On Ataraxia

[A/)- The Inner Phalanx]

Many of the sub-sections beneath the surface consist of various workshops, labs, manufacturing sections, server rooms and other areas that make up the bulk of the R&D and Zeta Sections. These sections - Especially ones marked with the Zeta insignia, are off-limits to non-essential personnel. Many can't even get access due to the bio-scanners and security checkpoints which monitor traffic in and out of those areas.

The workshops often consist of drafting consoles and design tables for brainstorming and discussing the development and improvement of technology, equipment, or in rare occurrences - themselves. There is no negativity surrounding interest involving human improvement and evolutionary investigations. In fact, such research is often encouraged for the betterment of the species as whole.

Various levels within Ataraxia are dedicated to the production and manufacture of equipment, technology, and ships up to the size of bombers. Resources are put to use on automated production lines which are monitored by personnel working with Logistics, or R&D. The manufacturing makes use of resources which are imported from allied contracts, Logistics work, or recovered from the local area through other means. Naturally, resource recovery has always been a task for Auxesia, but with the recent influx of size and resource deposits present within the system, it has become somewhat easier to access the needed materials. Of course that doesn't prevent situations from arising.

Many of the needed material require exterior imports, and Auxesia will often reach out to their allies for deliveries, or conduct deals with house corporations, open or otherwise. Another set-back of production is the limited availability of the production machinery, as it is often in use to manufacture weaponry for use on new craft or refits of existing and aging vessels within the fleet. However, as Auxesia continues to grow, these limitations are slowly becoming less hindering to progress and growth, and in the coming months may see a complete irrelevancy.

A significant amount of medical advancements and research falls under the actions of Zeta Section. Many of the projects including nanites in medicine, and more morally questionable projects such as Thalatte have been kept completely under wraps by the illusive section, yet a significant amount was given to the Research & Development for more public access and general use, each properly stocked as they need to be.

Ataraxia makes use of two full-sized hospitals within open areas of the facility, and a closed private medical clinic within Zeta Section under private management. Its purpose is unknown. Nevertheless, the public hospitals are staffed by a full team of trained medical personnel originating from doctorate backgrounds or medical fields within military organizations, as well as the standard medical drones, scanner beds and other state of the art equipment that sees frequent use on the Eidolon Wraith.

Public medical advancements have been somewhat limited, and lately more focused on bionics, implants and prosthetics for regular use amongst Auxesian personnel, ranging from standard enhancements, concealed weapons in bionic limbs, neural interface chips and a wide variety of other applications. There is frequent use of nanotechnology within Auxesia in regards to medical applications and surgical corrections, as well as robotics for general nursing. This limits the need for an excessive amount of medical personnel to be present, and ensures the same amount of care is given by drones as well as humans.
