What Happens Next?

The Science Continues...

Aaron's workshop features State-of-The-Art facilities such as various specialized laboratories, mechanized workshops, a personal gymnasium, parking, docking and hangar space (as appropriate) for his various vehicles as well as separate exits for each type, a vast library, and a remote-activated teleporter. The teleporter was a fantastic piece of technology even though Aaron barely used it. It was more an exercise to see if he could build one and while it worked well teleporting anywhere within the city... beyond that radius was incredible debilitating. Aaron tested it and the nausea and puking his guts out for over an hour wasn't that bad compared to the mind-blowing agony of feeling each and every atom in his body ripped apart and then slammed back together in a near infinite series of tiny faster-than-light car crashes.

During later reconstructions, The new and improved 'Knowhere' incorporated additional safeguards against every kind of conceivable catastrophe and was even outfitted with an Enhanced Panic Room.

There is a containment vault solely for the storage and research of Kryptonite in one of the sub-basement levels. However, Aaron later built another containment facility within the sub-basement to house a collection of various forms of Kryptonite which he procured from around the world and from a wide range of individuals.

Aaron even transported one of the world's last Lazarus Pit's into one of the sub-basement research levels of his workshop so that he could study it's restorative properties for potential medical applications.

The centerpiece of his secret refuge of high-technology, However, Is a powerful one-of-a-kind Quantum Supercomputer (Composed primarily of Galvan, Cerebrocrustacean, Transylian, Vorlon, Technarch, Kryptonian, Coluan, Thanagarian, Shi'ar, Atlantean, and Martian Technology supplemented by Replicator, Gua, Vidiian, Goa'uld, Tok'ra, Reetou, Tollan, Asgardian, and Wraith Technology among others with Aaron's own unique refinements) whose specs exceed any known computing, scanning, or communication device ever created and is connected to a massive information network and a vast storehouse of info-digital resources. It also includes an "island" computer platform built on a hydraulic turntable with seven linked Cray T932 biological mainframes, 500 ZNA processing cores (each capable of a zeta-flop of parallel computations per second) and a state-of-the-art hard light holographic projector.

Knowhere is also equipped with the most sophisticated security system on the planet in order to prevent all manner of detection and infiltration.

In case of emergency, A series of satellite link-ups and a surgically implanted, biochemically powered, high-frequency, pulse-code modulated radio bio-link allows easy access for Aaron to his personal information network and the full range of his private facilities from anywhere in the world. The systems are protected against unauthorized access, and any attempt to breach their security immediately sends an alert to Aaron. This link also enables him to project his consciousness into one or more android simulacra of himself.

Speaking of which sitting in the corner of the room was what appeared to be a smaller, younger version of Aaron but lifeless and still.....
