.
