  Newport City is south of Founders' Falls, and is home to biotech company Gentech which is owned by David Prescott. David is a mutant, and is able to use his mind to help or harm others. He began his company to research the mutant gene and seek to help those that are born as he was. While the city itself is home to a normal population, Prescott leads a group of mutants that primarily headquarter below the city. Several group assets are accessible via several locations in the city. (Note: there is nowhere you can enter that you can get "stuck" - there is always at least one way out of somewhere you enter. I was limited by intra-base teleport points). Highlights of the city are: Mansion Row to the south and east, Lola's Cocktails and Rays to the west, city hall to the southwest, Gentech HQ and Laboratory to the southwest, Prescott Manor to the northeast. There are lots of retail, restaurant, and commercial spaces as well. Enjoy your explorations!

• Your character name: (Red Star Holder) Ronin Raider

• Your Global handle: @Matsiyan

• Are you the owner? No

• Are you the builder? Yes (Matsiyan-Qal)

• Your base’s name: Ronin's Raiders

• The shard it is located on: Excelsior

• The passcode for entry: RAIDERS-30984

•  The category your base is entering under: Novice

• Contributing builders’ names or Global handles: Just me based off an idea by @Finkill (the base owner) and a suggestion from @Dacy. They both agreed it was OK to enter the base.

• Any additional information you wish the judges to know beforehand: An interdimensional pocket space was created by the outpourings of energy from the Well of the Furies. It expanded in nothingness until the the psychic impressions carried through the ongoing link crystallized into key concepts. The monumental interlinked nature of the universe is expressed in frozen representations of some of the major forces, The Ronin Raider discovered this through a portal mishap and began using it as a rest and regrouping area for his team's forays. A secret shared, as they say, led to a tech conglomerate starting to explore the space. A colleague of Argot'BurWot  heard of this and sent a Rikti scientific vessel to investigate. They quickly called in Vanguard, who now maintain a rapid reaction portal with logistics and training consultants on hand. In exchange the consortium agreed to develop the site sensitively without defacing the existing archeological remains. Wary of the advanced Forerunner technology, the consortium have added their own functional facilities. Come and see the primordial remains and try not to notice the expanding technology base 'sensitively' built around them.
