REDOUBTS
Page Version 1.41
This file will contain all the
information gained about the Redoubts that are discovered by Ryan and his companions during their travels.
The location, the size, any
inhabitants, condition, and other similar information will be
recorded here.
General Information
The redoubts are entered via
either the gateways, or by huge blast doors. One unusual aspect
of the main doors is that they are all keyed to be opened and
closed by using the same combination. 352 to open, 253 to close.
One of the functions of the
gateway is that it has an automatic reset button. If this button
is pressed within 30 minutes of arrival, it will trigger the
correct code to return the user to the gateway they came from.
It seems that the Redoubts are all
part of some sort of project known as the Cerberus project. It is
revealed that not only are the Matter Transmitters part of this
project, but that the white coats seem to have delved into time
travel experiments using the same technology.
In Dectra Chain it is learned that project Cerberus is only a small
part of a huge project. It was part of Overproject Whisper, which
in turn is part of the Totality Concept. It is also discovered
that there may be a space station hidden on the other side of the
moon, which is completely self sufficient and may have survived
the war intact.
In Bloodlines, it is discovered that there is another cog in the
Totalitarian Concept wheel. This one is known as Enterprise
Eternity, which, for all intent and purposes, appears to have
something to do with immortality. Another is project Genesis,
which delved into the realm of genetic engineering.
One aspect of the Totality Concept
was automation. Even if the enemy managed to get in a sneak
attack, the United states would still be able to launch its own
missiles, ensuring that the other side was devestated.
Another function revealed by Doc tanner is the fact that unless a destination code
is entered the jump is always random.
In Ice and Fire it discover that during the evacuations of the
redoubts, one of the first things that would have been destroyed
would have been the manuals and the software backups for
controlling the gateways. They also learn from Rick Ginsberg that there are two more Cryonic facilities
that he knows of. One is located near Duluth, the other is
located in Texas, near the Grande. Rick also told them a code to
enter into the gateway controls which will prevent them from
jumping into a gateway that is damaged or malfunctioning.
Several side effects are common
when ever a jump occurs. The most common effect are nightmares.
Nausea, nose and ear bleeds, weakness, and dizziness are also
known to occur.
In Dark Carnival they discover the codes for several gateways as well
as the LD button which allows them to return to the last
destination if they use it before initiating a jump.
In Moon Fate it is hinted that a
malfunctioning gateway may lengthen the time it takes to jump
from one gateway to another. A prime example is that it was only
late november when Jak left the group, but the next time they
meet up, over eight months have passed and Christina is pregnant,
well into her third trimester.
It was discovered that when
multiple targets are attempting to arrive at the same gateway,
there is a 20 minute interval between the arrivals. This was
witnessed in Cold Asylum.
In Twilight Children it is discovered that the soviets had a similar
project known as the Project Szvezda.
Please note that now that
Outlanders is being added to the website each redoubt that is
given a name it will be added. Also the status of the redoubts
will now be added as well.
The new Redoubts introduced in
Outlanders (or gateways) will be listed at the bottom of the page
under the title of the book they were mentioned.
Pilgrimage to Hell
A redoubt was discovered in the darks (the mountains in Montana) by Ryan and his
companions. After gaining access to it, they spent time exploring
it. They discovered that it is fairly large, and for the most
part intact, even though they discovered an area which was
exposed to the elements due to earthquake damage. They also
managed to find several boxes of weapons, but very little else.
This is the first Redoubt they discovered, and is where their
jumps began. The walls of this chamber are brown tinted. Click here to see map. Click here
to see a different artists view of the map.
NOTE This
Redoubt is officially known as redoubt Bravo, and unofficially
known as the Cerberus redoubt. This redoubt has been taken off
the network by Lakesh to prevent it's discovery by the barons and
now houses his staff in the war against the Baronies.
