 From late 2627 through 2631, Firetown’s [[community_center|Local Community Center]] functioned as the settlement’s administrative heart, public assembly hall, and referendum venue — despite perpetual darkness and sub-20 °C chill. It housed the elected [[contact_person|Contact Person]]’s office, civil-records alcove, and two-week balloting booths. In an heated annex at the rear lays the [[local_gaia_hub|Local GAIA Hub]], a Tier-B “mini-[[gaia|GAIA]]” node providing local data governance, crisis simulation, and permit services.

 ===== Look and Feel =====
-Stepping through the heavy volcanic-stone door into the foyer, visitors find themselves on a stone-flag floor lined with information kiosks, bulletin boards, and proposal drop-slots. Two rugged holo-kiosks with monochrome lightfields stand ready for emergency alerts or basic GAIA queries. Above, electric lanterns hang from copper brackets, casting a warm pool of light that mingles with torch sconces set directly into the stone walls. The air is cool and dry, carrying a faint mineral tang and the soft hiss of nearby steam-fed conduits.
+Stepping through the reinforced container door, visitors enter a compact foyer where stone flagging meets scuffed metal floor plates salvaged from the Last Frontier. Information kiosks, bulletin boards, and proposal drop-slots crowd the walls, layered with notices, stamped permits, and hand-written addenda. Two rugged holo-kiosks glow in stark monochrome, cycling emergency alerts and basic GAIA queries. Overhead, electric lanterns hang from exposed copper brackets and cable runs, their warm light mixing with recessed torch sconces set directly into the stone-and-steel walls. The air is cool but dry, tinged with minerals and machine oil, threaded by the constant, reassuring hiss of steam-fed conduits running behind the panels.
-Beyond the foyer, the assembly hall’s long benches sit beneath the lantern glow. Narrow viewing-slots cut into the thick walls admit only darkness beyond. A pair of holo-indicators by the dais emit a muted green pulse to signal urgent announcements. Clerks move efficiently between desks and offices, their footsteps echoing on the stone flags. Outside, the distant sigh of geothermal vents is barely audible beneath the steady whirr of Guarding Bots patrolling the flagstone plaza.
+Beyond the foyer, the assembly hall opens into a low, rectangular space shaped as much by containers as by stone. Long benches face a raised dais framed with salvaged hull plating and reinforced timber. Narrow horizontal viewing-slots cut high into the walls admit nothing but darkness and drifting steam from the street outside. Near the dais, a pair of holo-indicators pulse a muted green, signaling urgent announcements or incoming civic updates. Clerks move briskly between desks and offices, boots clanging softly on stone and metal flooring, their voices kept low but efficient. Through the walls, the settlement is always present — the distant sigh of geothermal vents, the hum of nearby industry, and the steady whirr of Guarding Bots pacing the plaza outside — a constant reminder that governance here is not abstract, but something that must endure the cold alongside everyone else.
