Alright, first IC post is up.  I have presented a situation anyone can get involved in, since it's between the two cities that we actually have players in.  If your character will not get involved, that's fine too, you can still post what your character is doing, or create another situation that others can get involved with if you would like.

The distance from either city to the plant is approx. 280 km, or 175 mi.  If your character travels at the speed of sound, you'll get there in approx. 15 minutes, assuming your character starts out in one of the two cities.
