TITAN campus, 10:44am+, Oct 29th 2004. the Residency
Nightwing simply smiles and shakes his head at Tara's back. To Tim, Toni and Superboy and says "Well if you want we have some time before lunch. Lets see if anyone else want to go with us. Tornado will also take some of them later. We only have about 45 minutes but I can at least walk you around so that you can get to know all the buildings…"
With that Nightwing asks some of the other students milling around if they want to go if any other players with to go, speak up… Cody (Risk) and Starfire both ask to come. So the students and Grayson head out the front door and walk back towards the Administration building. "OK to start out, this is where all the government workers that are supporting the school work out of. There are a couple of restricted areas inside, where only D.O.E. directors and high-ranking U.S. officials can go. If you have any questions about your grades, records, etc. this is where you go. With the Freedom of Information Act, pretty much all of the information that the government has on you is available to you. It is not available to the general public or to other students, so don't worry. They are concerned about your personal privacy. The building also houses state of the art satellite communication center on Sub-level 1, where we monitor world events and set up private commutations to just about anywhere in the world."
Continuing on, you come to a set of two linked buildings, each two stories high. "We call this building the Laboratory, and it is the Science and Genetics buildings. Classes will be held here every day on these subjects and if you want to pursue private research, we only ask that you log your time and the types of research you are doing. The laws of genetic and scientific research have to be followed. Just because of our gifts, we are not above the law and all. There are two Sub-levels, where the campus's main computer is housed. We call it simply FRAME. And as far as I can tell it is suppose to stand for Fast Reliable Answers, MaybE. Some kind of joke of the technicians who installed it I guess."
The next building is two-stories, and very long, with a large domed roof on the west wing. "This building is called simply the Classrooms. So of course this is where you will attend the curriculum that you choose, along with all the basic classes. Monday you will get a good run down of the whole building and all of the rooms etc."
A tall one-story steel and stone building, that is also fairly long, is next. "We call this the Garage and it is where all of the TITAN facility vehicles are keep. If you have a driver licenses you can check out a car of the day on the weekends. If you don't have a license yet, you can take a class here to get one. It has a fully stocked garage facility and on-staff mechanics that are some of the best in the country. We also have a VTOL ramjet, somewhat similar to that provided to the Justice League. It is for emergency only though and if you want to get test out for it, that is an option also."
Moving on then, Dick leads you back behind administration, to a two-story brick building that is somewhat smaller then the rest. "We call this building the Workshop. This is where all of your training of your meta-abilities will be held. It is almost entirely underground, with Six sub-levels in fact. Weight-lifting systems here should be able to handle even your Alpha levels of superhuman strength Superboy. Sub-level 2 has an Olympic size pool and full gymnastic gym. There are special training room set up to withstand most of your powers, so that we can test them in a safe environment without fear of hurting anyone. The bottom level is a huge training room. It has a state of the art "hard-light" holo-technology that will allow us to create almost any environment.
Farther back, you come to a large sports field, with a track, football, basketball and tennis court. "This is obviously the sports field, and you can check out just about anything sports related from the Workshop building. We call it simply the Field"
Heading back to the Residency, you come to another non-descriptive two-story building. "This one is called the "Infirmary and we have a state of the art hospital and medical facility here. Again part of it is underground and we the various doctors and scientist will be working on making sure we are all healthy and whole."
Coming around the building there is another building that looks a lot like the Residency; "This would be the Guest Residency where parents, friends, and others will stay if they are visiting you or some of the other staff."
A building near the entrance is next "This is called the "Gatehouse and is where the guards that patrol the grounds and airspace about the schoolwork out of. There are two or three sub-levels also, but this building is restricted. At least for right now. Eventually, you should all be able to get the proper security clearance to access it along with other areas that might be off limits right now."
Next, you come to a large building set up behind the Gatehouse, three stories high and fairly non-descriptive. "This is the Roost and where all other personal that live on the campus are housed. As with any apartment like building, these are private residence for the personal and it is somewhat off-limit. They have the same restricts on them when it comes to visiting the Residency, so we want to respect each other privacy when it comes to where we sleep."
The next building is four-stories, the tallest on campus that you have seen so far. "This is the Library and is first rate, world class library with some exceptionally rare books. The computers set up in the basement of the building are dedicated to library searches and tied in with the Library of Congress's system with access to a D.O.E. databanks on all know meta-criminals on file.
"Well folks that's about it.. Maybe later today we can take a look inside any of them. If any of you are jetlagged though, after lunch you can do what you want. It is about time for lunch though so lets go back and meet up with the other students."
