Scene 3
THe Environment: The Argaeus Tower
The Argaeus Tower, named for a towering volcano
in Cappadocia (now central Turkey), is a skyscraper
in the city of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
It’s quite a modern steel-and-glass design, well
over 70 stories tall, complete with a landing pad on
top for helicopters; Biomancer’s and the heroes’
vertical take-off/landing aircraft can both easily
land on the roof. An elevator platform to the side
of the landing pad awaits, not budging until all
heroes are on it.
Once inside, the platform lowers into the “stage”
of a steep-stepped reproduction of an ancient
Greek theater, populated by clones of themselves!
