So Prime Base gets completed in the early 1980s and basically get's sealed up. There is some coming and going. Equipment gets updated. But the war doesn't happen in 1989. Things are honky dory until all Hell breaks loose in the 2020s (I think)

So this leads to a huge number of questions
Was everyone in Prime Base legally dead? We they set to be rotated in and out after a period of years, They serve a couple of years and then get rotated to a field team and frozen at a base or bolt hole? Is command staff rotated OUT of field teams and into Prime?

If they aren't rotated do they and their children and their grand children just live in prime Base for 40 years or so?

A lot of systems are going to need to be upgraded in the decades Prime is sitting ready for the War. The computer systems alone should undergo a number of migrations as technology improve. The library will migrate from paper books to electronic ones. Medical equipment will be hugely improved. Everything coming into the base will need to fit through some entrance and will need to do so in a way that is unobtrusive. Also all the junk will need to go someplace.

How will this get done?
