A form of outreach focusing on people from all different cultures living all around Earth in the habitats to learn to work together and come to a consensus. Members of the LCO, Liaison Community Outreach led the Initiatives.

The Liaisons were created 17 years pre-catastrophe by the Foundation Board via a mandate as the population in the habitats began to be sustainable. The Board determined to create a third entity, which was neither the Foundation nor individual habitat management but an administration that focused on the people of the habitat.

Commonly used in Wiccan rituals, a libation plate is a plate or shallow bowl holding a small amount of each dish served at a feast.

The common name for the vertical transportation system that moves between sections along the concave outermost wall of the habitats.

Livable floors were where people typically resided, worked, and spent their free time. These floors tended to mimic surface conditions in which videos of the sky above were shown, and the ground level contained plants, trees, and a sense of being outdoors. Most floors kept the temperatures relatively constant and did not fluctuate as they would for similar seasons on the planet’s surface.
