Internet and the web

So there's this building-wide web that's been built that's been made specifically for the building's inhabitants. Y'know, just for secrecy's sake. Also, it's still possible to browse the web outside of the building's, but it's incognito. Also for secrecy's sake. All this stuff was built by Tekka.

Pain Chips

The pain chip is a physical device that's inserted in a robot to simulate feelings of pain when a certain area of a robot's body is interacted with in a way that would usually inflict pain on an organic life form. Unlike effect chips, like FGCs, its use is not temporary and will only stop being effective once removed. It was built by Sarlife.

"Feel-Good" Chips (FGCs)

 Feel-good chips (FGCs) are an effect chip that is the equivalent to alcoholic beverages for robots. It works very much like a relaxant. Its use is temporary and will usually stop its effects once it runs out of energy or when it's removed from the robot's system. They were built by Sarlife.

The Music Rooms

A collection of rooms where all the musical instruments are stored and music is recorded. The instruments are usually either donated from original holders or scavenged from dumps. So that there's plenty, some of the instruments are cloned, as well.

The MIDI bots live in rooms close by here and sometimes play live in the recording studio to broadcast across the building. People who aren't MIDI bots are also free to broadcast their own music if they want, too.

About anyone, machine and organism alike, are allowed to casually spend their time here, too. The walls are totally soundproof, so they can play music at any time of the day, as loud and for as long as they want.

Robot Dream Viewer

A device built by Sarlife where you can view the images that come up in a robot's head while they're charging. Basically you can view a robot's dreams when you plug a audio-visual headset into a robot. Yeah, robots can dream in this universe.

Reality Viewer Room

The small room-sized machine where you can view alternate realities through texts and illustrations made from the auto-illustrator. Built by Sarlife.

Does the building have a name?

Well, no, not really. Although, the region that the building is in is called "Proclia". So, I guess that's why some dwellers l...
