===Purple=== ====Abandoned Village==== It may have been the Terror who convinced the native population to resettle. Or it may have occurred during World War II, when the Island was used by the US Navy as a refuelling and resupply centre. But their village remains, looking more worn down and dilapidated every year. It is a popular site for staff to take a day trip to, in the cliff walls near the village are a series of carvings and funerary niches that don't match traditions from other Polynesian cultures, instead being similar to Mesoamerican cultures, Mayan in particular. The islanders were, by all accounts, a fairly typical Island culture, with lingual drift from other Polynesian languages that would be appropriate given their isolation. ====The Port==== Old warehouses, Quonset huts, cement piers, a rusting tank-farm of squat cylinders for fuel, a runway -- all covered in ivy now. This was a naval station built early in WWII, and abandoned sometime in the late fifties or early sixties. Souvenir hunters have taken a number of objects, but the "O Club" for Officers has been left sort of as a shrine -- tiki theme, fading photographs, a cracked bar mirror with several (empty) bottles still in front of it. The strange thing is, this nameless base doesn't appear anywhere on existing Government records, or maps or charts. It might have been secret, but it seems like someone went to great lengths to make the base disappear over the last fifty years. ====Science Village==== Everyone needs to get out, once in a while. The Science Village, sprawling out under the Villa, is where most of the island staff get their time off. Little cottages, like a Greek villa in the Pacific, with tennis courts, pools, automated shops, indoor and outdoor theatres, beer gardens and a wide patio restaurant, all serve to help the staff relax. Electric vehicles whisk them off to beaches, or to tour the main island -- access across the bridge to T'Pao is tightly controlled. The Science Village is often empty, psychological work shows that letting larger groups vacation together is more healthy than allowing one or two persons to vacation in an empty village. ====The Resort==== The Resort is a permanent facility for staff who have given years of service to the Terror, but for security reasons cannot be let go. A quaint sea-side village with a rustic English look, it is quietly and near invisibly maintained, and is normally host to a dozen or so aging scientists and the occasional resigned spy. --------- [[MnM_Redemption|Main Page]]
