Mt. Memir, 23.4 KM west of Mt. Erebus,  is renown for the healing virtues (+1 to wounds) & 
soporific nature of the mineral waters flowing out of the Lake Dreams, the lake formed in the 
crater of Mt. Memir.    Discovered in 1078, the IISS personnel quickly set up a base camp to study 
the waters.  The waters of the lake fed by rain, drainage, & underground rivers feed the Asegherir 
River which eventually flows into the greater river drainage system west of the central range on 
mountains.  Two waterfalls, the Serenity Falls (which drop into Lake Serenity) & the lower 
Rozinaar Falls make for a spectacular view among the steep & wooded sides of the volcano.    The 
steep sides(45-60 degrees) are a deterrent to the medium & large fauna of the region.  The initial 
site was expanded  on the 1.2 by 1.6 Kilometer plateau in 1081 to include a fortified residence area 
& a landing capable of handling a 100 tonne scoutship.  A long staircase from the residence to 
Serenity Falls was also built to ease acess to that site.  Phalaris used it as a retreat after most of 
her scout team was recalled.  In 1124 Bette Noire scouted the site & had initially planned to build a 
shrine over most of the landing zone.  Exploration, however revealed a small plateau area above & 
west of Serenity Falls to be a more suitable site.  When finished, Mt. Memir will become a spiritual 
retreat.  Currently, Bette has a Torii gate setup at the beginning of the staircase & a small water 
shrine erected in Lake Serenity.  Bette also uses the site for a retreat for her & her children (who 
are assisting her).
Memir originally had five automated missile quad missile launchers(80 missile magazines each) in 
the surrounding hills as a defense.  Bette has upgraded these sites & added more modern sensor & 
targeting equipment & added 8 grav drones armed with 1 laser cannon..  Security is handled by 
robotic drones flying out of Mt. Erebus operated by Companion.  This surveilance is augmented by 
human supervised or directed drones since Bette's landing.

      Memir House was built in 1081 & reached its present form in 1101.  Main power is 
from geothermal sinks with a small fusion powerplant.  The house itself is 
armored  (80 points of damage to penetrate). The floor requires 100 points of 
damage for penetration.  The only door to the house is built of armor plate (100 
points of damage to penetrate).The compund walls are vitrified stone  3 meters 
high & .5 meter thick (100 points of damage to penetrate). The walls have 
staircases leading to catwalks forming firing positions  on the walls.   Bette Noire  
modified the armored, rotating sensor & observation deck by adding quad laser 
cannons.  She has also added two remote 5.5 gatling guns to the main gate.  
There is a natural hotsprings 20 meters east the compound.
