After dropping Isabella off at the apartments, Tyson proceeds on to the medical clinic where he leaves Dr Johnson, Marshal Favre, and Executive Officer Steinmann.
He then drives on to the maintenance sector and stops at a large open area marked 'Engineering Facility'. Kiara, Sam, and Moses disembark and wander inside.
The Engineering Facility is a vast open area filled with cacophonous sounds of clanging and hissing. It is hot and there is the smell of combustible gases mixed with a metallic tang. Sparks, smoke, and condensing water vapour obscure the air and the lighting casts a dull orange glow and flickers intermittently.
The floor is covered in patches of yellow cross hatching marking out hazardous areas and there are numerous large red emergency stop buttons and flashing warning lights.
Various workbenches are set up around the room and these are scattered with tools; drills, hammers, etc
Piled aganst the walls are crates of different sizes along with stacks of rigid metal pipework and coils of flexible tubing. Automated trucks and carts drive in and out of the facility hauling parts.
Pieces of heavier machinery are either left standing in the middle of the floor or being used by technicians and engineers; including forklifts, heavy manipulators, large saws and drills, and even a power loader.
Around the upper level of the space is a metal walkway accessed by some stairs and in one corner is what looks like an office with one small grimy window.
There is a bustling workforce of technical staff, all wearing large orange ear defenders. In one corner a maintenance engineer wearing a face shield uses a cutting torch to remove the mangled manipulator from an ARM
Against the back wall a technician is pressing the nozzle of an incinerator unit into a large metal container filled with waste and hosing the contents with flaming combustible gas.
By the entrance are two people dressed more like corporate scientists than technicians. One man has an array of transparent beakers and is dipping in various probes attached to datapads and pipetting liquids of different bright colours. Nearby a woman is surrounded by electronic equipment and seems to be using some kind of spectroscopic imager to examine a sheet of metal which is bent and misshapen.
