Carmine Hideout

The Carmine Hideout is an isolated structure in the vicinity of Homestead Carmine that serves as a hideout for the Scarlet Suns. Previously occupied by methamphetamine addicts, it was cleared out by the local militia and given to the Suns for their help in defending the town during the Battle of Homestead Carmine after their temporary exodus from Jade City.
==History==
The building was constructed sometime in the 2600s with the rise of Homestead Carmine; however, the building's location on its outskirts lent it significant isolation from the rest of the community. Its original owners, a family of water collectors, were rooted out from their home following a dispute with a local loan shark; it fell into disrepair as its new "owners" left the building to rot.
By 2698, the building had fallen into the hands of drifting drug addicts ousted from the local community. However, following the Battle of Homestead Carmine, the building was given to the Scarlet Suns as payment for their help, with the addicts being evicted in the process. The Suns would stay in the hideout for two more weeks following their exit from the Eastern Albion Megasprawl as a result of the Harborne Civil War before eventually returning to Jade City. 
Even so, the building is still Suns property, and sees usage by members travelling across the Great Sand Bowl or evading pursuit by those within Hyperion's megasprawls.
==Overview==
The Carmine Hideout is an irregular, four-story concrete story structure, with makeshift patios and walkways composed of metal and wood. It overlooks the wide Great Sand Bowl due to its position on top of a small cliff, and is only accessible either by the roof (through hovercraft) or a shoddy walkway that scales up the cliff face. Located half a kilometer from the rest of Homestead Carmine, it is quite isolated.
During the Scarlet Suns' stay in the structure, most of its rooms were divided as bedrooms for individual members - however, certain members shared rooms, such as Mohe and Octavia or friends Rinji and Lamarcus. After the eviction of the junkies that inhabited it, most of the interior had been left relatively barren. It eventually had InfoScape access installed, in addition to a makeshift outdoor garage for Rinji's hoverbike. Furniture was slowly acquired over their stay until they were given the green light to return to Jade City by Edward. After this, the hideout was sparingly used, but eventually saw permanent habitation by the revenant James Christovam who saw its remoteness as useful. The hideout is also home to one of the gang's shared pets, an attack dog by the name Cade.
==Trivia==
*Mahendra Adhya, an unorthodox friend of Renée, briefly called the building home after his escape from Tellus. However, he later moved to Province City in Chasten, seeing life in the hideout as difficult.
