	The current-day MetroCity of the 2020's is approximaelty a 60km
diameter circle encompassing the outter and inner harbours and the Basin.
At the head of the basin is Chinatown, with Crystal Village in its centre.
Unemployment is averaging 12%, and the pollution count is roughly equal to
a pack a day.  The entire Halifax Penninsula has become the Robo-Docks, a
vast automated merchantile dockyard container and bulk facility with rail,
road and air-links to the rest of the world.  With the exception of within
Crystal Village, buildings range in height from 85m (30 stories) through
the City average of 1000m (350 stories) up to archology-mega-scrapers of
3700m (nearly 1300 stories).  The largest building in MetroCity is the
FAC Manufacturing, Research and Testing Facility, a molybendium-steel
zigaurat of 6200m in height.
	Day time is demi-gloom from industrial clouds and building shadows.
There is a continuous 60% chance of precipitation, which even in winter is
rain.  Nights are luminous, from the hard-water fog which shrouds the city
and reflects and returns the City's street-lights and neons.  Every three
days (Except Sundays) at noon the trans-sonic boom of the latest LEO-bound
vehicle from the CANSpace facility echoes through-out the city.  Even at
night, the sounds of aerodyne turbines whistle past;  MetroForce, Trauma
Team, REO Meatwagon, Corporate interests and private citizens.	The
club-life and the Cyberpunk movement are alive and well;  there a million
possibilities in a city of 12 million people.  Welcome to New Halifax, or
MetroCity, if you prefer.
