SURVEYOR SAYS

Transcript:
Gary: Okay. Gary Parkhurst, Surveyor. July 12 1984, preliminary site assessment and analysis for Terminus Island. Hard copy will be in the 18:00 telex.
Gary: Location, location, location. Far enough from heavily travelled shipping lines to manage visitors, close enough to blend in. Ideal location.
Gary: The place is unique-- not gonna be a destination resort, or bustling deep-water commercial port, that’s for sure. So, how do we get it up and running? Here’s the punch list...
Gary: The main structure is a fortress-- reinforced concrete poured in 1942, and an average thickness of 3 1/2 feet throughout. That’s the good.
Gary: The bad is that it’s covered in a festering mold-like moss that smells like a cadaver’s ass. Given the history of the place-- neither of those details should be surprising.
Gary: The Security Control Room is well positioned in the structure, but will need to be gutted and retrofitted with the latest electronics.
Gary: Locks, cameras and lighting on the long-term holding cells, interrogation rooms, living quarters - mineshafts - more on those, will all need to be replaced with updated technology.
Gary: The docks, sea tunnels and marine infrastructure are sound, but will need dredging and of course updated tech.
Gary: Look - I know that central has the contract for the build-out, and I’m not supposed to know shit, but this place will be in need of the whole nine yards. We’re talking heavy equipment, manpower, real power - okay, ‘nuff said, it’ll be in the report.
Gary: The helipad, while adequate in size, will need to be retrofitted to handle the gross weight of next-gen rotary wing aircraft.
Gary: Okay, there are numerous tunnels - sea, land and the mineshafts, throughout Terminus. While they provide freedom of movement to any area of the island, there is one concern.
Gary: They scare the shit out of me.
Gary: Back in ‘32 there was a mining accident that killed dozens of workers in those tunnels.
Gary: Definitely some weirdness going on down there that I can’t fucking explain. Suggest armed units clear those tunnels before any work begins.
Gary: Finally, the buried lead: Power. The coal from the mines has been gutted long ago.
Gary: For the kind of draw needed in the specs, you’re looking at either a hydro-electric, or nuclear system. Anything else, would be insufficient.
Gary: Look-look-- it’s all in the report. I-I-I’m getting the fuck off this putrid rock. Out.
