The entire character of a base and its inhabitants can be absorbed in a quick trip to the Rec Commons. The sweaty arenas of Fort Legion, the glittering gambling halls of Morgan Bank, the sunny lovers' trysts in Gaia's High Garden, or the somber reading rooms of U.N. Headquarters. Even the feeding bay at the Hive gives stark insight into the sleeping demons of Yang's communal utopia.

I like being at SFU: I like the glass-and-concrete buildings that, conjoin into a complex with scores of nooks and gardens. I love being in the cafeteria: all those people sitting and eating or reading or whatever, it's like being surrounded by life.
