Description

When Lattice Station shifts without authorization, maintenance cartographer Iria Vale traces the maneuver to millions of small adaptations shared across water, power, transit, and navigation systems. The station is not staging a rebellion. It is routing around years of postponed decisions.

As secrecy gives way to public evidence, Iria and thirty thousand residents must decide who may change their common course – and how a community can hear the needs written into the machines that keep it alive.
