The Safe Room is a Black Rock-insulated space designed for FBC employees to retreat to in the case of emergencies, such as Building Shifts, and are located throughout the Oldest House.
Each Safe Room is designed to support up to six people at a time. In addition to standard safety supplies such as a first aid kit and fire extinguisher, they are equipped with six wall-mounted folding bunks, a small prison-style sink and toliet, several benches, a small folding table with a radio, and an emergency supply storage cabinet. Each is equipped with a two-way intercom for occupants to communicate with anyone outside, a handset to call other locations within the Bureau, and a red service hatch for additional supplies to be safely transferred to the occupants.
Many Safe Rooms are used as additional places to store containment equipment such as a Black Rock powder deployment units and crucibles for storing dangerous objects or materials.
Due to their insulation with Black Rock, many Safe Rooms can also be used to contain an escaped or new altered item should a retrieval team be unable to do so by standard means.[1] They can also be converted for use as secure cells for paranatural entities, as is the case with Fra.
Trivia[]
- Stuart Macdonald credits the idea of "paranatural panic rooms" to the fact that many apartment blocks and public buildings in Finland feature basement areas designated as fallout shelters, including Remedy’s old office.[2]
- If one carefully examines the labels on the intercom, there is a warning stating the room is shielded with magnetite and those with pacemakers should take shelter in an unshielded safe room.
- Please refrain from bringing cell phones, cigarettes, pets, weapons or children into safe rooms as well.
