Black Well Radio Resource System
The radio station is a resource machine. Every route spends time, breath, power, or nerve.
Resource meanings
Power keeps the console, relay, lighting, and ventilation decisions alive. Air is the strictest safety timer. Signal decides what can reach the surface. Composure determines whether the player can interpret recordings without turning clues into commands.
Tape Evidence is the proof layer. It comes from archive search, frequency recording, reverse playback, cutting the third segment, and relay investigation. Noise tracks how contaminated the station signal feels.
Recoverable versus dangerous
Evidence gaps are recoverable. Return to the Tape Archive, Monitoring Room, Edit Room, or Relay Shaft when a final route asks for more proof.
Resource and safety failures are more dangerous. Low Air, dead Power, and collapsed Composure can force warning scenes or bad outcomes. Fix those before touching the master fader.
Final route checks
Silent Broadcast needs enough evidence, a cut third segment, and usable signal. Reverse Testimony needs deeper evidence, reverse coordinates, and stable composure. Hand-Crank Escape needs the crank and safe air. Stay in the Well needs full evidence and a cut relay.
Clear Broadcast can look like success when evidence is thin, which is why the resource guide treats it as a surface rescue loop rather than a complete solution.
