Information Kiosk

A centrally located phone-booth sized kiosk housing a virtual assistant that provides Volunteers with a local map and basic information about The Commons, and other need-to-know information for fulfilling their roles.

Residential Towers

Known to Volunteers as ‘the Towers.' These bleak high rises contain small capsules where Volunteers can rest and seek shelter during system resetting storms. One capsule is automatically assigned to each Volunteer. It is unknown so far if better accommodations can be acquired. 'Refreshing' results in restored essence, energy, and the removal of neutralized status ailments.

Task Assignment Boards

Known to Volunteers as the ‘Bounty Boards’ and located near the Armory and Supply Depot. These constantly shuffling screens track available system-generated tasks in real time. Volunteers can assign themselves to eliminate specific invasive entities throughout The Collective in exchange for rewards. Volunteers must return to the boards to collect payment after completing the task. Dying nullifies reward eligibility. It is unknown if there are other ways to access Task Assignments beyond this one location.

MAR Station

The Commons stop for the fast transit MAR system, carrying Volunteers to other parts of The Collective. Due to the stalled migration of new Citizens into The Collective, the trains are often empty, especially close to The Commons. Other stops along the route include but are not limited to Royal Heights, the Palisades, and Lower Dresden.

Supply Depot

A store where consumables, materials, nostalgia items, and some non-combat accessories can be purchased with Crypt. The sublevel houses a body modification and cosmetic clinic. The currently inaccessible upper level contains ???

A store where weapons, armor, and some combat-related accessories can be purchased with Crypt. Weapons can be tested in the Firing Range or Dojo. Ammunition is unlimited in the Firing Range, and sparring bots can be used in the Dojo.

Data Forge

A special and powerful processing center capable of combining fragments of foreign code with system code, where a unique energy / fuel source known as Crystals are used for the following purposes: Convert, Forge, Fuse, Export, Transmute.

Restoration Point

A towering landmark in the center of The Commons. A place where Volunteers can save their metadata. Upon death, Volunteers (including their skills and inventory) can be restored to the most recently backed up version (for a hefty fee).

Repository

Unexplored. It is said to be a place where excess Crypt, gear, and items can be stored outside of one’s inventory - essentially a bank / safe deposit box for various forms of data. A service known as an ‘instant transfer subscription’ has been mentioned.

Archives

Apparently an older part of The Commons, or perhaps even The Collective, this subterranean library / server farm allows Volunteers to dive deep and research just about any information from human history. Useful for gaining knowledge about invasive flora and fauna that may provide Volunteers with an advantage in carrying out their tasks.

Rathskeller

A local watering hole for Volunteers and the headquarters of the ‘Round Table,’ a group of elite bounty hunters working to finish the mission of removing all invasive entities from The Collective. A hidden sublevel also contains ??? and ???.

Red Light District

Popularly known as the 'Red Light.' An alleyway at the very edge of The Commons where Volunteers and curious Citizens alike can purchase companionship from pleasure bots, no questions asked.
