That's essentially what I'm doing: I've described the building as containing 17 actual military staff and a bunch of civilians. I'm aware of the program because my grandparent's basement was designed as one, but I'm not sure where to get information on the program beyond that... my google foo fails me.



Its not the PC's base, they're in a bunker actually designed to outwait the apocalypse... They're trying to get an extra source of food to outfox the AWOL three-star general who inserted himself at the top of their command chain so that they can buy an atomic clock from the year 2038 where a version of airborne rabies killed almost everyone.


Yes, the PC's have mentioned fragging as an option. We'll see how long "general smiles" lasts.
