Level 37.9

The air here hangs heavy…Level 37.9 is a sub-level between Level 37 and Level 38, sharing characteristics of both Levels.
==Description==
Level 37.9, also know as Polluted Pools, or Poolution consists of two sections: The Pools and The Houses.
===The Pools===
The Pools are the area wanderers find themselves in after first entering the level. Level 37.9's pools resemble those of Level 37 in structure, being a complex of tiled rooms with shallow water. However, the Level's environment is drastically different. Level 37.9's air is similar to that of Level 38 in being uncomfortably warm and humid, as well as heavily polluted. Unprotected exposure to the air can cause several negative symptoms, with prolonged exposure possibly resulting in death. The water of the Level is also polluted, appearing a murky green. Sediment floats within the water, mostly consisting of clumps of dust particles and unidentified biological matter. This mixture of detritus gives the water a strange smell. Ingesting this water is not recommended, as it contains a variety of diseases, including the Hydrolitis Plague. It is highly recommended to wear protective gear to avoid ailments within the air and water.Unlike Level 37, Level 37.9's tiling appears to be in a decrepit state. In many places, the tiles are slimy and covered in mold. Many are also cracked and have fallen from the walls. Occasionally, tiles can fall from their places, potentially injuring wanderers. Additionally, some rooms and halls in the level are tiled in a brick-like manner. These sections are in a less damaged state then the rest of The Pools, and have a lower chance of tiles falling, although the ever-present danger of pollution remains. The bricked areas also can get narrower, with some sections being only a few feet in diameter. Strangely, the water in the bricked rooms also contains a small amount of Cashew Water.
Some of Level 37.9's pools are deeper than the rest, reaching a maximum depth of ten feet. Supplies ranging from Almond Water to flashlights can occasionally be seen at the bottom of these pools. However, attempts to retrieve these supplies manually are unadvised, as there is a chance for you to ingest the polluted water. ￼
===Transit===
Precise information about transit from The Pools to The Houses is currently unavailable, as there are many conflicting reports from wanderers who travelled between the two. Known methods of transit are listed below:
Entrance method 	Confirmed Cases	Notes
Entering a sewer drain 	12 	Can also lead to Level 49
Random Noclipping 	7 	Seems to work best in the bricked sections
Climbing a ladder and opening a hatch	11 	Wanderers are encouraged to be careful, as polluted water falls out of the opening
Climbing a flight of stairs 	23 	Most commonly reported entrance, same warning as before.
===The Houses===
Apon entering The Houses of Level 37.9, wanderers will find themselves at the bottom of a pool. The depth and type of the pool varies, with both in-ground and above-ground pools being reported. Due to these pools also being polluted, wanderers should exit them as soon as possible. It is possible to re-enter The Pools area by opening a hatch at the bottom of the pool.The first thing one notices upon exiting the pool is the house. Houses in this section are singular suburban homes with architecture being most similar to those in Level 38 and Level 38.1, although some houses have also been recorded to resemble those of American suburbs. Around the house is a stone wall around the height of an average adult human. Attempts to scale the wall are futile, as it appears to grow in length the closer one is to the top, despite appearing the same to an external observer. Other houses and trees can be seen beyond the wall but cannot be accessed. The air around the house has a worse level of pollution than the air in the previous section, so it is advisable to enter the houses, where the level of pollution is somewhat lower, although protective equipment should still be worn. Unlike the ones on Level 38, the rooms inside of the houses are spacious, with rooms containing little furniture or debris. The insides of houses are non-Euclidian and contain more rooms than thought possible by the size. Additionally, notes and supplies left by wanderers can be frequently found in the houses, suggesting that there are a finite number of houses, the number of which is estimated to be from about 80 to 300.
==Entities==
The only confirmed entity is the Hydrolitis Plague, which is found in the polluted water.
Symptoms of the plague include:
*Fever and chills
*Weakness
*Abdominal pain
*Vomiting
There are unconfirmed reports of Smilers in the house's basements. ￼
==Colonies==
Despite wanderers being able to interact, establishment of a colony is infeasible due to the ambient environmental risk.
==Entrances==
*Entering a polluted hallway in Level 37.1 leads one here.
*Noclipping through a manhole in Level 603 might send one here.
*Corridors in Level 34 can lead here.
*Noclipping in Level 290 sends one to the brick sections of The Pools.
* Exiting Level 4's windows during the summer has a chance to send one here.
==Exits==
*Entering sewer pipes sends one to Level 49, or rarely Level -206
*Breaking through the wall surrounding one of the houses sends one to Level 9, Level 9.2, Level 38, or Level 85
*Entering a house's attic has a low chance to send one to The Attic or Level 28
