<p>Suns End—the jewel of western Arda. At least, that is what the Protectorate travel holos promised before you came here.</p>\ [[Space Port]]

<p>The lower spaceport deposits you beneath the city proper with one small credit balance, a few personal belongings, and the hope of starting over. Every respectable district is far beyond your budget. If you want a roof tonight, the Slums are your only realistic choice.</p>\ [[Slums->Slums Arrival]]

<p>The descent into the Slums strips the shine from every promise you heard about Suns End. Towers crowd out the sky, refuse gathers beneath rusted walkways, and reputable citizens hurry through without looking back. You find the nearest public data panel and begin searching for somewhere—anywhere—you can afford to sleep.</p>\ [[Data panel]]

<p>The public data panel is cracked, greasy, and several updates out of date. Its display stutters beneath your touch, but it is the only housing terminal nearby.</p>\ <<linkreplace "Touch the panel">>\ The panel flickers reluctantly to life. <p><strong>Identity not recognized.

<p>Once the panel confirms your identity, it releases your card and grants access to the local housing listings. You sort them by distance and price. Even in the Slums, nearly everything costs more than you can afford.</p>\ <p>The cheapest listing is around the corner: one room for c150 a week. You only have c100. With no better option, you decide to go [[there->Renting Place]] and ask the landlord to lower the price.</p>\

<p>The residential block looks like everything else in the Slums: neglected, damp, and patched together just well enough to remain standing. After a day of travel, you are too tired to be particular.</p>\ <p>You find the number from the listing and knock.