A second Redoubt is discovered, but they are forced
to leave it as it appears to be underwater. When they opened the
doors to exit the gateway control chamber, the room began to
rapidly fill with warm water filled with all manner of life
forms. It is here that doc tells them about the return function
which will allow the user to return to the gateway they just
left. The location of this redoubt is not known. The walls of
this chamber are tinted green.
A third Redoubt is discovered, but, as with the
second, they are forced to retreat and jump yet again, as this
redoubt appears to have been heavily damaged and is right smack
dab in the middle of a radioactive desert. They jump out just as
they see some sort of huge mutant creature coming towards them
through the sand. The walls are pale gray in color.
Red Holocaust
The redoubt they jump into is located in Alaska. It
is incredibly huge, spanning no less than 12 levels. It is filled
to the brim with all kinds of goods. Weapons, clothing, vehicles,
and other pre-ruin goods. Unlike the other redoubts they have
visited, this one is inhabited by three people. An old man named Quint, his first wife named Rachel, and his second wife named Lori. The walls were coloured pale blue
streaked with grey.
NOTE: This
redoubt is officially know as Redoubt Zulu. It also houses the
computer control for the HAARP system (detailed in Doomstar
Relic) Th only inhabitant
is the computer interface Tara.
Neutron Solstice
A redoubt is located two hundred miles to the west
of what was New Orleans. Unlike several of the previous redoubts,
this one moves in a spiral. It ends a huge forty meter wide door,
which opens to reveal a second corridor, approximately two
hundred feet to a smaller, man sized door. Someone, when the
bombs fell, stenciled the word Goodbye in the wall of this
tunnel. The walls of this redoubt are tinted deep blue.
Crater Lake
A redoubt located near the Cascades, close to Crater
Lake Oregon. This redoubt has deep crimson walls. This redoubt is
quite large, but not nearly as large in the Alaskan Redoubt. It
has suffered heavy damage, probably from quakes over the years.
Entire sections of the redoubt are blocked off, and it is also
inhabited by a large number of diminutive
muties. The band get
trapped in the storage section of the redoubt. Here they find
food and racks of winter jackets. Eventually, they have to leave
the redoubt by travelling through a series of caves and tunnels.
Homeward Bound
The location of the first redoubt they jumped into
after destroying Wizard island
had dark blue glass, nearly no oxygen and next to no gravity.
Odds are quite good that they may have been in a Redoubt
somewhere in space.
The second redoubt is located in the upper portion
of New York state. It has suffered some damage from seismic
activity, but for the most part it is in excellent condition.
However, it appears that the nuclear power plant is only working
at half capacity and at least half of the lights in the redoubt
no longer function. Most of the base was empty. In several
sections Ryan and his band found self heats, clothing and some
weapons. They all restock on ammunition for their weapons. Unlike
the majority of the other redoubts, the colour of the mat-trans
chamber is unknown
Pony Soldiers
More information is now available on the second
redoubt mentioned above in Homeward bound. It seems that this
redoubts gateway was set up with special controls to instigate
Chron Jumps. The controls were set and ready to be switched over
from Mat Trans to Chron Jump. While Ryan and the band are
deciding whether or not to attempt to use the chron jump, they
are attacked by a mutie. After a brief struggle, the mutie is
forced into the chamber and they activate the chron jump by
closing the door. After seeing the results of the time
displacement, they decide to set the chamber back to Mat Trans.
The first jump they make takes them back to the
Alaskan Redoubt. They leave without hesitation.
The second redoubt they jump to has yellowish gold
walls. The first thing they notice is that everything is covered
in a layer of fine red dust. On top of that, the redoubt is
radioactive. Despite the radiation, the group decide to stay and
explore. As they explore, they discover a number of long dead
corpses of the redoubts original personal. It turns out that the
redoubt had been hit by a nuke during the war, and only about ten
percent of the base survived. This redoubt is located in the Shay
Canyon, New Mexico. Much to the groups disappointment, the
armory, even though it survived the nuking, was sabotaged by the
survivors of the base, to prevent the weapons from falling into
the wrong hands.
