The maintenance tunnel swallows the substation noise, leaving only dripping concrete and their hurried footfalls. The Dockhand keeps glancing over his shoulder, then blurts that Thorne has a second facility, off-book and off-manifest.
The Dockhand
It is real, I swear. No paperwork, no listed route. They move the stuff there before it hits the regular chain.
Mara slows beside a rusted junction box, eyes sharpening. If the Dockhand is telling the truth, this hidden place is the artery feeding every hit against O'Malley's.
Mara Keene
Then that is the heart of it. Give us the location, and we cut Thorne off at the source.
Scott O'Malley
Where is it?
The Dockhand
Near the waterfront, old cannery ground. They only open it after dark, through a service gate marked for scrap.
Water drips off the tunnel ceiling as the path forward changes. This is not another dead-end, it is a direct route to the hidden supply line keeping Marcus Thorne's pressure on the pub alive.

Scott O'Malley leaves High-security electrical substation behind and arrives at old cannery.
“I tell the Dockhand to lead the way to the old cannery.”
SUCCESS (Good Agility, rolled -2)
The old cannery crouches against the waterfront, corrugated steel sweating salt and rust in the dark. A scrap-marked service gate stands half in shadow, with pallets, chain, and a dead security lamp crowding the lane.
Scott reaches the gate with Mara and the Dockhand behind him, and the Dockhand stops short, staring at the markings like they might bite.
The Dockhand
This is it. If they see me here, I am done.
Mara Keene
Stay with us. Point it out, and we end this cleanly.
Scott O'Malley
Lead us to the gate.
The Dockhand swallows hard, then moves. He takes them straight to the service gate, keeping low as if the metal itself might recognize him.
The marked entrance looms ahead, and somewhere beyond it, unseen machinery hums once, then goes quiet.
Enter the cannery facility
