Facilities & the HIVE-13 Site

Facilities is the directorate that holds the ground HIVE-13 stands on: the apiary grids and containment cells, the venom and cryo labs, the Hornet Vault, the power and climate plant, and the biosecurity zoning that decides who may stand where. Every other department borrows the floor this directorate keeps.

Facility Zones

The HIVE-13 site is partitioned into biosecurity zones, each carrying a containment tier from T1 (open) to T4 (Hornet Vault, restricted). The live floor view — occupancy, seals, and interlocks — runs on the interactive facility map.

Zone	Name	Tier	Function
`CC`	Hive Command Core (MELISSA)	T1	Command floor, MELISSA core, and directorate coordination.
`GA`	Apiary Grid A · Production	T1	Open production apiary — HCL-1 colonies, honey and yield.
`GB`	Apiary Grid B · Production	T1	Open production apiary — second production grid.
`GC`	Apiary Grid C · Breeding	T2	Queen rearing, splits, and breeding-line husbandry.
`BF`	Butterfly Conservatory	T1	Climate-held conservatory for butterflies and moths.
`VL`	Venom Extraction Lab	T3	Apitoxin draws and venom research — two-person rule.
`HV`	Hornet Vault (Restricted)	T4	HCL-4 containment. Director-authorized, two-person entry.
`QT`	Quarantine & Triage	T2	Isolation cells, disease response, and HCL-escalation triage.
`CV`	Cryo Gamete Vault	T3	Cryogenic gamete and genebank storage under seal.
`SB`	Swarm Bay & Drone Hangar	T2	Forager and Hornet-class craft, mobile apiary units.
`NC`	NectarNet Mesh Control	T1	Sensing-mesh control and Comb Data Fabric backbone.
`DD`	Field Dispatch Bay	T2	Crew launch, staging, and field handover for dispatch.

Biosecurity Zoning

Tiers run T1 (open) through T4 (restricted) and map directly onto the Hive Containment Level framework: the higher the tier, the tighter the seal, the access control, and the entry rule. Zoning is doctrine, not signage — seals and interlocks are enforced by the floor, and procedure lives in the SOP library.

🐝T1 · Open

Open Floor (HCL-1)

Production apiary grids, the conservatory, command core, and mesh control. Benign pollinators, standard PPE, and free movement for badged staff. Most of the site is T1.

🛡T2 · Controlled

Controlled (HCL-2)

Breeding, triage, swarm bay, and dispatch. Veiled handling, sting protocol on file, and badge-gated entry. Defensive colonies and staged craft live behind the first seal.

⚠T3 · Contained

Contained (HCL-3)

Venom lab and cryo gamete vault. Two-person rule, antivenom staged, and logged entry. Dangerous or venomous lines and irreplaceable material are sealed and monitored.

⛔T4 · Restricted

Restricted (HCL-4)

The Hornet Vault alone. Existential handling hazard — Director-only authorization, logged two-person entry, and full doctrine before any seal is broken. See the charter HCL framework.

📘Doctrine

Procedure & Sign-off

Every tier crossing is a procedure. Entry rules, seal checks, and escalation handling are owned in the SOP library and aligned to the containment framework.

Live Zoning View

The facility map renders current zone state — occupancy, seal status, and interlocks — so the floor team always knows which tier is open and which is locked down.

Utilities & Maintenance

Facilities runs the plant that keeps the site alive: power, climate, water, and the comms fabric that carries every byte of telemetry. Maintenance cadence and live status below.

System	Provision	Maintenance cadence	Status
Power	Primary grid feed with on-site reserve; sealed-zone failover priority.	Quarterly load test · annual transfer-switch drill.	Nominal
Climate	Per-zone HVAC and humidity hold for conservatory, labs, and cryo.	Monthly filter & setpoint check.	Nominal
Water	Potable, apiary feed-water, and lab-grade supply with backflow isolation.	Quarterly potability assay · biannual line flush.	Nominal
Comms	Comb Data Fabric mesh backbone — self-healing, no single point of failure.	Continuous health-poll · annual node audit.	Self-healing
Cryo Plant	Cryogenic chain for the gamete vault with redundant compressors.	Weekly boil-off check · quarterly compressor service.	Nominal
Containment Seals	Zone interlocks and seals for T2–T4, with HV under independent control.	Monthly seal-integrity test · pre-entry verification.	Monitored

Hornet Vault (HV) — HCL-4, restricted. The Hornet Vault holds the Command's lethal, aggressive, engineered, and classified lines under HCL-4 containment. Access requires written authorization from the Hive Director, a logged two-person entry, and full containment doctrine before any seal is broken — no exceptions, no convenience overrides. HV runs on independent power, climate, and seal control, and is rehearsed under the containment drill program.
