I swear to God it's refrigerated storage!

I probably wouldn't normally post this design here, as it's really just a background element of a setting, the stats for which you will only need if you're penciling a war crime into your scenario.

But then I saw the record sheet MML produced and I was... like... Okay, technically I know it's a nickname for refrigerated storage, but do you want to throw this down on the table and then have to explain to your group why it's loaded up with a hundred thousand tons of Reefer?

(Record sheet attached, so you can bask in the Reefer madness)
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

As an aside, is this a city for 100,000 quartered people?  Thats super cool.  Its 200 people per ton for supplies as I recall, so you have 3 years of food and water it seems as a reserve? 

How do you envision the life pods, is there an expectation of 100k people getting rescued in 30 days but not 10?  Im not against them, just wondering the utility for my own setting.  Like the escape pod has a engine to maneuver around, and I always thought of it like a SUV, comfortable for 4 but able to squeeze 6 in, and you can use them to putter around to make transfers or trips down to a planet in addition to the small craft.

Escape Pods aren't really designed to take off again.  You COULD design a 5-ton "ASF" with half a ton of cargo to be that, though.  It would cost around 500K C-Bills (cockpits are expensive!).
