Act 3, Culmination of Conflicts
What Happens
The environment collapses beyond the last viable threshold. The urgency becomes terminal. Everything accelerates into chaos, organized and otherwise.
Key Beats
- The specific moment the atmosphere passes the point of no return: GAIA knows the exact second
- Organized chaos: the exodus machinery running at maximum, things breaking and being fixed and breaking again
- Cache's final sweep of Old Arcadia: looking for anyone still alive, anyone who hasn't heard, anyone who can still make it
- Aphrodite coordinating the last boarding sequences
- GAIA beginning to prepare her final message, quietly, between everything else
