Touchdown News (4 sub-boards) There's nothing like peeling open a fresh newspaper in the morning, but these are different. A flat metal stick with a slide-out screen. Simply swipe your card along the groove on the side, and get the newest edition. And for those of you with special clearance, you can find out what's going on illegally.

E.T Investigators What better entertainment than the tabloids? Here in this magazine you can read about various factions, gossip, and fantasies. Many falsifications. However, in here you can see the truth behind Touchdown, though many write down the many stories of alien experiments as more media fiction.

The Inner City
The Businesses [ Shops and Sellers] (3 sub-boards) Hawkers , street vendors, and residents with money to waste usually find their way to these places. Made up of the small ma-and-pop shops, and the giant corporate chain Touchdown's businesses are of all kinds. Neon signs dominate windows. Advertising billboards--and cyborgs--float down the street, begging to have you throw their money at them.
You can find the grocers, the pet stores, and the mall here--people still need to waste hard-earned money after all.
The Law [ They run the show} (4 sub-boards) Do you know what a word without laws and governemnt is? Chaos. The need for order is what foundates these buildings.
Scattered about the town these locales, ugly squat outdated things,help maintain order. Heavy glass windows sit behind large pillars. Workers constantly buzz in and out like worker bees, each going about 'important' business. Fences rope off well maintained landscape from the masses.
What will you find in these intimidating buildings? Hospitals, the council office, schools, police stations, and the library. Each one , though ugly outside, is brimming with the latest technology.
All brought to you by your very own tax dollars.

The Homes and Hotels (2 sub-boards) From the cardboard box, to the high-rise penthouse, everyone needs somewhere to live. Much like today they vary, from the solar powered of the normal home to the hydro- bubbles of the Choroid. Your character comes in here to apply for housing. If you happen to have a tourist-character, they are also allowed to apply for a hotel room.
The Food (4 sub-boards) From the ritzy to the greasy, the uptown to the underground. From the crunch of crisp fresh lettuce, to the tangy taste of exotic fruit from another planet.
Take a break at the pizza parlor, chat it up. Dress up andd show off at Dimaggio's high-end diner. Race through the drive-thru at the 22nd centuries Mcdonalds. Stop and stock your own fridge with fresh groceries from the nearby food-store.
Fill that belly and that open mouth. Time to dine.
The Fun (8 sub-boards) Bored? Have worries to wash away?
Allow the bright lights, slot machines, and fast paced action to sweep you away.
From the chink of casino slot machines, to the laughter of skating children, and the sounds of bodies thumping together on the dance floor.
Be cautious dears. The drunks that often emerge from this sector of town--the aliens for the most part--usually find themselves in very bad situations. THe least of which is a simple purse--or bag snatching.
But who am I to tell you that? This stuff is here for a reason! Have a ball--or a holo-ball!
SPECIAL ZONES [ ENVIRONMENTS] (2 sub-boards) Have you ever wanted to walk on the ocean floor? Traipse through the rain forest? How about navigate your way through an ancient cave system?
Welcome to the S-Zone. Four platforms connect to the main satellite city, and contained in each is a different faux environment. Two of them are real, and the other two are virtual reality tours of other planets.
If you're an alien far from home, or just a curious earthling, feel free to take a harmless walk on the wild side.
Occasionally the V-Reality systems break down, leaving you stranded in the wild zones, where you eventual are purged from the system. The purging often ends in death.
These zones are the main reasons most aliens stop here instead of taking the cheaper trip to earth. Why actually go to third world countries when you can pretend to do so ?

Other Sights (4 sub-boards) The school, the port, the dock, the hangar, the shore
The Lab A large trap door in the basement of the government buildings opens to this place. Large walls of steel, and blinding white stretch out for miles in front of you. Large rooms sit like juicy little flys in the middle of the webbing. Surgical tables line the walls, as do cell like doors.
Occasionally the screams of a victim can be heard.
Workers are constantly seen buzzing back and forth--holding weapons, and covered in all manner of gore.

The Dark Alleyways [ Criminal Underworld] (3 sub-boards) The giant network of long abandoned sewer tunnels, serves as the headquarters for all types of underground activities. The poor Touchdown does not want tourists to see are shackled under here as well.
The sewers are clean, and through many years of smuggling, resemble sidewalks. Large hologen lights constantly bzuzz above, and dank tunnels branch off.
Welcome to the real city life--and your worst nightmare.
How do you get down here? Blindfolded. Or if you happen to already be a member, you can easily enter through all the backlot doors. All the casino basements, and of course the drug clubs.
