The larger portion of this space is made up of "barns" for animals which include cages, pens and reinforced containment areas. Some animal-care equipment remains, as well as numerous curious brown stains, but no creatures are currently in residence. A veterinary facility is also on site.
The nursery's laboratory facilities contain long-neglected (and nonfunctional) equipment for genetic engineering. One particular lab, small and tucked away, seems to be the remnants of a hatchery. No eggs shards remain, but the incubators could house eggs as large as ostriches'.
Bartering Block
The outer ring of this area contains numerous stalls and storefronts where trade once took place. Instead of sencs, individuals apparently came to barter for items or services offered by vendors. Other locations are more likely to have a particular concentration of items left behind, but the trading economy that once existed means visitors may find an unpredictable mishmash of objects.
At the north end is an engineering space where Saylent Blue nutrition blocks were processed and distributed. An enormous stockpile of them remains there. Yummy!
The interior of the block contains a large number of storage units. Originally for use by the vendors, many now hold personal items removed from the residential spaces by the taskbots, resulting in a hoard of disorganized junk. Locked units may contain more useful items, but the locks vary in type and technology: key, combination, bio-signature and "weird-looking" locks can be found on different units.
Gymnasium and Rec Area
Repurposed from what was clearly once an empty lab, this large space contains a variety of exercise equipment and other therapeutic items designed to facilitate physical health. Much of the equipment appears to have been jury-rigged from technology and materials originally meant for other uses. Additionally, some of it was designed for non-humanoid bodies. Next to the equipment area is an open hall designed for free activity. A plain track runs around the perimeter.
Hall of Music
Another former science lab, this wing contains storage for a variety of musical instruments from various planets—not all of which can be played by humanoid beings.
Smaller soundproofed rooms provide a practice space for those who wish to hone their skills, or to avoid being overheard. The wing also contains a medium-sized performance space and theatre.
Ingress Memorial
Built around a fragment of the former transit platform of the Ingress, this room has been redesigned to resemble a chapel or meditation space. Smaller pieces of Ingress technology, displaced by the explosion, have been gathered, cleaned and arranged in a semi-circle at the front of the room. Instead of rows of pews, comfortable seating is placed in an opposite semi-circle across from the pieces, leaving an oval space in between.
Those who visit the memorial may find a strange sense of warmth after a while, a faint presence that may offer the sensation of comfort before it departs as invisibly as it arrived. As of January 2018 (OOCly), another effect can be more clearly seen: a torch-like flicker of silver energy oscillating atop the central fragment. While it no longer provides clear visions, it has a hypnotic effect, entrancing anyone who stares at the light for long.
Ingress Shrines
Similar to the Ingress memorial, several smaller fragments of the Ingress have been installed as landmarks throughout Avagi. They resemble tiny shrines.
Currently, three shrines can be found: in the Library, in front of the Hall of Music and in the Observation Station.
Laboratories and Workshops
This is the largest individual space within the accessible area of Avagi, along with the residential sectors. Numerous scientific labs and large workspaces can be found and used by anyone who wants to set up shop. Some tools and equipment remain in several of the spaces, most of which will be in working condition. However, the majority of workspaces are conspicuously empty, as if the residents prioritized these tools to take when they departed.
Library
The physical books in the stacks here make up a curious variety of types and topics. History books, folklore of alien planets and scientific textbooks can be found, but so can a large number of trashy romance novels and thrillers. Some appear to be hand-bound.
A larger number of tomes can be found in the form of a digital archive, accessible via the large computer lab that contains both desktop computers and tablet units with holographic projectors, neatly stacked and stored.
The computer lab is initially offline and must be re-wired due to an infestation that damaged the lab's power connection as well as some units.
Medical Wing and Cryo Station
This area of Avagi contains offices for standard visits to a doctor and a hospital area for more serious issues. A variety of medical equipment is on hand, including autodiagnostic tools and surgical assistants, but some of it is in disrepair, and absolutely none of it comes with instructions of any kind. A limited supply of medications is locked away in the wing's pharmacy.
The third, smaller section is the cryo wing, where grievously injured people may recover in pods filled with a breathable liquid. Automated programming for the units is hard-coded into them, making it difficult to fail to operate them even without instructions.

Observation Station
Once the largest conference room on the Ingress Complex, this space now appears to be open to the elements of space. Instead of a glass ceiling overhead, it is a permanent but transparent force field that protects occupants from the storms of negative energy outside while offering them a clear view of the same.
Sensors, measuring equipment and other technical items are embedded in one wall of the station. The rest of the room contains a long table and chairs for those who want to convene around it, as well as a few other, more comfortable seats. The doorway to the observation station is heavy and reinforced with the metal alloy used to construct much of Avagi, as a safeguard against potential failure of the force field.
Residential Sectors
Retrofitted from both housing units and the workspaces at hand, these maze-like hallways are dotted with the front doors of a variety of apartments and living spaces.
The front door of each unit is secured with a bio-signature lock. When properly functioning, the design allows residents to touch a flat panel, the lock will recognize them and allow entry. Currently, the locking system is offline due to lack of use. While the units' interiors show considerable wear-and-tear, a majority of personal items have been cleared from the space. All units hooked up to special ventilation systems designed to simulate fresh air, but this system is currently non-functional due to lack of maintenance.
Fronted by a room packed to the brim with technical equipment, this engineering station is merely an interface for the infrastructure that serves as the guts of the entire complex. Others exist within Avagi, but this is the only one in the currently accessible area. It isn't an exciting space, but it is extremely vital to continuing life.
Half of this arboreal dome contains a large greenhouse and garden, where plants and farm crops are grown using a variety of methods—from traditional to hydroponics and hanging racks. An artificial stream runs through the greenhouse and leads to the 'outdoor' section—a large green meadow designed to be a park space and quiet area for relaxation. The grass is bio-engineered to form a large component of the Saylent Blue nutrition blocks.
Cultivation and harvesting has been carried out by low-level taskbots specialized for the job. However, their ineptitude has resulted in a mostly-organic takeover. The Greenery currently houses a variety of foods, poisons, and decorative plants though the former aren't so numerous as to be more than supplemental food for now.
It's a bar, in space. It's a space bar. Low but not-too-dark lighting, a polished steel bar and numerous tables and booths make this as comfortable and welcoming a bar as could be found on any planet.
Behind the bar itself is an incredible array of bottles, many of which are blown glass in complicated, artistic shapes. Nearly all of them still contain some liquid; a bottle may have just the dregs or be nearly full. Beneath the bar are steins, tumblers, shot glasses and other containers.
Tragically, most of the alcohol has gone bad due to age. Thirsty visitors may find they've poured themselves a fine spirit…or a glass of vinegar.
