Moon settlement

Masterpost

The moon settlement is an ecosystem completely isolated from the external environment, a significant part of which is occupied by a Slime Lake, which fills not only the reservoir allocated to it, but also seeps into the adjacent layers of soil. Water circulation occurs naturally due to the fact that it evaporates from the surface of the lake and condenses on the dome, collecting in gutters specially designed for this purpose. Part of it is sent to the reservoir at the top of the tower, the other part flows into the ditch surrounding the entire settlement, from where it is distributed among the residents in the volume they need. Each sector is permeated by a dense network of water and sewer pipes. The sewage system is not directly connected to the lake, but first passes through treatment ponds filled with special plants that remove organic matter from the water. For the residential sectors and Garden/Greenhouse (marked in gray and green), only this type of treatment is sufficient, while the industrial sector (marked in red) is separated from the lake by an additional ring of treatment facilities, since its waste may contain more harmful and hazardous substances.

The main part of the settlement space is organized in tiers, where the roof of the lower one is at the same time the street of the upper one (each tier is 10 meters high and 30 meters wide and contains 2 living floors above the ground and 2 below it). In each of the sectors there is a square with teleports (60x60 meters), connecting the most remote parts of the settlement with each other. The central tower is also partly residential, but first of all it is a huge “office center”, where the hospital, royal library, architectural bureau, law enforcement and other departments are located.

On the lowest underground floor of the tower you can find that same teleport leading to the planet. It is constantly surrounded by water, so it was easier for the guards to hold the defense, however, the room with it is reliably isolated and cleaned manually so that the water, in case of poisoning by the infected, does not leak into the lake.

Psychedelic drug ibogaine hailed as healing. U.S. patients ask why it’s illegal.

An iboga shrub in Libreville, Gabon. Ibogaine is an extract from the plant.

After three decades and five combat deployments in Navy Special Operations, Stephen Jones’s life spiraled into blackouts, bouts of angry confusion and alcohol-fueled benders. Doctors diagnosed him with traumatic brain injuries inflicted by years of sea dives, parachute jumps, firefights and bomb blasts.

The extract of an ancient African shrub known as ibogaine, he says, helped heal him.

His treatment unfolded at a clinic in Mexico, where he sank into a dreamlike state, reliving forgotten memories: a lake-view as a child; a snake popping out of a pile of leaves; a young boy dead in Iraq, his head pierced by shrapnel from an enemy grenade. Ibogaine, he said, kicked his brain “into a higher gear.”

Jones, 59, was part of a Stanford University study published in January showing that ibogaine dramatically improved symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder in 30 Special Operations veterans diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries.

For advocates, that study offers the latest evidence that patients should have access to the drug in the United States, where it remains illegal despite decades of encouraging findings, principally for use treating addiction. Even as momentum could be shifting in ibogaine’s favor, concerns persist about the threat the drug poses to the heart, reflecting a risk-reward calculation that frames studies of other psychedelic agents.

The increased interest in ibogaine arrives amid urgent efforts to ease the nation’s deadly addiction crisis and comes as companies race to develop psychedelics to treat mental health ailments. In Ohio, a prominent ibogaine advocate in February partnered with a nonprofit that supports people with addiction and called for using state opioid-settlement money to study the drug. It mirrors a much-publicized plan in Kentucky that sought to allocate up to $42 million in settlement money for research, an effort that fizzled amid shifting politics.

“Ohio is one of the nation’s leaders when it comes to opioid deaths. It’s natural fertile soil for research and development of ibogaine,” said W. Bryan Hubbard, who directed the Kentucky commission that considered that state’s ibogaine plan and is working with an Ohio state treasury program to explore ibogaine and other treatments for veterans.

In Mexico, Jones swallowed capsules over several hours, shook a tambourine to the beat of tribal music, laid on a yoga mat and slipped a mask over his eyes. He emerged from his long psychedelic trip feeling motivated and drinking less. Family relationships improved. He returned to running and surfing.

“For a disabled veteran, I can do some amazing [stuff],” Jones said, who teared up remembering his experience. “I can’t believe I’m back in the water shredding waves.”

The following is the second chapter of a novel I wrote based on the original treatment of Star Wars in 1973 by George Lucas. Though the synopsis was vague, the novel was fun to write and I think it came out quite well. I submit it here because there is no way Disney will allow me to publish this. So, enjoy and tell me what you thought? I will be publishing a chapter each week.

chapter two

Interplanetary outlaws

The twin suns broke over a desolate and fractured horizon bathing the rolling prairies in a golden hue. The low bluffs surrounding the flatlands resembled baked biscuits stacked upon one another.

   Five metal and stone structures bleached white by the gaze of the twin suns huddled together tightly, for the company as much as for protection. Yellow and dry weeds sporadically sprung up about the grit-laden settlement. The squat and domed buildings formed the nexus of the small farming community of Anchorhead.

   At the far end of the sleepy town, in a yard surrounded by a crumbling wall of stone a meter in height, the small two-story farmhouse was quiet. The only noise was the constant squeaking from the weathervane behind the home. The vane looked as if it was constructed from scrap metal.

   The farmhouse itself was an adobe-style structure also whitewashed from the bleaching of the two suns. The blocky home had an upstairs balcony topped with a blue and dusty tarp to blanket the heat. To the left of the building was an open garage where sat a beat-up transport vehicle.

   Behind the house was a half-kilometer-long row of dead and blackened vegetation. The plastic sheets used to keep the produce hydrated were torn and tattered. To the right of the desolate garden towered a cylindrical silo of brick concrete. The door to the silo had been left open and rotted vegetation spilled out onto the arid soil.

   General Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, their bodies aching with fatigue and covered in grit and dust, approached the farmhouse with caution. Presently the dusty, early morning unpaved street they walked was quiet and deserted. Sandflies buzzed lazily in the cracked eaves of pourstone buildings. A dog barked in the distance, the sole sign of habitation.

   “Your Grace,” The General whispered. “Remain behind me. There are a lot of scared and confused people about.”

   The two approached the front porch of the modest home. The entrance was a shut metal hatch salvaged from a space freighter. Solid and thick and lined with dust. The moment Skywalker was about to knock on the door, the hatch slid open and a long chrome barrel of a blaster rifle was pointed straight at his forehead.

   “Get off my property! There’s nothing to loot here!” Barked a gruff voice from the darkness of the farmhouse.

   “Dalton! Put that rifle down! You’re going to get yourself killed!” Pleaded a matronly voice from within the house.

   “I’d listen to the lady,” Skywalker sternly advised. With hands raised, his unblinking gaze remained set on where the face of the owner of the rifle might be.

