Strongholds: The Ultimate Safe House
The actual name of this place is Field House, since it resides in a 10 acre field not far outside a major city. The people who live nearby know it as “the old Higgins place”, since it was first built by a farmer named Higgins back in 1904. As far as the neighbors know, it now belongs to a nice couple named Jones who work in the city and mostly keep to themselves.
The house itself is fully armored, including bulletproof glass and baffles in all the vents and the chimney that will actually toss grenades and such back outside. There are 60 cameras on the exterior of the house that are manned 24/7 by a team of 6 agents. Another 4 agents man the various weaponry built into the exterior of the house. These weapons include machine guns, gas vents, lasers, smoke dispensers and guns that fire taser darts.
The grounds have another 40 cameras and an array of weaponry. There are also thorned vines that contain natural toxins, remote controlled pit traps, tubes from which angry hornets can be released and a few of the trees are actually robotic in nature and can grab a person and then shock him unconscious.
Needless to say, the perimeter fence can be electrified.
In the highly unlikely event of a siege, there is a tunnel that comes out 2 miles away in the barn of a rundown old farm. An armored and tricked out 1970 Corvette or 1964 Mustang are available for quick exits.
Inside the house are comfy bedrooms, a great kitchen and pantry, closets full of clothes and disguises, three bathrooms, a large living room, a library, an armory, a complete secure communications center and a fully stocked bar. The three level garage contains a dozen varied cars & motorcycles. Another underground area houses the 24 agents who work here.
