(Alpha Star System- Planet Cthelen)
(Hive City- Subsection Kappa Quadrant)
The Kappa Quadrant was known as the industrial heart of the Hive City with multiple factories, chemical plants, and other manufacturing buildings.
The air in the lower levels of the city was already quite dangerous but in the Kappa Quadrant it was far beyond what a normal human could endure.
Masks were mandatory when visiting this region of the city because the entire area was covered in a heavy fog of pollutants and toxic chemicals.
The genetically modified humans who worked in this section had been programmed with adaptions to handle spending prolonged periods of time in this toxic environment.
Still, one could see obvious traces of damage on their bodies.
Wounds, rashes, and chemical burns covered their skin and even the masks on their faces did little to stop the slow accumulation of micropollutants in their lungs.
