Site AZAZEL is the primary installation of DETR, sunk into the Antarctic ice sheet approximately 20 kilometres south of Vostok Station and directly above Ark Chasm. The lowest level stands at a depth of 3,000 metres, inside the ice and just above bedrock.

The name[edit]

Azazel is the desert entity of Leviticus 16, to whom the scapegoat is sent. On the Day of Atonement the sins of the people are laid on the animal's head and it is driven out to Azazel, into the wilderness, carrying what the community cannot hold.

The rabbinical tradition also names Azazel as a place: a cliff or mountain, at the foot of which everything sent there is destroyed and does not return.

The installation was named deliberately.

Cross-section[edit]

Level Depth Zone Contents
Level-1 500 m A Command and Control, Operations Support, Offices and Administration, Depot, Environmental Control, Water Treatment, Electrical Utility Station, canteens
Level-2 1,200 m A Security Checkpoint, Biological Research Wing, Central Research Lobby, Engineering and Maintenance Station 2, barracks, armoury, low- and high-risk holding
Level-3 2,100 m B Type-A and Type-D cells, blast doors, Central Elevator, Electrical Station, Depot
Level-4 3,000 m B ████████████████████

Vertical movement by Cargo Lift ALPHA (L1), Cargo Lift CHARLIE (L2–L3), and the Central Elevator. The Level-4 vault stands on its own shaft, independent of every other lift run in the installation.

Zones[edit]

  • Zone A (L1–L2). Administrative and research.
  • Zone B (L3–L4). Containment. Access at Class-B minimum, Class-A below Level-3.

Classification of holdings[edit]

Three independent axes. Every entry in the register carries one code from each.

Hazard Rating[edit]

Code Label Meaning
HR-1 Limited Impact Controlled Threat
HR-2 High Impact Priority Asset
HR-3 Strategic-Scale Impact Global Event Catalyst

Control Status[edit]

Code Label Meaning
CS-A Stable Controlled Asset
CS-B Unstable Volatile Asset
CS-C Non-Compliant Control Unfeasible

Cognitive Access Level[edit]

Code Label Meaning
CAL-1 Open General review permitted
CAL-2 Restricted Indirect interface required
CAL-3 Prohibited Cognitive lockdown

Siting[edit]

The ice at Vostok Station is approximately 3,700 metres thick. Level-4 sits inside the sheet rather than in rock, roughly seven hundred metres above bedrock.
