Round four of the Imperial Dungeon Games is called Hold, which the schedule runs as a four-hour defence of one marker by every surviving faction at once. Blackforge drew the eastern approach, a hundred and ninety metres of open stone with two lanes running into it.
Cain Dorr came onto that floor at the second hour with six carriers walking behind him in file. Nothing in the six had been bred, hatched or contracted, which the panel settled inside the opening minute.
[Carrier frames: six. Origin: manufactured.]
[Housing contents: registered signatures.]
An artificial frame is a grown body with a fitting where a core belongs. The stock is farmed, the fitting is a piece of engineering, plus what sits inside it once belonged to a person who is dead.
The registry keeps a signature when a ranked hunter dies, since a death benefit cannot be filed against a name by itself. Twelve of those signatures came out of the transmitter chamber under the condemned north-east district.
