STATISTICS
IN
THE COMBAT ZONE (Each category is rated from 0 to 5, 0
indicating a complete lack of service, and 5
indicating highest quality service) EMERGENCY
SERVICES
POLICE
RESPONSE TIME: 0 There
is no police presence in the Zone, and police will
not come here except under the most dire
circumstance, and even then only in groups of ten or
more, in at least full issue armor. Generally the
only time when Police will enter the Combat Zone
is due to confirmed terrorist activity, rescue
operations (but only in extreme cases) or when
an extremely high profile suspect’s exact location
in the Zone is known and verified, and then SWAT or
C-SWAT will enter in force. Police man the
gate entrances to the Zone, but will not enter. POLICE
CAMERA PREVALENCE: 0 The only place where static Police cameras are
positioned is atop the wall and at checkpoints. The cameras are
housed in armored plexiglass domes; however it is
something of a hobby among many Zone Dwellers to
obscure the lenses on the Zone side of the dome. Peppering them
with paintballs is the most common method, and they
just get creative from there. Occasionally the
police will send drones into the Zone if something
serious is happening, but if they are spotted they
are shot down in fairly short order. FIRE AND
RESCUE RESPONSE TIME: 0 Like the police, the Fire department almost
never enters the Zone.
There are no recognized or legal hospitals or
clinics in the Zone, but there are numerous
ripperdocs and underground clinics operating here. No ambulance
services will enter the Zone except for Trauma Team
or Militech, however some Combat Cabbs have medics
riding along with them, and if the fare has the
money they will treat him and take him to the
destination of his choice.
EDUCATION:
1 There is only one school that operates in the
Zone. It is
run by a group that calls itself the Elders and a
host of volunteers. The
school is not licensed, nor its curriculum
recognized by anyone, but students who do choose to
attend will receive a basic education equivalent to
grades 1-12, with additional advanced and vocational
education available.
There are several eateries in the zone, most
rely either on what food can be brought in from the
outside, or they use Zone grown food. Because of the
high number of rooftop gardens many Zone residents
eat more fresh vegetables and fruits than the
majority of people in Night City proper. Proper meat on
the other hand is much scarcer. Beef and Pork
are unheard of, although occasionally pigs are found
here. The
majority of meat found in the Zone is Rabbit, which
are bred and raised by many in the Zone, including a
few places that do it on a mass production scale. Dog, Cat, and
Rat are also common meats here. Some people in
the Zone also have their own scop tanks. There is a
brewery and distillery here, as well as several
private brewers and moonshiners.
This is the Zone; there are few legal avenues
of entertainment although there are several bars, a
fairly successful nightclub, and even an “art house”
style movie theater.
There are hotels and boarding houses scattered
throughout the Zone, but nothing that any travel
guide would ever recommend. The prices are
dirt cheap though, usually running from 5eb an hour,
to 15-25eb a night.
