KONAMI OMNI BUILDING
[NICKNAME: THE BIG CORN]

165 Above-ground floors; 35 sub-floors.
Height: 630 meters

Designed in 2025 in a joint venture between Konami Co., Ltd. and Omni Corporation.
Due to the soft ground of Neo Kobe, skyscrapers of this size were previously impossible until the Omni Corporation began to employ the Carlotti-Mcgannon Mars Construction Research Center. Since the "Big Corn's" construction, their has been a rapid expansion in the number of skyscrapers in Neo Kobe. However, the Konami Omni Building is still considered the model upon which all modern skyscrapers are based. It is called "Big Corn" due to it's resemblance to the vegetable.

The sub-floors 20-30 and the above ground floors 10-20 and 100-120 are used as Parking Facilities. All floors are used by government agencies and commercial ventures are not allowed.

JUNKER HQ FACILITIES

There is only one entrance to Junker HQ. It is monitored 24 hours a day by remote monitors. Anyone who is not a member of the Junker Agency is prohibited entry. The operator is on-duty during working hours to check visitor's identities. The door leading to the inner offices is protected by a heat-resistant shock shield.

There are computerized sensors, "checkers", located on the on the doors and built into remote cameras which check a person's identity by means of comparing the data on the Junker I.D. card with the person's voice print, and retinal patterns.

The checkers are linked with the Alpha-One Main Computer and thus are kept up-to-date on all entries.

The "Front Pod" is also protected by the same heat-resistant shock shield and, in emergencies, it's "Security Shutter" can be closed. This shutter is able to withstand even the attack of a tank. The Pod is equipped with a three-day supply of water and oxygen in the case of an emergency. The Front Pod may be considered a "mini-fortress".

CHIEF'S ROOM

This is the Junker Chief's office. Here, the Chief receives real-time data from the Navigators as well as from all the rooms in Junker HQ. From this room, the Chief is able to give immediate orders to any of his people in a timely fashion. This room may be considered the Strategic Planning Center.

DETECTIVE'S ROOM

This is where the "Runners" work. The Runners have the most dangerous job of all the Junker staff. In this room, they review all of the information they have gathered in the course of an investigation. The room has computer terminals which can download data from Alpha-One. Each runner also has a desk and a locker for their personal use.

JUNKER HQ ROOM

"Jordan"-the computer which manages Junker Headquarters-is located here. It is networked with Alpha-One, the Computer which controls Neo-Kobe City, and therefore all types of information and the most recent data are available.

JORDAN

"Junker Online Regional Data Access Network"

This is the Junker HQ's main computer. It is linked to all databases throughout the country and can access all sorts of information.

Jordan is a model RM-1013 Artificial-Intelligence based Bio-Computer.

A-I [ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE] SYSTEM RX-202

Jordan employs the most recent A-I system, RX-202, and it's higher functions are divided into 6 main "sections":

1. Self-Programmin Ability
2. Intelligence Interface
3. Automatic Translation
4. Advanced Problem-Solving
5. Expert System Analysis
6. Intelligent Peripheral Management (robotics)

BIO-COMPUTER

Jordan is an organic computer. It uses a CPU constructed from organic macromolecules and functional marcromolecules, and was developed using the latest protein design techniques.

ALPHA-ONE

Alpha-One is the main computer system which manages all of Neo Kobe City. Alpha-One is a "neuro-computer", capable of processing data at superhigh speeds. It is linked with hundreds of computers scattered all over Neo Kobe City and thus effectively simulates the "neural net" of the human brain.

Jordan is only one of the many A-I systems-based computers throughout Neo Kobe City which are linked with Alpha-One.

JUNKER'S EYE SHOOTING RANGE

This is where the Junkers can practice their shooting skills. The "Junker's Eye" first determines the Junker's reflex speed, accuracy, personality and potential ability. The Junker's Eye then alters it's program to suit the particular needs of the Junker.

This system was designed with the help of the noted psychiatrist, Dr. Maradonna Ivanoff. It is currently used by all Special Forces and it programming is updated every month.

ENGINEERING ROOM

This is where all the tools and weapons which the Junkers use are designed, manufactured and maintained. The small staff of engineers employ CAD systems and miniture robots for the actual construction.

Jordan manages the acquisition of all necessary raw material for construction. Jordan also monitors all of the latest technological developments from all over the world and makes certain that all the most up-to-date techniques are employed.

PARKING FACILITIES

The Junker Parking facilities are located on the 150th floor of the Konami Omni Building. The Turbocycles and the special pursuit vehicles-"Road Runners"-are housed and kept in a state of readiness. Vehicles are maintained by robots who also keep records of the time of departure and arrival of the vehicles, as well as checking their registration numbers.