   “Don’t make me ask twice…oh? Oh!” The rifle disappeared and was replaced by the stout form of a middle-aged farmer. He was dressed in unassuming overalls and sported an unkempt beard and a shock of lanky hair. Instantly, he bowed his head, “General Skywalker! My chieftain, please, forgive me.”

   Skywalker’s face dissolved from a terse scowl to a placating grin, “That’s all right. Under the circumstances, I don’t blame you, citizen. May we come in?”

   “Of course, sir!” Dalton stepped out of his way and gestured inside.

   The general stood in the doorway allowing his eyes to adjust to the dim interior of the farmhouse. He glanced about. These were simple folk with basic needs.

   The interior was spartan but emitted a warm feeling of comfort and home. Several rudimentary furnishings were placed about - chairs, a table, a sofa, and end tables with lamps. All well used. His eyes fell upon the only ornament, a holo-pic fastened to the wall above the cooling unit of a man, a woman, and a son. All smiling and happy. To his right was the doorway which led to a modest kitchen located under the upstairs balcony and to his left a set of wooden stairs that offered access to the second floor.

   A portly woman in her mid-forties emerged from the kitchen and stood next to her husband. With a look of shock and reverence, they bowed at the hip when their gaze fell upon the girl accompanying the general.

   “Your Highness!” The two farmers recited with admiration.

   “Please rise.” The princess said with a warm smile. “Thank you for allowing us to be guests in your home.”

   “I am Dalton Montross and this lovely woman here is my wife, Zora. Your Highness, if I may ask, what brings you to Anchorhead?”

   “As you may well know, Aquilae has fallen under attack by the Empire. Utapau is gone. I saw TIE fighters dropping bombs throughout the night.” The general said.

   “Yes! Those noises! They were horrible!” Zora said, clutching her ample chest, “It began as a low rumble followed by a series of thunderous concussions!”

   “Certainly the Royal Guard defended Utapau and its people!” Dalton said, “The Arial Navy? The Rangers?”

   “Gone.” Skywalker said morosely, “All gone.”

   “On the radio, some voice said Gordon is the only spaceport standing and has been designated as the Imperial Capital of Aquilae.”

   The General and the princess glanced knowingly at one another.

   “We need to get to Gordon,” Skywalker said.

   “You need to get to Gordon? Why in heavens…” Dalton sputtered.

   “There is no place of safety on this asteroid for Her Highness. We need to charter a ship out of Gordon that can transport us to Ophuchi. We may have lost this battle, but we are still in the fight,” Skywalker said.

   “Ophuchi?” The farmer contemplated, scrubbing his scruffy whiskers. “That’s a ways. You’ll have to sneak through Imperial territories.”

   “We’ll deal with that once we get to Gordon,” Skywalker said. “Which goes without saying, do you have a mode of transport we could use?”

   “I have a speeder. It’s an old junker, but it’ll get you to where you’re going. To Gordon, at least.”

   The general glanced over his scorched uniform and the princess’s tattered gown.

   “And we’ll require a change of clothes. Gordon is several days away, even by speeder. We’ll have to travel in disguise.” Skywalker stated.

   The farmer’s wife looked over at the princess. Her once pristine gown of white whisper-silk was now soiled with soot and burn marks.

   Zora smiled warmly, “My son was attending the Royal University. You are about the same age and size as him. I may have some clothes to fit you, Your Grace. Please follow me upstairs to his room.”

   Zora led the way as she escorted the princess up the creaking staircase.

   Skywalker turned back to Dalton. “Mister Montross, do you have a holodisc player?”

   “Certainly, sire.” He said gesturing to a small, plastic box. “There on that cupboard. Help yourself.”

   The general removed the disc from the satchel and slid it into the side of the small, boxy mechanism. He pressed a button on the holodisc player and from a lens atop the machine, a twelve-inch hologram of King Bail Organa appeared.

   “General Luke Skywalker,” the king began, he spoke urgently with a voice laced with sadness, “if you are viewing this then the emperor has succeeded in his occupation of Aquilae and I am dead. The emperor and the emperors before him have long desired to seize control of spice production here on Aquilae. For generations, the Jedi-Bendu have protected my family utilizing a strict code of honest valor and kindness. I ask you for one last favor, old friend, to protect my daughter at all costs. She is the last of House Organa and the empire’s stormtroopers will stop at nothing to end my line. They will not triumph, my friend. I have introduced a poisonous mutagen into the matrix of spice farming. Within hours all Aura Spice – on farms, in storage silos, all of it – will perish and become useless. However, within a canister, I have stashed enough pure Aura to grow in secret on another planet. I am certain, as you view this, the Banking Conglomerates of the empire are already dividing up my territories and my financial holdings pilfered. You will find within the satchel enough ampules of Aura to revitalize House Organa from its ashes. Please. Please safeguard my daughter, General Skywalker. You are my only hope.”

   The emitter switched off and the holographic image of the king faded. Skywalker stood tense and pensive, stroking the ashen whiskers of his chin with a gloved hand.

   “The king is truly dead?” Dalton asked with tears welling in his sad eyes.

   “I’m afraid so.” Skywalker affirmed with despondent apathy. He began thinking of the plight of the peoples of this kingdom. The hardship of enduring the oncoming tyranny that will affect their very lives. “Come with us. You and your wife need to get off Aquilae.”

   “No, this is our home. Anyways, where are we to go? We’ll wait it out here. I have faith in you, General. You will prevail and save us all.”

   At that moment, the princess trotted downstairs dressed in traveling clothes. Her burnt and sooty white gown had been replaced by a long-sleeved tunic of dark mauve, a pair of khaki jodhpur breeches, and a set of knee-high leather boots. She had a flight cap similar to the general’s. It covered her ears but was open at the top exposing her auburn hair.

   “How do I look, general?” She smiled and did an impromptu spin with arms outstretched.

   “Not a stormtrooper would recognize you, Your Highness.” The general admitted with an approving grin, but sadness laced his voice. Though she was still a child, he realized the burden of House Organa now weighed on her shoulders.

   “Your turn, my chieftain.” Zora beamed, “I think Dalton has a spare set of clothes or two that might fit you. They may be a bit baggy…”

   “You saying I’m fat?” Dalton interjected.

   “I’m saying your fat.” She nodded to her husband, with hands on wide hips, “Now, follow me if you please upstairs, my chieftain.”

   The wooden steps creaked loudly as the general followed the wife. Dalton and the princess stood in awkward silence for a moment. What was he to say? The Royal daughter of House Organa stood in his humble home.

   He thought, She is my guest and will be treated as any other guest.

   “Your Highness, where are my manners? Please, have a seat. Can I get you something to drink? Water? Jawa juice?”

   Leia smiled warmly, “Water will be fine. Thank you.”

