**Site (REDACTED)** was a top secret United States government installation, serving as the headquarters of the USSDF organization from its conception.

## Description

Site (REDACTED) was located on a small, uninhabited island off the coast of Florida. The base itself was located inside the island's large mountain, with a small protrusion from a cliff face.

### **Amenities**

The island base itself was lavish despite being a research and development facility. It was capable of holding up to three hundred USSDF agents and their families at one time, in luxurious suites located deep within the mountain. In addition, two grand suites were reserved for the President and Chairman.

As well as the living quarters, the base also consisted of four incredibly advanced scientific laboratories, lavatories, three conference rooms, common areas, a cafeteria, a large office space for workers, the Chairman's office, an ocean-access moon pool, a hangar, a greenhouse, infirmary, and in-ground missile silos. There was also a secret developments vault restricted only to elite members, and an exclusive, highly guarded Presidential Comm Chamber.

### **Security**

The base was accessible by submersible (via the moon pool) and aircraft (via the hangar). A transportation submarine would leave the moon pool at 7:30, 12:00, and 8:30 pm to pick up government agents from a secret port on the coastline, and the hangar

All USSDF agents carried a specialized key card based on their rank in the agency, which allowed them to access certain rooms via sealed door.

* **One-Star Passes** could grant access common dormitories, bathrooms, the office space, hallways, the cafeteria, auditorium and the moon pool. Common office agents and sanitation workers carried one-star keycards.
* **Two-Star Passes** could grant access to the laboratories, conference rooms, and hangar (as well as the previous tier rooms). Low-level scientists carried two-star keycards.
* **Three-Star Passes** could grant access to the Chairman's office, in-ground missile silos, and greenhouse (as well as the previous tier rooms). Trusted high-level agents carried three-star keycards.
* **Four-Star Passes** could grant access to the secret developments vault (as well as the previous tier rooms). Four-star passes were reserved for the absolute elite USSDF agents.
* **Five-Star Passes** could grant access to the Presidential Comm Chamber, and the Chairman and Presidential Suites. These passes were reserved for the Chairman and President.

### **Schedule**

#### **Morning**

The cafeteria was automatically unlocked at 5:45am daily. All agents were instructed to rise promptly by 6:00am every day and perform normal morning tasks, such as personal grooming, organization, and exercise, all within the comfort of their suites, with the Chairman typically rising earlier at about 5:30.

The hallways typically became active at ~6:30, when the earliest agents shuffled down to the cafeteria for breakfast. Throughout the next hour, staff members would eat, head to their workstations, and catch the morning transportation submarine if need be.

The work day began at 7:30am, with all personnel required to be in their specified locations at that time. A general productivity period occurred from 7:30-11:30. Office personnel broke for lunch at 11:00, followed by the scientists at 11:45. Throughout this time, the Chairman (and President if present) would be in communication from his office, handling higher-level government affairs.

The second transportation submarine would leave during the scientists' lunch.

#### **Afternoon**

After lunch hours, large-group conferences typically began. Most days conferences took place in the conference rooms, however some encompassed all personnel and occurred in the auditorium.
