Places for caches

[ChalkLine]

Caches are an integral part of MP. Each cache should be as unique as possible because nothing says 'uninspired' as a concrete box in a field. However, it is difficult to come up with interesting on the fly so lets put a few ideas out here.

You should work out how exposed and how tampered with the cache is. For example a very exposed site might be under the statue of a new town. Tampered sites might not be breached but rather attempted breaches a few times. They might be booby trapped or set to send a signal when approached.

Okay, here's a few;

1: In the embankment under a bridge. The door is a steel plate.
- The bridge may have collapsed
- The door may have rusted shut or have serious amounts of debris against it
- There may be a trip flare attached to the debris or similar

2: A fake stormwater tunnel. There is a door at the end of the tunnel
- Something lives in the tunnel. Something big.
- Corpses are strewn about the tunnel. One of the corpses has a Morrow Project ID. There is no clue to what killed them.

3: In a field. The classic 'fridge in a field'
- A 150 year old dead and stripped M1A2 tank sits on top of the cache and the treads/road wheels have sunk into the ground. Several other military wrecks are in the area.

4: 15m South East from a 'founder' statue
- The new people have adopted the statue as the founder of their little town. It sits in the middle of their armed canton

5: In a dead mall in fairly good shape
- The bottom two floors are flooded
- Animals and things have been attracted by the water. The labyrinthine mall allows them to stalk each other.
- The information for the cache is annoyingly vague. The lower levels of the five story mall is pitch black. The actual cache is attached to a store room and the surrounding area is half flooded. Opening the cache will allow the water in.

A drive-in movie theater

The cache is built into the foundations of one of the screens

Problem:
A community makes use of this place . Their "emergency services" make use of the theater's radio transmitter and some salvaged car radio receivers.

In my Morrow world, Morrow established orphanages, and small technical schools. Ideal recruitment/indoctrination places, and of course easy for Morrow Construction (or its shell companies) to add in a few secret cache chambers during construction.

Purpose-built 2-bay oil change/minor car repair/gas station with attached convenience store. Access to cache through one of the sunken areas used for oil changes. A parent company could have built numerous buildings like this outside many small towns across a state, region, or the country.

Problem 1 is that the building was overbuilt, so has been repurposed as a shelter by an armed group. A well-armed group if they have found the cache.

Problem 2 is that an organized group has made the connection between this company and caches/boltholes beneath them and is on a slow campaign of systematically looting them.

Cheers!

Also consider a small Self Storage facility, these can cover up to a city block in size with lots of areas not visible to the general public, has both indoor and outdoor units, a surprisingly large number of commercial owners rent units to store "excess" merchandise, traffic by strangers in everything from the family compact to 18-wheelers, and can be found in some of the most surprising locations.
