User blog:Kadjem/IC Journal Entry: Scarlett - Building a New Pit

Construction on the new Pit at Offut has begun. It is amazing what can get done when the 'Stars' push hard enough.Navy SeeBee's, Air Force Construction Crews, and Army Corps of Engineers, all working together, along with Civilian Contractors. All sworn to secrecy, under penalty of Treason, of course, but working together, nonetheless.

They have begun cleaning out the old SAC Base, and would you believe, we've kicked out over 100 squatters. People living in the dark, without power, without food, without cooling sources. I've prevented the M.P.'s from arresting them for tresspassing on Government Property, but I haven't decided if I am doing them a favor or not. At least in the detention center I wuld not be subjecting them to going back out into the streets, to become victims of the crimes they took shelter from... but If I let them be arrested, they would loose their freedom, only because they couln't find work, couldn't find a place in the shelters...


 * sigh*

Back to a status reports. The Runways and Hangars have been cleared and are ready for a slow movement of our planes in. The power has been restored to the Command Level, and once the debris is clared away, and all the smell is aired out, the real clean up and prep work can be done for the massive computer systems that will be the brains of the Joe Op Center.... The Engineers are already talking about the cooling requirements. Dome Stadium sized A.C. units? I knew our Computers generated alot of heat... but my God, that just sounds... wrong.

Oh what now? I'll be back later.... Something happened.
