Forum:Test Shaft 9 sealed off in 1991, perhaps?

Was it 1961... or 1991(?!)

I know the in-game images say the shaft was sealed in 1961, as this date was most likely given to enhance the "derelictness" of the old facility for the sake of plot.

HOWEVER...

If the shaft was sealed in 1991 instead of 1961, then it would close several glaring plot holes:

1. The Shaft 9 facilities were under construction through the 1980's and had to be accessible to construction crews.

2. The Borealis dry-dock is located there and must have been accessible for the teleportation experiments to have taken place.

3. The gels were developed after 1961, yet they are pumped through Shaft 9.

4. The gel pump stations connect to the modern Enrichment Center which is from the 1980's.

THEREFORE...

I propose that Test Shaft 9 (a.k.a. Zulu Bunsen) was sealed off on June 15, 1991 due to Cosmic Ray Spallation Elements generated as a side-effect of the Borealis teleportation experiment.

There ya go, plot fixed.Alexcranson 04:28, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
