Alfegos Ministry of Statistics
Department of Preservation

For the saving of all information, Alfegos uses computers: a set of 240 servers buried 200 metres underground in an EMP-shielded environment in which the air (at low pressure and low temperature) contains no oxygen or water: it is a pure nitrogen atmosphere. These systems are powered by an underground geothermic energy source with a 10 year backup battery. The entire complex is surrounded from all sides by 50 metres of re-enforced concrete, and can only be accessed by one person (the Librarian) via a small shaft. Information can only be viewed, edited, added to or taken away while inside the vault, so viruses can not enter the system.

The entire vault is also kept in hard format on holo-discs, which can each store 800GB. The discs are updated every 2 months.
The entire system has a capacity of 12 000 terabytes (2000 terabytes is currently in use), which is used to store every peice of information in the world.

A copy of this information is availabe (in a much limited size) on www.vault.gov.af Here, new articles can be suggested, written and edited (much in the same way as wikipedia) and any information that is not found when the system is searched (a process that takes only minutes due to the special connection of ultra-high speed fibre optics across the entire system) is added, with the article's greatest contributor receiving "points". 200 points wins the writer Æ50.

We are willing to give you, in holo-disc form (obviuosly in very large amounts), the entirity of the information in the vault (save that marked as "classified", such as the files on UFOs.)
