You'd think we left behind the need for walls and turrets on Earth, but Aegis is nothing if not prepaired, and they'd have to be to go and slap their base in the middle of the jungle. Let me tell you, there are things that go bump in the night out there, and you'll be thanking them for building those walls soon enough, unless you get caught on the wrong side of them come sundown.
As for the facility itself, the central area hosts a courtyard where you can buy all manner of gear on company credit, and a mess hall, which also, you guessed it, sells food on company credits, but it's actual food, not a mess of protein stuck in a tube. The outer arms of the building are divided into three sections, Research and Development, XenoStudies, and Logistics, but unless your one of the people on the up and up, most of us will never see the inside of those labs. Surrounding the facility are all manner of support buildings, from sewage treatment to water reclamation, and the buildings further out are the factories that churn out all manner of things. Guns, drones, rovers, you name it.
And where do we live? Well you see those buildings stuck into the cliffs up there? That's us. Three to a room, but it's better than anything we ever had on Earth, and the view in the morning is worth getting up for. Welcome to the promised land.
