Chapter 3 - Facilities

Mundane (7) (5 perks)

Weapons Lab (Starbound) (100CP)

A lab full of analysis and test equipment, aimed specifically at deciphering and improving deadly weaponry. You can use this lab to analyze any weapons that you come across, and given time, can figure out how to isolate and combine the different features of the weapons into other weaponry you create. Comes with a melee and firing range for testing out any weapons as well.

- INFINITE FUN SPACE WORLDS (The Culture Minds) (200CP)

A numinous selection of metamathical simulated universes which can be indistinguishable from the real thing. You can live out any fantasies you like in them, from the most realistic slices of life to wildly outrageous war simulations, to varying degrees of controlled narrative or pure mechanistic outcome, and to realistic or magical physics or metaphysics. Or, simply conduct experiments and sims for science and personal enlightenment? These many virtual universes do not consume any of your personal processing ability or memory to maintain.

* Where else can you find infinite simulated universes that you can fully control that can simulate magic and normal physics perfectly.

* Might not be easy to use for anyone without massive computational skill, this thing is meant to be used by Minds on ships which are basically very very powerful AIs.

REMEMBER YOUR OFF SWITCH – (300CP)

You'll always remember where your off switch is located. That is to say, a Mind can delve so deeply into Infinite Fun Space they cease to care about the real world at all, which can be problematic. No matter how

much Seriously Heavy Simming you do, or what alternate realities your mind or consciousness dream up or project into, you'll never forget which level of "you" is the real one, lose track of how far 'deep' into imaginary space you go, ignore a real threat thinking it is a simulated one, or mistake a dream death for a real one.

- Black Supercomputer (Lucy) (400CP)

Everyone needs one, really. Or they should have one anyway. Unlimited storage and borderline unlimited processing power, omni-compatible I/O jacks, indestructible, immune to malware, and with crystal-clear wi-fi wherever you go, it also has the most intuitive, perfect UI imaginable and an operating system that's magically compatible with pretty much anything you could install. You could even install an AI into the operating system if you had one available, although this item does not come with one.

It's conveniently portable and morphs into any computing device you wish with just a thought.

Mainframe workstation, pro gaming desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone, smartwatch, whatever. Either way its functionalities remain the same even if the exact details of the UI might differ from form to form.

If it's lost or left behind, you can summon it to you with a thought. In future worlds the internet connection remains, but only to the current jump's internet equivalent. Lastly, it comes with a limited perception filter that guarantees that no one will notice any of the special features of your device unless you wish them to, although they will still be able to see that it's there.

* Portable, returns to you, has SEP field

* Unlimited memory and near unlimited processing power

* Perfect UI

Workshop of the Future (Generic Cyberpunk) (600CP)

What you could make if only you had the tools. It's a lamentation that you'll never find yourself making ever again. This absolute masterpiece of a workspace is large enough that even a megacorp wouldn't find it lacking, either in space or capability, capable of hosting every pursuit or project you care to imagine and often many of those at once.

Most unique however is the impossibly nuanced automation that has been worked into it's countless systems and utilities.

Even the most exacting genius or craftsman would find no reason to fault letting the systems here do the work for them, allowing them to focus entirely on pushing the boundaries and leaving grunt work to the machines.

These systems effectively share your crafting skills and abilities including the effects of perks.

If you've purchased the Augmentation Suite and/or Keys to the Matrix then they are seamlessly integrated, and with the Personal Arm Computer the entire sight could be managed trivially from it's interface. May be either an actual facility or attached to your warehouse.

Comes with a limitless stock of raw materials and resources barring the truly extraordinary, same as the Augmentation Suite. Whatever tools or functions it lacks can easily be built with what is here if needed. Never suffer for tools again.

Magical (8) (5 perks)

- A Barrier of Prespective (Toyhou Forbidden Hermit) (200CP)

You have an extensive understanding of the arts required to create Gensokyo in the first place. Gensokyo's boundary works off of perspective – one could travel between two similar barriers (such as between Gensokyo and the Lunar Capital) without ever leaving Gensokyo, but at the same time if they were to ever try to fly to the edges they'd "see" themselves travelling great distances while not actually moving at all, only discovering how little they moved when they turn around.

You could use this easily to craft your own sealed dimensions.

- Enchanted Anvil (Geneforge) (300CP)

A powerful artifact which allows the crafting of enchanted equipment, so long as one has the right materials. Normally they are effectively immovable and thus bound to a specific location, this one is easily moved, as far as large heavy anvils go.

- Nine Elements Cauldron (Desolate Era Part I - The Three Realms) (300CP)

A cauldron that is typically used to melt down treasures for their elemental essence, so that someone can then repurpose them into forging a new treasure that is even stronger than the many that were melted down. Unlike others, however, this one seems to be able to melt down items of any level, and can remember the traits of any treasures it melts down and apply them to other items.

- Wizard's Lab (Dresden Files) (300CP)

More of an add-on than your own separate living space, this can either be built into a Residence you own, or add a trapdoor to your Warehouse and store it underneath. It comes equipped with everything you need for magical experiments short of a stuffed crocodile hanging from the ceiling: A built-in summoning circle, shelf after shelf of weird reagents and knick-knacks, a small library of interesting books about magic and the supernatural, and an actual laboratory for making potions and enchanting objects. It's also been heavily reinforced, so any failures or spills will at worst blacken the floors.

- Temple of Soloman (Fate/Legends - Oasis of Fantasy) (400 CP)

A place that has long been abandoned or, at least, a replica of the one currently in use. The Temple of Solomon is perhaps the grandest magical workshop ever to be created, one so great that it does not even exist in the mundane world. Sealed away in imaginary number space, it is only accessible to others through highly complex and difficult magical workings, though you can enter your hidden base with nothing but a thought provided you are not blocked by some means.

The temple itself is quite large, with the small dimension covering several city blocks of area and the building being the size of a large mansion. Within is almost every one of Solomon's personal notes and research on magecraft and magic, along with a great deal of lore from other famous magicians of his time and from later on as well.

The small dimension has been connected to a replica of Solomon's created magical circuits which empower the framework the workshop sits on, serving to provide a immense magical fuel source for any project you might wish to run within this space as you can freely draw on the amount of energy the King of Magic had while alive when you are in here.

Finally, death in this realm is not permanent and it is far easier to bring back those who die when it is within this place. For your purposes, this means that dying in this temple will not count as an end to your chain. You may import an existing structure into this role.

* Solomon made the entire modern magic framework that allows for magecraft in fate
