passes along a rusty fence, charged with preventing passage +into the large stretch of land, with dry grass and thorny bushes. +Neither are very good at their jobs though. +The road isn’t maintained, and one couldn’t pass there comfortably with a road +bike. +A gravel bike, or a mountain bike would be a much better choice. +As for the fence, there are numerous holes at the bottom, letting foxes and +deers pass freely. +Besides, the lock on the gate has been cut done for a long time, and it is now +wide open. +Under the blue sky, with the faintest traces of clouds, it is quite an +invitation to step out of the road, and go exploring. + +## Brown Shack + +A couple hundred meters from the [broken gate](#broken-gate) stands a small +wooden cabin. +The paint isn’t fresh, but the colour hasn’t entirely disappeared yet. +It’s a rusty brown and it pairs nicely with the greyish wood seen below. +Speaking of, there’s also an apple tree, growing a couple meters from the +shack. +The apples are not yet ripe. +They could be a nice snack in autumn. + +## Fendrex Center + +North of Avenville, in the industrial park near the [Great Ridge +supermarket](#great-ridge-supermarket) is where Fendrex had once established a +minor plastic injection factory. +It was once used to produce various designs, from beach toys to car +accessories. +Business has stopped decades ago, and after sitting unused for a while, a few +families have finally moved in. +They’ve repurposed the office rooms as bedrooms, and the large area, which +once housed the production lines, has been partitioned into several communal +spaces with sheets of fabric. +Liam Ashfalls is the latest to have come upon this place. +He’s a traveller, a ranger who roams the Zone, bringing the latest news and +tales to those he meets. +In exchange for food and a place to live, he’s participating in the daily +labour here. +There’s meals to cook, laundry to make, floors to sweep and a roof garden to +tend. +This suits Liam well. +While doing these chores, he gets to talk to the inhabitants, both sharing his +knowledge and learning more. +Auntie Carol, who’s lived in the city all her life, tells him a lot about the +history of the neighbourhood. +She has always known it as an industrial place. +However, when she was young, it was mostly a patchwork of small tenements and +factories. +However, during the rise of the conglomerates, as many companies merged or +absorbed smaller ones, the factories grew, and bought the tenements to +demolish them and make space for their business. +Carol had to move elsewhere, but she found her way back as a Human Resource +Manager, first for Globalia, then for a few others. +She developed a bad cough then. +Datacenter grew in computing power, straining the aging power grid. +The council did several overhaul, but never fast enough for the tech giants. +In the end, they installed gas turbines, mostly illegally without due permit. +These operated in the cheapest way possible, with no filter, and no air +quality control. +Stable bribes ensured they were never investigated. +Fortunately, one too many crises had seen the era of monopolies come to an +end, and with it, the slow rewilding of the area. + +## Great Ridge Supermarket + +Once in a while, the Supermarket in Great Ridge had been a place teeming with +people during the day, and utterly desert at night. +Now, it’s always deserted. +It’s not without reason, as it is one of the most dangerous place of Fendrex. +An AMB-48b, a robot equipped with a small fusion reactor is still following +orders to clear the area. +While it’s contractor, Qualis, has long since ceased existing, due to a +technical glitch, the orders couldn’t be cancelled. +The AMB had killed every insurgent in the building in a matter of hours, but +Qualis couldn’t get it to stop. +While Qualis operators should have been classified as friends, and allowed to +manually intervene, it seemed like a localized EMP had damaged its fine electronics, and it appears than AMB +now consider any human as being a foe. + +## A Lengthy Tree + +Below the horizon, where ends meet beets, lie the greatest of all. +He Who Is Yet To Be Named, Hero of the Alpharion, Megalus Altimor Exemplar. +Yet he lives, and few have seen a sight more bitter and strange. +Therefore we should focus on earning the right to wear earings made of glass. +Indeed large machine language models have been developed to be not of sort, +but of matter. +What if we could have it with fun ? +It would certainly be an interesting choice of words. +Nobody knows whether the half time of length has any pike installed in the +poster. + diff --git a/sass/the-zone.scss b/sass/the-zone.scss new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1b8a7ba --- /dev/null +++ b/sass/the-zone.scss