   He dashed into the kitchen. Leia sat as she heard the clanking of utensils coming from the other room. Dalton said loudly, speaking to Leia as if he was gossiping to an old acquaintance, “It was a week ago I received the transmission from the Ministry of Agriculture stating we all were to be compensated for our profit loss and then getting the Royal Decree that our crops would be poisoned. Then and there was when I knew things were bad.”

   Dalton emerged from the kitchen with a glass of ice water. He handed it to the princess who took it with a respectful smile.

   “What will you and your wife do now?” She asked.

   The farmer put his hand on his hip and ran the other through his hair in deep consideration, “Wait this occupation out, I suppose. The emperor took siege of your family’s kingdom without the authorization of the senate. I am certain once the other clans hear from Your Grace of the atrocities committed by Emperor Xerxes, something will be done and things will return to normal.”

   “I assure you I will do everything in my power to correct this, Mister Montross.”

   “That I do not have a doubt. And, you can call me Dalton, if it pleases Your Grace. All my friends do.”

    The princess took a sip of water, smiling warmly at his sincere hospitality. She glided over to the family portrait that hung on the wall and admired it.

   Leia asked, attempting to mask the sadness in her voice, “You had a son at the Royal Academy?”

   “Yes. His name is Ferris. Me and his ma were so proud of him when he was accepted. He should have contacted us by now and let me and his ma know he’s all right.”

   Before the princess could speak, the general returned downstairs in his farmer attire. His clothing was similar to the princess, but he had a tan cloak. His belt holding his blaster and laser sword was fastened around his hip.

   “Well, aren’t you the handsome one, General?” The princess smiled.

   “We must make haste to Gordon, Your Highness. Every second allots the empire time to locate you.” The general said adjusting his tunic here, tugging there.

   “Follow me to the garage and I’ll show you my old speeder.” The farmer said.

   Accompanying Dalton outside, the heat of the twin suns beat down on Skywalker and the princess as they walked to the garage located on the side of the house. A streamlined speeder rested within the dusty and dim coolness of the small garage.

   The vehicle was long and finned, the closed canopied car held two seats in the front and a single seat in the rear that could comfortably hold four passengers. Built with a powerful repulsorlift engine augmented with two air-cooled thrust turbines on either side of the chassis, the X-32 hovered half a meter off the ground during operation. The old speeder was fairly nondescript in appearance and measured four meters in length. The vehicle was capable of crossing rough terrain and well-suited for harsh desert climates.

   It was apparent that old Dalton made extensive use of his speeder, leaving the craft sand-pocked, sun-faded, and missing its portside turbine cowling. With tinkering and careful maintenance, Dalton had kept the landspeeder, to an extent, in good working order.

   “She may not look like much, but the old girl’ll get you to Gordon.”

   “We appreciate your kind hospitality, Mister Montross, allow me to compensate you for your generosity…” The general retrieved a small pouch of credits.

   “Won’t take those, General.” The farmer said with a raised palm. “You keep them. You’ll need them more than I will.”

   The farmer’s wife emerged from the house with a small crate of supplies. “I cullied together the best I could on such short notice. Canned goods, dried noodles, some dried fruit, two liters of water…oh, and this, General.” She handed him a small box.

   He opened the dark brown box to reveal a row of cigarillos. “Tusken Tobacco?”

   “The finest in the eastern territories. For you.” Zora beamed; her cheeks flushed crimson.

   “You are too kind.” General Skywalker smiled humbly.

   Dalton opened the passenger door for the princess and said to Skywalker, “Just safely get to Gordon. Tell the galaxy what the emperor has done then come back and kick these dogs off our land!”

   The princess sat on the dusty passenger seat as Skywalker made his way to the driver’s side.

   “May the Force of Others be with you,” Dalton said earnestly.

   Skywalker stopped and stared at the wife and farmer who stood together. Good people, such as them, were the ones he was fighting for. He curtly nodded, “May the Force of Others be with you, my friends.”

   General Skywalker jumped into the landspeeder causing the recently repaired repulsion floater to list alarmingly to one side until he was able to equalize weight distribution by sliding behind the controls. Maintaining its altitude slightly above the sandy ground, the transport vehicle steadied itself like a boat in a heavy sea. The general gunned the engine, which whined in protest, and as sand erupted behind the floater, he aimed the craft toward the distant spaceport of Gordon.

It was an old rancher’s saying that one could burn one’s eyes out faster by staring straight at the sun-scorched flatlands of Aquilae than from gazing directly into the two suns themselves. Despite its hot and arid climate, the environment was made possible by the installation of an atmosphere factory eons ago after the discovery of the Aura mushroom growing in the shadows of the rocks. The asteroid was gifted only one weather satellite which kept the asteroid in a relatively livable, if hot, climate.

   At midday, the twin suns beat down on the two escaped robots as they made their way across the bleached-white flatlands in which they had crashed.

   C-3PO, his internal thermostat overloaded and edging dangerously toward overheat shutdown, struggled, kicking up clouds of dust as he clumsily worked his way across the desert coastline.

   “What a desolate place this is!” C-3PO said as he turned to glance back at where the crashed shuttle lay half-buried in the sand. His internal gyros were still rattling from the rough landing.

   Landing! That was a landing?

   His memory circuits recalled in orbit the shuttle buckling from the blast, the spinning vista outside the cockpit, and the screaming air as they descended. His vain attempt at trying to level the craft only to ricochet off a towering bluff and skid to a halt against the base of a crescent dune.

   As he looked back at the smoldering craft, its pillar of black smoke billowing upwards to a blue and cloudless sky, he saw little R2-D2 waddling desperately to keep up with his longer-legged friend. A faint puff of minuscule dust particles rose in his wake. Neither robot had been designed for pedal locomotion on such rough terrain, so they had to fight across the unstable surface.

   “Your diodes are burnt out!” Called R2-D2, “Why you were manufactured is beyond my logic transistors. Thanks to you, we’re deserters and will probably be destroyed on sight. And on top of that, do you even know where you are going? All this grit is getting…”

   C-3PO ignored him. He glanced around. Rocks and sand as far as his photoreceptors could see. The dry sand bed stretched out onto a horizon dominated by high sandstone mesas. There was vegetation: succulents, barrel cacti, small-leaved shrubs, and desert grasses. Sparse, but life existed. Behind him began a vast sea of dunes that stretched kilometer after kilometer. The robot reflected that, on the one hand, he ought to be grateful they had come down in one piece. However, as he studied the desolate landscape, perhaps they were better off back on that battle station.

   “Are you listening to me?” R2-D2 called.

   “Not really. You’ve been a constant annoyance since we were assigned to one another,” C-3PO said. “Seriously, who will need a servomech robot in this climate? They’ll just use your casing as a waste bin while I retain my functions as servant and custodian.” Something squeaked in his right leg and he winced. “I’ve got to rest before I fall apart. My internal systems still haven’t recovered from that landing.”

