The traveller!

from the movie "Outland"
Welcome to Space Station 1451
This station is owned by the freighter corporation "Lane Express", operation permission number: 53424/23R.

You have been in stasis for two years and 23 days; it is the 22nd of May, 2145.
This station is the outmost space station of the federal administrated space.
The only further outpost is the mining facility, on the orbited surface.


The station is run by federal law, and the federal colonial police, administration and representative.
The law, sets highest priority to living quality, security, and social development, especially for creating a bottom up space colonial, federal organisation structure, and prevent disparities and differences, between colonial, thus peripheral and central differences and discriminations.


Thus, on your stay for the next 10 years, you will have political and social obligations to participate freely and creatively in, to develop a responsive social and political structure, that no alienation between core and periphery may occur too drastically. To prevent differences which are not bare able by the local people.
The goal is a federal system, which recognizes the differences between space and surface, and colonial and well established habitats, but supports cooperation, by building on the differences, rather then not knowing or even ignoring the differences, and also not putting ideas, by other federal units or the federation itself, over different situations, living conditions, and ideas in either federal unit.

Discrimination (like racisms, or ideological), un-social, and unproductive tendencies have to be countered, but not suppressed; but lowered, by decreasing the differences and differentiating dis-knowledge of "the other", and supporting a social and political dialog, and free creative participation.


Your cabin will open in 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and pressure synchronisation will be completed.
Your body also has been readied, before you woke. If you should experience any problems, with your conscious or any mobility limitations, please press the red button at the door. Otherwise, please visit the medical bay immediately.
The medical bay is located on level 2, section 5, door 1.
Any medical assistance is covered by the basic federal public health care system.

Any administrational worries are to be solved on level 1, section 12, door 1, the administration module.

Your assigned quarters are on level 4, section 23, door 11.
Any services and shops are to be found on level 3.
Level 0 is the communication and transportation level, which includes the docking area, as well the cargo & postal area.
From level 5 to 8 is the stations maintenance and infrastructural area.


If there are any questions, feel free to visit the administration module.
Welcome to Station 1451.
