Editing Mutant: Year Zero (section)

===The Ark===

When you're not crawling through irradiated ruins looking for useful junk, you'll be spending time at the Ark. At the beginning of the campaign, it's a shit show barely holding it together. But at the beginning of each session, as long as there's at least one PC hanging out in the Ark, the group holds an Assembly. This is where you get to decide how you want to advance the Ark. There are four areas of concern: 

* Culture: Building theaters, temples, museums, and other [[Gay|artsy-fartsy]] stuff. Helps your characters know how to read and write, and makes the NPCs of the Ark less likely to turn to [[Heresy|less savory means]] when the shit hits the fan.
* Food: Investing in farming, and better food preparation and storage. Because, you know, the People are starving. Kind of important.
* Technology: Helps your characters know what the hell all stuff they find in the Zone actually does without having to roll for it. Can also be increased by handing in the stuff you find to the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Dawn Vault]] for study and safe keeping.
* [[Khorne|Warfare]]: Barricades, fortifications, and [[Imperial Guard|arming the populace]] for when all the gribblies the PCs have been carving through in the Zone decide to return the favor.

You advance these areas through Projects. During the session's assembly, the group, representing the Ark as a whole, [[Skub|come to a consensus]] on a project and the People get to work. Each project has a required number of Work Points for it to be completed. A PC may spend a day working on a project rather than tromping through the wasteland to contribute to a project, or can be [[That Guy]] and attempt to sabotage one.