Dectra Chain
The walls of the redoubt they jump into are a deep
turquoise. This redoubt is located in the Ile Au Haut Acadia
national forest, on the coast of Maine. Just after the group
leaves the gateway they find graffiti on the wall: The large
print giveth, and the small print taketh Tom Waits said. They
also discover a second control room, but this one is restricted
to B-19 or higher access only. To their surprise, they discover
that the gateway is actually being used! Who ever was using it was jumping out,
not in. After finding a locker with clothing as well as what
appears to be a space suit, Doc concludes that it is possible
that this second gateway leads to a space station. When they
decide to leave, and they open the doorway, seawater rushes in.
The doorway is jammed and they can't close it. Fortunately for
them, the tide goes out and they don't have to worry about
drowning. After a very long climb up a rusty ladder, they find
that because of seismic activity, the gateway was separated from
the rest of the Redoubt. The second part of the redoubt is the
home of a strange little mutie. This portion of the redoubt contains the
dormitories as well as the storage facilities. 3D maps of the
facility were located all over. Entire sections of the redoubt
were separated by sheer walls of rock from the earthquakes, and
are now totally inaccessible. This redoubt is located on an
island about five miles off the shoreline.
Ice and Fire
The walls of this redoubt are a pallid translucent
gray in color. It is located in the Sierra's, fairly close to
Death Valley California. As with many of the previous Redoubts
they have encountered, this one has suffered from seismic
movements and is damaged. After passing through a corridor which
was filled with thousands of mutie cockroaches, they enter the main part of the redoubt. They
discover that this base is equipped with twenty five cryo tubes.
Out of the twenty five, only nine are still functional. Out of
those nine, only three of the people inside were revived. Out of
these three, two had to be killed. The cryonics facility was
located in the northern end of the fortress. To enter the
cryonics section, they first had to pass through a series of
airlocks. The dormitories of this particular redoubt still
contained personal effects of those who were stationed here. They
were unable to clear out their magazines, clothing and so forth.
Fortunately for the friends, the armory of the base was still
fully stocked with ammunition, grenades, explosives and weapons.
Red Equinox
The color of the walls of this particular redoubt
are not known. It is tiny in comparison to the other redoubts
that the group have encountered over their travels. The exit to
the control chamber was warped and it too Krysty's mutant
strength to open it. The control room of the redoubt itself was
tiny, only about twenty feet across with only a single, tiny
control panel. The controls are state of the art, the latest in
miniaturization. They discover that the redoubt was boobie
trapped by the inhabitants just after it was abandoned. J.B.
nearly kills himself trying to disarm the traps. They discover
the gateway is hidden well below a mansion which itself is
located to the south of what used to be Moscow. Fortunately for
the friends, Rick is able
to repair the damage that Krysty caused and they are able to jump
out back to the Deathlands.
Northstar
Rising
After escaping
from Russia, the first redoubt they jump to is not only cold but
the air inside seems thin. It is here that the Russian, Zimyanin makes his escape. He slips past Ryan
Cawdor and makes his way into the control chamber. On his way out
he closes the door and triggers the jump mechanism. Just before
Ryan blacks out he hears Zimyanin scream and fire off his weapon
three times. He catches a glimpse of something huge and pale
yellow.
The second redoubt they jump to has dull brown
coloured walls. Only a dim light seems to be coming from the
control chamber. An odour of death and decay seem to cling to
every part of the control chamber. Several of the computer
controls seem not to be working in the control chamber. When they
open the main door, Ryan is attacked by four Troggies. The
muties are weak and easy to kill, but they are set upon by a huge
number of the creatures, forcing the group to make a third jump.
