Yeah... Neither of you read the book carefully it says and I quote The Burning Archipelago’s trade has come to a halt, with even the normally prominent corporate satellites going eerily quiet. Stores find their shelves emptied, unable to receive stock in any straightforward fashion. The price of goods has gone up astronomically, with many goods available only via aftermarket routes. Though travel within the Archipelago itself is unimpeded, existence is precarious in these bubbled cities; being virtually cut off from the rest of the Pact Worlds proves just how true that sentiment is. Despite interruptions to commerce, the daily life of an average resident remains unchanged. The primary tension stems from lashuntas in Asanatown, who were unwelcoming to outsiders at the best of times and have completely locked down following the Crash. Wild conspiracies fill the streets, with some implying that the sun may begin to expand rapidly and consume the Burning Archipelago at any moment. Nothing about the tunnel closing or being cut off from the rest pact worlds just the trade being shutdown because of the crash
