Imagymnasium
Small Preschool | [Find a Center Near You] | Horizon Education Action Committee, operator; Horizon Group, owner | Bias towards You

Fun. Fast. Leaning. The Imagymnasium: where children learn to integrate - not separate - realities. Have you ever felt lost? Confused in this high-tech world? Imagine how your child feels. The Imagymnasium: the first building block to a happy head. State of the art holographic projectors. A safe environment. Highly skilled staff. The Imagymnasium: Progress guaranteed. The Imagymnasium: the only name in child care.

    ► I'd say surprisingly affordable - but this being Horzon, I'll say suspiciously affordable instead. It is, however, about the only place you find rich and poor, ork and elf tots mingling, albeit virtually. Fascinating, and just a little scary, to see the natural hierarchy forming in three-year-olds.
    ► Barreness von Tusken

    ► Anybody know what the security is like for these places?
    ► Gardener

    ► Real subtle there, greenie, but to answer: the physical security is comparable to McHughs. You've got the concrete barriers, the double door security airlock. Matrix wise is hardcore, but all less than lethal. Magic is probably the weakest, but if your target is who I think, then expect a spirit to be watching over her, in addition to the bodyguards out in the van and spydrones in the trees.

Colvos Hanging Gardens Cemetery
Vast Mausoleum | Colvos Harbor, SW Rt. 198 & Cemetery Rd, Vashon Island, Outremer, Seattle, UCAS | Kelly Lai-Tufayl ThD, conservator; Xuan Earthworks, Inc, owner | No Bias

Nestled in a serene harbor along the picturesque coast, the Colvos Hanging Gardens provides the perfect quiet resting place for your loved ones, safe from the tumultuous winds of the Sixth World. With almost three cubic kilometers of terraced gardens, creeks and waterfalls all contained within the conservatory sphere, the Gardens offers families endless safety and solace for reflection as they stroll comfortably about the grounds. Space is available at competitive pricing, take a tour of our grounds and reserve your resting place today.

Access to the Gardens is strictly limited to pedestrians and PMVs only, via the main shore suspension bridge. Arrangements for internment must be approved by the UCAS or Metroplex officials within one hour of death, please contact our support staff for Emergency Undertaking Services or make arrangements prior to death. Be aware that the Colvos Hanging Gardens Cemetery is a Mana Inhibited Zone and requires federal or corporate licensing 138F12 for use and carry.
    ► Place looks like a huge fraggin' naval mine, complete with spikes and a massive mooring chain. The dull, one-way glass only adds to the image. It's a great place to hide under if you time the patrols right, though.
    ► Sounder

    ► Cemetery plots are leased, not owned. Can't pay? No, prob, we'll just dig that right up for ya. Lot of families were facing just that prospect after the Crash, but then Malaysian Independent Bank was kind enough to step in and offer special financing. Tit for tat, natch.
    ► Plebbers & Wachuzee

    ► Kelly Lai-Tufayl, poly-doctoral graduate from the Univerzity Karlovy, wife of the (in)famous spirit hunter Sayf al Azad Tufayl, and once a promising and quickly advancing geomancer for Wuxing... Now a glorified undertaker. So, my only question is: who'd she slot off?
    ► Demongoddess

    ► My understanding is that she designed the Xuan Kong Shui Fa Sphere as her graduate thesis, and when she had enough pull in Wuxing, they let her build it. The Colvos Passage has an unusual dragon line running northward through it. Northward being the key here, as the line is polarized from an imbalance in Yin and Yang. Instead of trying to correct the imbalance, the Xuan Sphere syphons chi from the dragon line to create a type of mana field known as a dynamic geodesic inversion cloud. Which is basically a cyclone of astral energy.
    ► Walks Along the Treetops

    ► Kinda like a bug zapper for shedim, the spirits get stuck into the astral whirlpool and spin around and around until they dissipate.
    ► Star Folly

    ► Yes, kind of like a "bug zapper" - except not at all. The "cyclone" also has the side effect of generating a large "static charge" inside the sphere to continue with the terrible analogies. Better known as a power site, the mana inside the field is negative polarized and heavily aspected by the geomancy of the gardens. Of course, with the mana ebb outside, no magic from inside can escape, so you have to wonder what they're doing with it all.