The third redoubt the arrive in has red walls. The
triple jump was too much and the puppy Doc Tanner picked up in
Russia dies. upon entering the control chamber, they discover it
was abandoned quickly, as there are posters on the walls as well
as a card game in process on a table. They also discover that the
air inside the control chamber is very warm and humid. The rest
of the redoubt itself is moist, with green moss clinging to the
walls and floors. The further they head into the redoubt, the
cleaner the base becomes, and the air cools down. Eventually they
come to the redoubts barracks and rest up after the triple jump.
After loading up on ammunition and grenades they head out and
discover that this redoubt is located a few days travel from the
Great lake in Minnesota.
Time Nomads
The redoubt they
arrive in is located in New Mexico. The walls of this particular
redoubt are silver in colour. Like the redoubt they discovered in
Russia, this one has been boobie trapped. The entire base has
been wired to explode if someone trips up the triggers. Once they
exited the control room, the main entrance came crashing down,
cutting them off from the gateway. They spend hours exploring the
redoubt, hoping to find a way out and are unable to, but they do
find an area in the upper portion of the facility that they
figure they might be able to dig out of and reach the surface.
The redoubt itself has been stripped bare but they do find
emergency supplies and bunks.
Latitude
Zero
Near the end of
the novel they come across the ruins of a redoubt near the Grande
River in Texas. The redoubt suffered massive damage from quakes
during the war and was nearly destroyed. The Cryonic facility
located there was destroyed. The gateway survived intact. Other
than this, nearly nothing is known about the redoubt.
Seedling
After Jumping they
discover themselves to be inside a tiny redoubt. All it consists
of is the gateway, the antechamber, the control chamber and an
air lock. The air outside is nearly non existant, and all that
can be seen is orange red desert all around. Ryan spotted
something huge and moving at great speed towards the redoubt and
they all head back into the gateway for another jump. It is
possible that they were on Mars.
The second gateway they arrive in is located deep
underground. It has a stairwell which is blocked off which leads
to two other levels, and an elevator. After taking the elevator
to the top, its cables snap and the car smashes into the bottom
of the shaft. The walls of the gateway were gold in color and it
was located below the ruins of a mansion. The mansion is located
in the remains of New York city.
Dark Carnival
After leaving the
ruins of New York city, Ryan comes to first in the new gateway.
The first thing he notices is that the air is cold and the
gravity is light. He hears the sounds of turbines in the distance
and sees a purplish light coming from the doorway. He opens the
door and encounters a squad of sec men, armed with strange
looking weapons and wearing uniforms. It is the first time they
have ever encountered anyone in the gateway. He has no choice but
to close the door and trigger the jump once again.
The second gateway
they arrived in has walls of a delicate shade of blue/green and
its very warm and humid inside. It leads to a redoubt which
survived quite intact, but most of the base had been stripped of
equipment. They do find a stocked armoury and take new weapons,
ammunition, and clothing. In comparison to many of the redoubts
they encountered in the past, this one was relatively compact. It
had four dormitories which could accommodate forty or fifty
people all around a central dining area and kitchen. It had a
dozen small cubicles which had probably been administration
offices as well as store rooms for weapons, clothing and food.
This redoubt is located just on the outskirts of the Greenglades
Theme Park in Florida.
Chill Factor
Ryan uses the LD button to return to the gateway that
his son's kidnappers used. He finds himself near the ruins of a
sulphur mine controlled by Zimyanin. This particular redoubt is wide open to the
environment and is filled with snow and several deadly little 'Cuddlie'
muties. The redoubt is
barren except for a supply of cold weather clothing stored for
the hunters who go out and find 'recruits' for the mines. One
section of the redoubt is a long, long tunnel, travelling deep
into the mountains. It originally had a mono rail train to travel
to this isolated section of the redoubt, but the car has long
since disappeared. The isolated section is a weapon research
facility. There are several doors in a main room, and all but one
of the doors are locked. The unlocked door leads to the storage
room for the Sec hunter droids. Ryan accidentally activates them,
and is forced to fight four out of the five, one at a time. The
exact location of this redoubt is unknown, but it is suspected
that it might be in Canada, somewhere in the mountains.
