Ganymede
“Two floors deep, beneath the initial bank basement where the door was located, the “vaults” remained one of the safest corners of the city—the deepest, most secure, and most like a collection of ordinary homes.

Over in “Chinatown,” nearer the wall’s edge on the far side of King Street Sta...tion, the oriental workers kept stores of their own, as their food preferences did not strictly overlap with the doornails. But in the last year, some of the doornails had taken to wandering toward the Chinese kitchens in search of unfamiliar food—while likewise some of the Chinese had shown an interest in dried salmon, occasional fruit tarts, and intermittent baked sweets.

The halls were not particularly mazelike, and they were as well lit as anything else beneath the city’s surface.MoreLess
