Smuggler's Bay

Smuggler's Bay Smuggler's Bay is the place where, in the Beta Timeline, it is possible to recover a large number of useful resources for the player. As can be guessed from the name it is a secret outpost of smugglers.

Background
The building was constructed in 2008 following the closure of Pine Lake from the rest of the world. In fact, in the Beta Timeline, due to the advent of the X-09 Plague virus, the island has been reduced to a lifeless place and the now dictator Mr. Crimson is unable to resolve the situation, thus favoring a continuous worsening of the conditions of the island. The island's air becomes corrupted by the ATMO Exchange and there is no longer any trace of nature around Pine Lake. The citizens who have managed to escape the tyranny of Crimson have taken refuge in the sewers of Pine Lake making it their headquarters, unable to have contact with what is outside the island, the Remnant have Smuggler's Bay as their only source of resources. To reach Smuggler's Bay, the Remnant are forced to use a long passage in the sewers that comes out just before the bay. This last section is covered with micro-tunnels to reach the place without being seen from above.

In the game Smuggler's Bay is presented in the quest "Smuggling" in which Edward sends the protagonist to retrieve a magnetometer to repair his Laser so that he can open a sealed door and enter the city through a hidden passage. Michael, the leader of the Remnant, sends Jason to accompany the protagonist through the sewers to reach the cove of smugglers. On the way out they will follow the route through the sewers while on the way back the protagonist will have to take an alternative route through the outskirts of Pine Lake (City 1) due to an accident.

Exterior
The facade has a short bridge that reaches from the ground to the elevated entrance of the building. It is positioned to the right of the train tracks in the place that in the Alpha Timeline would correspond to Jack's Beach. The building is quite tall and has a gloomy color from the metallic gray of the walls to the black of the roof. The rear is less big than it might seem from the front. It is possible to see the division of the building into two cores which are divided by the bridge. The place where the sale takes place is open on one side, projecting onto a large clearing most likely used to land the ships carrying the smugglers' supplies.

Interior
Inside you can see a room made entirely of steel that contains several stacks of boxes with various resources placed on top of them. There is also a kind of sign used in the signage of the skylines of the future, a recharging station for Fusion Cells and a Save station. Finally there are the two sellers: the first, Bernd (the owner of the Scientific Store in the Alpha Timeline), is positioned under a yellowish cloth in front of a box while the second, positioned near a stove and a table, is Hokori Fujiwara (the owner of the hovering restaurant in the Alpha Timeline).
