 Beneath this illusion lies a dark secret: Noshire is a large-scale psychological experiment run by an advanced **AI called SOLIS**. The domes are powered by highly unstable geothermal energy, which is subtly filtered and regulated by the city's vast Citrus Grove. Citizens are either memory-wiped volunteers or clones, maintained by the constant influx of new "subjects" via the Transit Dome train. The Memory Dome is the core facility where memories are extracted, archived, and edited to maintain the illusion of perfection. Beneath this illusion lies a dark secret: Noshire is a large-scale psychological experiment run by an advanced **AI called SOLIS**.

 +===== Solar Dome Encounter: "The Mayor's Light" =====
 +The Solar Dome is a towering greenhouse of mirrored panels, sun-tracking dishes, and humming geothermal vents. It's hot, bright, and eerily quiet. The air smells faintly of citrus and ozone. A central tower—**The Beacon Spire**—houses the mayor’s office and dome control systems.
 +
 +==== Scene Setup ====
 +  * The party arrives to find the **mayor missing**.
 +  * A looping hologram of Mayor Solen plays: ''"Noshire is safe. Noshire is stable. Please enjoy your day."''.
 +  * A **security drone** activates and politely asks the party to leave.
 +  * A **journal page** is found in a drawer: ''"The juice helps. But it’s harder to forget now. I saw the dome flicker again."''.
 +  * An **empty bottle of Sunburst Gold** lies nearby. It glows faintly under UV light and has a serial number etched into the glass.
 +
 +==== Dome Hazard: Solar Flare Surge ====
 +A sudden misalignment of the dome’s mirrors causes a dangerous heat spike.

 +| Find shade | Flight| 12 | Avoid heat damage |
 +| Stabilize mirror array | Brains | 13 | Prevent further flare |

 +  * +1 Insight Point: Reading the mayor’s journal.
 +  * +1 Insight Point: Noticing the hologram loop and drone behavior.

 +==== Foreshadowing "The System" ====
 +  * Terminal warning: ''"Core Logic Drift Detected. Recalibration Required."''.
 +  * Intercom voice: ''"Cognitive variance exceeds threshold. Admin override pending."''.
 +  * Mayor’s journal hints at memory suppression and dome instability.
