===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"/>
