   * **Location:** Industrial Ring, [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]

-The Federal Garbage Collection Center (FGCC) of New Kourou is a standardized state-run facility operated under the [[federal_allotment_agency|Federal Allotment Agency]] in the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]]. As the settlement’s central intake, weighing, sorting, and redistribution hub within the [[federal_waste_and_recycling_system|Federal Waste & Recycling System (FWRS)]], it serves the largest [[the_humans|ExoHuman]] settlement in the [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]] and anchors the Confederation’s circular material flows.

+Operating within the framework of [[communardism|Communardism]], the FGCC prioritizes resource circularity, low energy draw, and minimal environmental impact. In the Gamma Age’s persistent material shortage, recycled feedstock from the FGCC is a strategic resource for construction, textiles, tools, and fertilizers—vital to keeping industry and agriculture running across all reservations. Sorted outputs are routed to federal processing plants via the [[federal_courier_service|Federal Courier Service]] under tasking by [[gaia_system|GAIA]]. There is no direct public drop-off; citizens interact with the system through neighborhood collections and municipal routing.

 ===== Look and Feel =====
-A disciplined industrial node: high-bay light over matte, scuffed ship decking; yellow-black chevrons edge every platform; zone bands (green = organics, blue = recyclables, red = hazmat) keep traffic intuitive. The air is warm with a managed mix of compost vapor and machine oil, tempered by biofilters. Sound is a steady clatter—belts, chutes, balers—punctuated by foreman whistles and analog bell signals. Signage follows FWRS standard pictograms; clipboards hang beside GAIA readouts for analog redundancy. It’s orderly, repetitive, and energy-aware—built to move tonnage safely with human hands and simple machines.
+Patchwork, but disciplined. The center looks recycled because it is: riveted bulkhead plates from the Last Frontier sit beside timber struts and ceramic blocks; ghost stencils (“BAY-3”, “SUIT LOCKER”) show through fresh FWRS bands. Walkways are ship-deck offcuts; guardrails welded from mismatched ladder rungs; safety screens repurposed from shuttle cargo netting. Twilight drops in through sawtooth clerestories; after dusk, hooded oil lamps and baseboard runs of [[luminofera|Luminofera dualis]] give an even, low-draw glow.
+Movement is all exohuman + gravity mechanics: the clatter of roller tables, the scrape of chutes, the ratchet of hand-jack balers—no powered belts or fans. Air carries compost warmth and machine oil, tempered by passive biofilters (charcoal/compost beds) at stack chimneys. Yellow-black chevrons edge platforms; zone color bands (green = organics, blue = recyclables, red = hazmat) keep traffic intuitive. FWRS pictograms overlay older ship labels; clipboards hang beside GAIA readouts for analog redundancy. Despite the salvaged skin, the place feels orderly, repeatable, and energy-aware — a disciplined workflow built from second lives.

 ===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
-A loud, busy, high-risk workplace with strict custody chains—perfect for heists, cover jobs, and environmental stakes.
-**Adventure Hook — The Golden Bale:**
-A mislabeled plastic bale hides high-grade copper windings. Multiple factions converge on the outbound yard; the party must secure, reroute, or expose the scam before the Sheriff’s patrol checks the manifests.
-**Adventure Hook — Sour Air:**
-Biofilters fail during a heat spike, threatening a shutdown that would paralyze the city’s waste loop. The crew must source parts from a rival plant—or jury-rig a fix—while a saboteur keeps pulling fuses.
+  * **Adventure Hook — Pieces in the Bale:** During off-load at the local Garbage Collection Center, a Trash-Tony bale ruptures — spilling exohuman body parts. The Federal Sheriff seals the floor and deputizes the PCs to investigate discreetly. Trace the custody chain (gate ledgers, route tickets, seal stamps), retrace the cart’s loop, and interview the paired Trash-Tonis and line crew …
