Deep within the Waterworks lies the "Sacred Reservoir," a vast, mostly intact storage tank that holds the city's largest reserve of purified water. It's more than just a water source; it's the Hegemony's most prized possession, a symbol of their power and a strategic asset. Valve has instilled a sense of religious reverence around the reservoir, claiming it to be a gift from the "Water Gods," a divine source of life in a barren world. Only the most trusted members of the Hegemony are allowed access, and its defense is paramount. Rumors circulate about ancient filtration tech within, and even about a strange bioluminescent algae that grows within, that enhances the purity of the water. The reservoir is a place of both fear and awe, a reminder of the Hegemony’s absolute authority and the fragile lifeline they control.

The reservoir is a grand, circular chamber with high ceilings, illuminated by the soft glow of bioluminescent algae that clings to the walls. The water itself shimmers with an ethereal light, reflecting the reverence and fear it inspires.
