Triyun Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 The unmarked C-130 plane touched down in Fiji quietly filled with several men in their thirties and forties. They were all carefully chosen. Bi-lingual in english with a distinct North American accent and Chinese with a Beijing accent. This Fiji military base had been Greater Pacifica's for a long time, but they still knew the lay out quite well. Few things had changed. "Men, your orders are to speak in english whenever possible. You are too interact with soldiers as little as possible here. If the person you meet doesn't have a pair of stars on his shoulders, you are not too ask questions. We are contractors for a new catering system. Understood?" he asked. "Yes sir!" they all said rising too attention. "Building seven sub basement will be the main area we'll be working out of. There is an entrance to main frame 2 there. We'll begin the upload project there." he said. "Move out." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triyun Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 OOC: Basically we are talking about an underground facility that was sealed off when the bases in Fiji were lost by the UFE. Its been sealed this entire time and operated the standard air filtration system you'd expect in such an underground facility. Even if left completely unmaintained it should be able to function fine, or if there is a problem it'd be with minimum repair or loss of data.

Lynneth Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 OOC: Problem with sealing stuff in, without proper maintenance, any system will break down eventually regardless of how well it was made. Vacuum seals first and power first (no power plant goes that long without refueling), which in turn kills air filtration. With the seals broken, water and contaminated air could get in, thus allowing bacteria inside. There's a million factors why this complex should be half-flooded now, especially because it's on an island, where you have aquifiers.

Uberstein Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) OOC: How did the vacuum seals stay maintained with no power? Though non-acidic paper could survive if handled very delicately when recovered and was stored in plastic bins. But I don't think he RP'd that.

Triyun Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 OOC: Its my understanding that the base never fell out of service. On top of that, something which has a vacuum seal generally stays sealed by the vacuum itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamthey Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) OOC: I guess the lesson we should all take from this is that its better not to try to actually attempt to RP continuity.

[/quote] OOC: The lesson is you shouldn't use posts from more than a year ago where the player hadn't even RPd the base being finished because that's just silly. Continuity is fine. Taking things that were never RPd finished and saying they're done isn't. :V Also, Triyun probably couldn't use most of that stuff, anyways, as his tech - 200 - is good enough for cold war stuff.

Triyun Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 OOC: Or it could be that terms are about to end and my tech will leap frog forward and I would be RPing over a few weeks retrieving it. But instead, I'm just going to recover the tech from Palintine as I own the territory and I gave Hawk all of it when I quit rather than RP a story line, I used the base in a lot of operations but I'll just do this rather than go dumpster diving for your !@#$% and giggles.

Uberstein Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 OOC: It isn't !@#$ and giggles, make sure it has an RP background is to prevent god modding. As far as I can tell Lynneth was doing his job. Sorry that you didn't feel like RPing a storyline. A shame, they're fun to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
