Experimental Holding You hear the quiet hum of machinery upon entering this room, and find it coming from the many transparent pods installed within it. They line the walls from floor to ceiling, and contain figures both familiar and unfamiliar; pipes filled with a blue liquid run throughout the room, attached to every pod and to the center console. The vast majority of these bodies appear to be identical, but for some reason, you can’t tell exactly what these figures all look like. The rest of the bodies are-- you? Each and every one of them is unconscious, both your clones and the unfamiliar ones, and the controls in the center of the room appear to be a different kind of technology than you might be used to. Mess with it at your own risk; you’ll find that sometimes, when you glance away, you’ll look back to find a pod is suddenly empty. Look closer, and it’s occupied again.
Let the mods know if you try to interfere with the pods!
Planetarium When you enter, this room seems completely dark-- until, one by one, pinpricks of light appear above you. They begin to appear faster and faster, until a galaxy full of stars provides a soft, dim glow, just enough to see by. There’s seating in the form of both chairs and mats upon the floor, and if you bring in another source of light you’ll be able to read the star charts posted here and there on the walls below the sky. They’re only about six feet high, but if you try to reach above them, you will touch nothing; you can’t reach the ceiling of this room, if there is one, nor can you touch whatever the stars are presumably being projected onto.
If you can find the appropriate button on the wall, the floor and walls will disappear to give you a full, three-dimensional view of space, complete with a model of an unfamiliar planet system floating gently above you. You’re still standing on something solid, and the seating is still here, but only if you’re actively using it; the models can be moved around with a gesture of your hand, or replaced with constellation charts.
??? When you enter this room, at first you see nothing but darkness-- there’s the sensation of something solid beneath your feet, and you can walk forward, but it takes a minute for your eyes to adjust. Shortly after you enter, the area will begin coming into view; the lighting remains dim, and it’s difficult to tell if whatever light source exists here is tinted purple, or if it’s just that everything here is purple. You’ll find you’re standing on an outcropping of a rough, unpolished crystalline material, with more formations of it visible in what passes for the ‘sky’. There are no clouds, no stars, no celestial objects. Just the occasional hint of what appears to be something like a purple miasma, and the glint of more crystal in the distance. The surface you stand on appears to keep forming beneath your feet as you walk, if you feel like exploring, but… it seems like there’s nothing else here.
Security A smaller room with two walls covered by computers tied into security cameras throughout the unlocked area. The computers on one side show all of the miscellaneous rooms, and the computers on the opposite side are black aside from the occasional flicker of a single one.
