Overview
[edit]The Arte-Nakatomi International Research Center (commonly abbreviated to ANIRC) is the primary research laboratory and essential headquarters to the company as a whole. Located near the city of Vladivostok, in Primorsky Krai, Russia, the ANIRC sees some of the heaviest traffic for company employees. A majority of research projects took place in the labs below.
The building itself is modest above-ground. It's a small gathering of office-style buildings surrounding a central park area. However, it's not just that above ground. Most of the above-ground sector is Affairs property, and is the front for investors. Below this gathering is the actual center itself, a massive construction extending miles into the ground, utilizing a natural cave to avoid so much excavation.
While most of the center below is various laboratories, offices, and living quarters, there is an extremely special sector. The Lynx Sector, which houses one of the most infamous projects of ANRC: the Black Hole Reactor (BHR). The company outputs roughly 20 gigawatts per hour of usable energy, which mostly powers the local city of Vladivostok and some other more distant villages within Primorsky Krai. The BHR is primarily managed by the ANRC sub-company AN-Flir Energy Corporation (ANFEC).
The ANIRC is also known to hold the central core to the EXPOSURE Construct, an AI developed by the Research Department that is utilized primarily for database searches or general advice.
Nearby, one can also find the Arte-Nakatomi International Archives Center (ANIAC), managed by the Archives Department.
