This Sanctuary is the largest, and most heavily fortified Sanctuary on the planet. Home to literally thousands of different abnormal species, it has stood as a beacon of hope to all abnormals since 1955. A normal day usually is quiet, but every now and then there is excitement. Sometimes a black market ring needs to be busted up to prevent innocent abnormals, or their body parts from being sold, usually something Kate Freelander brings up and tracks down.
Other times a new abnormal is brought in, and every now and then Sanctuary teams must go out into the field to recover an abnormal, or capture one so it does not harm humans.
The Sanctuary itself is comprised of seven floors, plus a basement, each with a unique layout. The ground floor consists of the main entry points, as well as a back entry point for bringing in larger abnormals, or more difficult ones. It also houses most of the main technical center, and control nexus of the Sanctuary, which is towards the central point. There are numerous offices as well, and a number of bedrooms for either guests, or residents. These bedrooms of course are present on all floors, though the seventh floor is reserved only for Sanctuary staff. It is also home to the Mermaid Tank.
The second floor is home to the bulk of the medical facilities, research labs and mechanical robotics labs. It is also sealable, meaning that in the event of a biological containment breach, such as a disease, the entire floor can be completely vacuum sealed away from the others, ensuring containment is not broken, and no one outside of that floor is in any danger.
The third floor is home to a back up lab, which can be used to digitally research all activities from the second floor, to help find a cure for those trapped if it ever came to that. It is also home to much of the redundant backups the Sanctuary has, and thus has very few people on it at any given time.
The fourth floor is home to the primary resident chambers. This is where most who live at the Sanctuary call home, and as such the entire floor is dedicated to living arrangements.
The fifth floor is home to both storage of goods, and secondary resident rooms, in the event they are needed. Usually this is only used for storage, but every now and then there has been need to open up these backup rooms for guests, or refugees who won't be permanently staying.
The sixth floor is mostly used for automated generators, which kick in if the power goes out. This is also where the main security systems are located, particularly the generator for the E.M shield. Due to it's size, the generator for the shield literally takes up half the floor itself.
The seventh floor is home to the Shoe. The shoe is a menagarie for all dangerous abnormals, those that harm humans because they choose to, or because they know no other way. For example, a few species, such as the Snilkara, are large creatures that literally eat humans as food, or any meat they can. As such, they are too dangerous to be allowed to roam free, and must have special containment. Another type of creature resembles a Plant Girl, who, while not exactly dangerous, seems to garner at least some of her sustenance by having sex with other abnormals. To that effect, she has evolved with a potent pollen that influences most abnormal species into desiring her, ignoring what she truly is. The pollen influences both Male, and Female, and the plant girl has suitable methods for pleasuring both. As far as anyone knows, her species is exceptionally rare, and has never killed another living being. However, to have her running loose would be problematic considering her inability to control her own urges, or stop her pollen from being released. In addition, her species has been hunted for years now due to the powerful drug like effects of their pollen. Some have sought them out, with protective gear on, simply to harvest their pollen to be used in creating one of the most powerful, and undetectable rape drugs on the planet.
The basement is home to backup medical facilities, as well as the old steam heating duct system, which runs through the entire building, and hasn't been used since 1977. It also connects to the Catacombs that run beneath the Sanctuary, into various parts of Calgary. These catacombs are documented by Sanctuary people, but are not present on any map you'd find at a store, or online, as the entry points were hidden well when Helen Magnus first scouted the area, looking to build a Sanctuary here. The Catacombs in actuality may have been constructed at one point by the Sanguine Vampirus, and as such were hidden in such a way that only those who knew them extremely well, or one of their own, could find them.
((Everyone will start inside the Sanctuary who is already a part, or, if you are about to arrive, this is where you will post by knocking on one of the main entry points.))
