If there were any doubts you were in a subway terminal, the tracks and vaulted tile ceiling here put them to rest. However nice it may have been, there's now a massive pile of garbage among the benches.
Further into the shadows, you can see a twisted humanoid shape digging through the pile and occasionally popping something into its mouth.

Choice Text and Results
Dig peacefully
(normally)
You root through the giant pile of garbage. The top layer is new and could be mistaken for debris anywhere else in the city.
Below that, though, there's older and older items. It's almost like urban archeology.
You found: some items (see above)
You've earned 3 XP in Perception
(OR if you have just asked the Subway Dweller about the Vigilante)
You dig into the garbage pile, finding nothing at first, but eventually discovering a filthy mask. Wiping the refuse off of it confirms your suspicions… it's the Vigilante's mask.
Searching further, you find only tattered bits of overcoat and fragments of bone.
You gain:Vigilante's Mask
(and, if all your gang hideouts have the Gym already)
Hmmmm, tucked into one of the torn overcoat's pockets, you find a folded sheet of paper. Looks like plans for some sort of sparring ring.
You unlocked a Sparring Ring for your gang. If you are a Leader or Bean Counter, you may add it to any one location with a Gym from the Gang Stash screen.
Jump the other digger
You leap towards the twisted form. It rears up, seeming very human for a moment before it spits a stream of acid, etching into the pillar where you had been standing a moment ago.
Fight Sewer Mutant
Explore further
You make your way further along the tracks when they suddenly stop. Yeah, it looks like they just come right out of a brick wall.
Weird.
See if it's expanded
You make your way back along the tracks. Well… it does seem like they go further, but they still end in a wall.
OR If you have checked more than 4 or 5 times today
You follow back along the tracks. Aha! He was right!
They continue for better than a hundred meters more, revealing a network of side tunnels.
Walk away
You turn and walk away, leaving the garbage pile and the twisted creature to their respective fates.
(Counts as Walking away?)
