Automaton Lab

* Factory
* Lab

The Automaton Lab is a hand-crafted base of operations created by Dr. Aurghnamm with advanced technology. He used it as his workshop and factory, planning his conquests. The lab was ultimately destroyed by the Heralds of Retha in an attempt to defeat the Voodoo Master.

## Location

This base is located on the continent of Abulon, specifically on the southern east portion. It is built into a group of mountains, close to the residence of the Magma Dwellers. There is a big rock in front of the entrance to the lab, preventing any regular individual from entering.

## History

After Dr. Aurghnamm arrived from the future he decided to build a new place where he could develop his automatons. Using a fortune from selling old automatons he bought materials and began building a fortified laboratory. He build the upper factory first and secretly created the true base underneath.

At one point the factory was secretly explored by the Heralds of Retha. The heroes would later return and infiltrate the lower levels in an attempt to find and defeat Zashrir the Voodoo Master. After convincing Aurghnamm to not conquer Senothia, he allied himself with the heroes to defeat his former associate. After several weeks of fighting and infiltration, the Heralds told Aurghnamm to self-destruct the base. The lab was destroyed beyond repair, along with Aurghnamm's fortune and any remaining work.

## Landscape

The lab is very technological and well-built. There is only one entrance/exit to optimize security, along with various cameras on the lower lab. This results in high isolation from the outside world. The base also has a ventilation system to provide oxygen which can also be physically traversed.

## Notable Locations

This base has a variety of hallways and rooms, each with specific purposes. Some rooms are even locked and can only be opened with special keys.

* **CME Extraction Room-** This room has the singular purpose of storing magical creatures and the devices used to drain their magic for CME.
* **CME Storage Room-** After the CME is drained from a magical creature it gets sent to this room. There are huge CME storage tanks that store the valuable automaton fuel.
* **Automaton Vault-** Over the course of his time in the lab Dr. Aurghnamm had created many automatons. Most remain inactive until further notice within this storage space.
* **Oxygen Facility-** This space contains a big tree with several vents around it and a lever to supervise the oxygen level. Without this room the entire lab wouldn't have oxygen.
* **Surveillance Room-** As there are several cameras around the base, there has to be a place to use them. This room surveils the base using said cameras as a form of security.
* **Telescope Chamber-** This special space is used to contain a telescope which can poke out of the base to view the Outer-Air. Aurghnamm used it to supervise the drainage of the fallen star.
* **Hangar-** Possibly the biggest facility in the base, this is where the colossal Prototype Drago was stored.
* **Zashrir's Lair-** This was Aurghnamm's key room of operations until Zashrir began to take over his base. The voodoo master took over this room and enchanted it with defenses and challenges for when the Heralds of Retha eventually found him.
* **Aurghnamm's Office-** This room was the doctor's makeshift office after Zashrir took over his previous workspace.
