{Agora- Cherry Lounge} The Agora was curved so seeing end to end wasn't possible, it made for a cool trick enlarging the idea of the space while truthfully it was narrow. Recessed alcoves and flush storefront capitalized on every bit of space available to slope backwards. Benches and open green spaces dotted the bottom level, while four floors of shopping arrayed both sides of the metal canyon. The "ground floor" took on a new meaning for the crew as they enjoyed the grass and dirt. There was a small Vivarium and coursing river through it, which emptied into a small lake in a shared basin with the amphitheater. Among other overlooks, there was a lounge which overlooked the aptly named "Cherry" Lake. The lake was perfectly round, with a small run off to the water filters comprising the "stem of the cherry" for its shape on the Agora Diagram. On the map, the shape was like a crescent moon with the middle of the arc having a larger circular facet. The aft half of the Agora had a downhill slope into the business end of the ship and Engineering Hull. The gouge had been at its worst here, when it ripped out the installed impulse engine. This direction was being regarded as "Downhill", whereas the uphill direction which had branches to the Bridge, School, Habitat levels was now "uphill", despite it being perfectly level with the rest of the ship.
