PARANOIA

Wow. I always pictured Alpha Complex as being something more like the Death Star interior. Very shiny and polished.

Also, is it a bad sign that that submarine base looks like a nice, warm, inviting place to live?
 

Here's my post more or less cut and pasted from the RPG.net thread:

The translations from the online translator have been left intact. Words the software couldn't parse are marked with alternate number symbols like *, ^ and % and notes have been made on some of them. Anyone who takes offense to unpolished material should stop reading now. The pictures without captions have been skipped. Thus:

Top Of The Page:

Underground base of submarines, part I
Underground base of submarines, part I.

Some information needs to be read through here and here. And in general all site I advise to study - VERY interestingly.

Now actually about base of submarines or object 825 it is brief (выдержкка from the booklet in the Ukrainian language):

Compiler's Notes:

After running one of the comments through the same translator, I got this:

Гермуха = гермозатвор. A door (or a gate), intended for tight closing an aperture. So it means something like "security door."

And that's the end of that. Anyone who wants to go through the dozens if not hundreds of other comments for information is welcome to them.
 

That's a thing of beauty.

That's... that's... my God, that IS Alpha Complex!
 

Now we really need Paranoia LARP rules.
 

Лесенка из Халф-Лайфа means "staircase from Half-Life" (the submerged stairs resemble a scene from the computer game Half-Life 2).
