Aerial Platform 9

Despite the name, it's less about the fact that it's a SIVIC mobile base, ninth of its ilk, and more that someone had the bright idea of putting it on a slab of mountain that was already floating in the air. There aren't a whole lot of such things on this planet that aren't specifically triggered by some kind of unnatural event. This one definitely was, but we really have no idea why it's still floating.
  It's generally thought to be a fragment of Aloumetri Peak, a fact backed up by the fact that AP9's measurements fit pretty precisely into a spot found on the side of the mountain. It's not a huge gouge or anything so it could just be coincidence, and since both pieces get more worn by the year and we can't exactly push them back together it's hard to tell.
  Despite it being from a mountain that periodically goes up and down, that doesn't do nearly as much as you'd think to explain why it's still floating around. Does explain the randomness, though.
  AP9 has a tendency to change its own rules. The path that it takes to float is usually at the same relatively slow pace, at least, so flight paths can be easily planned around it. However, that path is extremely changeable and shifts according to no external force that we can find.
  And that's without getting into the mess that is the rotational changes. Sometimes it just changes the direction that it's vertically oriented. Sometimes it starts spinning around an axis that changes every time it starts spinning again. The agents who live there are constantly forced to readjust how they navigate the surface of this rather large rock.
