The Aerie

Team Inertia Headquarters

Team Inertia Headquarters is a state-of-the-art facility hidden within the upper floors of Sterling Tower, occupying a secured level known internally as "The Aerie." Designed by Maxwell Sterling himself, the headquarters blends high-tech functionality with corporate elegance, ensuring that New Albion’s premier superhero team operates with discretion, efficiency, and access to cutting-edge resources.  

Security & Accessibility

Entry to The Aerie is tightly controlled—biometric scans, encrypted access codes, and AI-driven security systems ensure that only authorized personnel can enter. In the event of a crisis, the headquarters can go into lockdown mode, sealing off access and rerouting power to emergency systems.

Design

Mission Control: A circular, glass-walled command center serves as the heart of the headquarters. An interactive holo-table dominates the room, projecting city maps, live surveillance feeds, and mission briefings in real-time. Multiple workstations ring the chamber, allowing Milton to coordinate intelligence while Inertia and Inspector monitor city events.   Briefing Room: A sleek, private conference space with reinforced walls, a digital smartboard, and ergonomic seating for strategic discussions. Live feeds from security agencies and news outlets provide constant situational awareness.   Training & Simulation Room: A modular combat training space equipped with hard-light projectors and gravity-adjusting floors, allowing for realistic sparring against simulated enemies. This area can be tuned to replicate urban settings, wilderness, or even zero-G environments.   Personal Quarters: Each team member has a small but well-appointed private suite, soundproofed for privacy and comfort. Inertia’s quarters include a discharge station for built up kinetic power while Marcus’s contains a miniature crime lab for forensic analysis. Milton’s room features soundproof meditation spaces to help him manage his telepathic input.   Armory & Equipment Bay: A secured vault holding specialized gear, vehicles, and utility equipment. This includes stealth drones, tactical exosuits, and emergency teleportation beacons. Inertia’s custom-built bike is stored here when not in use.   The Vault: A hidden, bio-locked panic room designed to withstand extreme force, hacking attempts, and even high-yield explosive impacts. Only Maxwell Sterling and designated team members can access it.
