Encounter desk

Honcho
Honcho can take over a sector-end terminal and redirect the run into an executive office and mail room. Finish the numbered-box sorting task before leaving the sequence.
Portrait
Portrait appears through a cracked mirror and creates a copy that follows the player’s movement. The encounter can also reproduce the item held during the interaction.
Teller
Teller turns a numbered service queue into a timed progression check.
Drones
Office drones shift positions around the route and can turn a normal corridor into a moving crowd hazard.
Ransom
Ransom interrupts the run with a demand that turns saved Gold into a survival resource.
Alma
Alma punishes the wrong camera attention and has generated conflicting launch-day counter reports.
