Edit coming later with details.

Bump for use by Alfegos.

Concerning the telephone bug, you will need to be very sneaky about accessing the machinery. The operations personnel will likely be spending quite a bit of time explaining how the systems work, so your operatives will have to wait a while until they can access the cables.

Senator Lewis' secret computer and communications center is not connected to the municipial telephone or computer network, but rather by an "illegal" cable and transmission system to several other secret places. I wil, deal with that later.

A "deletion feedback system" works like this:

1. The data is deleted.
2. Someone attempts to reconstruct the data.
3. When that person tries to locate the deletion codes and deactivate them, or restore the data, every unsuccessful attempt results in a data corruption program, which further corrupts the data and messes with it even more.
4. After the data had been chewed up so many times, little or none will be left.

I will RP the trial soon. Bear in mind that there will be surprise twists in the trial.

Finally, I will need to RP the conversation between Senator Bates and his attorney.

Gotcha there - I see that you're going to try up the pressure on my people a bit! Thus, it seems that I might need to arrange a meeting, or turn up the gas a bit more...which is unlikely.

Thanks though. Writing a new post.

As of February 11, 2009, this thread is now the official OOC Thread for Internal Tensions.

Technical details about the tunnel system:

The tunnel system is composed of a number of tunnels that are about three or four meters tall and wide, and stretch for several miles around the downtown area od the city. Most of the tunnels carry a large amount of communications lines and cables, often for the purposes of having a secure connection. Government lines run through some of these tunnels, although they are well protected and are often inspected by patrolling maintainence workers that are employed by a government-owned utility company. The walls are mostly reinforced concrete and masonry, and the ceilings are arched, so they can support the enormous weight of the dirt and rocks above. Some sections even travel through solid rock.

Access to the tunnels is by elevators and cargo lifts that are located in utility stations around the area. The primary purpose of these tunnels was to protect and conceal communications lines in order to create secure communication centers. Senator Lewis added a tunnel from his hidden "bunker" or "command center" to the main unnel, and then had his cronies add a cable to the others. He later added two backup cables, which were concealed along different parts of the tunnel. They connect to a communications hub, which contains dozens of large cases which look like electrical boxes.

The hidden lines were added about ten years ago, shortly after Lewis built the hidden rooms under his basement. The main tunnel has a door set into the side that leads to the tunnel that was excavated by Lewis' agents. It runs perpendicular to the main tunnel, which runs under a road which runs parallel to the street where Lewis' house is located. (Lewis lives on street "A" and the tunnel runs under street "B", which is parallel to street "A".) The two streets (which actually have names, "A" and "B" are only arbitrary designations) are about 200 feet apart.

The tunnel which Lewis adfded is separated from the main tunnel by a three inch thick steel door, which has locking bolts (like the door of a gun safe). The other doors in the main tunnels are also like this, to prevent security breaches by unauthorized personnel, so it seems to visually fit in. Behind this door, the cables are mounted on a wall rack and brackets, which carry them to the end of the tunnel. There are three doors there, on the end and on either side. A fake directory map on the wall shows another tunnel leading from the one which Senator Lewis added which appears to be another main tunnel. The map also says that on either side there are termination points, but the doors, which are also quite strong, lead to empty rooms, which were added to decieve anyone who went down to investigate. The door on the end really leads to a small room with another door, which leads to a staircase, which goes up about thirty feet or so to Lewis' command center.

Not all of the cables leading from Lewis' hidden office are real. Most of them are fake, planted there to fool the unwary. Only three (out of about ten or so) are actual communications lines.
