Editing Blue Giant:Scenario Kong Tiki (section)

==Setting==

The Damocles binary system consists of a black hole called Dionysus, the red giant called Damocles and Damocles One which is the iron core of a planet that once orbited Damocles. Damocles One is roughly half the mass of Earth (so all jumping distances are doubled) and has an extended orbit around the binary system.

The story is set on a research base deep inside a cavern at the bottom of a polar canyon on Damocles One. The  [[Blue_Giant:Scenario_Kong_Tiki#Base Map|research base]] is a series of nine [[Blue_Giant:Scenario_Kong_Tiki#Generic Map of Modules|prefabricated modules]] connected by pressurised walkways between the modules. Two smaller modules are set on the ground and are connected by elevators to two upper modules. The research base has been deliberately damaged by the research team in order to prevent the mask apes reaching the modules in which the survivors have taken refuge.

The base sits in a cave with no atmosphere. Beyond the cavern are a series of caves linked by tunnels, some tunnels are natural and some have been created by the scientists. These extend as far as you deem necessary. The cave is made of solid iron, heated and cooled by the supernova explosion. The stalactites hanging from the roof make landing anywhere except the landing pad impossible, and the cables supporting each module don't help either.

The base was first damaged by a quake brought on by tidal forces and a tremor caused by explosive charges used by the scientists to access new areas. The cable holding up the living quarters snapped and provided access for the mask-apes.