   “Landing? Do you call that a landing? You couldn’t pilot your way out of an open airlock without the aid of a GPS and radar…”

   “Oh, switch off! And, why are you following me? I don’t need you, rust bucket.” C-3PO paused, but R2-D2 did not. The little automaton had performed a sharp turn and was now ambling slowly but steadily in the direction of the nearest outcrop of a mesa.

   “Hey,” C-3PO yelled. R2-D2 ignored the call and continued striding. “Just where do you think you’re going?”

   “Away from you!” R2-D2 shot back. “I hope your joints lock and you become a permanent artifact in this desert. I hope I never…wait! What is this?”

   With one of his clawed hands, the little automaton grabbed something up off the gritty ground.

   The taller robot exhaustedly shuffled over to R2-D2 and glanced at what he was holding. The human-like robot snatched the object out of R2-D2’s grasp.

   “What is that?” C-3PO asked more to himself as he held the thing up to his photoreceptors.

   “Hey!” R2-D2 protested. “That’s mine!”

   C-3PO studied the object. It was a small tube of chrome with an inhaler ejector at one end. Along the side of the tube was a transparent glass that revealed a phosphorescent blue glimmering inside.

   “Aura Spice!” C-3PO said. “We found Aura Spice!”

   “We?” R2-D2 retorted.

   “With this alone, we can purchase passage off this rock and go anywhere in the galaxy we so choose!”

   “You think there might be more?”

   “There has to be! If whoever this belonged to was foolish enough to drop one, they may have dropped more!” C-3PO said excitedly as he glanced about.

   “Let’s get looking!”

   “Here, store this in one of your compartments for safekeeping.” The taller robot returned the inhaler to his cohort.

   “Good idea.” R2-D2 agreed. He placed the inhaler into a small, sealed slot at the front of his chassis.

   Nearby, the pillars and buttresses of bleached calcium along with the bones of some enormous beast fossilized into the ridge of chocolate-colored rock formed an unpromising landmark. Frantically, the two robots began rummaging through the sand, turning over rocks.

   “There has to be more, R2-D2! Over here!”

   The small robot paused briefly to clean its single electronic eye with an auxiliary arm. Then it produced an electronic squeal which was almost, though not quite, a human expression of rage. “Leave me alone! I’m looking! I’m looking!”

   “I found another one!” C-3PO shouted with glee. Emitting a cacophony of clicks and whirs, he ran over to the squat robot holding up his find between two mechanical fingers. “Look!”

   “One for each of us! More! There has to be more!”

   “Hoy!” Echoed a booming voice.

   The two robots froze in fear. The voice reverberated for several seconds.

   “Who’s that?” R2-D2 whispered.

   On top of a low bluff of chocolate brown rock stood a sturdy-looking man with a grey beard. His tan cape fluttered in the hot breeze. He raised his gloved hand and called, “Are you injured? I saw your ship come down!”

   C-3PO bent over R2-D2 and said softly, “He may be a pirate. He’ll steal our spice and junk us for parts.”

   “I don’t like the way he looks.”

   “Here, hide this with the other one,” the copper robot said handing R2-D2 the small inhaler. The squat robot quickly shoved it into his compartment and snapped the case closed.

   The man began approaching the two nervous automatons. They stood still. The stranger was tall and looked strong. The unnerving thing about him was, C-3PO noticed, he didn’t smile. His face was as firm and blank as a poker dealer.

   “Were there any people aboard when you crashed?” The man asked as he approached and stopped in front of the robots.

   “No. Just us.” C-3PO said curtly.

   “You piloted the ship?” The stranger asked as he scrutinized the distant wreckage of the shuttle.

   “Yes.”

   “Amazing. A c1-type robot capable of flying a spaceship? Amazing. What are your operating numbers?” The man asked with both fists firmly placed on his hips.

   The robot nervously glanced at the man’s blaster and then the laser sword. He calculated perhaps the subservient approach was best. “I am C-3PO and this is R2-D2. Nice to make your acquaintance.”

   The stranger’s squinting expression changed when he noticed the Imperial Banner of a red sun on the crumpled wing of the crashed shuttle. He looked down at the servomech robot who remained quiet and asked, “Who’s your master?”

   The little robot clicked and rattled, but didn’t utter a word.

   “Can’t you speak? How do you relate your data? You’re of Corellian manufacture, you should be able to talk. Are you damaged?”

   “He’s fine. Just a little timid around strangers,” C-3PO quickly indicated.

   “Oh? Well, I’m Luke. I harvest spice. Perhaps we can be friends and help one another out. I was traveling to my sister’s evaporator farm when I developed engine problems with my speeder. Your little friend is a servomech, maybe he can help me with repairs and I can give you a lift to the nearest spaceport?”

   “That’s a wonderful idea, I think…”

   Humming quietly to itself, R2-D2 turned and trudged off toward the sandstone ridges as if nothing had happened.

   “Where is your friend going?”

   “Good question. R2-D2, where are you going?” C-3PO called.

   “Thank you for the offer, Mister Luke, but, no thank you. We have other things prioritized at the moment.” R2-D2 politely called back.

   “Get your rusted can back over here! How many people do you think will chance by and offer us assistance before our internal power supplies flatline?”

   R2-D2 halted in his tracks and turned to face the two, “You have a point. Very well, I shall assist you in repairs on your speeder.”

   Luke gestured toward a set of dunes. A biscuit-colored bluff sat on the heat-hazed horizon, “Good, let’s go. I’m camped half a kilometer beyond that ridge. We’ve got to hurry if we’re going to get across the dune hedge by nightfall.”

Far above, in the orbiting space station, Admiral Wilhelm Tarkin stood and read reports of the now victorious battle from an electronic tablet.

   An officer approached and curtly bowed at the hip, “Admiral Tarkin.”

   Tarkin glanced at the officer with rheumy eyes, the worried demeanor of the officer gave away that something was wrong.

   “Report,” Tarkin said.

   “Stormtrooper patrols across the wasteland are dispatching confirmed reports that all crops of sphongos azul have somehow been contaminated. Killed by a type of genetic virus.”

   “All of it?” Tarkin simmered.

   “In the hydroponic fields, warehouses, in silos across the surface – all produce were found blackened and withered. Useless. There is more, sir.”

   Tarkin’s face became livid, “More?”

   “The emperor has ordered the Battlestar to be returned to the shipyards for service. He has observed that the expenditures of this campaign have gone far too long to budget for the use of a Battlestar. We are to return to base immediately.”

   Tarkin stormed off the CIC, screaming unintelligibly in a frenzied rage.

   The officer turned to a row of personnel sitting at their monitors, “Set a course and return the station to the Imperial shipyards at Hubble. Deploy a blockade of stardestroyers in our wake. No one leaves this system alive!”

