In earlier days the Town Hall had been a place to meet and discuss, to debate and decide. A place where every member of the colony, whether they be the magistrate or the janitor, had an equal voice. The room itself consisted of a single podium set at the far end of the room, with several rows of benches set in front of it so that the room's speaker could be seen by everyone in the room. Other than that the room itself was rather bare and plain. A small terminal was set in one corner, what ever had happened to the colonists hadn't happened in the town hall.
