Headquarters

It's a bit of a maze, unless you hadn't noticed. ~Jay Thorntree

Headquarters, or PPC HQ, is the base of operations for the Protectors of the Plot Continuum. Most of the Departments are based there, and all Agents have their Response Centres in HQ. The complex has been invaded on numerous occasions.

Navigation
Navigation around HQ is tricky, even for experienced Agents. Places, such as Response Centres, have no fixed location in the usual sense. A map of HQ exists; however, it is a complicated electronic device designed to work in six dimensions (in which, it is claimed, the layout of HQ is perfectly simple), and is limited to a few copies, jealously guarded by the Flowers. Most Agents do not know of its existence.

Rooms are not numbered in a logical manner either, meaning that you can find RC#198 between RC#45b and RC#Alpha-Six-Nine-Five, for example. Adding to the confusion is the interior decoration of HQ; Generic Grey Wall with Generic Grey Floor with the occasional spatter of blood and glitter (or glittery blood) and weapons scarring from past incidents. There are few defining features to show an inexperienced Agent the way.

There is one hard and fast rule to navigating the corridors of the PPC. If you think of where you are going, then you will never arrive there. If you have to venture into the corridors then you should always carry a distraction, be it music, a book or another Agent. If the batteries on your music player are dead, your books are all missing and your partner objects to being carried, then don't be afraid to hum or sing as loudly as you like. No one will think you are any more insane than the other denizens of HQ. If you are sufficiently distracted then you will surely reach your goal, even if you don't want to.

Location
PPC HQ is located, well, everywhere. Some of it is built within plotholes, but for the most part, it is made up of tiny fragments of the various worlds. A short stretch of corridor may be inside the Misty Mountains, while the next stretch could be in orbit around Hoth. These are natural plotholes, so in the event of a complete power failure, they will still remain open... hopefully.

On Earth, the PPC's official address is in New Caledonia.