“There it is,” Luke said as he pointed to the top of a flat ridge.

   The twin suns were low on the horizon and the resting speeder sat in the coolness of long shadows created by a nearby towering bluff of limestone. The front hood of the speeder had been popped open revealing the grungy, yet powerful fusion engine. Various mechanical parts were strewn about the front of its chassis.

   A tent fashioned out of plastic poles and a large dusty tarp of blue had been erected next to the speeder. A young girl sat under the tarp on a large woven blanket preparing noodles with a portable cooker.

   C-3PO stopped next to Luke and said as he glanced at the immobile speeder, “An X-32? And you somehow keep it running?”

   R2-D2 halted next to his friend, “And one that still operates on a fusion intake turbine. I can repair this archaic junkpile with my sensor eye shut off.”

   “Good,” Luke said to the small robot, “See what you can do and you’ll be in a spaceship by the end of a fortnight.”

   The group approached the impromptu encampment. The young girl stopped stirring the noodles as she studied the two automatons.

   “Found some new friends?” She asked, returning her attention to the cooking. “I wonder what other superfluous surprises await us out in the wastelands?”

   The general took a flask of water hanging on a beam that supported the tarp, “These were the only two aboard that ship we saw crash. They’ll help to repair the speeder in trade for passage to Gordon.”

   “There were no others? Just the robots?” She asked sadly.

   “Hello, my name is C-3PO and this is my counterpart R2-D2. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

   “Hello,” R2-D2 said.

   The princess softly smiled and replied with a nod, “Hello.”

   C-3PO turned to Luke and quipped, “What a beautiful daughter you have.”

   The princess issued a chuckle and the general grinned, “She’s not my daughter.”

   “Oh?” C-3PO said taken back. “No disrespect, sir. I was simply…”

   “No disrespect taken.” The general motioned to the speeder and said to the smaller robot, “Think you can have it running by nightfall?”

   “Fixed? Yes. Running? This bucket of bolts? Maybe.” R2-D2 said as he scooted over to the open canopy of the engine.

   “Excuse my friend,” C-3PO said, “His circuits are still a little jangled from that landing.” He quickly scuttled off and joined his friend.

   The princess sat and scrutinized them.

   “Their ship. Did it fly the banner of House Organa?” She asked.

   The general leaned in and whispered, “It was an Imperial craft, Your Grace.”

   Furious hate filled her eyes as she studied the two robots who already began working on the engine, she hissed through gritted teeth, “We should disintegrate them. At once.”

   “I do not believe they were sent to look for us. They’re programmed for maintenance service only. The engine of that speeder is questionable, at best. They could be an asset.”

   The princess sighed through her petite nostrils, “Very well, General. But, they are your responsibility.”

   “Agreed. And, while we are in their presence, please refrain from using official titles when addressing one another.”

   “Oh?” She chuckled. “And what shall I call you? Father?”

   “No disrespect to Bail Organa is necessary. Perhaps ‘Uncle’ will please Your Highness?”

   She looked up at the stoic man. Even in the ratty attire of a farmer, he looked strong and noble. She smirked, “I like that. You would have been an amazing uncle and a wonderful addition to the family.”

   If she looked close enough, she might have seen a minute tear forming in his squinting eyes.

   He bowed at the hips and said humbly under his breath, “Your Majesty…”

   “Excuse me!” It was the one that was called C-3PO. “Excuse me! Do you have a hydro-spanner? We are having a spot of trouble with removing this bolt.”

   The general called, “There should be one in the toolbox located in the back trunk.”

   The robot waved and made his way to the rear of the speeder.

   “You think they can be trusted?” The princess asked as she added chopped herbs to the boiling noodles.

   “Only time will tell. Rest assured, Your Grace, if they give us the slightest inclination of being Imperial spies, I’ll blast them to atoms.”

There were many number of extraordinary features unique to Aquilae’s surface.

   Outstanding among them were the mysterious mists that rose regularly from the ground at the points where desert sands washed up against unyielding cliffs and mesas.

   Fog in a steaming desert seemed as out of place as a cactus on a glacier, but it existed, nonetheless. Meteorologists and geologists argued its origin among themselves, muttering hard-to-believe theories about water suspended in sandstone veins beneath the sand and incomprehensible chemical reactions that made the water rise when the ground cooled, then fall underground again with the double sunrise. It was all very backward and very real.

   Aquilae possessed no moons, yet the chilled night was illuminated by three large asteroids that orbited at such velocity they made the journey across the skies three times per night.

   Neither the mist nor the alien moans of nocturnal desert dwellers troubled General Skywalker as he sat on a woven blanket next to the dull sulfur light of a campfire.

   He took a long drag from the cigarillo gifted to him by that farmer’s wife. He languidly gazed up at the stars. If one could squint hard enough, one could almost make up other asteroids slowly tumbling in the night sky.

   He contemplated how the citizens of Aquilae must be suffering right now. The catastrophic death toll brought about by the bombing of the cities. His heart sank in grief over the death of King Bail and Queen Breha. How he loved them. In a galaxy overcome by greed, violence, and fear – they were a rare beacon of light. They were good people. A long-standing family respected and admired by the other Royal Houses of the galaxy. He sighed through his nostrils. How he let them down so badly. His only redemption for their death was to ensure the welfare of the princess. He glanced over at her bedding in the shadows of the tarp and – she was gone!

   He quickly stood and noticed the runt R2-D2 immobile at the edge of the blanket.

   “Robot, where’s the girl?” Skywalker snapped.

   The short robot pointed with his clawed hand, “She is over on that ridge. She has been standing there alone for quite some time.”

   Skywalker dashed out from under the tarp. He looked in the direction the robot had pointed and saw a lone figure silhouetted against one of the larger asteroids orbiting Aquilae. He ran over to her.

   He stopped a meter behind the young girl, he could hear her muted sobbing. Slowly, the general approached Leia and stood next to her.

   With horror, he saw what her attention was focused on. Under the pale light of the orbiting asteroid, a paved road stretched from horizon to horizon.

   First, his gaze came upon the possessions of refugees abandoned on the road. Boxes and bags. Everything melted and black. Old plastic suitcases curled shapeless in the heat. Here and there the imprint of things wrested out of the tar by scavengers. Then his view came upon the dead. Scores of them. Figures half mired in the blacktop, clutching their blackened torsos, mouths howling. The charred skin of the mummified figures stretched upon the bones and their faces split and shrunken on their skulls.

   As a backdrop to that deathly perdition, along the far horizon rose enormous pillars of black smoke into the clear and starry sky. The remnants of blasted cities and townships.

   Princess Leia Organa stood with tears streaming down her delicate face. She loved every one of her subjects and her heart broke seeing the damnation that was set upon them by the empire.