Fury's Pilgrims
Near earth orbit station. After using the gateway to
jump out of the ruined redoubt in New Mexico Ryan and his friends
discover that they are aboard a space station. They leave to
explore, discovering that the station was inhabited and something
killed the people no more than a month before. After accidentally
activating a self destruct mechanism, they barely make it back to
the gateway and jump out. The walls of this gateway are a deep
rich glowing purple.
They discover that a redoubt is located in what used
to be Chicago. It is located below the central district
filtration plant. It has been all but stripped bare except for
the Chron section, and one M-900 APC. It is here that they use
the time trawling equipment and bring Michael Brothers into the
Deathlands. The walls of this gateway were a deep crimson colour.
Shockscape
The walls of this gateway are a deep cobalt blue. It
is obvious from the start that the gateway has been opened to the
elements as it is quite cold inside. As they explore it, they
discover that it has been pretty much totally stripped of
anything useful. It is also inhabited by hundreds of reptilian worms, which live in the concrete walls. This particular
redoubt is located west of Denver, Colorado, only a short
distance from the ville of Vista.
Deep Empire
The walls of this new gateway are a watery yellow in
colour. It is obvious that the redoubt suffered greatly during
the war. The only corridor that they can use ends in water, which
leads out to the Atlantic ocean. The rest of the Redoubt was
totally destroyed.
Cold Asylum
After using the Florida gateway
the party find themselves separated and sent to different
gateways all over the Deathlands.
Ryan wakes up to find himself in a redoubt where
there are people! This particular redoubt was discovered years
before and is now a museum. The walls of this gateway are a deep
rich purple. After hearing the voice, he believes that the
redoubt is located near the Grandee, if not fairly close to
Mexico. He doesn't get much of a chance to explore as he is
forced to kill several people and race back to the gateway and
jump out.
J.B. wakes up and finds the gateway he's in to have
Orange walls. He doesn't even bother to explore, just triggers
the jump and leaves.
Mildred's gateway is quite cold, and the walls are an
olive green in colour. Like J.B. she decides that her best option
is to try another jump.
The colour of Michael's gateway is not known, but the
redoubt is inhabited. He is attacked by a mutant
lizard snake. Using the
sec doors, he is able to kill the creature. Fearing that there
may be more, he returns to the gateway and jumps.
Krysty and Dean wake up together. The only reason
they didn't get separated was because Dean was in Krysty's lap
during the jump. The walls of their gateway are scarlet in
colour. Inside the control room the only thing they find are
boxes of tampons which delights Krysty. She grabs a handful for
herself and Mildred. They then jump out.
Doc wakes up to find himself lying on a carpet of
cockroaches. The gateway is a Gary colour, and the walls are
speckled with green dots. As he looks around he can see that the
redoubt has suffered damage. While looking, he hears a warning
sound, and he reads on a screen the following: "Instant
Mat-trans return to previous location destabilised. Error
de-processing in ninety seconds." He races back to the
gateway and makes the jump out.
Fate smiled upon the entire group as when they all
jumped, they find themselves in the same gateway, even though
they all arrive at twenty minute intervals. This particular
gateway has walls that are a bright cherry red in colour. The
gateway is located inside a redoubt that was used as a mortuary
just after the skydark. An elevator, located on the level as the
gateway takes passengers up to the mortuary. Someone wrote the
code for the elevator beside the doorway, making it possible for
everyone to use it. Sometime during the past few weeks, a group
of ghouls
managed to get into the redoubt and were feasting off the
preserved bodies. Doc Tanner can't stand to see it happen so
after he locates the control room, he turns off the freezers and
cranks up the heat, causing the corpses to decompose rapidly.
Three days later when they return, most of the ghouls are dead
from eating the decomposed bodies.
