Box Alpha

Dropbox Schematic (Full View)

The entrance to Box Alpha is a wooden shed in a small allotment field. a few miles outside the city. It is surrounded by woodlands on two sides, farmers fields and a small local road on the others.

The shed has an average padlock on it. Inside beneath the various gardening implements is a top quality digital lock (8 digits) that controls a hatch, leading to a ladder that goes down into the box. Because it is a bomb shelter the shaft going down has metal shutters every few feet that can be closed behind it and the air supplies can likewise be sealed from the inside. A large fan keeps air circulating when the place is occupied, incoming air can be passed through a heavy duty NBC filter.

The Garden also boasts a small wind turbine and solar panel roof that charges a battery inside the Dropbox. The Battery runs the compact LED lights, ventilation and supplies a power socket in the hut and in the box (they have 2 small vents which are integrated into the shed.

There is also a poster at the bottom: "This box is maintained for the public good. Please replace or return anything you use from the box so that others may use it in future and if you come across anything in your time in Illinois, please leave it here so that others may benefit from it with notes if possible, donations to this box may save lives. Please find a supply of alcohol beneath the kitchen sink and Good luck the rest of us are counting on you. - Mercury"
