Tibet Photon Fusion Technology Research Institute

The former site of TPFTRI

The Tibet Photon Fusion Technology Research Institute, also known as Photon Corporation Site-01 is a facility located in the off-skirts of Tibet. It hosted the Model 3 type of PMFR that detonated in April 2036.

The site was first built in 2034, above an abandoned prison camp, testing facility, and on-site burial ground. Over 20,000 bodies were to be removed from the site as soon as possible. Later in 2034, the site was finished.

## Locations

### Sector A/Entrance

#### Sector A1/Reception

Sector A1 was the general reception area of the facility. It hosted 3 computers for 3 employees, a title board and an elevator to Sector A2. For entrance as a visitor, you would require:

* A passport/ID
* A previously booked tour of TPFTRI
* $1200

After you give the receptionist these items, you would be given a visitor card, and you would be able to proceed with the elevator down to Sector A2.

To enter as an employee, you would require:

* A passport/ID
* An employee shift authorization card

After you give the receptionist these items, you would be given your employee card, and you would be able to proceed with the elevator down to Sector A2.

#### Sector A2/Vault Seal Tango

Sector A2 was the vault seal sector of TPFTRI. Vault Seal Tango was a massive chromium vault seal door that was the only and primary entrance to TPFTRI. To enter the facility, you would require to go up to the vault seal control room, and give your visitor/employee card to the guard.

The guard would call a tour guide if it is a visitor card, and you would have to wait outside the vault seal.

### Sector B/Maintenance

#### Sector B1/Maintenance Bridge Foxtrot

Sector B1 hosted a maintenance bridge with the codename Foxtrot, as the route to Sector C and further were going past a small river. There were also routes leading outside the Sector C and further sector route.

#### Sector B2/Cooling Systems

Sector B2 hosted a variety of PMFR cooling systems, such as coolant pumps, anti-BAF-12 tanks, etc, and their control stations.

#### Sector B3/Reactor Maintenance Route

Sector B3 contained the route to Sector D, Reactor Access.

#### Sector B4/Maintenance Route Exit

Sector B4 was the general exit route from Sector B.

### Sector C/Reactor Control

Sector C was the general PMFR control station. It had 2 control terminals, one for igniting the reactor, the other for shutting down the reactor. Both of the terminals had special buttons, controlling coolant intake, laser injection, ignition rates, etc.

### Sector D/Reactor Maintenance

Sector D was the general maintenance section for the PMFR, hosting a ladder to the reactor for fuel cell change, an airlock, etc.

### Sector E/Administration Access

#### Sector E1/Entry

Sector E1 was the entry and exit point from Sector E. It hosted a door with a keycard scanner. The keycard scanner accepted entry only if the card was A1 and upper.

#### Sector E2/Administration Control

Sector E2 was the administration control point, hosting all blast door/shield controls, alarm controls, and even the Emergency Facility Detonation System activation button.

## The fate of the facility

In April 18th, 2036, the day started like normal both in Tibet and the facility, personnel waking up early, leaving their homes, arriving in the facility, checking systems etc.

In that day, the reactor operations personnel were instructed to perform a mandatory stress test on the PMFR.

At 1:31PM Tibet time, the reactor was engaged and the BAF-12 pellets were ignited within the containment structure. The reactor took 300 seconds or 5 minutes to heat up to a dangerous state. As it did, announcements played around the facility twice. An explosion caused some servers in the F.A.A.S. room to fall. Alarms started blaring and the PMFR was about to go into a full thermal runaway reaction. As the facility hosted no shutdown button or killswitch for the reactor, the reactor had to be manually stalled, by minimizing laser input and engaging combustion reversers with the help of maximum coolant input. The core was not stalled at the right time and went into a full thermal runaway reaction. 25 seconds later, destruction.

The PMFR detonated in the bottomside of the Tibet Photon Fusion Technology Research Center, killing 43 people in the bottomside, as well as 340,000+ on the surface due to blast, radiation or starvation.

The Photon Corporation was then sued 550+ million dollars in damages. The PMFR was never built again and was replaced by the BAF-12 Injection Reactor.

## The aftermath of the incident

Only 3 minutes after the blast, 2 Photon Corporation rescue teams reached the site and evacuated 32 people from the site.

1 hour after the detonation, the Photon Corporation Upper Administration Council was informed of the accident at the institute.

3 hours after the detonation, the Photon Corporation Security Directive reached the site and started Investigation Case-192A.

6 hours after the detonation, the Photon Corporation Security Directive detected a failure within the wiring. The wires had protective coating on them to prevent damage to the wiring during a detonation of the PMFR. One of the wires leading to the control room was heavily damaged and could explain the fact why several cooling systems did not operate during the accident.

1 day after the detonation, the Photon Corporation Upper Administration Council arrived at the area of TPFTRI and found a pair of scissors and a hole in the wall in Sector B2. The person who may have sabotaged the reactor operations might have known that the protective coating of the electricals only engages during a meltdown of the reactor to save the state of the wires.

3 days after the detonation, The Photon Corporation had lost over $100,000,000 (100 million dollars) thanks to the accident at TPFTRI.

6 days after the detonation, the accident at TPFTRI went public, and the Administration Council requested an evacuation of a 250-mile radius of the facility.

15 days after the detonation, the Nuclear Safety Commission was informed about the nuclear accident that took place on April 18th.

1 month after the detonation, over 50,000 people had died due to the radiation emitted by the destroyed facility.

3 months after the detonation, the Tibetan Government sued Photon Corporation ¥3,794,120,000.00 (Chinese Yuan) or $550,000,000 (US Dollars) for all the damages done to the Tibet Autonomous Region.

1 year after the detonation, the Photon Corporation planned a massive concrete containment dome, similar to the one in Chernobyl.

5 years after the detonation, the Photon Corporation announced the discontinuation of the PMFR due to the fact this incident may happen again, due to someone trying to sabotage the company.

9 years after the detonation, the Photon Corporation finished the new BAF-12 Injection Reactor, spelling an end to the PMFR era.

15 years after the detonation, over 500,000 registered deaths occurred due to the accident in TPFTRI.

33 years after the detonation, the BAF-12 Injection Reactor had officially been discontinued after 18 years of operations.

60 years after the detonation, many explorers went out to see what lies in the remains of TPFTRI, many said the facility was heavily overgrown with fungus and plants.

150 years after the detonation, the Photon Corporation was renamed to Photon Enterprises.

300 years after the detonation, the remains of the facility were said to be fully overgrown, with plants and different fungus types in all sections of the facility.

500 years after the detonation, the entirety of the Eurasian continent had an increase in radiation by 5.6 roentgens, forcing Photon Enterprises to finish their humanity spaceship, the Stardust.

503 years after the detonation, the Stardust was launched with 3.4 billion passengers and 850 million crew members.

750 years after the detonation, the Stardust successfully exited the Solar System and went further, reaching for an exit from the Milky Way.

1500 years after the disaster, the Stardust was heavily damaged, but was repaired by 230 million maintenance personnel.

3000 years after the disaster, Photon Enterprises was renamed to Photon Space Enterprises.

5000 years after the disaster, the Stardust exited the Milky Way.

6000 years after the disaster, the Stardust experienced catastrophic damage in the central reactor, forcing the evacuation of the Stardust.

6001 year after the disaster, Directive 6H71-88B was issued and the Stardust was destroyed, forcing the survivors to live in escape pods.

7500 years after the disaster, a universe-wide broadcast was made by the CEO of Photon Space Enterprises, stating that this is the end of the organization. Photon Space Enterprises had ceased operations as an organization or a company as a whole. The era of Photon Enterprises has come to an end.
