==== The Observatory === | |||
The Observatory was located at the end of [[#Hallway - P13|Hallway - P13]], behind an “elegant door of dark wood” ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 9: Hallway - P13|Hallway - P13]]'') locked by a complex mechanism. The room itself was circular, with a dome that looked out into the night sky. Around the room were dozens of monitors built into consoles with buttons, keyboards, levers and toggles. In the middle sat a “technologically-advanced ”recliner chair with joysticks on both armrests and a helmet on the seat, from which a user could control the House's defensive lasers. According to its A.I. guardian [[Ana]], the purpose of the Observatory was principally to observe “both space ''and'' time”.
