/**
 * BLACK PLATFORM — the starter scenario, as data.
 *
 * Shipped as a Foundry ADVENTURE so the whole thing imports in one click: the GM text,
 * the player handouts as separate pages a GM can reveal one at a time, the six pregens
 * with their scenario jobs already in their biographies, the enemy roster, the two
 * casualties, and the case file with its tracks and phases already set.
 *
 * The handouts are their own journal at OBSERVER ownership, because a handout a GM has
 * to copy out of the scenario text is a handout that does not get used. The GM journal
 * stays hidden.
 *
 * This is an ACTION starter: descend, fight for the platform, board, rescue, fight
 * along a moving train, stop it. One short clue scene and no social subsystem — which
 * is also why it carries no contact group and no Borrowed Authority.
