{6000}{}{The excavation is going according to schedule. Judging} {6001}{}{by the old base blueprints, we should be reaching the} {6002}{}{vat area shortly. Increased levels of the FEV virus} {6003}{}{are present in both the air and soil samples we've} {6004}{}{taken. Luckily our suits filter out the virus. Tell} {6005}{}{the members of the Enclave they should have a pure} {6006}{}{sample of the mutagen soon.} {6007}{}{**END-PAR**} {6008}{}{Also, I've begun to notice some changes in the miners.} {6009}{}{They seem to be showing signs of increased strength,} {6010}{}{stamina and a slight change in skin tone; obvious} {6011}{}{signs of mutations by the FEV. The men are getting} {6012}{}{nervous, as they too have noticed the change. Although I've} {6013}{}{increased the number of guards, I fear if the workers} {6014}{}{completely mutate, we'll be vastly outnumbered. It is} {6015}{}{my hope, that since we are using the local inhabitants} {6016}{}{as a work force, full mutation won't occur} {6017}{}{unless they are directly exposed (dipped) in a pure} {6018}{}{source or prolonged exposure to the virus occurs. As} {6019}{}{you recall, minute amounts of the virus have been} {6020}{}{detected throughout this region. Tests on subjects} {6021}{}{living in this area have shown that they have built up} {6022}{}{a tolerance to the FEV virus. However, I advise} {6023}{}{caution since exposure to this level of the FEV virus} {6024}{}{was never entered into the calculations. I advise that} {6025}{}{you rig the entrance to the base to collapse as soon} {6026}{}{as a pure sample is obtained. This will seal the} {6027}{}{exposed miners into the base and prevent unfriendlies} {6028}{}{from obtaining the virus once we are gone.} {6029}{}{**END-DISK**} {7000}{}{Sierra Army Depot - R & D} {7001}{}{Attending Physician - Dr. H.

Within these electronic} {12002}{}{pages, you'll find a quick description of our beliefs, } {12003}{}{including the formerly-repressed teachings of the Hub. } {12004}{}{This holodisc isn't meant to represent the final word on} {12005}{}{Hubology - think of it as a primer, and us as your } {12006}{}{spiritual guardians.} {12007}{}{**END-PAR**} {12008}{}{MAIN MENU} {12009}{}{History} {12010}{}{Philosophy} {12011}{}{Small Glossary of Terms} {12012}{}{Bibliography of The Hub} {12013}{}{**END-PAR**} {12014}{}{HISTORY} {12015}{}{We were founded back before the Great Deluge by an} {12016}{}{author and visionary of great promise, a man named Dick} {12017}{}{Hubbell. He saw the failure of the medicine of that time,} {12018}{}{and of the failure of religion, and of the failure of } {12019}{}{government. He knew that the world needed something } {12020}{}{new...the world needed Hubology. Inspired by music of the } {12021}{}{time and hs own personal experience with extraterrestrial} {12022}{}{beings, he set out to show us wheels in the sky, to keep } {12023}{}{them burning, and to understand the Great Wheel of Life.} {12024}{}{**END-PAR**} {12025}{}{We call him the Hub, for it is through him that we} {12026}{}{understand our place in the Wheel - he is our center, and} {12027}{}{we are his spokes. It is around his teachings that we} {12028}{}{revolve.} {12029}{}{**END-PAR**} {12030}{}{With the publication of countless books and journals,} {12031}{}{the Hub began spreading the word of Hubology - and} {12032}{}{immediately became a target for his detractors. They } {12033}{}{called his work "pseudo-science" and "dangerous dribble} {12034}{}{that can only hurt its adherents." Despite the collected} {12035}{}{sightings of Extra-Terrestrial Vehicles across the globe,} {12036}{}{they insisted on quashing the Hub's word. We know that } {12037}{}{they were simply stupid and misguided, but they were } {12038}{}{powerful; they included governments and corporations and} {12039}{}{other such entities, keeping the greatest news of all time} {12040}{}{from the people of the earth.