Underground newsroom writer's den with a typewriter, paper stacks and pinned clippings

Pond Dispatches

Deepest room in the facility and the quietest, apart from the typewriter. Paper stacks, pinned clippings and one desk lamp doing the work of four. Everything written about Pond HQ starts here.

Door sign reads: POND DISPATCHES — FILING, DO NOT HOOVER

What gets filed here

On the spike

Everything written about Pond HQ starts on this desk — the pond log, the longer game notes and the odd things pulled out of the water. A dispatch is a headline, a date and the piece itself, filed properly before it goes up anywhere else. Nothing sits here half-finished; when a piece is ready, it is ready.

The spike by the lamp holds whatever is currently being written. Check back after a broadcast or a crew shift — that is usually when something new gets filed.

Tip the desk off

Paper tray

Spotted something, remembered something, want a topic written up? Leave it in the tray and the typewriter will deal with it.
