Operation Chinup
18.75″ x 13.75″ x 12.25″ (47.6 cm x 34.9 cm x 31.1 cm)
Collection of the American Arkology Society, No. 1886.53

Location: Searchlight, Pacific Zone. Present-day Nevada.

After the NE09 Arroyo Grande Accord fixed its eastern border with the Southwest Zone at the Colorado River, the Pacific Zone found itself faced with continuing unrest fueled by separatists attempting to carve out larger swaths of territory for the SWZ. As the disorder continued, the PZ escalated its ruthless suppression of dissidents.

In this scene, two members of the PZ’s elite Split-8 security forces chase a boy through the streets of a small community located between the Colorado River and the present-day California-Nevada border.

Posters in this scene, based on artifacts discovered in the Glendale Ark, depict PZ President Nicholas Sung wading in blood before a curtain of barrel bombs. The text, “ASESINO,” is Spanish for “murderer.”

Listen to arkologist Dr. Sandra Carlsson discuss this model:

Split-8 security forces
The two men seen here, members of the Split-8 security forces, are conducting a block-by-block sweep through the town of Searchlight, in present-day Nevada. Known as Operation Chinup, events like this one led to mass incarceration and imprisonment of those suspected of insurgent activity.

Graffiti
Evidence of this tag has been found in Arks across the western United States, which indicates to arkologists that the street artist “exfil” is able to move freely across the Pacific Zone. “Exfil” presumably refers to “exfiltration,” the act of being extracted from a hostile area.

Poster
The poster on the wall depicted here features the pixellated face of a young girl. Images like these, evidence of which have been found in multiple Arks, are presumably created as a form of protest against PZ-initiated disappearances of loved ones. The numbers seen here presumably refer to a birth- or disappearance date. Compare with the keychain found in the Maddox Ark.

Boy
The boy in this scene, chased by security forces, rushes to hide among the junk piles in this vacant lot. In his hand he holds a small piece of technology; perhaps he is being used as a courier between separatists, or perhaps he simply found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Poster
The poster on the wall in this model depicts PZ President Nicolas Sung. Assassinated in NE13, Sung was equally loved and loathed by PZ residents for his brutal crackdown on unrest along the border.