} {12041}{}{**END-PAR**} {12042}{}{Hubology was driven underground for a time, marshalling} {12043}{}{its forces against the attacks of those who envied its} {12044}{}{simplicity and ease of use for the common man. When at} {12045}{}{last the Hubologists of that time struck back, they did} {12046}{}{it in such a way that few could stand against them - they} {12047}{}{infiltrated the organizations that sought to destroy them} {12048}{}{and created "television" shows that sought to expose the} {12049}{}{lies the government had fed the people.} {12050}{}{**END-PAR**} {12051}{}{This caused a subtle backlash against our religion. The} {12052}{}{common man found reason to doubt Hubology because of } {12053}{}{the distorted teachings of the media, and we had to wage} {12054}{}{a long campaign against those who would call us crackpots.} {12055}{}{During this time, sadly, the great Hub passed away.} {12056}{}{**END-PAR**} {12057}{}{Bolstered by the knowledge that The Hub had achieved} {12058}{}{unity with the Star Father, helping to turn the cosmic} {12059}{}{wheel in our direction, attaining another level of } {12060}{}{consciousness, we remained confident in ourselves that} {12061}{}{ours was the true way. Along the way, we gained } {12062}{}{adherents, many of whom who simply wanted to believe } {12063}{}{that there was a place out there that is better than } {12064}{}{this world. We offer proof of life on other planets, } {12065}{}{and a philosophy that allows us to understand the way } {12066}{}{of the universe. People have come to us over the ages, } {12067}{}{impressed by the rightness of our minds. And the fact } {12068}{}{that we have survived the Great Deluge unscathed } {12069}{}{teaches us that the Great Wheel turns toward our} {12070}{}{teachings!} {12071}{}{**END-PAR**} {12072}{}{PHILOSOPHY} {12073}{}{Hubology contains a simple philosophy, culled from the} {12074}{}{finest religious and philosophical minds of pre-Deluge} {12075}{}{Earth -  we believe that life, the universe, and} {12076}{}{everything can best be symbolized by a turning wheel.} {12077}{}{The outer rim of wheel contains those who do not} {12078}{}{understand our teachings and who do not understand the} {12079}{}{truth. We call them "rim meat", for the Wheel turns over} {12080}{}{them and grinds them, and they do not appreciate its} {12081}{}{workings.} {12082}{}{**END-PAR**} {12083}{}{Those who practice Hubology are the Spokes of the Wheel.} {12084}{}{We understand the motion of the Wheel and do our best to} {12085}{}{facilitate its turning. Those who control a portion of } {12086}{}{the wheel are called Hubs - and as far as we know, there} {12087}{}{have been only a few Hubs, enlightened individuals who } {12088}{}{seek to better the lots of their fellow earthlings. We } {12089}{}{refer to the founder of Hubology as THE Hub, for he is } {12090}{}{the one with the most correct teaching.} {12091}{}{**END-PAR**} {12092}{}{In the practice of our religion, we simply apply scientific} {12093}{}{techniques developed by the Hub and perfected by his } {12094}{}{inheritors to align the flawed neurodynes that create } {12095}{}{disharmony and an asymmetrical wheel. This allows us to} {12096}{}{purify ourselves and prepare us for self-examination. It} {12097}{}{is only through self-examination that we are able to} {12098}{}{succeed, and only through self-examination that we} {12099}{}{understand our place in the cosmos and on the Great } {12100}{}{Wheel. It is only through self-examination that we } {12101}{}{discover ourselves to be worthy of boarding the fiery } {12102}{}{rings when they meet us on the planet Quetzel.} {12103}{}{**END-PAR**} {12104}{}{We think of ourselves as a religion combined with the best} {12105}{}{scientific technique - scientific spirituality is what we} {12106}{}{call it...and what we hope you'll be calling it before too} {12107}{}{long!