''"There is a storm brewing.  Solis Lacus, the Lake of the Sun, or perhaps you know it as the Eye of Mars, yes?  It is close to the size of Old Germany, and the heart of most of Mars' largest dust storms -- and I do not mean like the storms you might remember from back on Earth.  No, I mean most of the planet big.  The storms have eased since terraforming began, but this one...my joints ache already, and the sky is still clear.  And do not try to tell me I just need my GSPs -- I had them last month.  This one will be a redout like nothing we have seen since colonization began."'' -- Gunther, Barsoomian Nomad

''"You find some weird shit out on patrol, and not just in the White Zone. I was down in the Eye a few weeks back and found a biomorph. Not just dead, but it was like some kind of ritual killing or something.  Symbols etched into the sand, and what had been done to that body...I've seen ugly before, and this was up there with the worst of it.  More end-of-transhumanity nutjobs at work.  They've been crawling out from under their rocks a lot more than usual lately.  They say the Eye is opening. They say that its gaze is going to destroy us all.  I say they're a bunch of psychopaths that need to be put down before they can hurt anyone else."'' -- Kade, Martian Ranger

Like Martian society itself, Noctis-Qianjiao is a divided city -- divided between the two domes, with the surface home to some of the most impressive architecture and fashion that transhumanity has to offer; divided between surface and underground, with many of the undesirable elements of society shoved underground among the long-outdated and replaced support infrastructure for the original colony in what has come to be called the Downside.  Tensions have been escalating of late, and strange cults predicting the end of transhumanity becoming more vocal and prominent.  Some see an outside hand at work, though most scoff at such a notion...

* '''The Downside:''' The Downside consists of several of the underground levels of the Noctis Dome.  As technology advanced and many of the necessary life-support components shrank, a great deal of less desirable space opened up in the lower levels of Noctis.  Particularly with the refugee influx after the fall, the Downside became the haven of those too poor to live somewhere better, runaways, and criminals. Officially, the Downside is storage and maintenance, and is closed off.  Unofficially, Noctis government and security officials are just as happy to have the undesirables in one place and out of sight.  The term downsider, although specifically a reference to residents of the area, has come to be synonymous with criminal or vagabond.  The area has been glamorized in a number of popular crime drama vids and vidgames, where it is usually referred to as 'the Shadows of Noctis' and ruled over by the 'the Don of Shadows'.  Downsiders scoff at the depiction, but don't hesitate to take advantage of the occasional tourists that venture into the area because of it.

** '''The Black Water:''' A bar in the downside, named for the 'BLACK WATER ONLY' sign over the door, a remnant of the original dome's construction, when a sewage storage tank took up much of the main room.  The bar is fairly large, but ends up feeling a bit cramped because of the dim lighting, haphazard booth and table arrangement, and the odd shape.  The bar is a neutral territory of sorts, with the threat of being barred from the establishment enough to keep most of the patrons in line, though more than a few fights and assaults have taken place just outside the front door.
