You are about to enter a room that is not on the lease.

Every Continuance Event this Department has ever opened is, by policy, never closed. Forms loop. Attempts accumulate. Nothing resolves. This was not a flaw in the design. It was the design.

Somewhere below the sub-basement, off every floor plan and every budget line, staff found another way to close a file: not by finishing it, but by wagering it. The room is sometimes called 4B, though it appears on no directory, under no name, in no section — including Section 4(b), which does not exist, unless you already know that it does.

Chips are not currency. They represent nothing, and they represent everything a file was ever worth. If you lose all of them, you are delisted. Not fired. Not banned in any file. Simply no longer permitted through this door, on this device, ever again — a determination the building itself seems to remember, even when no one else does.
