Re: Tropic of Sir Galahad
"As just a mental exercise, in case I was ever put in charge of such a project," Del Vinian responds to Darrel's parting comment, "I considered the logistics of using an underwater dome as a means of secrecy and security, both internal and external. I thought there were quite a lot of positives."
"Yes, there would be some negatives... claustrophobia, cabin fever, accessability. To maintain safety, security and secrecy, access would have to be via a submersible. And it couldn't be very deep, so I thought maybe running it like the military... shore leave every so often. It'd give the workers an immediate goal... you know, a week of work gets them a day of shore leave."
"The submersible would dock in someone boathouse. That way, it'd never be seen above water. The purchase of the boathouse, the dome and the submersible would be through third parties, with no corporate connections. I mean, like Saul in accounting would get his aunt to purchase something, perhaps not even knowing she did it. Bill's cousin would do another purchase. That sort of thing. That way, there's no direct connection to the company, so no real electronic or paper trail."
"Anyway, this was all speculation. It's the way I decided I'd have done it. As with all such plans, though, it doesn't always turn out that way in reality. It was sort of like what you'd do with the money if you won the lottery. Never won a lottery, either."
