“Do you really think I won’t have your skin? Your friends were already on this train. Six other times. One group was much larger than your group now. They tried blocking the door too. Such beautiful leather. Come now. Open it up. Join us. It will only hurt for but a moment.” -- Dismember^[1]

The Dismemberment Limited is a named train on the Fourth Floor Iron Tangle.^[2]

Description

The Dismemberment Limited is a sleek, white maglev train that moves almost silently on a monorail line. The first car is aerodynamic and sleek with a fully glass nose (similar to a B-17 chin turret), and pulls only two cars behind it. The train can only be entered and exited from the first car.^[2]

The train runs a rapid 48-minute loop, including Station 149 on the Ochre Line and Station 281 on the Mauve Line.^[2]^[3] From the station, the train appears to be empty except for its engineer, Levi the 7th, who sits at a control dashboard in the glass cockpit inside of the first car. When crawlers enter the car, they will find it empty of seats and absolutely crusted in blood.^[2]

As the train begins to move, the Levi is on the Menu Quest triggers, and hundreds of Fleshers controlled by Dismember appear on the crawlers' minimaps.^[2]

Story

Book 3

The Royal Court of Princess Donut takes the Dismemberment Limited from station 149 to try to meet up with the Nightmare Express and get to station 436. The train pulls into the station, and Levi the 7th begs them not to get onto the train.