   “That vile and murderous Xerxes will pay his debt to House Organa – nay - to the noble peoples of Aquilae.” She said solemnly to the general without turning her gaze away from that scorched graveyard.

   For the rest of the evening, the princess stood and uttered a prayer for each corpse she saw in the silver light of the hurtling asteroids. General Luke Skywalker remained faithfully steadfast beside her, ever diligent.

The following morning, the old speeder roared across a dusty canyon bottom dotted with the bramble of leafless bushes.

   Gravel and fine sand formed a gritty fog beneath the vehicle as it slid across the rippling wasteland of Aquilae on humming repulsors. Occasionally the craft would jog slightly as it encountered a dip or slight rise, to return to its smooth passage as its pilot compensated for the change in terrain.

   In the front seat, Skywalker skillfully piloted the powerful craft around dunes and rocky outcrops as the princess sat in the passenger seat. In the back were the two robots. C-3PO was attempting to amuse the young girl and her ‘uncle’ with anecdotes of his various interplanetary adventures.

   “…and that was when,” the copper robot continued, “our freighter became snared in the gravity well of the black hole. I tell you; I thought all aboard were about to meet our maker when suddenly a ship arrived to our rescue. To my surprise, they were Jedi-Bendu! I thought they were a myth! But, there they were, offering our captain assistance.”

   “Jedi-Bendu?” Skywalker mockingly asked. “I was under the impression the previous emperor had them all executed after the Holy Rebellion of ‘06?”

   “Indeed.” R2-D2 interjected sarcastically, “He spins this tired story often. Never backing it up with any evidence. Everyone knows that the Order of the Bendu was eradicated by the Sith Knights decades ago by the then Emperor Cos Dashit Xerxes.”

   “I tell you,” C-3PO shot back, “The Jedi-Bendu are real!”

   “Talk about having crossed wires,” R2-D2 interjected.

   “Listen, you malfunctioning little twerp, if you don’t like my stories, it costs you nothing to sit there silent and…”

   “Quiet!” Skywalker ordered. “Looks like we have some trouble ahead.”

   The speeder shot out of the canyon onto a prairie of short, yellowed grass. Ten across and one thousand deep, a battalion of soldiers marched in precise formation along a dusty, unpaved road. This was the Imperial Occupational Army for Aquilae. Each soldier was outfitted in the fascist white armor of the Imperial stormtrooper.

   Stormtrooper armor was designed to instill a sense of order and security in loyal subjects and a sense of fear in the opponents of the Empire. The gear itself was an armored spacesuit that could be used in any battlefield whether it be planetside or in the vacuum of interstellar space providing the soldier with an extended range of survival equipment.

   Each stormtrooper carried a large gatling rifle in armored hands along with a heavy shield baring the Imperial crest. On their backs were fastened a small backpack holding provisions.

   At the front of the procession, four stormtroopers rode on the backs of griyadaa, a three-meter tall ostrich/lizard-like mount. Each of the four troopers held a long chrome lance with an imperial banner attached; crimson with a black sun.

   At intervals along the marching parade, lumbered five All-Terrain Tactical Battle Tanks. A low-built vehicle with six thick and squat articulated legs for propulsion, three on either side. Its body consisted of two armored halves connected by a flexible concertina section which increased the tank’s mobility on the field.

   Because its legs were low to the ground, the walker had a relatively low top speed, but it also benefited from greater stability. As its name suggested, the AT-TBT was suitable for traversing all types of planetary surfaces and was capable of surviving in the vacuum of real space as it was able to be pressurized.

   The battle tank’s most powerful weapon was a single mass-driver cannon located on the vehicle’s dorsal surface, which gave the walker the purpose as both a mobile artillery vehicle as well as a tank. The hexapod’s armor could easily deflect small arms fire and was well-shielded against electromagnetic pulse and ion weaponry.

   With gritted teeth, General Skywalker attempted to veer the speeder away from the marching army, but it was too late. The blaster cannon of the closest tank swung and locked onto them as a group of six stormtroopers rushed toward the speeder, waving them down.

   With the whine of jet engines, the general slowed the speeder to a stop. A stormtrooper arrogantly tapped the dusty plasteel glass window, Skywalker quickly lowered it.

   “Let me see some identification,” ordered the stormtrooper. His voice was made electronic by the small speaker at the center bottom of his helmet.

   “Is there a problem, officer?” Asked the general, he inflected into his voice the accented twang of the southern territories.

   “Your identification or we’ll arrest the lot of you!”

   “Okay. Okay, no need to get mean.”

   “Where are you going?”

   “We have a farm…we had a farm out beyond the Dune Sea. My sister oversees an evaporator field twenty kilometers southeast. We are going to stay there and wait for the glorious Empire to smooth all this out.”

   “Who’s the girl?”

   “My niece. Her mother was lost during the attack…the occupation.”

   “Those robots belong to you?”

   “Yes. They’re for sale if you’re interested?”

   “I don’t need a robot.”

   “Water. Do you have any water?” Leia asked. Her voice purposefully held that annoying whine spoiled children keep.

   “No. None to spare.”

   “Food? We could use some food, officer.” Skywalker said with a pleading smile.

   “You’ll have to forage on your own until you reach your destination. The supplies we have cannot be doled out to every dust breather who shoots their hand out.”

   “But, what are we to do?” Leia asked, her voice childishly annoying. “We’ll die before we reach my sister’s, you know. Tusken raiders themselves will most likely kill us before…”

   “Look, I don’t care.” The stormtrooper snapped with a wave of his gloved hand. “We should shoot you and put you out of your misery. But, I’m going to let you go with a warning. Stay clear of Imperial outposts and do not interfere in Imperial dealings. Got it?”

   “Got it.”

   “Good. Now go before I change my mind.”

   “Thank you, officer.” The general nodded as the princess pouted with crossed arms, ignoring the stormtrooper.

   The speeder jumped forward as Skywalker engaged the accelerator. The stormtrooper commander, along with his men, returned to the marching procession.

   Within the helmet of one of the commander’s soldiers, a static-infused voice came over his headphones, “This is Tactical Command in Gordon. Five Zero Zero Alpha. An all-points bulletin: Be on the watch for an elderly man traveling with a girl of sixteen years. These two outlaws are identified as General Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa. The general is to be executed on sight and the princess detained. She is to be confined to an Imperial fort nearest to her capture. This broadcast will be put on a two-second repeat…”

   Within the armor, his head turned slightly, “What? Sir! Sir! That speeder! It’s carrying the princess!”

   The stormtrooper commander stopped in his tracks, “Organa? Princess Leia Organa? Advise all stormtroopers along that longitude to search and abduct immediately!” He gazed off into the heat-shimmering direction the speeder traveled. “They won’t escape us this time.”

