A terror BD left looping in your skull, a MaxTac war-rig locking eyes, a cyberpsycho smiling with too many teeth. Something primal says run. The street says you can't.

A bass drop that left the world on mute, an EMP that fried the audio implant, a round too close to the skull. Night City doesn't whisper when you can't hear it — it just grins.

You can't see — a flashbang wash, a corrupted feed, a knife's worth of scar tissue over the optic. The city goes dark, and the street eats you.

Blackout. Flatline protocol. Somewhere a soul is being yanked toward Mikoshi while the body keeps the seat warm. The city doesn't stop for you.

The module's own per-turn hook, for a project whose host does not already run one. Register as a narrative GM instruction on post_gm_message. NOT registered in this project — the Signal Map here says "Host routes it", so the host's own per-turn instruction names Soundtrack Gate instead.

The install procedure for the Soundtrack for Craft module. Orbit reads this when asked to install the soundtrack — it surveys the project for whatever already describes the current scene, records the binding in the Soundtrack Signal Map, and builds a minimal signal file only when there is nothing to bind to.

The deep reference for the soundtrack module: the six scene signals and where they come from, how a cue is chosen and when it may be replaced, tagging discipline for the library, and why playback is a handoff rather than an embed.

Fires when the GM creates a Stored Soundtrack file.
