Because it's been too damn long with no content or discussions going on in here, I give you this little snippet from Into the Great Wide Open for you lot to comment/mock/obsess over. --Mal
Korolev Air Force Base wasn't that exciting.
In fact, it was downright depressing.
The base was made up of six grey concrete blocks, unimpressive and unadorned, clustered around the driveway. The windows cut into the concrete were fronted with sheets of tinted lunar glass, adding sinister intent to the brutalist architecture. Behind the main buildings a small greenhouse overstuffed with plants sat next to a huge prefabricated warehouse like a thousand others back on Earth. The crater rim loomed over the entire complex, a near-vertical wall two kilometers high topped with the supports for the Kandor dome.
The whole thing screamed of rampant, malignant mundanity. Only the front gate showed any real sign of fen character, a huge wrought-aluminum monstrosity with a crudely hand-painted sign reading "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!" tastefully hung at a cockeyed angle.
(Had Sora known at the time what that was a reference to, she might've had second thoughts about her interview. Thankfully for the story, and eventually for her as well, she didn't think to ask about the sign until much later. But we digress, and too early in this tale to boot.)
