This is my entry for the PMC Contest: Head into the Clouds
Project Sanctuary was humanity's many efforts to survive the aftermath of the rift. When rifts first started to appear in the world, like in the Nether, it caused similar electrical disturbances. Initially it began as low level electromagnetic interference, primarily affecting electronics. But as the months went on, the effects became stronger. Powerful electric fields around the rifts would pulse, causing iron deposits in the earth to be thrown into the atmosphere. Project Sanctuary was proposed as a fortified habitat that could be insulated from the effects of the electromagnetic pulses, and protect its inhabitants. The only problem was with a world beginning to shatter, there was a limited amount of space that these Sanctuaries could hold. Every major city built as many as they could. Lotteries were held to choose who could stay. When the rift let out a final burst of energy, it destroyed 95% of the existing landmass, causing mass flooding on the remaining 5%. Some of the landmass thrown into the sky held together enough, and some of the Sanctuary towers survived.
A Sanctuary tower had every necessity that a small settlement could need, with a maximum capacity of about 3000 people. Once things seemed to settle, they began to disassemble the roof, and begin building the agriculture tower. This ensured the Sanctuary would always have food and building supplies. All rooms are furnished with basic necessities.
Currently, what is completed is the Sanctuary tower, three partially destroyed bridges, twelve buildings of what remains of the city, and two highways. This is going to be the final major update for the contest. Until the contest ends (on the 30th), i will be searching my entry for mistakes. If you find something that isn't working, let me know, and i will tend to it immediately.
