Cut the register mechanic, the census creature, the paperwork route and half the clues. The under-twelves know Mr Smith's song from the nightly creche speaker, so Act Three is a choice: burn the tape and take the children into care, keep the families below, or cure them with a cut tape first.

/**

|
* STANDING ORDER — the three-act crossing case, as data.
|
|
*
|
|
* Unlike the other scenarios this one is not transcribed by hand. The GM pages are read
|
|
* out of docs/scenarios/STANDING_ORDER.md at build time, one page per top-level section,
|
|
* so the compendium cannot drift from the document the desk playtests were run against.
|
|
* The cost is a small Markdown reader below, which handles exactly the constructs the
|
|
* house format uses and throws on nothing — an unknown construct comes through as a
|
|
* paragraph, which is visible in the journal rather than silently dropped.
|
|
*
|
|
* Two cast actors, and only two: the wardens the Controller sends in Act Two, and the man
|
|
* who leads them. Everybody else below is there to be talked to, and the quarantine unit
|
|
* is the bestiary's own. The detention fight is measured by tools/detention-tables.mjs
|
|
* against the declared cast, and the document cites that artifact.
