  Green Residential's platform serves mostly residential commuters. There is an exit at the center of the platform which leads east through a set of closed automatic doors to a stairway leading up to the main station, just next to a large plaque with the name of the station on it. The platform abuts the Transit web to the west, now empty.
  
  You can see a Transit Map here.

  A tiny surveillance camera you're sure you didn't see before swivels to follow you.
  
  Warning lights along the platform edge begin to blink rapidly. A light grows in the tunnel. With a deep moan and gust of wind, an express Transit Capsule blasts through Green Residential and vanishes into the darkness once more.
  
  A light grows in the tunnel. With a deep thrumming and the whoosh of displaced air, the Transit Capsule slides smoothly into Green Residential Platform and comes to a stop, hovering in the Web. The doors slide open and a few commuters enter and exit the capsule.

  The Reserve Bank Transit Station. The platform opens out at the middle to a lobby area which is dominated by a row of automated doors to the west. The flow of commuters moves steadily through these doors, with each person turning their head to the right as they approach for the eye scanner to verify their identity before opening the portal long enough for them to slip through. The floor and walls are both clean duramex nanotile, and the station name (Reserve Bank) is indicated on large plaques set into the walls. At either end of the platform, closed gates guard against any entry into the slideway tunnels. A platform abuts a Transit web, where a Transit capsule can be seen hovering. The capsule doors are open.

  The corridor widens as it terminates at the automatic doors to the Reserve Bank Station, which lies to the east. There is a directory and guide sign on the wall. Although traffic is overwhelmingly to the west, there are two doors reserved for traffic into the station, indicated by green lightbars overhead, whose access scanners are active.

  The center of the Food Court beneath the Reserve Bank spacescraper is a busy place at all times of the day. Around the periphery are several food stand franchises, some doing a brisk business. Hundreds of people are here waiting in line at the food stands, sitting at the dozens of tables in the center, or just passing through from the Reserve Bank Station to the Lift Lobby up a ramp to the west or vice versa. The floor is made of duramex tiles.

  Green Commercial One is one of the oldest stations on the Transit web. Although it has been refurbished several times, its age still manages to show through the layers of tile and paint. The platform opens out at the middle to a lobby area which is dominated by a row of automated doors to the south, which lead to stairways up to the main station. The flow of commuters moves steadily through these doors. The floor and walls are both extremely scuffed duramex nanotile, and the station name (Green Commercial One) is indicated on a large plaque set into the walls. The platform abuts the Transit web to the north, where a Transit capsule can be seen hovering. The capsule doors are open.

  (first opening the Green Commercial Station door)
  
  Green Commercial One's Transit station usually does most of its business around the rush hours, as Green Residental commuters stop off to take care of errands. The station is relatively small, but well kept up - the Green Commercial Business Improvement District organization sees to that. Open doorways lead south to Green Commercial One proper, and a stairway leads down to the doors to the Transit platform.

  The Proletariat is a local bar (not a pub). It's just far enough above a "dive" to be allowed zoning here, but steadfastedly refuses to cater to upscale tastes. You like it. Restrooms are to the east; the bar runs along the north side with a stolid bartender behind it and a jukebox sits against the back wall. A few hardy drinkers sit here, communing with their spirits.

  Roberto sighs. "I have a good job," he says. "I am a custodian at the Reserve Bank, downtown. The work is not bad, and the pay is not terrible, but they are very strict about the uniform."
  
  > ask Roberto about the uniform
  (Roberto Velez about that)
  Roberto cranes his head to look at the damage. "Oh, yes," he says. "This happened at work. I caught it on a shelf." He shakes his head dolefully. "They are making me pay for the jacket," he says to you, "but they are charging me the new price for it! The price, it is ridiculous! I would replace it myself but I cannot afford one like it. I will have to let them dock my pay for months."
  
  > look at the jacket
  A dark blue uniform jacket with black snap closures and false side pockets. There is a long gash on the outside of the left sleeve near the shoulder. There is a nametag clipped to the jacket which reads "Roberto Velez."
  
  > go to the south
  The southern end of the Green Commercial Plaza, which continues to the north. To the east is Accessorize, a fashion store, and to the west is Garb-oh, a trendy clothing shop. The south end of the mall is closed off by an elaborate landscaping installation of trees and shrubs, presumably to hide a relatively ugly building behind it.
  
  The Reserve Bank Spacescraper is visible in the distance, rising over the low skyline.
  
  A parked police flitter, armored and festooned with lights, looms here.
  
