Ron Ridge

Ron I. Ridge was a transport officer assigned to the Communications Transfer point on Mars during the events of Doom 3. A month before the events of Doom 3, Ridge made a report on an increasing number of accidents in the transport tunnels, especially between the EnPro Plant and the Communications facility. He requested changes be made to provide safer working conditions. A few days before the demonic invasion, Ridge sent an email to his coworker James Holiday asking him what he should do with a shipment of seemingly "useless" chainsaws that he'd received.

Ridge was killed during the invasion. His body and PDA are found in PRC Maintenance at the Communications Transfer level. His PDA will give the Player access to the Service Lift.

Unsafe Driving
''This is the audio log of officer Ron Ridge, dated October 16th, 2145. Recent transport tunnel accidents are causing major headaches for both supply and maintenance. Each accident cost is an estimated 1 to 3 hour delay in what are mostly time sensitive shipments.''

''It's becoming evident that certain junctions need safety adjustments as well as recommittment to driving safety by all personnel. The EnPro to Comm Center route has shown the biggest increase in accidents over the past 6 months. Safety signs and improved lighting are needed throughout the main junctions over the stretch of tunnels and paths.''

''Absolutely no recreational vehicle passage should be allowed during peak hours. All personnel should use monorail travel whenever possible to keep cargo shipments flowing smoothly.''

Maintenance Lift Access Restrictions (11-14-2145)
Ron,

''We need you to enforce Maintenance Lift Access Restrictions from this point forward. Several of these lifts can be used to gain entry into areas that are off-limits to the personnel that might only have maintenance access. Please see to it that this is enforced.''

Sincerely, UAC Authority

RE: Those Damn Chainsaws! (11-14-2145)
Ron, ''I don't have any idea what to do with those things. Why don't you throw them down the chasm near enpro like you did that other shit?''

Hey James, ''What are we gonna do with all those chainsaws? We've got two shipments of excess medical equipment coming in very soon and we're gonna need the space. I can't believe someone mis-shipped those things. I can't think of a more useless piece of equipment then a chainsaw on Mars!?! Anyway you gotta help me get rid of these Beavertooths.''

Thanks, -RR