Twilight
Children
After leaving the redoubt in Kansas the friends
awaken to find themselves in a new gateway. The walls of this
particular gateway are a deep Gary, almost black in colour. They
also discover that the gateway was almost slapped together. When
they leave the chamber they find themselves in a cave which
appears as if it was chiselled right out of the rock the day
before. Someone built the MAT-TRANS chamber and set up the
equipment. Other than a long tunnel leading to a totally alien
environment there is nothing else in the redoubt. The only clue
to it's location is that it is quite close to the ruined ville of
Lonesome Gulch.
The second gateway is the one located in the
Louisiana Bayous, where they encountered Jak Lauren. Nothing has
changed, except for the outside, where they find that all the
environment has become a heated desert, which is quite
radioactive. They then return to the gateway and make a third
jump.
The new gateway has purple walls. After leaving it
and exploring, they discover that the entire redoubt was totally
stripped. No food, no weapons or ammo, no medicine. After helping
Ryan pull through his medical crisis they leave and discover that
they are in New Hampshire, a few miles away from the Champlain
lake.
Genesis Echo
After leaving the redoubt located in New Mexico, the
group find themselves in a sprawling redoubt. The exact location
is not known as they never left it. Most of the redoubt was
locked off the walls of this gateway were a bright, flame like
orange. Abe is attacked by a mess of mutant spiders inside the
bathroom, and then the air conditioning clogs up, and the air
turns bad. The base computer starts an air evacuation to purge
the bad air, leaving it in total vacuum. The group barely makes
it to the gateway and jump out.
A redoubt is located inside Cadillac mountain which
is located in the Acadia national park in Maine. The redoubt was
stripped clean during the war, not even a single self heat was
left behind. The walls of this particular redoubt were a dark
Gray in colour.
Shadowfall
The group find themselves on the western shores of
California. The redoubt is located on an Island about a mile from
the mainland As with many of the redoubts, the entrance to this
one is concealed by the natural terrain. The walls of this
particular redoubt are brown, flecked with white specks. This
particular redoubt is small, taking the group only a half hour to
explore the entire place. The gateway is located on the bottom
level, and requires the use of an elevator to reach the rest of
the facility. There is a stocked, but small mess hall,
dormitories, and offices. As well as a boobie trapped arcade
which nearly claims the life of Dean and Jak.
Ground Zero
Located to the south of the Washington Hole is a
redoubt. The top levels were totally destroyed during the
nukecaust, concealing the entrance in a huge pile of rubble. The
interior of the building is slightly radioactive, and has
suffered a great deal of damage, both due to the nuclear attack,
and seismic activity. Near the redoubt can be seen a five
thousand foot tall active volcano. The interior of the base is
filled with corpses of the personnel that were trapped their
during the attack. The walls of this particular gateway are a sky
blue in colour.
NOTE: This
Redoubt is officially known as Redoubt Papa.
Emerald
Fire
A tiny redoubt is
located deep in the heart of the jungle. It survived totally
unscathed due to it's remote location. For full details, see the
map provided below. The redoubt began to malfunction after the
main sec doors were opened, as mold and other plant life got in
and took root.
A map of the
Redoubt in Emerald Fire. Sent to me from Cyber.
Blood Lines
The group arrive in a strange redoubt, this one
almost circular in nature, with several huge locked sec doors
located throughout. They find a piece of paper, proclaiming that
the redoubt was known as Redoubt 47. From what is learned, this
particular redoubt was involved in genetic engineering, and their
greatest success were a family of mutant vampires. The walls of
this particular gateway were a dull dark brown in colour. The sec
door separating the gateway from the rest of the redoubt had
malfunctioned and was stuck three quarters of the way up into the
ceiling.
Crossways
The redoubt is located in the mountains of Colorado,
only about five miles away from the ville of Glenwood Springs.
