   Sculpted onto the surface of the wall is a delicate depiction of the events
that unfolded that tragic night in 2039.  On this particular section, there is
a scene of the surviving metahumans' escape into the sewer system.  Although
it is rumored that the orks prevented the elves from escaping that night, this
scene shows all four metatypes fleeing together.

The Crying Wall~
   Not so long after the Night of Rage, metahumans cleared the site that
contained the burned ruins of the waterfront warehouses, and erected the
Crying Wall in its place.  At first glance, it would be hard to discern that
this place, so green with grass and flowers, and flooding with visitors, was
where the massacre had taken place.

Avenue~

agressive, which only makes the general mood worse. Supposedly, the bio-grown
flowers that form a chain over the entire mall are meant to help make the
place more aesthetically pleasing, but they don't seem to have much of an
effect, certainly on the more grumpy lot.

Weaponry~
   Weapons, weapons, and more weapons. Little else resides around here. Each
individual gun is shining with virtual glitter, gleaming at you brightly.

The Library~
   Rows upon rows of books line up against the wall. Several desks over at the
far end of the chamber stand empty, waiting for attendants.

The Larder~
   The virtual smell of good, genuine food is blinding. Probably a damn sight
better than the real life partner, this larder is jam-packed with delicious
cyber foods.

Stock House~
   A small, tucked away little store room greets you, its insides stacked with
boxes upon boxes of files and stock reports.

Food Warehouse~
   Hundreds upon thousands of neatly, individually-wrapped boxes of food,
drinks and home goods are piled on top of each other, in a fashionable order.
The room is not incredibly large, but still somehow manages to contain this
much food.

The Outback~
   The place is fitted out just as one would expect an outdoors, hiking-type
shop to have. The motif is a gently shade of sandy beige, not too harsh or
stimulating, but more of the rugged look. The room seems to hold mostly item
lists and stock reports, and any other files you might expect on a shop's
system.

The Roster~
   This is not so much a single room, but rather a large cube with hundreds of
small slots carved into it. Each slot is big enough to pass your hand into,
but from here you cannot see what lies inside. The cube revolves consistently
around a small lake of crystal-clear water, than tinkles and splashes below
you.
