There are other routes in this roleplay that you can follow other than travelling to the wheel, TheReturnOfTheKing; in fact, there are at least four different factions operating around this moon. However, if you really want to get there, travel across the ice, rather than climb down the cliff.

Also, please refrain from 'Halo' references; I have neither played, watched or read anything to do with Halo. The association of Halo with just about any rotating space habitat is becoming extremely tiring. When I look it up, the Halo seems to resemble some sort of Bishop Ring; it is immensely large and open-topped.

The wheel in this scenario is a Stanford Torus, with a self-sustaining ecology based on ideas by Project Persephone, which is a part of Project Icarus. The wheel is just a few dozen kilometres across, and the atmosphere has to be contained by a closed roof.

If anything I would have expected somebody to compare the wheel to the recent film Elysium, which contains a much similar space habitat to the Stanford Torus that I am depicting than in Halo.

I apologise if this came across as some sort of crazy rant. I take the originality of fictional works very seriously. This also helps me to present the stem of my ideas for the design of the wheel.
