<div align="center">(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/mansionwewilluse01.jpg)</div><br/>The front gate of the Xavier Institute is equipped with Stark International anti-acceleration field generators to prevent ramming. It also contains voice and vision intercom to the Institute's security room in addition to a bio scanner port.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/FrontView3.jpg)</div><br/>A large tiled courtyard leads to the main entrance of the Mansion. Once inside, a large, plush foyer splinters off into various rooms, and straight through the foyer leads to the hyperlift, an elevator that leads to the Restricted Access Sub-Levels and the Administration Wing where the offices of the Student Dean, Headmistress, and Administrator are located.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/FrontView.jpg)</div><br/>Access to the back is gained through various points, the main entrance being the kitchen. Located at the rear of the estate is an Olympic-sized swimming pool, basketball court and main entrance to Breakstone Lake. Each of these facilities are for students, faculty and X-Men.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/RearView.jpg)</div><br/><br/><div align="center">_________________________________________________________________________________________________________</div><br/><br/><strong>Basketball and Tennis Courts</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/basketballtennis.jpg)<br/><br/>The Basketball and Tennis Courts are where one would play basketball and/or tennis, or so one would assume. However, these are not normal courts; they house a really neat secret... play your hand right and you might just be lucky enough to find out.<br/><br/>Directly beneath the basketball and tennis court is the X-Men's Hangar Bay deep within the subbasement of the Institute. A klaxon will sound to warn anyone nearby to evacuate the area as the basketball and tennis court splits in half and retracts within the ground to allow an aircraft to pass through.<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/TennisCourts.jpg)<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Boathouse</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/boathouse.jpg)<br/><br/>Logan's Boathouse is not somewhere the average student should go. It's dark and usually smells like cigar smoke and of the hotness that is Logan himself. He prides himself on his peace and quiet, and is usually not above skewering a student should they trespass without his permission.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Breakstone Lake</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/lake.jpg)<br/><br/>Breakstone Lake is a lovely lake set not too far off from the main school building. Students are free to swim during the warmer months or skate during the colder ones.<br/><br/>Various carriage trails cut around the large body of water that makes up a large part of the Estate. This allows students to enjoy various activities both in the Summer and Wintery months.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Hedge Maze</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/maze.jpg)<br/><br/>The hedge maze is a myriad of twists and turns with pathways leading to dead ends, and one that leads to the center of the maze. There is a trick to figuring it out... are you smarter than a hedge maze?<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Memorial Garden</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/memorialgarden.jpg)<br/><br/>The Memorial Gardens, a peaceful, quiet place of reflection. It carries hundreds of blooming flowers and fauna, several small fountains, and during the warmer months, a small pond. Concrete benches and statues delicately lay tucked amongst the beauty.<br/><br/>However, not everything is happy in this garden. This is a place built to remember those that we have lost. Friends and family, classmates and teachers are never forgotten as small tributes to their lives remain behind.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Pathway To Garages</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Garage2.jpg)<br/><br/>A large, unattached garage sits some distance from the Xavier Institute's main building. Here, students and faculty who have their own vehicles can park for free, keeping their cars, bikes etc. protected from the elements. Institute vehicles are also housed here.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Pathway To Stable House</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/stables.jpg)<br/><br/>A stable is on the campus of the Xavier Institute that can board up to 20 horses. Students are welcome to bring their horses from home to the Institute for an annual fee (which can be waived under special circumstances). A stable master has been hired to take care of and work the horses every day.<br/><br/>There is a fenced-off area where horses can be ridden, or where jumps can be set up. Riding is also permitted on the various trails that cover the campus.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Swimming Pool</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/pool.jpg)<br/><br/>The swimming pool is a large in-ground container of water that people like to swim in. There is also a set of hot tubs for personal use, no getting naked in these please, and a sauna for helping you to break a sweat and cleanse your skin. During the winter months the pool is drained and covered to protected from the snow.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Atrium</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/atrium.jpg)<br/><br/>The Atrium is another zen like spot here at Xavier's. It's full of lively plants and flowers, all indoors this time. Students are always welcome to come relax here amongst the petals. They can plant their own flowers and whatnot as long as they ensure their care and not leave it for someone else to take care of.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Cafeteria</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Cafeteria.jpg)<br/><br/>There’s also a cafeteria to feed the large student body, built under a huge glass dome. The old mansion was not suited at all to handle this many people’s different needs, but there are no such problems with the new cafeteria anymore.<br/><br/>The cafeteria is where the students usually gather to eat and spend time together. There is a fully stocked kitchen with a few on hand staff that usually have any number of good foods cooking, and they don't usually mind if you want to make your own, as long as you clean up after yourself!<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Classrooms</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Classrooms4.jpg)<br/><br/>Half a dozen full equip classrooms are located at the Institute. Classrooms are where the learning happens... well... the academic learning anyway! Chalkboards, chalk, those ever dusty erasers, student desks... and don't forget to put an apple on the teacher's desk!<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Classrooms5.jpg)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Headmaster's Office</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/profxoffice.jpg)<br/><br/>Please, step right into the Headmaster's office. There is plenty of room to go around and always an open seat to any student that needs it. Dark woods and plush materials furnish this room, giving way to the distinguished man usually seated behind the desk.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Observation Tower</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/observatory.jpg)<br/><br/>The Observation Tower is an area set on top of a long flight of stairs. Enclosed in many large glass windows, this is a prime area for watching the stars, or a quiet place to do homework... or we have found the occasional couple sneaking up here for private time! Don't get caught!