Forge Alpha Facility

The Forge Alpha Facility was a twenty-five level underground base used by Department C4. It was destroyed in 2008 by a clone of the Sixth Doctor. (AUDIO: Project: Lazarus, PROSE: Project: Valhalla)

It was originally an asylum, which was converted into the Forge's headquarters in the 1890s. The asylum was located in a bowl in the terrain. (PROSE: Project: Valhalla)

During World War I, at least a portion of it had the outward appearance of a metal shack. It was surrounded by barbed wire. The building was used for experiments for Project: Twilight. At least 57 test subjects were taken to the facility and injected with the Twilight Virus. On 4 October 1915, these test subjects escaped from the facility, killing 20 of the facility staff.

By 2001, the facility had 25 levels. The first 12 floors contained vehicle bays, laboratories, barracks, a gym, a firing range, and several storage areas. The thirteenth floor contained Charles Crichton's office and the mess hall. Floors 14 to 25 mostly contained research labs which were off-limits to low-ranking Forge personnel.

A network of lifts and ladders connected the facility with the outside world. The main lift exited into the crumbling remains of the asylum. A helicopter landing pad was located nearby. (PROSE: Project: Valhalla)

Iris Wildthyme told Hilary Mercer to mail a damaged time scanner to the Alpha Facility. (PROSE: The Unhappy Medium)
