Anders wants to learn about the sewer system for use in traveling and sneaking around and whatnot. Hopefully 34th-century plumbing has taken care of horrible clogging problems with oil-eating microorganisms or something? Or this will be a terrible, terrible excursion.
He isn't really aware of the concept of subways yet, but he'll certainly become interested in that as well - anything underground. Stuff like this.
He needs either to acquire a map if that would be feasible, or to start exploring in order to make a map. While plenty of London maps exist online such that we don't need to make one ourselves -- I like this one -- I'm posting here to ask how, under this dystopian and secretive government, he could succeed in getting a sewer map, or whether he's on his own here. Ditto for subway maps, I guess!
Using the highly scientific method of googling "how to get sewer map", I've gotten answers like:
and an eHow about getting sewer maps which for some reason I find hilarious, amounting to "call your county public works office directly and request hard copies of the sewer map, or ask for access to come in to view the document."
Would the Initiative have an office of public works? a ministry of sanitation? a something-or-other? If so, what would it be called, and would they be inclined to allow access to their maps by 1) a transport (Anders) 2) a native NPC (if Anders can befriend one) 3) only their own workers (unlikely that Anders will meet one who's willing to share this info with him, but I'm guessing that other characters will pose this question if he goes onto the network and says HEY I WANT TO MAKE A SEWER MAP) 4) are you kidding, even the workers only get to see small sections. The underground is vulnerable to terrorism and stuff, why would we give anyone a map to that 5) oh lord Gazebo your rambling makes no sense, go back to drawing up plans for that cat toilet fountain Ser Pounce-a-lot needs 6) ... toilets and now sewers? is there something you're not telling us 7) stop posting at work for the love of god please okay I'm stopping now okay
