I'm in the tunnels. About a 15 minute walk. Old hospital that was shut down a few decades ago that is now another business that some may be familiar with. I do maintenance for two, soon to be three sites and I basically babysit a building. Ancient 1800s bullshit that has been decommissioned for god knows how fucking long. Some of those are steam pipes for steam heating and power, now long dead.

Babysit some boilers, swap out a controller or board from a limited supply of domestic parts from businesses that vaporized in the 80s. Babysit RTUs, replace some pump seals every few months because they don't have water softeners which is a project in itself. Not that iron pipes help anyways

Pretty sure there's an ammonia system down at the other building that made my fucking eyes bug out. I have no idea what the fuck they're doing with it or if it gets maintained. Not fuckin touching that.

cooling tower shut off and sensor housing

I have no fucking idea what this room was. Completely abandoned at this point.

Better draw a big pentagram on the floor of that abandoned room just to be safe.

    That's dope as hell; I too would prefer to get exploited by capitalism in an endless maze of untraceable infrastructure instead of being bored. That's a great set of pipes.
