 ====== FIRETOWN GARBAGE COLLECTION COOP (FGCC) ======
+{{:plant_of_the_firetown_garbage_collection2.png?600|}}
 ===== Overview =====
   * **Location:** Industrial Ring, [[firetown|Firetown]]
-  * **Address:** SE Industrial Ring Road 1
+  * **Address:** SW Industrial Ring Road 1
-  * **Surroundings:** Close to the [[firetown_market|Firetown Market]] and within reach of the Entertainment District, making it a logistical hub for both official refuse and unofficial “disposals.”
+  * **Surroundings:** Adjacent to [[firetown_tool_and_machine_works|Firetown Tool & Machine Works]]
 Founded in December 2628, almost two years after Firetown’s official establishment, the Firetown Garbage Collection Coop (FGCC) emerged from an official call by the [[contact_person|Contact Person]] of Firetown to organize waste management for the fast-growing settlement.

 ===== Architectural Significance =====
-  * **Construction Material:** Volcanic stones, corrugated hull-plating sheds salvaged from [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] cargo containers.
+  * **Construction Material:** Modular container units and salvaged spaceship hull sections of the[[last_frontier| Last Frontier]] welded into a low, sprawling depot. Reinforced steel beams, patchwork plating, and reclaimed bulkhead doors dominate the structure. Wooden elements — loading ramps, railings, and internal partitions — are rough, oil-stained, and visibly repaired over time.
   * **Floors:** Single storey depot with an attached carriage shed.
-  * **Design Aesthetic:** Utilitarian frontier style — soot-blackened walls, roof vents spewing acrid smoke, open yard stacked with refuse piles.
+  * **Design Aesthetic:** Utilitarian frontier style — built for volume rather than longevity or beauty. Everything is oversized, blunt, and functional: wide gates, low ceilings, exposed piping, and reinforced corners for impacts from carts and machinery. Nothing here is decorative — everything exists to be washed, burned, welded, or replaced.
-  * **Power Source:** [[geothermal_power_plant|Geothermal Power Plant]], [[quantum_fusion_batteries|Quantum Fusion Batteries]]
+  * **Geothermal Feed Vents:** Insulated steel stacks and vent assemblies integrated into the rear façade, channeling heat and hot water from the [[geothermal_power_plant|Geothermal Power Plant]] to maintain interior temperature
+  * **Air Vents / Heat Recovery Ventilator:** The building's air exchange was managed by a centralized, mechanical ventilation system with a central intake on the exterior of the building.
+  * **Power Supply:** [[quantum_fusion_batteries|Quantum Fusion Battery]]
 ===== Building Structure =====
-**Perimeter**
+**Perimeter and Yard**
+  * **Fence:** Three-meter-high fence of welded scrap panels and container siding, topped with bent rebar and broken hull ribs. One wide sliding gate allows refuse wagons to enter the yard.
+  * **Open Yard:** Muddy, ash-caked ground reinforced with steel plates. Refuse piles sit in marked zones — burnables, recyclables, sealed consignments — under tarps weighed down with scrap.
-  * **Fence:** 2 m stony palisade reinforced with scrap iron; one wagon gate.
 **Depot Hall**
-  * **Sorting Yard:** Covered area where employees unloaded carts, refuse separated into combustibles, recyclables, and “special consignments.”
+  * **Sorting Floor:** Central open hall where Trash-Tonis unload carts. Waste is dumped onto steel sorting tables or directly onto the floor for quick triage. Drainage channels cut into the concrete carry runoff toward heat vents.
-  * **Incinerator Pit:** Lava-stone funnel where interim burning took place before weekly volcano runs.
+  * **Temporary Burn Chute:** A reinforced steel funnel used for immediate destruction of sensitive material. Not hot enough for full incineration — just enough to ruin evidence before volcano runs.
-  * **Carriage Shed:** Housing for five to seven [[hoos|Hoos]] and their refuse carts, with feeding troughs and hay storage.
+  * **Carriage & Hoo Bay:** Enclosed but poorly ventilated stable area for five to seven [[hoos|Hoos]]. Harness racks, feed bins, and repair hooks line the walls. The floor is perpetually damp, warm, and foul-smelling.
-  * **Office Shack:** desk, coop registry, and bribe-fund lockbox.
+  * **Operations Office:** A container-module office bolted to the side of the hall. Contains desk, ledgers, route boards, and a locked steel cabinet.
-  * **Break Corner:** Rough benches, water barrel, dice board for staff
+  * **Break Nook:** Crude wooden benches, a scorched tabletop, and a dice board scratched directly into the wood. Coffee substitutes and cheap liquor bottles are often hidden here.
   * **Restrooms (2):** Simple genderneutral cubicles equipped with [[aurorasan_system|AuroraSan]] units for basic hygiene.
 ===== Look and Feel =====
-The FGCC site reeked of rot and ash. Black smoke clung to the depot rafters. Hoos stamped nervously in their stalls, the air thick with dung and scorched metal. Trash-Tonis, faces smudged with soot, dragged sacks from doorsteps to carriages, their laughter often masking darker duties. Visitors sensed an unsettling mix of honest labor and criminal undercurrent — a place where waste and secrets alike vanished without a trace.
+The air is damp, and heavy with the combined stink of rot, oil, wet metal, and scorched waste. Steam coils through the compound, rising from vents and pipes like breath from something alive. Extraction fans roar overhead, rattling container walls and drowning out quieter sounds — voices, arguments, confessions.
+Inside the depot hall, everything is smeared with soot and grime. Steel surfaces are scratched raw, floors slick with runoff. Trash-Tonis move with practiced indifference, dragging sacks that thud far heavier than they should. Hoos snort and stamp in their bays, uneasy in the constant noise and heat.
+There’s no sense of urgency here — only routine. Things arrive. Things vanish. Visitors feel it immediately: this is not a place where questions are asked, and certainly not answered. Whatever crosses the threshold of the FGCC is already halfway gone.