Terveyskylpylä, Sauna and Matrix Bar
Small Coffin Bar | 2382 Maple Valley Rd, Renton, Seattle, UCAS | Riitta Suomalainen, owner, operator | No Bias

Sit back, relax, let the hot waters, sweet smelling steam and cooling refreshments take all your troubles away. Our personal steam rooms duplicate the unique experience of a true Finnish sauna, without worry of interruption or dehydration. Bask in the warmth, bathe in the whirlpools, and choose any of our imported or domestic drinks from your personal beverage hose. Sanitation guaranteed. Relaxation assured.

► Pretty unusual place. A tall and narrow, largely nondescript building surrounded by the same (mostly apartments). There's a single spiral staircase that takes you up, with sliding doors every couple meters. AROs flash in front of empty tubes which you can rent - watch out, the cost is metered so it's important to pay attention to time. Right inside the door is a dry box for your clothes and a shower with exactly enough room between entrance and the whirlpool to move around. The tub itself has a headrest, so you can go VR without drowning, and a drinking hose at each armrest. It can hold two... if she sits on your lap. There's one or two larger rooms if you go down rather than up, in case you're having a party. It's strictly BYOW, though.
► Chezzter

► What, you missed the saunas - too many stairs to climb, omae? Up top there's an ice cold pool with a very slippery deck surrounded by private saunas. A note: the whole building is tile and synthwood, meaning everything gets very slippery, including the stairs (despite little grip stickers everywhere). Watch your step.

Notes
30 nuyen per hour. There's an emergency exit via a panel in the sauna floor, and whirlpool wall, which leads to a winding stairwell on the outside of the building. Cleaning of coffins is automated and occurs after each use.

Come to West Port Plaza and Experience More…

► It’s kind of a corporate eco friendly utopia with the shady side. They took a corperate plaza and added it’s perfect little town atmosphere. It’s like its own downtown area megaplex, run and by a corporation, that sells office space to other corporations. I actually did live there for a time. I got a run against one the Mega Corps that rent space there. I went on my balcony to review the file over breakfast. Saw the address, looked up and almost crapped myself. It was a job in the Golden Tower across the plaza. Grabbed my binoculars and started planning. The Johnson was actually with the company that owned the plaza, and the Mega Corp was late on rent. I moved out shortly after due to some issues with the Plaza management.
â–º Goro, Blue Skinned Nartaki, wanted for questioning.

► All sorts of do dads you can find at the bazaar. They have everything from the chain retail stores to the tent sellers. Even a little grocery store. You been to Tokyo or Hong Kong? Well think of the Plaza like that but on a smaller scale. When the company transferred me here I was sceptial. Five years later I’ve never even been out of the Plaza. I live, work, and play all right here.
â–º Peter Wong, Middle Management wage slave

► Security and Staff is all internal to the Plaza’s mother corporation, whoever that is. Rumors say it’s an AI or one of those Technomaners. I sure do know that one time Lone Star tried to chase one of those shadow guys here. As soon as the guy got his foot on our property, Lone Star stopped dead in their tracks. Meet with Plaza Security, who ended up catching the runner. If the LS won’t step foot on here without repercussions, that means whatever runs this big brother utopia knows some people.
â–º Joe, the Coffee Barista

â–º See that guy over there with the hand canon on his hip? There is an open license here for the most part. Every building has its own rules, but do you see any violence? Anyone yelling shop lifter? No, because Plaza Security uses heavy surveillance and they know everything. They are everywhere man. EVERYWHERE.
â–º Customer of Joe the Coffee Barista

Contacts
Retail Store Manager, Corporate Mr/s. Johnson, Street Performers, Joe the Coffee Barista

Notes
Spam Zone. Plaza Security uses heavy surveillance on their property. Drones, scanners, cameras, even air drones and magic wards. No Gear Restrictions unless noted by building unit.

They have abnormally thick and sound absorbing walls and each booth kind of has a silence emitter around them. Great for private conversations.
