====== SCHREDER PHARMA INC.FACTORY ======

===== Overview =====

  * **Location:** Industrial Ring, [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]
  * **Address:** SE Industrial Ring Road 4
  *  * **Surroundings:** Shares a manufacturing corridor with the [[new_kourou_relay_station|New Kourou Relay Station]] to the west and the [[headquarters_of_the_new_kourou_robotics_syndicate|New Kourou Robotics Syndicate]] to the east, forming a critical-infrastructure triangle for the settlement.

Erected from salvaged [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] plating, the Factory of [[schreder_pharma_inc|Schreder Pharma Inc.]] became the only medicines plant in the [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]], covering everything from basic antibiotics to nano-vial injectables.

Fire damage during the crash destroyed a large share of the [[manual_labor_bots|Manual Labor Bots]], and the surviving units were reassigned to high-priority farming in the [[Hope|Hope Region]] and to [[trade_route|Trade Route]] construction projects. As a result, production here relies mainly on [[the_humans|Exohuman]] line workers, supported by semi-automated rigs powered by scarce [[quantum_fusion_batteries|Quantum Fusion Batteries]]. Despite private ownership, the plant is classed as critical infrastructure.

After [[communardism|Communardism’s]] rise in 2631, Schreder Pharma Inc. was nationalized and reorganized as the [[Federal Pharma Manufactory|Federal Pharma Manufactory]] under the [[federal_allotment_agency|Federal Allotment Agency]], with Dr. Schreder appointed as the Manufactory’s Director.

===== Architectural Significance =====

  * **Construction Material:** Crumple-straightened hull beams, cargo-bay girder kits, and med-lab wall panels from the Last Frontier.
  * **Floors:** 2 in the main factory hall + single-storey warehouse.
  * **Design Aesthetic:** “Scrap-yard high-tech” — patch-welded cladding, exposed conduit cages, and gleaming stainless bioreactors side-by-side.
  * **Power Source:** Two QFB stacks in a shielded annex

===== Building Structure =====

**Perimeter**

  * **Security Fence:** 3 m alloy mesh topped with salvage-blade spikes, one monitored main gate.

**Factory Hall **

  * **Raw-Compound Feed Zone:** Drum off-loading, solvent tanks, and reagent hoppers.
  * **Synthesis Lines (3):** Automated mixers, temperature-controlled vats, and nano-filter columns overseen by human technicians.
  * **Tableting & Encapsulation Row:** Semi-automated presses; manual quality spot-checks every 100 units.
  * **Nano-Vial Clean-Room:** Gloved ports, laminar-flow hoods, and precision filling arms powered by QFB micro-cells.
  * **Locker Room & W.C.:** Personal lockers, decontam shower, and two [[aurorasan_system|AuroraSan]] toilets.  
  * **Break Room:** Recycled shuttle-galley benches, hydration dispenser, and nutrient bar rack for 12 workers.

  * **Finished-Goods Racks:** Colour-coded totes for antibiotics, analgesics, and nanite cartridges.
  * **Courier Loading Bay:** Roller track to the [[new_kourou_courier_service|New Kourou Courier Service]] dock; Butler Bot scans outbound crates.

===== Look and Feel =====

Inside is a clash of eras: dented bulkhead walls spattered with bright hazard paint; overhead, spot-LEDs flicker from power dips. Chemical vapour hisses through repurposed life-support ducting, mixing with the oily scent of lubricated piston presses. Workers in mismatched ship-era smocks thread between gleaming reactor columns, while Guarding Bots click past on fixed patrol intervals, servos humming quietly.

  * **Butler Bot – Warehouse (1):** The [[butler_bots|Butler Bot]] scans barcodes, prints manifests, guides courier crews.
  * **Cleaning Bot – Clean-Room (2):** Maintains ISO-grade sterility between nano-vial batches.

===== Security Measures =====

  * **Guarding Bot Patrols:** Three [[guarding_bots|Guarding Bots]] rotate between the perimeter fence, factory hall, and warehouse loop, each armed with [[guarding_troopers_stun_gun|Guarding Trooper Stun Guns]].
  * **QFB Vault Protection:** Access to the shielded battery annex requires **triple authentication** — Plant Manager biometrics, a Guarding Bot pass-key, and a daily rotating code.
  * **Inventory & Tracking System:** All finished-goods crates are RFID-tagged; any pallet that leaves an authorised zone without a valid manifest triggers an instant shutdown of loading-bay doors and a Bot alert.
  * **Plant Lockdown Protocol:** A security breach or QFB anomaly cues the control mezzanine to seal fire doors, cut power to synthesis lines, and page the [[guarding_troopers|Guarding Troopers]].
===== Player Interaction Possibilities (Legal and Illegal) =====

**Legal interactions:**

  * Escort a high-value nano-vial shipment to the Pharmacy.
  * Diagnose a reactor-control fault threatening a production shutdown.
  * Negotiate emergency anti-viral batch production during an outbreak.

**Illegal interactions:**

  * Sneak through the fence to steal QFB cores or experimental meds.
  * Bribe a Line Worker to mis-label contraband stimulants.
  * Upload malware to the Butler Bot to divert crates to the black market.
  * Disable a Guarding Bot’s patrol routine for a timed break-in.

===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====

The factory offers layered security, chemical hazards, and moral gray zones:

  * A QFB overload could explode, forcing players to balance evacuation vs. saving priceless medicine.
  * Workers plan a strike over exposure risks—do players aid them or the corporate guards?
  * A rival faction wants Schreder’s nano-formula; infiltration can be stealth, social engineering, or full assault.
