   * **Materials:** The plant is assembled from stacked industrial cargo containers, reinforced with salvaged spaceship hull plating from the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]]. Containers are partially sunk into volcanic ground to stabilize them against tremors and wind shear.
-  * **Design:** Low, bunker‐style profile to anchor heavy wells and turbines against quakes
+  * **Design:** Entirely functional and deliberately inelegant. Every visible element communicates heat, pressure, and risk — the architecture of necessity rather than planning.
   * **Wells & Loops:** Dual‐well extraction system with surge‐buffer tanks and pre-insulated heating ducts

 ===== Look and Feel =====
-A deep, throaty rumble resonates as steam hisses through insulated flues. Corridors glow with sodium‐vine lamps that reflect off wet stone floors slick with condensate. The sulfurous tang of volcanic steam hangs heavy, while the clatter of [[maintenance_bots|Maintenance Bots]]’ tool-arms and pop-hiss of pressure‐release valves underscore the ceaseless machine rhythms. Outside, the dark stone façade is streaked with mineral runoff; guard-troopers’ boots crunch on gravel under the watchful beam of a lone [[guarding_bots|Guarding Bot]] at the gate.
+The Geothermal Power Plant never truly rests.
+A deep, constant rumble vibrates through the container walls as superheated steam roars through exposed pipes. Condensation beads on metal surfaces and drips onto black volcanic gravel below, where ice forms and cracks underfoot. Steam clouds billow endlessly, torn apart by icy winds from the Ralar highlands.
+Inside, corridors are narrow and metallic, lit by harsh industrial lamps and emergency strips. The air smells of sulfur, wet stone, hot metal, and oil. Control rooms hum with generators and analog consoles, their surfaces worn smooth by gloved hands. Valves hiss, pressure gauges tremble, and warning placards are scratched and half-burned.
+Outside the perimeter, the wilderness presses close: frozen ash, volcanic rock, and darkness. The glow of Firetown’s industrial ring is visible only in the distance. Here, heat is survival — and failure would be catastrophic.
