== '''Place:''' Arteaga-Southerland Centre for Community and Research ==
 

'''Qualities:'''

''When everyone works together, anything is possible.''

''Familiarity and understanding are a cure for fear.''

''Where it started is where it continues.''

'''Description:''' After android production was suspended and androids gained citizenship, doctors Arteaga and Southerland, the designers of the android brain and now rich men from their patents, donated a large sum of money to convert the former assembly facility and later the heart of the liberation movement into its current form. The work at the centre, both volunteer and otherwise, focuses on android-human relations and various research projects, often of the sort where androids and humans work together to tackle various issues and attempt to develop solutions to problems affecting both groups or the world at large. The projects can range in scale from local students looking into local issues to acclaimed scientists researching climate change.

The centre sees occasional trouble from protests to vandalism, since some humans still harbor anti-android sentiment and some androids return the feeling. But serious incidents are rare and most of the time the area is a peaceful one.

'''People:''' Dr. Cain Peace. Android, political activist, former liberation movement leader, and an expert in terraforming and geodesign. With an appearance of a powerfully built man in his thirties, clean shaven and with a short cropped hair, Cain looks more like a soldier than a scientist. But he is calm, diplomatic and nonviolent in personality, preferring verbal confrontation to physical, and will seek to subdue rather than injure if pressed into a fight. He sees citizenship for his kind as only the beginning, and between running the Arteaga-Southerland Centre, political lobbying, being active in regular and social media, and participating in social and research projects, many people wonder whether he even needs a recharge period like most androids and if he does, how does he find time for it.

'''Qualities:'''

''"I am always busy, but I can spare a moment for you."''

''Make peace, not war.''

''Community leader.''