The redoubt is fairly small, as military installations go. The
base has been home to a group of men who call themselves the
guardians of the redoubt, ever since it was discovered how to
open it so many years before. By this time there are only two
brothers left, and they are crazier than a tithes rat. The
facilities have all been cleaned out, and there is nothing left
in the lines of weapons or food. The gateway walls of this
particular redoubt are Pink in colour.
Keepers of
the Sun
There is a redoubt located on what is left of Japan.
The gateway is located deep underground, connected to an elevator
that leads up to a house built for the American ambassadors. It
had been discovered months before by the Japanese and they were
using the gateways to explore the Deathlands. The walls of this
gateway were a fiery orange in colour. The gateway is later
destroyed in a massive earthquake.
Circle Thrice
The Tennessee redoubt is huge, covering mile after
mile of tunnels and rooms below the surface. The redoubt is in
surprisingly good shape, but on the down side, it has been
totally stripped. Nothing is left behind, not even emergency
rations. The gateway itself is a deep purple in colour. One thing
that is discovered is that it appears as if a firefight may have
taken place in the control room of the gateway.
Stoneface
There is a redoubt located near Dulce, New Mexico.
The gateway inside the redoubt appears to be a prototype, and is
located in what appeared to be a classroom. The Base it's self is
unlike most of the one's they've been in. It also has clear
markings of a U.S. Air Force Facility. The walls of the gateway
are a dingy white. Here the group find a Land Rover that was used
for patrolling. They take it, leaving several other vehicles
untouched.
Bitter Fruit
A fourth redoubt is located in New Mexico. This one
is located in the military base in White Sands. Unlike the
majority of the redoubts, this one is manned. The leader of the
men who live in the base is named Major Drake Burroughs. He and
his men have under gone something known as the Calypso project.
It seems to have given them immunity to ageing and disease.
There are a pair of Redoubt located on what is left
of the island of England. The first is in a tiny little bolt
hole, which contained not only the gateway (which had indigo
coloured walls), but three Cryo Chambers, a wag, and a ton of
survival supplies. One of the Cryo chambers contained the corpse
of a man, who it is later discovered is the father of Prince
Victor Boldt.
The second gateway in England is located deep inside
the fortress buried beneath the ville of Wildwood. This fortress
is built inside the root system of a giant mutant plant, and is
controlled by a computer system known as Merlin. The fortress has
built in security cameras, and automated defences, as well as a
large number of Cyronic Chambers. There was also a huge nutrient
tank which housed a genetically engineered plant that had part of
the creator's DNA mixed in. It was linked to a count down timer
that would have release a plague, a mutant form of the Bubonic
Plague if Ryan had not killed the plant.
Skydark
There are two redoubts mentioned in this book. The
first is located in the Carolina's. It is five levels deep and
still stocked with food and equipment. The redoubt was being used
by the mutant Kaa to bring in his army of six thousand Stickies.
Dozens of the mutants were wiped out in the redoubt itself by
Ryan and his band.
The second redoubt's location is not known. All that
is known about the redoubt is that it was destroyed by a nuclear
device, a twenty five kiloton weapon detonating in the gateway
control room. The redoubt is destroyed, and Kaa is caught in mid
jump, never reforming at the final destination.
The Mars Arena
It is never mentioned exactly where, but there is a
redoubt located near the western islands of what used to be the
coast of California. Almost nothing is known about the redoubt.
Watersleep
They return to the redoubt located in the Florida
everglades, near what used to be Baron Larry Zapp's little
empire. The base had been flooded at some point in the past, as
well as entered and totally stripped of anything useful. They
encounter several corpses, just over a month old, as well as
guards who worked for a man named Rollins out of Mobile Alabama.
The controlling computers for the gateway malfunction and the
gateway is now permanently useless.
There is another gateway located below the military
base in King's Point, GA. Again, nearly nothing is known about
the redoubt its self as it had not been entered until Ryan
appeared. The gateway has watery yellow walls.
