Loading Bay Waste Incinerator

The waste incinerator in the loading bay is the silent catalyst of this event, its unauthorized activation serving as an ominous clue that something is amiss aboard the Wheel. Though physically absent from the Operations Room, its 'ghostly' use is the subject of urgent discussion, symbolizing the unseen threats lurking within the station’s systems. The incinerator’s activation—undetected until Lernov notices it—represents a breach in the Wheel’s operational security, a chink in the armor that could be exploited by saboteurs or Cybermen. Its role is purely narrative here: a trigger for paranoia, a question mark hanging over the crew’s trust in their own infrastructure.
