		Azra: Side of the building, keypad by the frame. The old code's on the sheet. [#end]
			Read it. Key it exactly. Old machines forgive nothing.
	else
		Azra: You lost it? The sheet that says NEVER WHERE A PLAYER CAN SEE?
		- Yes, I'm sorry [#get_lost_quest_items]
			Azra: *He copies it out fresh, block letters, and presses it into your palm. Again.* [#end]
				A record only dies with its last copy. You came closer than you know. Go.
else
	Azra: *The terminal's amber glare sits over his shoulder: INSERT CARD. Azra is grinning at it like it said something clever.*
		A membership card. Personalized, mag-striped, printed at the counter in there by somebody who's been dust for decades. Every card that ever walked out of this place walked into the war.
	Azra: But nobody who actually ran a place like this waited on cards. Shift kids. A service door round the side.
		Every system has official rules and real ones. The real ones get written down where the manager can't see.
	Azra: *From a salvage crate: a service binder, swollen with damp, an arcade-strip stamp on the spine. Pressed flat inside the cover, a strip of masking tape.*
		The old operator's code. Written down by somebody who was told not to write it down.
		Everything that survived the war survived because someone made a copy they weren't supposed to. This one's ours now.
	- Why not key it in yourself?
		Azra: *The grin goes somewhere else.*
			The last time I went through a door marked DON'T, it cost me everything but my name. I made promises.
			The tape goes in your pocket, not mine.

	if is_quest_accepted:
		Azra: [quest: accepted] [#end]
			*He presses the tape flat into your palm.*
			The old code. Side door, keypad by the frame.
			Read the sheet. Key it exactly. Old machines forgive nothing.
	else:
		Azra: [quest: declined] [#end]
			*He smooths the tape back into the binder.*
			It survived the end of the world. It'll survive you thinking it over.

		Narrator: *The keypad keeps its small amber glow behind you.* [#end]

	Narrator: *The keypad waits by the service door, patient as furniture. Six worn keys and, without the sheet, no order to press them in.* [#end]

	Narrator: *A squat pre-war building, windows boarded from the inside. VIRTUAL ARENA in dead channel letters. Through the wall, faint and regular, something holds a note and lets it go.* [#end]

Narrator: *You unfold the tape. The old code is still there, in that irritated hand.*

=> door_1

~ inside
Narrator: *The last two keys. A pause long enough to doubt the whole idea. Then the lock throws itself back like it's been waiting decades for the exercise.*
Narrator: *Inside: ranks of cabinets under dust tarps, an attendant's counter, a wall of coin lockers. Dead, all of it - except one aisle, lit end to end, leading to a bank of upright pods with glass lids.*
	*The air smells of ozone and carpet that outlived its warranty.*
Narrator: *Above the pods, a board. Amber letters, still cycling.* [#complete_quest]
	*LEAGUE STANDINGS. The top line is lit: three letters, S.E.R., and a score longer than the screen wants to show. Every line below it is dark.*
	*The score ticks up while you watch.*
- Look around
	Narrator: *The coin lockers along the wall hang open and empty. All but one. On its door, a brass tag, stamped with the same three letters.* [#load_quest=f2ad1747-e185-4e7f-9529-464d1765ab07]