  You can also see a trash can (closed) here.
  
  You can go north to Green Commercial Plaza Center, northeast to The Proletariat Bar, northwest to Green Commercial Bistro Paris, east to Accessorize, and west through the Garb-oh door (closed) to Garb-oh from here.

  > Go west
  (first opening the Garb-oh door)
  
  Garb-oh! is a trendy clothing shop. Images of the shop's icon Greta Garbo abound, each dressed in the clothing item offered on the rack below it. Jackets, scarves, bandannas, trousers, shirts and more are on inviting display.
  
  On the racks are a brown pair of pants's antitheft tag, a blue pair of pants's antitheft tag, a blue jacket, a white shirt, a green shirt, a blue pair of pants, and a brown pair of pants.
  
  The sales counter runs along the north side of the store.

  > get the blue jacket
  (putting the laptop into the backpack to make room)
  Taken.
  
  > examine the blue jacket
  A dark blue jacket, very bland cut, with black snap closures and side pockets. You almost expect to see a name sewn on the front at the breast in gold thread. It's probably a size too large for you.
  
  There is an antitheft tag attached to the blue jacket.
  
  > cut the tag
  Which do you mean, the brown pair of pants's antitheft tag, the blue pair of pants's antitheft tag, the white shirt's antitheft tag, the green shirt's antitheft tag, the blue jacket's antitheft tag, or the tag remover?
  
  > cut the blue jacket's tag
  You'd need to cut the blue jacket's antitheft tag with something; you can't do it bare-handed.
  
  The shopkeeper wanders past you and gives you a suspicious look.
  
  > remove the blue jacket's tag with the tag remover
  You deftly remove the tag with the tag remover.
  
  > look at the tag
  (the blue jacket's antitheft tag)
  This is a small rubberized sealed plastic transponder, perhaps a centimeter thick and two by four centimeters square, with a complex security mechanism for attaching it to products. It is used for inventory control as well as theft prevention; it cannot be removed from a garment without the associated removal tool.
  
  > cut the tag with the knife
  (the blue jacket's antitheft tag with the lockblade knife)
  (putting the lens case into the backpack to make room)
  You're carrying too many things already.
  
  You carefully cut open the tag with your knife and peel back the plastic to reveal a blank memory chip.
  
  A small group of people enter the store, look around, look at each other and file back out.

In a nod to the place's name, a Public Surveillance Notice covered with stickers and graffiti tags has been framed above the bar.
  
  Thin music can be heard.
  
  You can see Roberto Velez and a Bartender here.
  
  You can go northwest to Green Commercial Plaza North, southwest to Green Commercial Plaza South, east to Proletariat Restroom, and west to Green Commercial Plaza Center from here.
  
  There is a Public Surveillance Notice here.
  
  > give the jacket to Roberto
  (the blue jacket to Roberto Velez)
  Roberto stands up and eagerly examines the blue jacket. "This would be a perfect replacement!" he says enthusiastically, showing you how closely it resembles his torn uniform jacket. "Would you be willing to part with it? I cannot give you much, but I would happily pay you what I can; it will be less than what those dogs would take from my salary to replace this one!" He pats his pockets, then shakes his head. "I need to go to the ATM." With that, he stands up.
  
  Roberto Velez goes northwest.

  Green Commercial One is built around a plaza, and this is its northern end. No vehicles are permitted within the public areas of Green Commercial One, so the entire area is pedestrian-only. To the north are the doorways to the Green Commercial Station. To the east is the NanoMart. To the west is a storefront bank with an ATM. The plaza continues to the south.
  
  The Reserve Bank Spacescraper is visible in the distance, rising over the low skyline.
  
  You can also see Roberto Velez and a trash can (in which is some rubbish) here.
  
  You can go north to Green Commercial Station, south to Green Commercial Plaza Center, southeast to The Proletariat Bar, southwest to Green Commercial Bistro Paris, east to NanoMart, and west to Metro Savings from here.
  
  There is a Public Surveillance Notice here.
  
  Roberto Velez goes west.

  This is a completely nondescript bank storefront which exists solely to house an ATM. It's so nondescript, in fact, that it took you some actual effort to determine which bank owns it, probably to ensure that they can charge you access fees no matter what. To the east is Green Commercial Plaza.

  Roberto approaches the ATM, intent on withdrawing funds to pay you for the blue jacket.
  He looks at the ATM's cracked palm reader, then at you. "The ATM scanner, he is broken." He shakes his head.

  5/14: Do you really want me to get more explicit?