} {12108}{}{**END-PAR**} {12109}{}{This is our creation story:} {12110}{}{Aeons ago, all lived peacefully and in harmony with one } {12111}{}{another. Body, mind, and spirit were joined in all } {12112}{}{creatures, and the technology that existed boggled the} {12113}{}{imaginations. It was a time of peace, creativity, and} {12114}{}{alignment - and then the Dark Days came. Thrakazog the } {12115}{}{Pot Hole began to teach mind-body dualism and the } {12116}{}{sundering of the spirit, and war arose. The Great War } {12117}{}{destroyed souls and bodies and scattered their remnants } {12118}{}{across the universe. The Great Wheel came close to } {12119}{}{separating from the axle of existence, its spokes broken } {12120}{}{in the rut Thrakazog had created. A new life had to arise.} {12121}{}{**END-PAR**} {12122}{}{And arise it did, on the planet Terra, as on other planets} {12123}{}{across the universe. (We focus mainly on the life that} {12124}{}{arose on Terra, for while we blieve that we will once } {12125}{}{again heal the sundered spokes of the Wheel with our } {12126}{}{starry brothers, we must first concentrate on making } {12127}{}{ourselves useful spokes.) This new life was polluted by} {12128}{}{the soul-pieces of the dead. This led to hate and } {12129}{}{misunderstanding, and wars raged across Terra's surface} {12130}{}{until one day a visionary realized that the only way to} {12131}{}{create peace, understanding, and enlightenment was to } {12132}{}{cleanse these soul-pieces from the spirits of humanity.} {12133}{}{That visionary was The Hub. His cleansing continues today.} {12134}{}{**END-PAR**} {12135}{}{SMALL GLOSSARY} {12136}{}{AHS/Aligned Hub Seeker: The levels of enlightenment are } {12137}{}{measured by the cleansing of your neurodynes, cleaning } {12138}{}{out the base negative energy of your meat and } {12139}{}{converting it to positive mental energy. When you have } {12140}{}{achieved a strong enough level of zetan energy, you can } {12141}{}{travel to Quetzel, or you can wait and hope that the } {12142}{}{Uplifting will come during your lifetime.} {12143}{}{**END-PAR**} {12144}{}{Alignment : When a neurodyne is polluted and keeps a } {12145}{}{seeker's Zeta levels down, we "align" the levels to the } {12146}{}{universal Wheel by running a Zeta Scan on the affected } {12147}{}{neurodyne, cleansing it of taint. Too much alignment too } {12148}{}{quickly is harmful for the spirit, however.} {12149}{}{**END-PAR**} {12150}{}{Enlightenment: Enlightenment is the state achieved past } {12151}{}{AHS-9 - when the seeker has gained so much knowledge he } {12152}{}{becomes an integral part of the Great Wheel and leaves } {12153}{}{this earthly existence behind. Some of the Enlightened } {12154}{}{remain on Terra to guide the rest of us to a state of } {12155}{}{grace, to show us how to get behind the Wheel of our own } {12156}{}{lives.} {12157}{}{**END-PAR**} {12158}{}{Great Wheel: This refers to the cyclical nature of the } {12159}{}{universe, space, and time. Everything is a part of the } {12160}{}{Great Wheel. There are some who can take control of the } {12161}{}{Wheel - or perhaps they simply understand the direction } {12162}{}{in which it travels - and we call them gods, prophets, } {12163}{}{and visionaries. Those who master the Great Wheel are } {12164}{}{truly enlightened.} {12165}{}{**END-PAR**} {12166}{}{Neurodyne: Neurodynes are the stations of the spirit. } {12167}{}{Ancient religions called them "shakras". They can be } {12168}{}{polluted by soul-pieces and negative energy emanating } {12169}{}{from oppressives.} {12170}{}{**END-PAR**} {12171}{}{Oppressives: Oppressives are those individuals who are } {12172}{}{so full of negative energy and polluted soul-pieces that } {12173}{}{they drag down those who seek enlightenment by their } {12174}{}{very presence. They are to be avoided - many of them are } {12175}{}{so polluted they do not recognize the value to be found } {12176}{}{in a good cleansing, and they do their best to divert } {12177}{}{the course of the Great Wheel.