Welcome to Anchorhead.

Welcome to Anchorhead.
Anchorhead is a business / future settlement located in Council Space, at the Coordinates X49, Y-8 on the Fifth planet from the sun in the Pegasi Expanse. Those wishing to come to come to Anchorhead will be welcomed with open arms provided they treat others with the respect other sentient beings deserve.

Things to note when paying a visit:
Anchorhead is situated on a frozen planet, so when visiting, some kind of insulating clothing is advised. Upon arrival you'll be at a teleporter in front of a large frozen ocean and some logs tied together to form a dock. Ascend up the stone stairs carefully, as sometimes water freezes on the surface and makes them slippery and you'll arrive at the entrance to Anchorhead, The Anchorhead Lighthouse. When arriving press the red button to call the elevator and the elevator will arrive in approximately ten seconds. This will take you to the main area of the business, which contains both a restaurant, a bar, and rooms for rent.
This area is heated by geothermal energy and as such it as kept at a cozy Seventy degrees. Please exit the elevator in a quick fashion as to keep the cold air out of the warm air as much as possible.

Facts about Anchorhead:
Anchorhead was created when a dilapidated research station was purchased and renovated. Only the first Floor of Anchorhead is fit for human occupancy and as such the lower floors have been locked so that the elevator will not visit them without a Basement Elevator Key. The floors below have been long since abandoned for hundreds of years, and the station itself rests above an inactive volcano, heated by the geothermal energy the Magma provides.​

Dangers of Anchorhead:
The Basement floors of Anchorhead beyond the first are very dangerous, and entering them unprepared could cost the intruder their lives. The owner will be gathering groups of explorers and engineers to delve into the darkened sectors of Anchorhead regularly to cleanse them of filth, decay, and solve the mysteries as to why the station was abandoned in the first place. If you wish to apply for a role in one of these expeditions you will be paid handsomely for your attendance, and as the floors of the undersea station are cleared, Anchorhead will grow larger as a whole, spurring it into new levels of growth and prosperity.​

Rules of Anchorhead:​

1. Respect other sentient beings, treat others as you wish to be treated in kind. While by no means are you required to be civil with one another, you should not commit violent crimes on other sentient while visiting Anchorhead.
2. Small sidearms no larger than a handgun are permitted at Anchorhead for self-defense reasons only. If you brandish your sidearm for a non-defensive reason you're effectively giving everyone who feels threatened by you carte blanche to act as they feel is necessary to remain safe, so try to keep this in mind to keep the fighting to a minimum.
3. Drugs other than Alcohol are not permitted in the restaurant or bar area of Anchorhead. If you must abuse illegal substances you are required to do it in the cold outside the lighthouse so that when you inevitably pass out you'll die from frostbite and we can kick your corpse off the dock so that the native sea life can make a feast of your body.
4. Slavery of other sentient beings breaks the First Law of Anchorhead, and is not allowed. Assault, Battery, Theft, and violent crimes against another sentient also fall into this blanket as well.
5. While private security firms and other militaristic groups are allowed in Anchorhead, it must be treated as a Neutral ground due to treatises established with The Council and Council space as a whole. No helmets are to be worn and faction insignia are to be displayed clearly so that identity can be distinguished.
6. Ships may be moored on the island west of Anchorhead if you wish to do so. The gravity in Anchorhead is slightly lower than Traditional gravity so the escape velocity is lower which allows smaller ships to come in atmosphere. The gravity level of Anchorhead is 0.944x.

If your application is approved (OOC: It's always approved) contact the Owner and she will set up time for you to hire a construction crew and begin building your business in question onto the Anchorhead station.
Note: Currently space in Anchorhead is at a premium until new sectors of the Anchorhead station are cleaned and explored, purged of flora and fauna, and rebuilt and secured to withstand water pressure. The more expeditions take place, the more space will become available for businesses. Currently there is enough room on Anchorhead to support two to three additional businesses while simultaneously supporting Anchorhead employees. Additional bunks may be build as resources become available. Currently there are four rooms available for rent or purchase at Anchorhead to accommodate evacuees from The Antares Sector.​

 

There's still an entire sector of people who haven't been affected by a cataclysm, and far be it from me to create a place that creates jobs where refugees can work for a meal and a spot in the cellar with food in their gut. I've offered refugees that have ships the opportunity to moor theirs on the planet, I've offered those with qualifications the opportunity to get a job with a roof over their head instead of wasting away in a camp, and I've created a place where those same refugees can get a bite of delicious food and drink in their gut instead of the rice and water you'd get from one of the refugee camps you tout so highly.

So before you start talking about who has their priorities straight I would suggest you read a very good book that I would consider one of the top three must read books for those who don't know what they're talking about. "Capitalism for Dummies". For a belief that guides the very hand of all of the cosmos more-so than any religion you would expect more people to know about basic economic principles. Antares refugees are creating a demand for food, water, places to live, and any other basic living needs they need to fulfill. I am supplying those things which they require.

Sentient-kind has come close to extinction many times throughout the history of the universe, and always have they persevered. I doubt this instance will be any less showing of their ability to survive in times of crisis.

I suggest they find a job in this sector full of opportunity to pay for the things they want instead of looking for handouts like beggars.

Very well, I suppose I can include you in the Expedition Elon. Meet up at around 5PM EST tomorrow after you Moor your ship and you and the other members can go down there and poke around and clean that place up. Hopefully we'll have three more people in addition to yourself before tomorrow around 5 or so.

 

Yes because all addicts are just poor unfortunate souls seeking to get one more hit into their system and were addicted through no fault of their own. All civilized colonies ban drug use for a reason, It makes people act irrationally and interferes with the safety of other individuals. Just by association, That breaks Anchorhead's first rule. They wouldn't want to hang out with a Drug addict that could trip at any moment, therefore you should not be subjected to the same by them. God forbid someone have a drug trip in a civilized area and someone die because of it, No. It's always poor unfortunate souls.

 

That's two thusfar, If that Avian from last night shows up that's three. So we need one more.

 

To everyone who was a part of the expedition, I'd like you all to fill out a report listing your account IDs so I can pay you all. To those seeking an interview drop me a line here.