Nightmare
Passage
Deep inside the Guadalupe desert is a redoubt that
was used exclusively for genetic engineering. Here a super human
mutant with incredible strength, high intelligence, as well as
psionic abilities was created. This mutant, known as Alpha
quickly took control over the redoubt and ended up killing
(although indirectly) five of the twelve staff members, as well
as the female that was to be his counter part. After he reached
maturity the staff left and he went into suspended animation for
nearly 80 years. The redoubt is fairly small, containing living
quarters, supplies, the gateway (which happened to be pale rust
colour), as well as the research facility.
Freedom Lost
In the ruins of the Wayne Feldman Baptist Hospital
and Medical Centre in Charlotte, Virginia there is a civilian
gateway. The section is shut off from the rest of the hospital
and also contains a cryonics facility, though it failed and all
the people died.
Way of the Wolf
A redoubt is located in the southern part of
Kentucky, near the ville of Hazard. Unfortunately the redoubt
didn't contain any weapons or ammunition, but did have plenty of
other goods that they could use to trade with other for what they
lacked. The walls of this particular gateway were Jade in colour.
Deeply encased in ice is a listening post high in the
arctic. The redoubt was hit by a bio or chemical weapon during
the war so none of the personnel had been able to evacuate. They
died at their posts and were soon encased in thick layers of ice
as the nuclear winter enclosed the earth. The land where this
particular redoubt had been located was recently sheered away and
set adrift. The group were barely able to get the gateway
circuitry repaired and jump out before the redoubt finally sank
to the bottom of the arctic ocean.
Dark
Emblem
There are two redoubts with Mat Trans units located
in the nation of Puerto Rico. One is located in the Fortress of
El Morrow, the other located in the mountains. The second was
stripped in order to make the unit in El Morrow function. The
fortress was not really a military or research base, but it had
been used to conduct time trawling experiments. The other redoubt
was where the mutants known as the Chupacabras.were created. But something happened to the nuclear
power plant and Dr. Silas Jamaisvous was forced to abandon it.
The walls of the gateway in Fort El Morrow are an unusual shade
of blue.
Crucible of
Time
Located due east of Fresno California was a redoubt.
This one was fairly large but showed that it had been completely
evacuated after the war. Only emergency rations and bedding were
left behind. The hallway leading to the Mat Trans chamber was
shaped like a snail shell, circling in on itself. The walls of
this gateway are a deep Maroon.
Encounter
There
is only one redoubt mentioned in the book. It is a massive facility known as
Spearpoint. Its exact location was never revealed but it was massive, the
size of a small city and fully stocked. The entrance to the facility was guarded
by a security system much like the one mentioned in Pilgrimage to Hell.
Starfall
There
is a redoubt located about four days foot travel from the ruins of Idaho falls.
The size, as well as color of the walls in the gateway were not mentioned in the
book.
A
second gateway is mentioned. This one is located off the main Idaho river, near
where the Heimdall foundation had set up their temporary camp while building the
dam. This redoubt was nothing more than two rooms. An armory and the
gateway. The color of the gateway walls wasn't revealed at all.
Outlander
Redoubts/Gate Ways
Exiles To Hell
There is a gateway
located in Milton
Reeth's canyon fortress in
the Mesa Verde Canyon. The color of the gateway is unknown at
this time.
A new redoubt is
located in Dulce New Mexico. This redoubt houses the equipment
and technology that allows the creation of the Hybrid race. It is
where the outlanders that have been harvested for genetic
material are sent by various harvesters like Milton Reeth had been. Here superior samples of
humanity are kept in Cryonic suspension (Such as Kane's Father) to be used when needed. It is
staffed by a large number of Hybrids. The redoubt is a six level
affair (possibly seven levels). Each level of the redoubt is
devoted to research in the various devisions of the Totalitarian
concept. Level four was devoted mainly to Project Cerberus. Level
five was devoted to operaton Chronos. Overproject excalibur and
it's sub-division occupied level six.