} {12178}{}{**END-PAR**} {12179}{}{Quetzel: The planet to which the Star Father will bring } {12180}{}{us when we have become Optimized, where we will meet } {12181}{}{with our starry brethren and join them on their flaming } {12182}{}{wheels in the sky.} {12183}{}{**END-PAR**} {12184}{}{Rim Meat: A basic person, one who has not yet been } {12185}{}{aligned to purify his neurodynes.} {12186}{}{**END-PAR**} {12187}{}{Star Father: Some would call the Star Father "god". We } {12188}{}{prefer to think of the Star Father as the universal } {12189}{}{force from which we draw our energy, and to which we } {12190}{}{feed our energy in turn - again, a cyclical relationship.} {12191}{}{**END-PAR**} {12192}{}{Uplifting: The time when the Star Father calls us home } {12193}{}{to Quetzel, where we meet our extra-terrestrial brethren } {12194}{}{and move closer to the hub of the Great Wheel. Those who } {12195}{}{have made an effort to understand and embrace the } {12196}{}{words of the Hub, no matter their AHS levels, will be } {12197}{}{invited to join the Star Father in the heavens on planet } {12198}{}{Quetzel.} {12199}{}{**END-PAR**} {12200}{}{Zeta Scan: Another word for "alignment", the Zeta Scan } {12201}{}{helps to purify your neurodynes and clear your spirit. } {12202}{}{It consists of a machine that runs massive doses of } {12203}{}{electricity through your skin - this electricity has } {12204}{}{been carefully formulated, to the exact volt, to the } {12205}{}{amount of energy needed to drive the negative energy } {12206}{}{from a neurodyne. By accepting a Zeta Scan, your course } {12207}{}{is slightly corrected to be more in line with the } {12208}{}{movement of the Wheel.} {12209}{}{**END-PAR**} {12210}{}{BIBLIOGRAPHY} {12211}{}{Books by The Hub} {12212}{}{(There are hundreds and hundreds of books listed here, } {12213}{}{including such titles as: Scientific Spirituality,} {12214}{}{Battleground Quetzel, Star Father Above, Collected } {12215}{}{Shopping Lists, Notes and Musings, How to Sue Your } {12216}{}{Enemies Effectively, How to Create a Cult, and Future } {12217}{}{Books to be Written When I'm Dead.)} {12218}{}{**END-DISK**}

Col., Dr Charles Curling, U.S. Chemical Corps.} {20002}{}{To: Cabinet} {20003}{}{Subject: Project near reaching full operational status.} {20004}{}{**END-PAR**} {20005}{}{It is my honor, and happy privilege, to report the near} {20006}{}{completion of The Project. After years of work, we've } {20007}{}{managed to isolate the most toxic elements of the F.E.V.} {20008}{}{virus. Some of the only recently decoded information} {20009}{}{that we retrieved from the abandoned military base on the} {20010}{}{mainland has been instrumental in advancing our research.} {20011}{}{**END-PAR**} {20012}{}{We've discovered that the F.E.V. virus was not originally} {20013}{}{designed to be used as an agent for the creation of super-} {20014}{}{soldiers. Initially, it appears, the F.E.V. was } {20015}{}{designed as a virulent toxin. Only later was the F.E.V.} {20016}{}{virus manipulated in an attempt to create super-soldiers.} {20017}{}{**END-PAR**} {20018}{}{By backtracking somewhat in our research, and with the} {20019}{}{help of the additional information from the military } {20020}{}{base's records, we've been able to turn our version of } {20021}{}{the F.E.V. (F.E.V.

While the consensus of the Chemical} {20038}{}{Corps is that this would be a sufficient level to insure} {20039}{}{the success of the Project, we believe that it is worth} {20040}{}{waiting until we can accumulate enough F.E.V. toxin to} {20041}{}{reach our .0001% saturation and 99.5% extermination } {20042}{}{level goal.} {20043}{}{**END-PAR**} {20044}{}{Current F.E.V.