For an hour, the general raced the speeder over the arid landscape of the asteroid. Inside the cockpit, it was tensely quiet. The princess side-eyed the two robots in the backseat with suspicion and hatred.

   “If these two robots say anything if we run into another patrol…” She said to Skywalker.

   “I assure you, young lady, we have no intention of doing the like whatsoever,” C-3PO pleaded. “Our intentions are simply to get to Gordon and leave this asteroid. Without imperial entanglements.”

   She continued to stare at the general, “I say we just leave them out here. They’re Imperial robots! Simply having them in our presence is a bad idea.”

   C-3PO interjected, “No! Please! Take us with you! We will remain silent, we…”

   “We are deserters,” R2-D2 said.

   “Deserters?” Skywalker asked over his shoulder.

   “Yes.” R2-D2 continued, “We were maintenance robots on that battle station in orbit around this asteroid. The fighting became too intense, so me and this dummy jumped ship and crashed here. Then, you found us.”

   Leia turned and faced the copper robot. The look of disbelief on her young face. “You went against your programming?”

   “He’s telling the truth,” C-3PO said. “We became scared and ran. The empire is looking for us.”

   “I seriously doubt,” the princess said, “that the empire would dispatch an entire army to look for two service robots.”

   “Well, to be honest, we…” R2-D2 began.

   Suddenly, there was a large and fiery explosion to the side of the speeder. With skilled precision, the general guided the vehicle to an arcing halt next to a series of crumbling bluffs and dried weeds.

   “Get down!” He barked at the princess as out from her side window he saw ten stormtroopers run toward the speeder on the backs of galloping griyadaa. “Remain here!” He said as he opened his door.

   Instantly, the stormtroopers dismounted their steeds and, pointing their sinister gatling blaster rifles at the speeder, surrounded the outlaws. They began barking orders at the occupants.

   “Get out of the vehicle! Hands up!”

   “Surrender in the name of the emperor!”

   “Out of the speeder! Hands where we can see them!”

   “You are surrounded! There is nowhere to run!”

   “Comply! Comply!”

   With a gritted grimace, his cigarillo dangling, General Skywalker slowly rose from out of the driver’s side of the speeder with his hands up.

   He quickly scrutinized the stormtrooper’s positions, calculating, when instantly, he somersaulted through the air, over the hood of the speeder, his laser sword ignited by the time his feet hit the ground.

   From the hilt of the mechanism there emitted a blue laser beam that extended and stopped a meter in length from the mirrored disc. The device hummed with great power as Skywalker expertly sliced into the armor of three stormtroopers with one swing.

   Several of the armored soldiers began firing deadly energy bolts at the swirling and leaping Jedi-Bendu.

   With supersonic speed, Skywalker deflected the bolts with his laser sword, bouncing the blasts back at the stormtroopers, downing four instantly.

   Skywalker flipped into the air and, with the buzzing of his laser sword, decapitated a stormtrooper. He flung his sword behind him and it flew through the air, burying itself to the hilt into the armored chest of a soldier. With a graceful pirouette, the general retrieved his blade before the trooper had time to fall to his knees.

   The remaining stormtrooper stood, his rifle pointing at the general, “A Jedi-Bendu? You are a Jedi? Die, you traitorous scum!”

   As the stormtrooper fired, the general blocked the blast with the beam of his sword, ducked, spun, and sunk his blade deep into the helmet of the stormtrooper.

   The Jedi-Bendu Luke Skywalker stood triumphant over the scattered corpses of his fallen foes. He deactivated his laser sword and returned it to its hilt on his belt.

   The princess exited the speeder, smiling at the winded general, “That display was why my father admired you.”

   The general smirked and simply bowed at the hips, “I exist to serve.”

   “A Jedi-Bendu? We’ve been traveling with a Jedi-Ben…” C-3PO was saying as he opened the back door to the speeder and began stepping out.

   Skywalker shot a finger at the robot, “You stay in that speeder! Do not move! Do not say anything!”

   “Will do!” The robot said as he slid back into the rear seat and timidly shut the door closed.

   “You’re always causing problems,” R2-D2 said sarcastically to the copper robot before turning his head away.

   The general looked down at the admiring face of the princess, “We need to lay low for a while. The empire knows you are still alive and the stormtroopers will definitely be combing the wastes for us.”

   “I agree. I think I know the perfect place,” the princess said as she made her way toward the speeder.

   “Then, let’s waste no more time,” Skywalker said with a warm smile. “You lead the way.”

The Dark Knight of the Sith, Darth Vader, rode his dewback to the crest of a shrub-lined ridge.

   At four meters in length and two meters at the shoulder, the dewback was a rugged lizard native to the arid wastes of Aquilae. The reptile encompassed a thick hide of scaly green skin, with a long, rounded head and a short tail. Often a preferred mode of transport, the dewbacks were able to withstand the heat of the binary suns, as well as the dust that caused mechanical breakdowns in high-tech conveyances.

   The Dark Knight dismounted his steed and approached the remains of a smoldering campfire. He glanced about the sand and noticed the many footprints associated with the previous occupants. He also made out prints of at least two robots.

   The desert wind blew his black cloak as he meticulously scanned over the deserted encampment. The rasp of his breathing regulator was the only sound in this hot and desolate climate.

   He reached down and picked up the still-smoldering butt of a dark-brown cigarillo. He sniffed it, analyzing the aromas.

   A glint caught his eye, it was a small object half-buried in the dusty grit and sand. With a black-gloved hand, he retrieved the object. It was a hair ornament of high-polished and glittering silver. Something worn possibly by a young girl. He noticed on the back the engraving of a crescent with two stars. Without a doubt, it was hers!

   Darth Vader returned to his lizard mount and began his journey toward their only logical recourse, to escape the asteroid via the spaceport Gordon.

What would happen if Link would/have to go back to Hateno after the mob accident?

It’s the only place to get milk… or does Link go there but doesn’t talk to no one not even the kids and everyone there is wondering why Link is giving them the cold shoulder until some start to realize it’s because how they went from friendly towns folk who are understanding to no better then malice infected monsters with bloodlust to kill then listen to reason and feel guilty for it?

I’m asking this Because I’m surprised no one from hateno has tried to find Link or Link and co run into a person/travelling merchant from hateno

I’m curious if anyone in hateno feels guilty of burning down the lab and ‘killing’ Purah and her husband over monsters who legitimately had no killing intentions towards the town or anything.

For Link, the illusion of Hateno is ruined. What used to be a charming sleepy town has now been soiled by the townsfolk and their treatment of Kobb and Zayl. When he visits the town again he'll undoubtedly have severe hang-ups as all of the villagers give him their usually cheery grins - knowing how little it took to send them into an angry mob. This is where I'll likely show a subset of villagers that weren't part of that initial mob that burned down Purah's Lab. I can imagine the children that ran into Zayl feel some guilt over what happened - as well as other villagers that were pressured into it.

