Outpost Ventilation System

Imperial Outpost Ventilation Shaft Repairs
Adeptus Mechanicus

Greetings, tech priests. Let's cover the basics of the outpost's vent system. It might be necessary to know if you are to keep the outpost running.

So... There's a network of large pipes under the outpost. These are, coincidentally, roughly large enough for a human to crawl through. If you are going to do that make sure to be careful of CO2 buildups. Also the floors are a little slippery, these pipes have plumbing run through them in smaller pipes and sometimes those leak.

The point is, you should know how to service a ventilation shaft. To open up a vent shaft, weld it in place and then remove the fan blade with a screwdriver. To close it, use the screwdriver again to reconnect the fan blade.

While it is open a crowbar may be used to remove or replace the supports in the shaft. The supports are needed for the thing to hold together with a person standing on them. A functional tech priest will need to know how to replace the supports if they are damaged or removed by another.

The pump below the vent may be used as a route out of the piping system if the shaft is opened from this underside. It may also be wrenched to reverse the way the vent pumps. However, reversing it is highly inadvisable since this means it will filter the air in the pipes below and vent any impurities above on the outpost.

There are also a number of maintenance storage rooms situated below the outpost. These are useful storage facilities if you care to use them.
