THE YOJIHIROMATA ESTATE
When Char was originally forming the
organization
one of his first priorities was to find somewhere large enough and
obscure
enough to store the large amounts of contraband needed to get the
organization
off its feet. He found out about such a place from a skiing
acquaintance.
The acquaintance had worked as a marine photographer and while
exploring
the coastline he discovered an underwater cave that led to an enormous
cavern. Char explored the site for himself and found it to
be exactly what he was looking for. He bought the land above and
much of the land surrounding. Then he and Scott widened the
entrance
to allow for a small cargo submarine and put a camouflaged tarp over
the
entrance to hide it from curious divers. A small
construction
crew was hired for a hefty fee, (you have to pay a lot to get workers
to
go to and from work blindfolded) and work was begun in earnest.
The
cavern was expanded, support columns erected, and large generators
brought in, a small
two story medical center, a stockade, a shooting range and the main
security
station were installed. While this was being done the house
itself
was being built above ground. The entire process took 3 years and
when it was done Char had a home that was a virtual fortress. The
house itself while being huge, looks perfectly normal. The cavern
is only accessible by Autumn Blades inner inner circle, heads of staff
and a few trusted security personnel. With the exception of the
security
area and the medical center, for the most part the cavern is used as a
warehouse, shipments are transported to and from by
submarine. The caves intersect and branch off
and if you don't know exactly where you are going it almost impossible
to navigate. The house elevator will also transport you to the
cavern
(if you know and punch in the right code) and there are several hollow
support columns which provide emergency escape routes from the mansion
to the cavern. Char owns the land surrounding the house for
ten miles in every direction, the estate has incredibly tight security
both on land and in the water, and tight radar surveillance monitors
the
skies above. The security was designed to stop single persons or
small teams from gaining entrance and so far only Jacques Dubois has
been
successful in besting the security. Subsequently the gaps in the
system which allowed his entrance have been filled at his
advising.
Nothing short of a full scale assault will penetrate the estate now,
making
this the only place where the Inner Circle and trusted others can truly
relax. The house itself is located outside of Night city on a
wooded
area of the coast.