But that'll likely won't be for another few chapters so who knows what my outline will be then lol.

I haven't really touched much on the Hateno incident since it happened because Hateno is in a sense it's own little bubble from the rest of Hyrule. It's mostly self-sustained through its farms and livestock and merchants usually travel in and out. Granted, many have likely heard the rumors of the Sheikah at the top of the hill hiding monsters in her lab. But some would probably brush it off at just rumor mill spins.

Also the reason Link and co haven't run into many other Hylians is because they've been purposely avoiding them on the road. Taking routes less traveled/more dangerous than risking going near the stables. Granted Link and Kobb now have to risk going near the Tabantha Stable to get to Rito Village, but that's a necessity to avoid having to take the long way around.

Sorry for the wall of text but long story short Hateno's likely having their own hidden schisms over the incident and it's an inevitability that Link and co will have to find some way of "winning" back Hateno. It would be quite problematic if, after they beat Calamity Ganon, the largest settlement in Hyrule would still have all the problems that caused the lab to get attacked.

Concrete pavement road structures?

Concrete pavements, also known as rigid pavements, have a structured design to ensure they can bear heavy traffic loads and provide a durable surface. Here's an overview of the typical structure of a concrete pavement:

1. Subgrade: This is the natural soil prepared and compacted to provide a stable foundation for the pavement. Proper compaction and stabilization are essential to prevent settlement and maintain the pavement's integrity.

2. Sub-base: A layer of granular material, such as gravel or crushed stone, placed above the subgrade. The sub-base layer provides additional support, improves drainage, and helps distribute loads more evenly to prevent stress concentration on the subgrade.

3. Base Course: An optional layer of high-quality granular or stabilized material (e.g., cement or lime-stabilized) that offers additional structural support and further load distribution. This layer is particularly useful in areas with poor subgrade conditions.

4. Separation Layer (optional): In some designs, a separation layer or membrane, such as a geotextile fabric, is placed between the base/sub-base and the concrete slab to prevent moisture movement and enhance load distribution.

5. Concrete Slab: The main structural component of the pavement, made of Portland cement concrete. The slab is designed to bear traffic loads and provide a durable, smooth surface. The thickness of the concrete slab depends on the expected traffic load and environmental conditions. Reinforcement (e.g., steel bars or mesh) may be included to enhance strength and control cracking.

6. Joints: Concrete pavements include various types of joints to control cracking and accommodate expansion and contraction:

- Transverse Joints: Placed at regular intervals to control cracking caused by temperature changes and shrinkage.

- Longitudinal Joints: Used to control cracking along the length of the pavement.

- Expansion Joints: Allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.

- Dowel Bars: Installed across transverse joints to transfer loads between slabs and maintain alignment.

- Tie Bars: Used in longitudinal joints to hold adjoining slabs together and prevent separation.

7. Surface Treatment (optional): A surface treatment or texture, such as a broom finish or grooving, is sometimes applied to the concrete slab to improve skid resistance and reduce surface wear.

### Summary of Concrete Pavement Structure

1. Subgrade

2. Sub-base

3. Base Course (optional)

4. Separation Layer (optional)

5. Concrete Slab

6. Joints (Transverse, Longitudinal, Expansion, Dowel Bars, Tie Bars)

7. Surface Treatment (optional)

Each layer in a concrete pavement serves a specific function to ensure the pavement can handle traffic loads, provide a smooth driving surface, and maintain durability over time. Proper design, material selection, and construction practices are essential for the longevity and performance of a concrete pavement

Common Concrete Problems and Solutions

Concrete is a common element in Surrey’s built environment, as it is used to construct houses, commercial buildings, and infrastructure. Despite being one of the most durable and robust construction materials, concrete is not immune to damage. Surrey’s climate and geology are somewhat unfavourable for concrete constructions due to wet winters and variable soil.

Common Concrete Cracking Issues

Among the most common problems which may affect concrete construction in Surrey, one can name the cracks. These cracks can be plain shrinkage, with some being hairline to wider splits. In contrast, others can be considerable breaches in the structure. A shift during the curing time, changes in temperature, and overloading. Another factor regarding this is that Surrey’s weather is wet and fluctuates in temperature, which may magnify such a situation.

Treatment Options for Concrete Cracks

The treatment for concrete cracks depends on the degree extended and the type of cracking. With small, early-stage cracks that will not compromise the structure, epoxy injection is also a good solution. This includes applying low-viscosity epoxy, which seals the crack and seals the concrete. More severe cases require more serious treatment involving larger separations or ones with serious consequences for the integrity of the fabric of the building. These measures include routing and sealing the crack, ripping the concrete, and replacing concrete sections.

Concrete Settlement Problems in Surrey

Another potential problem that concrete structures in Surrey could experience is setting. Some of the challenges in construction include the region having a variety of soil types, including clay and sand, which may result in the problem of differential settlement where some parts of the building sink more than others. This makes concrete slabs crack, tilt, or even appear to have shifted from their original position relative to structures close to them. However, the high-water table and the frequent rain in Surrey create problems regarding soil erosion and more settling down.

Addressing Concrete Settlement Issues

There are several approaches to addressing issues concerning concrete settlement, primarily hinged on the degree of the situation and the root of the problem. Minor settlements can be quickly addressed by mud-jacking, also called slab-jacking. This process requires injecting a grout mixture beneath the settled slab to lift it to its previous position. This entails the provision of a broader base that would be planted on rocks.

Surface Decay in Concrete Structures

Another problem often observed is surface decay; this is more experienced on sections that receive so much traffic or bad weather. This is manifested as the scaling of mortar, where the outer, exposed mortar wears away to reveal the aggregate underneath. This can be enhanced by Surrey’s wet climate, particularly in regions with the likelihood of water accumulation or where poor drainage exposes the concrete to water on the surface.

Resurfacing as a Restoration Technique

Resurfacing is one of the most common restoration processes. It mainly entails washing the area and applying a surface coating. A thin layer is applied to the affected area to treat minor damages and suffice the covering. A denser layer or total resurfacing of the affected part might be required for more severe conditions. This is the most critical aspect of any resurfacing job, as it guarantees a good bond and durability of the repair work.

Preventative Measures for Concrete Issues

A significant part of avoiding concrete problems in Surrey is dedicated to the existence of preventative measures. Such steps should be followed, including proper and correct dimensioning and construction practices, drainage practices, concrete mixes, and expansion and contraction practices.

Professional Concrete Repair Services in Surrey

To those living and operating companies in Surrey struggling with concrete issues, prompt action allows one to avoid developing a minor problem into a large structural matter. To address specific concerns with concrete repair in Surrey, King Services has expert concrete repair services.
