BROADCAST TOWER

Rises from Substrate to sky. Under construction. Helixion's endgame.

The foundation vibrates at 33hz — resonance with the Substrate, or extraction from it. The engineering is elegant and violent.

OVERVIEW

The tower rises from the Substrate through every layer of the city and out into open sky. It's still under construction — scaffolding, worker staging areas, equipment lifts running constantly. The foundation hardware is driven into living rock and vibrates at 33hz, resonant with the Substrate or extracting from it; the engineering is elegant and violent. Cables thick as arms run upward. Helixion calls it a communications infrastructure project. The Resistance calls it something else. Progress toward completion represents the Doom Pool indicator — the broadcast tower going live is an endgame condition.
