Location Aspects:
Quasi Fractal Formation: The autonomous robots that mine out the base carve tunnels at many scales by following simple instructions. The result is a deeply interconnected set of rooms and chambers. The smallest passages are 10cm across, and the largest are 10m. Social Stratification: 512 Leaders are organized in nine ranks. The 1st rank has one member: the prime leader. Each following rank has twice as many people in it. Shared Supervision: 2048 Supervisors are responsible for managing and directing the Drones. Rogue Thinkers: 1024 Thinkers are here because they are too socially disruptive to have honorable social credit scores. The Thinkers' social credit scores are inflated into the honorable range while they are isolated in the Warren. They are given significantly more freedom to pursue their work than other people here. Scientists and artists make up the majority of this population. Worker Bees: Over 250000 heavily edited human clones have been force grown in artificial wombs. Their embrionic brains grow around an active nanowire mesh neural lace. These creatures are physically compact, at 150cm height, but surprisingly strong, nimble, and seemingjy tireless. They are also quite intelligent, with a variety of savant-like skills bred into different cohorts. Rabbit In My Head: The Rabbit is the name of the AI that stitches everything together in the warren. It mediates the mind-to-mind connections between drones and humans, ensures the environment is stable, and closely monitors all behaviours. If a human's behaviours deviate from expectations or become maladaptive, the Rabbit may monitor that persons thoughts. This is not done all the time as it is computationally expensive and (more importantly) tends to degrade the performance of the human under scrutiny.

Yutu Jade Rabbit Rabbit

The Jade Rabbit Warren ('the Warren') is a continuously expanding self-sustaining habitat for humans. It has roughtly three million square metres of human usable floor space and thirty million cubic metres of human usable space. The autonomous robots that excavate the lunar rock follow simple algorithms to determine the local structure of the base. A map of the place is reminiscent of an ants nest, but all the rooms and corridors are contained in a specific envelope. The top of the base is a shallow cone, with the tip only 50m under the surface of the moon. About 180m further down it reaches it's widest diameter of 480m. From there it narrows as it descends, finally reaching a point an additional 500m below the surface.

There is a surface installation as well: a dome containing a spaceport. The dome is a massive structure, made of processed lunar regolith. It continues to grow in size and thickness as the material excavated is pushed to the surface and added to the dome.

The outer regions of the warren are reserved for industry of various types, including food production, environmental control, and other work. The chambers nearer the central axis and deeper underground are used for humans to interact, socialize and live in.

At the bottom of the base there is a large facility that appears to be used for producing new Drones in volume.

A secret gene witch lair was created by Dr. Fong, along with a secret access channel to the surface. It was destroyed when Dr. Fong and his team of gengineers defected to the New Commonwealth.
