## Internal Lava Pipe System

Introduction: The Internal Lava Pipe System, within the Goo Labs Internal Facility (IF), is a complex and extensive network of pipes designed for the controlled transport of specialized lava. This labyrinthine system serves as the primary means of conveying lava throughout the IF for various research and resource generation purposes.

Structure: The Internal Lava Pipe System consists of two distinct parts, each with its unique characteristics.

### Part 1 - Zone 1:

* Part 1 serves as the entry point to the Internal Lava Pipe System. Initially, the pipes are organized in small groups, embedded within the walls of the IF's controlled environment.
* As personnel proceed deeper into Part 1 and approach the entrance to Part 2, the pipes gradually increase in size and complexity. They expand to a point where only a single pipe lines each wall, creating a more concentrated and efficient flow for the lava.

### Part 2 - The Forgotten Zone:

* Part 2 is an older and less-maintained section of the Internal Lava Pipe System that has been largely abandoned. It contains servers and control mechanisms that were once integral to the operation of the lava flow but have since fallen into disuse.
* Despite its neglected status, Part 2 still plays a crucial role in managing and controlling the lava flow throughout the IF. The servers here are responsible for maintaining the flow's stability, temperature, and pressure.
* Periodically, these aging servers may require manual intervention to restart, ensuring that the lava flow remains consistent and reliable for ongoing research and experimentation.

***DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART THIS ZONE'S SERVERS. IT WOULD REQUIRE A FULL RESTART OF THE MAIN PUMPS, FOR WHICH THE IF IS NOT. READY. THIS RESTART WOULD CAUSE A MAYOR DESTRUCTION OF THE IF SINCE THE REINFORCEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN FINISHED YET.***

**IN CONCLUSSION: *DO. NOT. RESTART.***

Functions: The Internal Lava Pipe System fulfills several essential functions within the IF:

1. Resource Distribution: It facilitates the distribution of specialized lava to various research laboratories and resource generation facilities, allowing for the efficient crystallization and cooling of materials.
2. Temperature Regulation: The system includes integrated temperature control mechanisms to ensure that the specialized lava remains at its permanent, stable temperature.
3. Flow Management: Part 2 of the system manages the flow of lava, preventing disruptions or irregularities that could impact ongoing research projects.

### Conclusion:

The Internal Lava Pipe System is a critical infrastructure component within the Goo Labs Internal Facility. Its intricate design and careful management ensure the controlled transport of specialized lava to support a wide range of scientific endeavors.
