Location
F.A.T.E. Headquarters is located in the heart of downtown San Fransisco at the corner of Market Street and Hayes Street. This building functions as the headquarters for what remains of the CFS postal service in San Fransisco, a department that has seen heavy cuts in recent years. The department is primarily a package delivery and courier service for those without access to corporation's private services, or wish for something to be out of the hands of their employers but can't or won't hire the anonymous security of a shadowrunning team. With an excess of empty space, but still a high level of traffic in and out at all hours of the day, F.A.T.E. saw an opportunity to turn already government owned property into some better use.
F.A.T.E. HQ is the sole occupant of two of the sublevels of the San Fransisco post office, which are secured from outside access as well as inside access from any of the postal workers. These sublevels are accessed by a special set of elevators and F.A.T.E. members primarily use a special entrance and exit to minimize suspicious activity, F.A.T.E.'s parking garage has a private exit to the street level as well as access into the primary post office garage. The post office building is a circular, dome shaped building with three stories above the surface and three stories below the surface (two of which are run by F.A.T.E.). The building is also connected to a nearby warehouse where a majority of package sorting and delivery dispatching occurs.
Features
F.A.T.E. Control Center
F.A.T.E. requires an extremely high-tech system of computers to operate at maximum efficiency, their control room is the main terminal for the main computer systems that keep F.A.T.E. running. Obviously they are protected by state-of-the-art security measures and certain aspects are completely shut off from the matrix to prevent hacking. Dimitri is in charge of the Control Center, though that comes with little extra responsibility to his main task as the organization Technomancer. Dimitri typically works from inside the control center and communicates with the outside world from there.
F.A.T.E. Supply Closet
F.A.T.E. HQ houses a significant amount of supplies for their agents use including miscellaneous equipment, specific equipment, vehicles, weapons, and more. Visit F.A.T.E. Supply Closet for more info.
F.A.T.E.'s Garage
F.A.T.E. knows that without transportation their agents would be worthless, in order to keep their vehicles running (regardless of what the agents put them through) they have a fully functioning Automotive Facility at their disposal. The F.A.T.E. parking garage and mechanics facility is on the furthest subbasement of HQ and contains all of their many vehicles (except of course the helicopter). Van and Hector are both in charge of the garage and F.A.T.E.'s vehicles. See F.A.T.E. Garage for a listing of F.A.T.E.'s vehicles and their stats.
Medical Facilities
F.A.T.E.'s medical facilities aren't particularly large but they are state-of-the-art and are offered to F.A.T.E. operatives free of charge. (Assuming agents do not abuse this privilege.) Doc runs, maintains, and staffs the medical facilities at F.A.T.E. HQ and is always willing to help with any injuries, especially any suffered on the job. While Doc doesn't always require it, he prefers to be compensated (at a reduced rate) for personal surgeries and procedures requested by members of F.A.T.E.
- F.A.T.E. HQ has a top of the line Medical Facility capable of treating up to 8 patients at once. The Facility provides a 10 die bonus for medical procedures, however the advanced functions of the facility make it so that untrained individuals receive no bonus from the facility.
Dr. Yau's Laboratory
Dr. Kefeng Yau runs an advanced research laboratory in F.A.T.E.'s HQ, where he performs research and experiments that are to his liking and align with what F.A.T.E. asks of him. He greatly enjoys his work there and insists on running a very tight ship and clean lab, though he's been known to run some somewhat destructive experiments inside.
Magical Lodge
F.A.T.E. HQ is home to a small magical lodge that was originally set up by Eric Black and has it's own room near Dr. Yau's laboratory. Recently Gideon Wexler has assisted in a ritual to increase its power, granting him access to the lodge as well, though Eric remains in charge of the lodge if anything arises with its' use.
- F.A.T.E. HQ has a level 8 Magical Lodge. (Eric Black & Gideon Wexler are attuned.)