<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Library</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Library2.jpg)<br/><br/>Books, books and more books... Ok, yes, the occasional computer for student use. This is the library. Students come here to study, chit-chat, as well as research for varied school projects.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Sub-Levels</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Sub-Levels.jpg)<br/><br/>In addition to the campus grounds, the Xavier Institute also houses an array of restricted access Sub-Levels. The Danger Room, War Room, Hangar Bay, holding cells, research and development labs, medical labs and Cerebra chamber can all be found in the sub-levels.<br/><br/>Voice-activated hallway icons give interactive directions through the sub-levels, though these are restricted to the sub-levels.<br/><br/>Access to the sub-levels is only available to faculty, X-Men, and students -- although students are only granted access once they have spoken to their squad leader or faculty advisor.<br/><br/>To access the sub-levels you must go to the hyperlift at the end of the hallway in the foyer, then proceed through the various security measures such as hand scans, retina scans, voice scans and passcodes.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Danger Room</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Danger_Room2.jpg)<br/><br/>The Danger Room consists of two parts, the Danger Room itself, and the Control Room which is housed above the Danger Room. The Control Room, or observation hub, on top of the Danger Room, allows the entire room to be observed. To the untrained eye, the Danger Room is a featureless room. To those who are (un)fortunate enough to engage its systems, it is the ultimate battle simulator. It employs highly advanced technologies from sources such as the Shi'ar, Forge and Beast.<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Danger_Room1.jpg)<br/><br/>The Danger Room pits its opponents against an array of physical and holographic opponents that tests a trainees' mastery over their mutant powers to peak endurance.<br/><br/>Using the advanced technologies, the Danger Room can give the illusion of being many times bigger than it actually is. Anything from gravity, heat, humidity, or texture can be manipulated from the control booth.<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/dangerroom.jpg)<br/><br/>Students are not permitted to be in the Danger Room unless accompanied by an instructor or X-Man.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Cerebra Chamber</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Cerebro1.jpg)<br/><br/>To most people, it's a big, round room. To those who actually know what it is, it is no less than amazing. The Cerebra chamber houses Cerebra, a mutant locating and telepathic ability amplifier. When a telepath uses Cerebra, their telepathic abilities are boosted to an incredible degree. Cerebra amplifies the brainwaves of the user. In the case of telepaths (Xavier), it enables the user to detect traces of other mutants worldwide. It is not clear whether it finds mutants by the power signature they send out when they use their powers or by the presence of the X-gene in their body. Cerebra is usually used for scanning for new mutants, but it can be used for other purposes.<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Cerebro2.jpg)<br/><br/>A non-telepath can also use the Cerebra machine, although this is not recommended unless they are trained because they may experience various degrees of psychic trauma.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Holding Cells</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Holding_Cell.jpg)<br/><br/>The holding cells are an underground storage facility for those villains that the X-Men deem too unsafe to let roam about freely. The holding cells consist of small titanium-steel cells with the same type of door. Various safety measures can be taken such as erecting an internal force field to back up the titanium-steel walls, a nullification field to 'switch off' mutant abilities, and various other precautions. There are also stasis tubes which hold inhabitants in a state of suspended animation until they are awakened.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The War Room</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/War_Room.jpg)<br/><br/>The War Room is located near the Danger Room. It is the 'operating center' of the X-Men. This is where briefings are given, missions are planned, and meetings take place.<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/War_Room2.jpg)<br/><br/>There are various computers and monitors around the War Room, each with their own function. The War Room monitors news feeds from every news network on television and radio, and scans every known frequency for reports on events occurring around the world. Thanks to the artificially intelligent computer program Cerebra running throughout the mansion, the X-Men don't need to scan 24/7. If Cerebra picks up something, it will notify the X-Men through their communication links.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Research and Development &amp; Medical Labs</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Hospital.jpg)<br/><br/>These labs are usually used by Dr. Henry McCoy and other medically-trained mansion staff. RALPH, the holographic doctor is also installed in the lower-level Medical Lab in the event that Dr. McCoy or another member of the medical team is unavailable. Dr. McCoy's own personal lab and the medical lab are also equipped with tele-immersive displays.<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Hospital8.jpg)<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Hanger Bay</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Hanger_Bay.jpg)<br/><br/>This is one of the very few places on the Estate that is actually as it seems. The Hangar Bay is just that, an underground area for the storage of the X-Men's aircrafts, notably the Blackbird. The exit and entry point has been relocated. Prior to reconstruction, it was located at Devil's Rock, but now it is located beneath the basketball court. A klaxon will sound to warn anyone nearby to evacuate the area. Students, faculty, and X-Men are advised to move immediately.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Blackbird</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/insidejet.jpg)<br/><br/>Professor Xavier somehow gained at least one working version of the RS-150 Blackbird from SHIELD after the X-Men's Stratojet had been destroyed by Count Nefaria. Soon after the X-Men acquired this 7-seat version of the Blackbird, it was upgraded with Shi'ar technology, including weapon systems, holographic active camouflage, and engines capable of hypersonic speeds. Later, it was rebuilt and remodeled by Forge. The official name of the plane is the Blackbird, although it has been referred to as the X-Jet.<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Forges_Blackbird_001.jpg)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Morlock Tunnels</strong><br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Tunnel5.jpg)<br/><br/>On the off-chance that the Mansion is invaded, there is an access hatch to the Morlock Tunnels in the sub-levels. This is only to be used in an all-out invasion or attack. Students are to be led out first by a member of staff, followed by other staff and faculty members, and, if necessary, the X-Men.<br/><br/>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/XMenGame/Mansion/Tunnel3.jpg)
