Maintenance & Janitorial

We Fix What We Can. We Mop the Rest.

The unsung crew that keeps the station running, and dry.

Someone has to keep the lights on, the corridors dry, and the doors from squeaking. That someone is us. We have been here since day one, quietly, with a mop and a good attitude. Most of our best work is never noticed, which is exactly how we like it.

Sub-Offices

Repair & Patchwork

Fixes what breaks with tape, patience, and the occasional act of genuine genius. Never takes credit.

Spill Response

A joint operation with Soup Infrastructure. Rapid, kind, and entirely without judgment.

Squeak Abatement

Hunts squeaky hinges. Wins, mostly. The remaining three are considered pets.

The Supply Closet

Contains everything and nothing you need, arranged by a logic only Maintenance understands.

Corridor Cleaning

Keeps the floors safe, which is ironic given Hallway 3. We clean it anyway. We do not encourage it.

Quiet Heroics

Does the unnoticed work. The station runs because of this office. The station rarely knows.

Standing Procedures

  • Leave it better than you found it. Even a little counts.
  • Every creature has spilled. Cleanup is never a scolding.
  • A squeak reported is a squeak halfway fixed.
  • Thank the maintenance crew. They will be embarrassed. Do it anyway.
