ALRIGHT, SO I TOOK THE MAINTENANCE TUNNELS FROM THE RADIATION ZONE UP THROUGH TO THE NORTHWEST RESIDENTIAL AREA. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE ELSE MENTION THIS SHIT SPECIFICALLY YET, SO HERE'S A BASIC OVERVIEW OF WHAT I FOUND:

1. A WHOLE FUCKLOAD OF NOTHING. THERE ARE NO SUPPLIES DOWN THERE SO DON'T BOTHER CHECKING. THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANY ANOMALIES EITHER, BUT I DON'T WANNA JINX THAT? SO BE CAREFUL.

2. YOU CAN TRAVEL AND STAY IN THEM OVERNIGHT. BE FREE FROM THE CONFINES IMPOSED BY SNOWHELL'S INFURIATING LOCKDOWN. GOD THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A THING SOONER, WHY WERE THE TUNNELS EVEN *LOCKED* WHEN THEY'RE THIS USEFUL? IT'S NONSENSICAL.

3. THERE IS A GIGANTIC FUCKING MAZE UP NORTH WITH A TRULY ABSURD ABOUT OF TWISTS, TURNS, AND DEAD ENDS. I *THINK* IT'S ROUGHLY UNDERNEATH THE SPLIT TUNNELS? SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF MARKING OFF WHERE THE DEAD ENDS ARE, BUT WHO KNOWS IF THOSE SIGNS ARE STILL UP. I HAVEN'T GONE BACK TO CHECK BECAUSE I'M FUCKING BUSY, SO IF THEY'RE MISSING NOW, SORRY, AND IF THEY'RE NOT, YOU'RE WELCOME.

OH, AND 4. THERE ARE NO GODDAMN LIGHTS DOWN THERE, SO BE SURE TO BRING A HANDHELD ILLUMINATION DEVICE OR SOMETHING. THE LIGHT FROM YOUR TABLET SHOULD HELP BUT IF YOU'RE TRAVELING WITH PEOPLE IT'S BETTER TO HAVE TWO OR MORE OUT SO YOU DON'T GET FUCKING LOST.

I HAVE SOME PICTURES, BUT THERE'S NOT MUCH TO SEE DOWN THERE. OH, AND IF ANYONE ELSE HAS SOME EXPERIENCES OR INFORMATION TO SHARE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL DO IT HERE SO IT'S ALL IN ONE PLACE? AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN THROUGH THE WHOLE THING SO SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE TO ANSWER OR WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT AND FIND OUT.

[And, as promised, he'll be including some pictures of the tunnels, the hubs, and a few of his scrawled warnings about an upcoming dead end. In some of the shots, a pair of luminescent cat eyes can be seen peering through the dark; others are lit up by a tablet or the flickering flame of a solitary lighter.]
