[Foreboding orchestral music]
[Gustav Holst: Mars, the Bringer of War]

[Music]
[Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance (Land of Hope and Glory)]

00:32.000 --> 00:35.000
This is New Albion on Mars

00:36.000 --> 00:38.000
Everything is underground at New Albion!

00:39.000 --> 00:45.000
For colonists, "underground" usually
refers to what's below their feet.

00:46.000 --> 00:53.000
The ground level of Compartments is in fact
a deck over vital services running below.

00:54.000 --> 01:03.000
Electricity and data cables, water, sewerage
and air-conditioning ducts run below the deck.

01:04.000 --> 01:07.000
Electricity and data cables are

01:07.000 --> 01:13.000
gas-tight, the others need their own
seals for depressurisation emergencies.

01:14.000 --> 01:19.000
In minor emergencies the main ducts
can operate in a pass-through mode

01:19.000 --> 01:22.500
with just local services sealed off.

01:23.000 --> 01:29.000
In more severe emergencies a Compartment's
ducts can be completely sealed off.

01:30.000 --> 01:36.000
This causes adjacent Compartments to
become effectively parts of separate Ways,

01:36.000 --> 01:42.000
with services being pumped back and
forth rather than flowing through.

01:43.000 --> 01:47.000
Some commercial utility equipment
is located below-deck -

01:47.000 --> 01:51.000
laundry is commonly sited
next to mains services.

01:52.000 --> 01:55.000
There are also storage lockers

01:55.000 --> 02:01.000
which some colonists call 'garages' or
'sheds' and decorate accordingly.

02:02.000 --> 02:10.000
'Going underground' at New Albion isn't
that different to being on top!

02:11.000 --> 02:28.000
[Dissonant clashing orchestral music]
[Gustav Holst: Mars, the Bringer of War]

02:28.000 --> 02:57.000
