The Vermillion line

A Terminus Direct line, Katia guesses — the whole run in about a day, power still on, never used — whose train Hekla stole and Katia ploughed: station 72's Blister Ghoul generator, the overrun depot at 75, the thousand crawlers boxed in at 101.

Arc

Hekla's train with Katia on its nose (ch. 22); reversed out of 101 with a thousand aboard (ch. 24); its engine sent back down the line as a bomb (ch. 27); its track corked with a portal and its thirty stage-three monsters let past (ch. 27).
