Deep beneath the bustling streets and neighborhoods of New Orange City lies the enigmatic Dick Hallorann Mega Complex, an underground chamber shrouded in mystery and uncertainty. Stretching from Haverhill in the north to the Netherland region in the south, this vast complex has become a source of intrigue and trepidation among the city's denizens.

Structural Overview

The complex, with an average floor-to-ceiling distance of 65 meters, is segmented into five distinct chambers, each revealing facets of its mystifying purpose. The first chamber houses colossal water filtration and sanitation systems, vital for sustaining the city's hygiene and potable water supply. The second chamber, seemingly empty, holds strategic stairways linking it to Submerciful and the Omegaloop rail line.

In the third chamber, an eerie spectacle unfolds— a massive pool of luminous green sludge, collecting waste from, presumably, the city's industrial sectors. This sludge undergoes a cryptic cleaning process, its final destination remaining unknown. The fourth chamber, mostly vacant, features 20 towering pillars supporting the city above. Lava courses along its walls, mysteriously pumped to undisclosed locations, and a long stairway ascends to Dukeside District. Glass floors above offer glimpses into the subterranean realm of Neo-Lusus.

The fifth chamber, a stark contrast with bright white walls and vividly colored mosaics, stands as an anomaly. With a large spiral staircase at its center, facilitating foot traffic from Meijin Hills, and hosting the second Omegaloop train station, this chamber baffles the city's inhabitants.

Intended Use or Mystical Remnant?

The purpose of much of the Dick Hallorann Mega Complex remains elusive. The mosaics, the channeled lava, the train stations serving vast empty spaces— all contribute to a perplexing enigma. Citizens, scholars, and city workers alike grapple with the complex's inexplicable elements, raising questions about its intended function. The complex's origin story is equally enigmatic; many city scholars speculate that the fifth chamber in particular could be a last surviving remnant of the ancient city of Calantha, preserved through millennia.

Preservation or Ominous Presence

Maintained by diligent city workers, the Dick Hallorann Mega Complex holds an eerie allure, evoking a blend of curiosity and unease. Its origin story, intertwined with the city's deepest history, remains shrouded in the depths of time. As citizens navigate their lives above, the complex below stands as a silent testament to the city's obscured past, whispering tales of an ancient legacy preserved beneath the bustling metropolis of New Orange City.