{21000}{}{Memo: A.E.C., Status Brief} {21001}{}{From: Tom Murray, Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission} {21002}{}{To: Cabinet} {21003}{}{Subject: Danger of overdependence upon central computer } {21004}{}{for all reactor control.} {21005}{}{**END-PAR**} {21006}{}{NOTE to the CABINET: I hate to be a nag by bringing } {21007}{}{this up all the time, but I cannot overemphasize the } {21008}{}{importance of diversifying our Atomic Powerplant's } {21009}{}{control systems. Here's my official report. I think that} {21010}{}{once you read it, you'll understand why we need to have } {21011}{}{a backup system.} {21012}{}{--Tom} {21013}{}{**END-PAR**} {21014}{}{Atomic Energy Reactor Regulator} {21015}{}{--} {21016}{}{Vault-Tec's new Uranium Nuclear Reactor has been working} {21017}{}{to top efficiency so far. With the state of the art } {21018}{}{computer systems that were made specifically for the } {21019}{}{task of regulating the coolant temperature as well as } {21020}{}{many other key functions, we are able to allow the } {21021}{}{reactor to run with minimal supervision.} {21022}{}{**END-PAR**} {21023}{}{The new Synchronic multi-processors that we had built} {21024}{}{into the tri-processor motherboard are able to multitask} {21025}{}{the coolant temperature, the intake of cool sea water,} {21026}{}{the outtake of expended coolant and waste from the } {21027}{}{reactions, and the regulation of the neutron bombardment} {21028}{}{upon the uranium. Without the computer systems, the } {21029}{}{reactor would go out of balance almost immediately, } {21030}{}{causing a chain-reaction bombardment of the uranium } {21031}{}{isotopes. Within two hours, or less, this would result} {21032}{}{in a nuclear explosion equivalent in the 100-kiloton} {21033}{}{range.} {21034}{}{**END-PAR**} {21035}{}{The sum of the main portions of the reactor are placed} {21036}{}{underwater, beneath the station. This arrangement } {21037}{}{allows the ocean's natural temperature to keep the } {21038}{}{exterior cooler. Seawater, from 500 meters, is pumped } {21039}{}{into the coolant chamber. A portion of the cool seawater} {21040}{}{is diverted to the containment unit, where the core and} {21041}{}{control rods are. There, it circulates through the core,} {21042}{}{becoming heated from the nuclear reaction taking place. } {21043}{}{The seawater reaches the boiling point and the resulting} {21044}{}{steam is used to turn the turbine generator to create } {21045}{}{all of our electricity. The steam then condenses and } {21046}{}{returns to a filter tank. The cleansed water is entered} {21047}{}{back into a preparation tank, ready to start the cycle } {21048}{}{all over again.} {21049}{}{**END-PAR**} {21050}{}{Severely radiated water, and miscellaneous toxic } {21051}{}{materials, are pumped out of the station through a } {21052}{}{waste-conduit, terminating one mile to the south. } {21053}{}{Reports from our survey crews state that our effluvia} {21054}{}{drifts down the coast of southern California and Mexico,} {21055}{}{causing irreversible ecological damage. Many of the } {21056}{}{beaches are now saturated with toxic waste, and highly} {21057}{}{radiated sea life. Fortunately, this doesn't effect us.} {21058}{}{**END-PAR**} {21059}{}{In any case, if our reactor is shut down, we do have } {21060}{}{some backup batteries that can be used to power vital } {21061}{}{systems throughout the Enclave until power is restored.} {21062}{}{However, these do not include extraneous and high energy } {21063}{}{items such as forcefields. Also, as a safety precaution,} {21064}{}{certain watertight doors throughout the station, will } {21065}{}{close when power is reduced (to prevent flooding in case } {21066}{}{of an emergency). This will restrict movement through the} {21067}{}{station but movement to the top of the station is still} {21068}{}{possible, through alternate routes.} {21069}{}{**END-PAR**} {21070}{}{The real problem is that if the computer is} {21071}{}{shut down or destroyed, unlikely though both of those } {21072}{}{events may be, the reactor will go critical to the point} {21073}{}{of meltdown within two-hours. We need to install some} {21074}{}{sort of a human-maintained backup system. I know that} {21075}{}{you may think I'm an alarmist for bringing up these } {21076}{}{provisions for an unthinkable event, however it always} {21077}{}{pays to be prepared.} {21078}{}{**END-PAR**} {21079}{}{In the meantime, let's just make sure no one blows up our} {21080}{}{computer (hah, hah).} {21081}{}{**END-PAR**} {21082}{}{Yours, Tom Murray, Chairman, A.E.C.} {21083}{}{**END-DISK**}
