Also my low-stakes conspiracy theory is that the "anchors" are some type of graviton stabilizer and the entire station will fall apart and get tossed into the blackhole (seeing it's in low orbit of it) once power goes offline (or somebody, aka the wetwork department's newest unwilling employee, removes them) so W-Y (or this universe's equivalent of it) can just write it off as a workplace accident and go on their merry way (except the power didn't cut off and/or the dying survivors hooked them up to backup power)
