"A risk assessment of the Piql Services" by FFI

the future. As the user class is undefined in this scenario, so is the time period, but it could apply for both: the result would be the same.

The climate zone is temperate. It is winter, in the beginning of February. The local weather conditions are fairly cold and dry: 10° Celsius with a relative humidity of 70 % during the day and 4° Celsius and 45 % relative humidity during the night. The attack occurs mid-morning, to ensure that a maximum amount of people are at work. The scenario takes place while the piqlFilms are in storage in the piqlVault. The piqlVault system is placed in a storage room located in lower floors of an office building. The targeted organisation has offices on the same floor, but on the other side of the building. The vault is regulated through ventilation to uphold the ISO standards governing levels of humidity and temperature.

Consequences

The physical infrastructure of the building housing the NGO and the piqlVault suffers severe structural damage, but remains standing. Neither does the bomb cause a large fire, only smaller ones spread out. The power supply, however, is cut off due to damages to the electrical system. The structural integrity of the building is compromised to such an extent that it is unsafe to enter the building for several days before structural engineers have secured it and cleared it for entry. The infrastructure of the storage room is also affected by the blast. The walls nearest to the position of the bomb are blasted apart, only arming is left. The contents of the piqlVault are exposed to the elements, as the walls surrounding the piqlVault or indeed the outer walls of the building are no longer whole. Additional loss of power makes maintaining the ideal storage conditions impossible. When the bomb blasts the walls of the storage room apart, some of the pieces of concrete hit the piqlVault system grid. The pressure wave causes the grid to shift out of its original position and tilt, but as it gets support from a back wall, it does not fall over. The tightly stacked piqlBins also help to stabilise the grid. The piqlBoxes slam into the side of the piqlBins with a significant amount of force when the pressure wave hits, but they do not open, and are otherwise not harmed. Even if they did open, the piqlFilm would not
