The crooked stair and silver-lined gallery Noor dug three metres under HAB 3 because Teo once said three metres is safe, which his x-ray finds on no sheet; and the in-world web page, shown for five frames at 29:47, whose scroll is the descent into it.

Teo said three metres of regolith keeps you safe from the sun, so Noor dug three metres, with a ration scoop and a robot's arm, and marked it on the wall: 1 M, 2 M, 3 M, SAFE FROM THE SUN. Down there are her sleeping bag, her drawings of rain she has never seen, a broken robot she uses as a night light, and a chalk window with Earth in it. The x-ray finds it before anyone knows she exists; a fan artist had drawn it a minute earlier, for fun. On the call she asks for its door and Teo draws it into Rev B. For five frames at the end its address is chalked on a torn scrap, and the page it leads to goes down the stair to a door in the floor with more stairs below.

Every line on this page is drawn from the lore: 153 sheets and 8,338 lines of Markdown in Aaron's series repo, each with exactly one tier. Change a line there and run lore.py publish, and every page of this course follows (this copy: built 23 October 2026 from 3ab0458).

Sources are in braces: {E2 25:20} is Episode 2 at 25:20, {E4 S17} a scene, {Aaron 2026-10-22} a decision of Aaron's. “edit” opens the line in the series repo, which is private: it works for Aaron and the crews; the sources are everyone's. Everything that isn't steel is free to change.
