The Docks

Commonly called “Crystal Tides” by the locals for both the waves and the glass and steel buildings, the docks are an expansive series of floating platforms, connected by suspended walkways, stretching over the sparkling azure waters of the Pacific Ocean. The ambient hum of electric generators intermingles with the rhythmic sound of waves lapping against the metal structures. Harsh fluorescent lights bathe the area in a cool, sterile glow, reflecting off the chrome-plated rails and glass windows of the high-tech vessels docked nearby. This area was a benchmark for San Diablo as it was Nevada’s first docking area for ships, and was an early port of jobs and supplies.
It is still used by cruise ships companies as a port of call, as well as for shipping and industry. It is also not uncommon to see the opulent yachts owned by the rich and famous of the city.
There are several places to eat or drink along the Tides, ranging from The Blue Lobster Club, a high end seafood restaurant and The Indy, your classic dive bar. 
The Blue Lobster is reservation only, and only the highest in stature are granted the finest tables. Nestled within the Crystal Tides, The Blue Lobster is adorned with elegant seashell motifs and shimmering mosaics depicting underwater scenes. The gentle sound of crashing waves serves as a soothing backdrop to the soft melodies of a grand piano emanating from within. The air is perfumed with the delicate scent of sea salt and tropical flowers, transporting patrons to a tranquil oasis far from the bustling city beyond. Inside, a sweeping panoramic view of the ocean stretches before the customers, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that allow sunlight to bathe the room in a warm golden glow. At the center of the lounge, a striking chandelier crafted from intricately carved coral illuminates the space, casting a mesmerizing dance of shadows on the polished marble floor. At the bar area, it is not uncommon to see a tuxedo-clad bartender deftly mix colorful libations while regaling a captivated audience with tales of mythical sea creatures and lost treasures.
Meanwhile, The Indy is a rustic coastal dive bar perched on the weathered original docks of San Diablo. It is found among the maze of  shipping containers painted in vibrant, graffiti-like murals depicting futuristic cityscapes. Neon drink signs flicker and buzz, illuminating the cramped space with a kaleidoscope of electric colors that dance across the corrugated metal walls. The distant hum of machinery and crashing waves fills the air, mingling with the scent of briny sea spray and sizzling street food from a nearby food cart. A battered arcade machine, its screen cracked but still glowing, lures patrons with promises of nostalgic entertainment as a haggard yet charming bartender leans against the counter, polishing a tarnished set of steel mugs with a resolute determination.It is not uncommon to see a fight break out at The Indy for reasons of politics or two guys just wanting to beat each other because it is a Thursday.
The Docking Bay is a covered area of the Tides for ships being held in storage. Many of these boats are used by vacationers or the adventurous type looking to live a life on the high seas for a brief period of time. This area is managed by a team to insure that these boats are ready at a moments notice. Because of this, The Docking Bay is a very expensive portion of the Tides, and is fiercely guarded.
