You have to push the crates in the hallway into the water and then jump on them to get to the electrical panel and turn it off. The drain is down in the floor, you need to open that next. Did you get the rebreather in the vent tunnel when you were sneaking around the turret, or just put on the ballistic armor and run through?

Here's a little story about a lawless construction project. In 2007 and 2008, I lived in Nevada near a "town" called Crystal, which is basically just a few brothels and a bar and some desert folk. Crystal is northwest of Vegas about 100 miles and really close to Nellis Air Force base, home to Yucca Mountain and Area 51. Just to send home the size of this place and the isolation:   I heard at the bar about this crazy guy who was digging a giant pit and filling it with conex containers just down the street. He was supposedly completely unhinged and maybe schizophrenic but he had a shitload of family money from some major company like Nestle or something. Any part of his backstory could be complete bullshit or it could be entirely true just because of the type of people that end up living out in the desert in southern Nevada. A local in the bar told me that one of his tweaker equipment operators (supposedly hired tweakers exclusively because they were easy to fire at will and would work for drugs) broke some poo poo with a backhoe and his response was do do a flying two foot kick into the guy's chest while he was standing near the edge of the pit. He also reportedly would argue with himself in the bar mirror. So one day me and my roommate were bored and had heard just enough stories to check it out. We had a couple drinks at the bar and then went down the street to gawk at the pit. As soon as we pulled up, a big unchained guard dog ran out and confronted us. Crazy Tyler Durden lookin guy comes running up laughing kind of maniacally and says something like "Hey fellas what the gently caress is up?" and sent the dog off. We asked if we could see his pit and he took us over. At the time it was just a giant pit with a couple conex containers in the bottom on his 1-acre lot. He told us all about his pipe dream which included basically as many containers as he could fit into it, all linked together with stairwells, an elevator shaft made of a couple containers stood up on their ends, a "grotto with a waterfall" at one end, all kinds of other poo poo. The pit:  I think the lot to the northeast is his spoils from the pit. Alternately, it may be another pit. My geography is kind of hazy, but I thought I remembered the spoils pile lot being the one I stood at the edge of and looked down into. There may be a tunnel between the southwest pit and a bunker under the northeast pit. Every now and then I check out aerial imagery to see what's been done with it. No idea if it's even in the same hands anymore. But now it's for sale!! Pictures of its current state from Zillow:    I really want to call up the realtor and just hear what the process has been like. It has all the appearance of a meth-fueled project. I assume in these pictures it's actually been cleaned up a little bit. I remember from seeing it back in 2007 thinking it looked like a Mad Max movie set but way more unsafe. Zero fencing, no hard hats or vests, just grubby looking desert dwellers all over the place messing with rusty poo poo and driving equipment with no apparent organization.

Ablative posted:No one's nuking a shantytown in the Nevada desert (anymore) so you'd have to worry more about knock-ons from it. Yeah but I bet Nellis AFB is high on other counties’ nuke lists. It is extremely active with gently caress your country up aircraft. I saw a B2 a couple times, lots of fighter jets, got strafed by a pair of A10s, and a bunch of poo poo I couldn’t identity. Crystal is less than 90 miles in a straight line from Groom Lake and a lot closer to other installations.

This led me down the rabbit hole of finding other military training facilities out in the desert. I looked at Fort Irwin in California and came across some pretty funny Google reviews of stuff.

Platystemon posted:Why were you putting an alligator snapping turtle into a sack? It's a pretty humane way to restrain them actually, as long as you use something like breathable feed sacks. We removed a couple hundred of them from one hatchery pond to transport to another, plus release some in some wildlife refuges in the region. When you put a pissy 80 lb dinosaur with bone crushing jaws on the ground and don't restrain it, somebody will be losing part of a leg pretty soon.

Actually, transporting dangerous wildlife is OSHA as gently caress and as far as I know we had zero safety oversight for the event. I got bit on the toe (straight through my boot, no flesh lost) and on one finger (through the feed sack, hosed the nerves up for a couple years but didn't lose a digit). This pond was partially drained, nobody had a good idea of exactly how many to expect, and you find them in the mud by feeling around for them.  So once you get your hands on one, you pull it out of the mud while trying not to get bit or scratched, and then carry it to the bank and bag it so it can't get away or catch someone on the ankle.  Eventually they're all transported into the lab, cleaned off, tissues taken, sorting, length and weight, etc.    They had reproduced while in the pond, so we were searching for hatchlings, too.  They don't move very fast but there were a ton of them around so you couldn't get too distracted. https://i.imgur.com/vUVbyoU.mp4 HenryJLittlefinger fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Mar 25, 2022 |

haveblue posted:What the gently caress? I hope you were at least feeling around with some kind of tool and not something that would be amputated if a snapping turtle got ahold of it We had some shepherd's hooks, and you kind of shuffle a little bit to feel them with your feet. They generally don't bite stuff that's bigger than them underwater, so you can kind of poke them with your feet and get an idea of where the bitey end is. With the shepherd's hook, you turn them up on their side and get a grip on the shell and try to get them above the surface of the water so you can get a confident grip right behind their head. They don't have much reach with their neck, so they're actually a lot easier to handle than a common snapper or softshell turtle. They just have bigger consequences.
