Editing OLYMPUS (section)

==Glossary==
* '''Olympus (AKA Settlement):''' an impressive O'Neil cylinder situated at the L-1 point between the Earth and the Sun. A repurposed space-habitat turned fortress / digital civilisation.
* '''Elysium:''' the digital landscape inside Olympus. While not truly post-scarcity (memory and processing power are somewhat apportioned), it is a thriving society - blissfully unaware of their precarious situation.
* '''Hades:''' personality storage-matrix. An archived databank of as many people as Settlement's founders could save. It was always the plan to restore them. A plan that was never enacted.
* '''Tartarus:''' too valuable to erase, too dangerous to live. Tartarus is a server buried at the heart of Olympus. It contains generals who ordered the Fall, scientists who made it possible, and political prisoners too ambitious, divisive or threatening to ever see the light of day again. It would take a crisis for OLYMPUS to even consider releasing those within...
* '''Terminus:''' perhaps the last or only megacity arcology that acts under OLYMPUS' (notional?) control. This centre of the Pan-Colorado urban sprawl, by miraculous chance, survived the fall. Its automated systems still function; tired and ageing routines ordered for reasons lost to time. It has been OLYMPUS' conduit to the surface and back. Now it is to be their beachhead.
