 | 🗣️ **PCs try to report the Highwaymen, Arr, or Honga** | The Investigator sighs, pulling a blank form. "Outside the town limits. File a wilderness hazard report. It'll go to New Kourou next month." | The Troopers do not care about the wilderness. No action is taken. |

 === Phase 2 — Processing & The Search Sequence (Reactive Detention) ===
-If arrested, PCs are brought to the Guard Room. Their hands are bound with magnetic restraints. They are ordered to face the wall in a line. The Investigator states they will be shipped to New Kourou tomorrow. The Processing Trooper then searches them ONE BY ONE, moving down the line.

 | 🗣️ **A PC causes a distraction (talking back, resisting)** | The Trooper pauses the search to deal with the disruptive PC. | Requires a CHA (Deception/Intimidation) probe. Success: Buys the PCs further down the line an extra moment, granting them Advantage on their attempts to hide items or slip restraints. Failure: The disruptive PC takes a blow from a baton. |

 | 🗣️ **PCs attempt to talk to each other between cells** | Voices are muffled by the thick steel and timber. | If they shout, the Cell-Guard Bot bangs on the doors and threatens a stun-shock. If they whisper through the central air vents or under the door slits, they can communicate safely but cannot pass physical items. |

 === Phase 4 — The Breakout (Enabling the Escape) ===
-To survive, the PCs must utilize the rigid detention schedule and their specific cell resources. At 19:00, hot stew is served in highly polished metal bowls with hard polymer spoons. Simultaneously, the corridor heating system engages, creating a loud metallic hum that masks the sound of tampering.

 | **Trigger / Cue (Player Action)** | **Immediate Reaction** | **Clue / Consequence** |
 | 🔥 **A PC uses the hidden MATCHES** | Igniting the cot's bedding, clothing, or the AuroraSan's dry waste fills the confined cell with thick smoke, triggering a localized fire alert. | The Cell-Guard Bot immediately overrides the lock and opens the cell door to extinguish the flames. The PC must use this distraction to slip past the bot (DEX Acrobatics/Stealth) or ambush it, then manually unlock the other cells from the corridor terminal. |
