A-339: Mundo Zargo, Grasslands Agricultural Estate Facility Associate Wing

After another walk there is another intersection.

Tanner continues straight on.  No-one has said a word, and no-one has come the other way.

 

Beyond the door, a large open space, perhaps two-and-a-half levels high has been carved out of the rock.  The bare rock walls are showing behind a series of exposed shiny metal structural supports, though they have been smoothed and it looks like the rock has been sealed with some sort of clear insulating material.  Dotted across the domed ceiling are a series of spotlights that perform as distant task lighting.  Unlike the warmly lit corridor, this area is colder and starker.

Down the middle of this room is an S-shaped pond in which a couple of men are lounging by one edge, drinks nearby. nestled in the crook of one loop of the S, a series of tables, chairs and benches, readily arrangeable into different layouts.  Off to one side looks to be a wet bar and a small kitchenette.  In the other loop of the S, an open space, covered with soft yet robust rubbery flooring marterial.

Dotted around the edges of the space, various doors, including some accessible only from a catwalk up high to the right.  To the left there is an alcove that looks like it could be a very small travel pod station.

Tanner speaks for the first time since leaving the Garage, “We will go to my office.”

He leads them across the space, past the pool to a pair of wide double doors.
