The Infrastructure and Logistics branch of Minerva Transformation Force. We make stuff happen. It isn't a glamorous job but it's honest work.

barring good reasons otherwise, but can go as high as 600 kmh for rail so if we need to, an injured sophont can be moved faster via rail than by helicopter.

life support kit in a coach easily enough. Stations have coaches on hand so if we need them, we can stabilize them in the coach and then attach to the next train to stop in the station or just (because it's an EMU like everything else) drive it where needed.) Standard design speed is 300kmh min

needs to be transported fast and a helicopter isn't an option or isn't fast enough, they have to be transferred by train. So we have provisions for it. It's not that we don't build roads, it's that we build rail faster than we can build roads that don't export American suburb and you can put good

and connections to stuff like hospitals, libraries, schools, other social services (MTF civilian accessible stations near a hospital let you get from the station to the hospital without going outside. There's a intake annex too. Since MTF is building in areas without good roads, if someone

No cultural imposition but safety culture. The local community though? They get to control the aesthetics. We build the station ASAP once we understand the community's needs to get them connectivity while working with the community to develop how it'll look and add additional surface connectors.

two) the standard accessibility (no more than 3mm gap between platform and the train, 1 mm vertical tolerance, platforms are kept within thermal parameters, accessibility for people with impaired visual and auditory senses, 100% wheelchair accessability, etc), and that it'll be safe to use.

having safety features (platform doors, positive train control, continuous inspection, etc), the correct loading gauge (at least 2 tracks are setup per line so they can be used to move double wide equipment, it means that we can get a new transformer delivered to anywhere on the planet in a day or

agency. Infrastructure is signed in the languages used by people that use the infra. Designs take local community input to ensure that it meets local needs on top of universal care requirements. The way I put it as the head of infrastructure: We know how to build rail lines. We care about the line

done in such a way to ensure that the indigenous culture to an area isn't snuffed out. Art in stations is done by local artists. MTF is *specifically* anti imperialist so, as I understand it and minerva agrees, MTF does not seek to stamp out a culture. The most MTF seeks to do is ensure individual

The goal of MILF building infra in the global south is to do 3rd party reparations for the centuries of pillaging by colonial powers (meaning that MTF wasn't directly the one that did it, but MTF sees it as their duty to make things right.) Architecture of all infra is done with local input and is

just because it makes rail routes less confusing and it lets us have twice the north/south route numbers for eurasia. In application, east/west links get signed with x=3 to help avoid any fear of the number 4. I'm hand laying out the lines at the between city level areas starting with the sahel.

For Eurasia, east/west routes are concurrently numbered. So 4yyyzzz and 3yyyzzz are the same for even numbers. yyy=spur or loop number. Even=loop/bypass odd=spur Africa is first because that's where humanity started and the goal is to decolonize the global south. Oceania and asia are swapped

We are currently laying out MTF's global rail network. 7 digit numbering system for the major routes. xyyyzzz x= continent 1=africa 2=oceania 3=asia 4=Europe 5=North America 6=South America 7=Antarctica 8=sea links 9=reserved. zzz Route number, going from east to west and south to north.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved. Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning. ig.ft.com/mega-batteri...

@korpspropaganda.bsky.social One of our crews accidentally created a time portal to 323BC Babylon. That's not the important part, one of the agents decided to give Alexander the Great a Baja blast and about $30 of taco bell. Sorry about that.

sewer lines, data, and start taking care of people in under an hour. We are what happens if waffle house decided to take over the world. Normally, we will work out a truce with local governments so that they don't harass us for running 1200 ton road trains or the whole being supervillains.

the local grid, the tractor in generator mode, or an on site generator plant (Hydrocarbon fuel cell, solar, nuclear, or isomer battery depending on when and where), hook up water lines, hydronic lines (if we are running a thermal plant to generator power, we use the waste heat),

to get the train around curves. When one of these trains gets to a location, you uncouple it and walk it to where it'll set up using the yard control pad to move it using the hotel power and the distributed traction motors. Get it situated, put down the levelers, pop out any pullouts, plug it into

it is still incomplete. That's why we have road trains. We use an axle weight limit of about 5-6.5 tons per axle in the US so that we don't need to worry about marginal roads caving in. These are not aussie road trains, we have distributed traction throughout the train and there is active steering

For example, if there's a disaster, we will go as far as to use 10, 20, 30 trailer road trains to bring in entire cities worth of buildings on short notice if we can't just open up a nearby base to the public to house/feed/care for them. MTF does have a world spanning rail network in development but
