Historical Chronicles
This location is the physical embodiment of Thorne's ideology: perfectly organized, sterile, and free of any organic imperfection. The sub-basement stretches infinitely, containing self-sorting scrolls, pneumatic data pipelines, and security scanners that read documentation. Barty infiltrates this clinical base through a ventilation tunnel, using bureaucratic loopholes and a data-shramming Chaos Curse to derail its security systems, eventually turning Thorne's beloved home of order into a digital nightmare of administrative confetti.
