The Vault

Facility Overview
The Vault is a site constructed around Anomaly A-009 ("The God Complex") following the first expeditions conducted within. Serving as a "shell" around A-009, The Vault was specifically built to contain high value Items, Subjects, and CACG assets (such as the original sample of A-038, Item A-057, or the Multiverse Index) and preserve them in the event of a Sub-MARY EOW scenario or disaster, as well as CACG staff.

The secondary purpose of The Vault is to act as an evacuation center for both CACG staff and civilians in the event of a catastrophe, with high-speed transit stations to a network of government-operated disaster bunkers. In exceptionally disastrous scenarios, The Vault can also provide shelter for civilians should bunkers not be available.

Specifications
Due to The Vault's operational priority, it is powered by a collection of high-reliability deep-ground geothermal generators. To protect the power grid in the case of solar flares and other events, an EMI shield generator is in effect around the facility. Should all geothermal generators go offline, on-site radioisotope generator (RTG) complexes will activate, with an expected viable lifetime of 961,317 years operating at maximum capacity.

Alongside "housing" Item A-009, The Vault acts as a key component in many experimental projects, with the HALO Exotic Particle Accelerator being the most complete of them. Drawing power from A-009, the HALO can generate a steady stream of high-energy particles and/or antiparticles that can be fired via the "Athena" EM Gun topside. By current projections, the HALO and Athena is capable of downing anything short of a Class MARY threat, although it has not been used yet as of writing.

The Vault is designed to house up to 370 individuals in relative comfort, with an operational population of 39 staff at all times. While the housing can be expanded as needed, mass cryonic storage is available for long-term disasters and EOW events. The facility has capacity for 86 anomalous items and subjects, as well as 3,960 exabytes of data capacity (spread out amongst the Index, FORA, and digitized document, consciousness, and anomaly storage). The main entrances into The Vault are a topside cargo elevator, emergency evacuation access tunnels (sealed outside of active disasters), and the CACG high speed transit system as well.
