> Can a Lodge be established in something that moves?, Not (quite) the same as a Lodge itself being portable.

So, here's my question:

On page 178 of SR4A, it says "Lodges can be established almost anywhere. While the contents of a lodge can be moved, lodges are not portable. It is an Awakened place, more than the sum of the objects it contains. After being moved a lodge must be set up again and a new activation ritual performed."

Now, this means pretty clearly that if, say, you're a Runner and you have your lodge set up in a basement and you suddenly need to clear out in a hurry (you got advance notice that the 'Star are closing in and you need to grab your important shit, knock down the lodge and scoot out into the Orc Underground,) you're going to have to set the Lodge up again.


But what if you build your lodge inside something which is, itself, portable? On the small end, say, an ISO shipping container which fits on a flatbed truck or even a rail car, or if you built it in an old boxcar or caboose? Would your lodge collapse (as a Lodge, anyway,) the moment the container budges an inch?

What if you went bigger - much bigger. Say, a room in the bowels of an oceangoing vessel? Would it be possible to set up a lodge that would hold in there, or not? Again, would it collapse when the ship moves, or would it stay 'anchored' to the ship and stay whole?
