| Date of Completion: | July 30, 2042 |
| Telecom Grid Access: | (ORB/NTS) System Rating: Red-12 |
| Population: | 26 |
| Location: | geosynchronous orbit over Tenochtìtlan |
| Type: | Wheel (4 concentric) |
| Access: | via Aztechnology shuttles |
| Details: | When other megacorporations began to establish their roles as orbital powers, Aztechnology fervidly entered the race, though doing so in response rather than with initiative. New Tenochtìtlan Station, which comprises of four linked, concentric circles and a central, spherical compartment, is little more than a boastful toy to Aztechnology. It functions primarily as a research center and orbital factory, though its full capabilities are kept a closely guarded secret. |

>>>>>[Wait
just a second there, it says this station is in geosynchronous orbit,
but Tenochtitlan is nowhere near the equator. How can this be?]<<<<< >>>>>[Well,
there are a couple of ways this could be accomplished. First of all, NTS
might be in geosynchronous orbit, but hanging in the southern skies of
Tenochtìtlan itself. Hence, the comment isn't wrong, it's just
misleading. Second, it could actually be directly over the city, but the
Azzies are spending outrageous amounts of ¥ every year to keep it
over the city. But this is given that things are operating under standard
procedure. It's very possible that the Azzies found another way of keeping
their orbital over the city.]<<<<< >>>>>[Are
you suggesting that the Azzies have found a way of breaking the laws of
astrophysics?]<<<<< >>>>>[Not
necessarily. Science is the same as it ever was. Just because something
hasn't been discovered yet doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. If I'm
suggesting anything, I'm suggesting that the Azzies have unlocked another
one of Nature's doors and found a cost effective way of placing their
orbital over the city.]<<<<< >>>>>[But
what's the answer to the question?]<<<<< >>>>>[Another
one of those closely guarded Azzie secrets, pal. If anyone knows the answer
they're either dead or hiding (and planning to blow it up). Would you
care to ask them?]<<<<< |
