The Warehouse District
Commonly referred to as The Hive, a complex of interlocking buildings, stretches towards the southern part of the city, its exterior was once covered in a mesmerizing display of holographic advertisements and pulsating LED lights. As technology has changed, the advertisements have faded, and burned out. The air carries a metallic tang, tinged with a hint of ozone, as hovering drones zip through the narrow alleyways. A constant symphony of whirring gears and electric hums fills the district, emanating from the network of automated assembly lines that weave throughout the buildings like a labyrinthine web. In the heart of The Hive, a towering sculpture of intricately interlocking metallic gears serves as a monument to innovation, its gargantuan cogs rotating with a mesmerizing precision.
The largest building still in operation is The Assembly Floor. It is a vast expanse of polished concrete, dotted with rows of towering machinery that buzz and hum with rhythmic precision. The airĀ in the building is consistently heavy with the scent of lubricants and ozone, creating an unmistakable industrial smell. A network of metal catwalks crisscrosses above, offering a bird's-eye view of the elaborate automation below. The sight of mechanical arms deftly assembling intricate components with uncanny speed and efficiency captivates the eye, while the clinking and whirring of the machinery creates a symphony of mechanical music.
While The Hive was once the home to most of the jobs in San Diablo, automation and technology has made this portion of the city slightly obsolete. As this area is not as well enforced by the police, it has become an area where some of the less savory people of the city call home. It is not uncommon to find squatters or gangs hidden amongst the buildings.
