[UA] Help Debugging a Scenario

[Dean Reilly]

Sounds interesting- perhaps you could include a bunch of  eerily-plausible doomsday scenarios, like ways to wipe out entire  cities by poisoning a few strategic water sources, or immobilising a  government by rendering a few carefully-chosen officials unreachable-  stuff that a duke or cabal could reproduce or use without needing  millions/billions in funding and advanced degrees in aeronautical  engineering.  When the PCs eventually find this Otherspace, the  footprints in the dust (of course there's dust- it's an outmoded Cold  War Otherspace) lead straight past the shiny war-porn, and to a  battered filing cabinet in the corner...
  
  For ideas on this score, I recommend Warren Ellis' 12-issue comic series 'Global Frequency', as well as 'Reload', ibid.

of an otherspace with an attached scenario that gives an excuse to 
explore it.   I've got most of it written, but I could really use some 
help debugging/tweaking it.   In particular, I really need someone who's 
been in the Air Force to go through it, as all I know about the armed 
services I got from wikipedia, GlobalSecurity.org, and Tom Clancy.   The 
file's a bit large to post to the list, so e-mail me off-list if you're 
interested, but here's a quick summary:

   The AGM-48 Skybolt air-launched ballistic missile, the B-70 Valkyrie 
supersonic bomber, and the MOL surveillance station all have one thing 
in common: they never existed.   Maybe there was a prototype or two, 
maybe even a few test flights, but they never got beyond that.   The 
programs were too expensive, or too unworkable, or just nobody could 
think of a reason to build them.   So they were cancelled.
   But research projects don't always die all the way.   They linger in 
some forgotten corner of the military-industrial complex's collective 
unconscience, an otherspace called the Bunker.   A labyrinth of tunnels 
and underground hangars, the Bunker houses a vast collection of weapons 
that never were, from the end of World War II to the end of the Cold War.
   And now someone's found a way inside...
