A remote industrial plant casts a dark shadow against the dull skyline, it is made up largely of rusted metal with a dense, hazardous fog enveloping the plant, clinging to it like a suffocating mantle. It stands as a stark reminder of what neglect can create, telling a tale of decay. Towering industrial tanks conquer the skies like skeletal fingers, their surfaces scarred by rust, a symptom of the salt water stored within. Large pipes crisscross their way through the site with water seeping down onto platforms, weaving through the perforated metal grates before finally cascading into a large pool that runs throughout the facility.
The air is filled with a symphony of industrial sounds that clash together in an unsettling harmony. The most dominant noise is the relentless gushing of water, pouring with a thunderous roar into the vast pool below. A constant echoing splash reverberates off the rusted metal walls, coupled with the occasional hiss of steam escaping from overworked machinery as if the facility itself is protesting its existence. distant alarms occasionally blare, warning of potential hazards, but they seem to blend into the relentless soundscape, a reminder of the perilous nature of the plant.
This installation has a dual purpose, to drain the nearby ocean using sophisticated desalination processes, the plant transforms seawater into a questionable drinking supply infused with psychoactive compounds. It additionally releases toxic byproducts that exacerbate the already prevalent pollution dilemma in City 8 and its governing districts, located 350 miles to the west, prevailing winds carry hazardous emissions eastward.
Working conditions at the plant are grueling, and the hazardous environment creates a significant barrier that deters many from venturing near. Those who do work there face constant risks of exposure and must don specialized gear to guard against the noxious fumes and dangerous materials they encounter every day. While such suits are crucial for their safety, they also cultivate a feeling of separation, making it all too easy for workers to feel alienated from the world outside.
Although the processing center supplies water to City 8 and City 9, along with other urban centers, the precise amount it contributes remains deliberately vague. It is likely one of many similar facilities under Combine control, used to manage and regulate water supplies across multiple regions.
