==Points of Interest== ===The Wall=== A large construction of possible parahuman make or influence.<ref name="I18 e1">Elle opened the window into a proper exit, complete with a staircase leading to the road behind the hotel. Faultline paused to look at the looming stone wall, only a few blocks away. Three hundred feet tall, it was all smooth stone. Parahuman made, no doubt. The barrier encircled the area the Simurgh had attacked, containing everything within.<br/><br/>Every house and building within three hundred feet of the wall itself had been bulldozed. She couldn’t help but feel conspicuous as they crossed the open area. It was dark, there weren’t any spotlights, but she couldn’t help but be paranoid.<br/><br/>“Cell phones are dead,” Shamrock commented.<br/><br/>Faultline nodded grimly. Of course there wouldn’t be any transmissions into or out of this area. No messages of any sort would be permitted. Not even water entered or left the quarantine area, let alone communications or goods. Anyone still inside was left to fend for themselves with whatever resources they could gather.<br/><br/>She’d checked and double checked the measures authorities were taking, ensuring that the area wasn’t being watched for intruders. There weren’t any people on the wall, and the only surveillance was busy keeping an eye out for anyone who might be trying to make it over the top of the wall. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/14/interlude-18-donation-bonus-4/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18.f]]</ref> The wall has guard towers and the main PRT facility is at a main entrance that is presumably opposite to where [[Faultline’s Crew]] entered. Instead of having a guard building or embassy within the zone announcements are made over the wall whenever something needs to be communicated.<ref name="R2.5 e2">'''themanwhowas''': :4.What channels of communication are there in the quarantine zones? An official PRT embassy of sorts, with Dragon-moderated contacts, like the hospital in the Travelers interlude?<br/><br/>'''Wildbow''': :4.No embassy, limited communications. The PRT periodically makes announcements from the walls. There was a presence of capes and forces who established an initial presence, but they were allowed out, separately quarantined, and went through an accelerated extraction after a short duration. - Excerpt from a [https://redd.it/3ec7eu Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> An electronic deadzone is maintained outside the wall for several feet to prevent occupants inside the wall from communicating.<ref name="I18 e1"/> There is a three hundred foot bulldozed section between the actual wall and the remaining sections of the city.<ref name="I18 e1"/> ===Inside the Wall=== {{Incomplete}} The quarantine zone covers a wide area,{{Ref|name=R2.5 e4|'''themanwhowas''': :6.How large are the zones? A mile in diameter? Five? Ten? Is it as far as the Simurgh's psychic scream, and if so, what is that range?<br/><br/>'''Wildbow''': :6.Scream's rage varies. Fight took place over hours and covered an area of the city. Covered roughly the following area: http://i.imgur.com/sRbKrDI.png| https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/3ec7eu/ /ctht547|Excerpt from Reddit Conversation}} including several important buildings that were built and occupied before the early 1980s. As such well before the [[Timeline#1978|timeline division]]. ====St. Mary’s Hospital==== The basic hospital site that processed detainees and provided medical care.{{Ref|name=17.6e1|''“…final decisions. In the meantime, plans are underway to build permanent blockades around the affected area, with concrete walls placed South Midvale Boulevard to the west, Capitol Square to the east, and Haywood Drive to the south. A quarantine processing center is already established at St. Mary’s Hospital, servicing city residents who were not evacuated before temporary blockades were set up.''<br><br>''“Restitution will be offered to citizens displaced from their homes, paid for with international funding. Authorities report that no catastrophic damage was done, and the situation was quickly brought under control by the first responders to the scene. Chicago Protectorate leader Myrddin is quoted as stating, ‘This is a win for the good guys. Scion arrived early to put the pressure on within minutes of her arrival and Eidolon delivered the final blows, driving her off. We’re getting better at fighting these guys, and it’s showing.’''<br><br>''“However, insider sources in the PRT suggest that things are not so glowing. A vault holding the equipment of now-deceased supervillain ‘[[Professor Haywire]]’ was accessed by the Simurgh. Shortly after, the source alleges, the Simurgh activated a large-scale replica of the devices, depositing large amounts of foreign bodies in the heart of the city. Among these bodies, multiple reports say, were innumerable monsters with superpowers and hazardous materials. When asked, the Chicago PRT director declined to comment, except to say that there have been no breaches of quarantine and there is no indication of risk to anyone in the vicinity of the quarantine zone.”''|#Migration 17.6}} <!-- List any additional notable locations within this area, and link to their in wikipedia if possible, especially they were being built or had been completed before 1978-1982 --> ====College Campus==== Within the Quarantine the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which would likely have had minimal staff given the winter holidays. Selected examples of buildings within include the imposing [[Wikipedia:University of Wisconsin–Madison#George L. Mosse Humanities Building|Humanities Building dedicated to George Mosse]]<ref>Seen in this [https://www.tonemadison.com/articles/towards-an-appreciation-of-brutalism-or-the-humanities-building-is-actually-good Review and history of the Building]</ref> It contains upwards of 16 schools for various disciplines including Engineering, Medicine and Languages. Also within the quarantine area are some resident halls and university bookstores. ====Animal Zoo==== The [[Wikipedia:Henry Vilas Zoo|Henry Vilas Zoo]] Is close to 100 years old and include exotic animals the world over. ===State Capitol Building=== The state government was likely in recess. ===Parks=== There are numerous open areas with a somewhat natural habitat in the area.
