[edit] Story
Squall and his friends are imprisoned there after their assassination attempt on Edea in Deling City. Squall is tortured by Seifer, who is following Edea's orders, and questions him about the true purpose of SeeD, which Squall doesn't know the answer to. Seifer tells him about his romantic dream about being a Sorceress' Knight. Squall then passes out due to the pain his torture is causing him. A while later, Squall regains his consciousness and is rescued by Moombas.
The rest of the party is thrown in a cell, their weapons confiscated. However, Zell realizes that not only is it impossible to confiscate his weapons (as they are his fists), but he can also make use of the knowledge of Ward, who worked as a janitor in the prison and whose eyes he had seen through, to escape, and while he is beaten up by a few guards, he succeeds. Irvine Kinneas also tries to save only Rinoa, which he gets in trouble for. They barely escape before the prison sinks back into the sand.
[edit] Layout
- Top-side Catwalks
The only known means of access between the three 'spires' of the prison. During the drilling phase where the three spires will drill into the ground the catwalks will withdraw into the spires.
- Interrogation Room
As the name implies this room is used for interrogating prisoners. Situated a level or two above the Cell levels one of this room's most notable possessions is a wall rack that, when a prisoner is tied to it, sends currents of electricity through the prisoner as a form of torture.
- Cell Levels
The Cell Levels make up the majority of at least one of the three drilling spires that make up the prison. Some levels are devoted to General Population Cells are are accessible by numerous catwalks that spiral down through the spire. Other levels are devoted solely to Solitary Cells which are hung together in the lower levels of the spire where the only way to access them is to use a crane to move the box-like cells to a readily accessible level.
- General Population Cells
General population cells are for the general criminal of Galbadia that are not regarded as a high security risk if they were to mingle with the other prisoners. As such they are designed to accomodate more then one prisoner. There are up to twelve levels devoted entirely to general population cells. Each easily accessible by guards and janitors.
- Solitary Cells
These cells are reserved for the more dangerous prisoners who can't be risked mingling with the general population. Each cell is an isolated box which is hung amongst others in a grid within the spire. These cells can only be accessed by moving them with a crane to one of the higher levels.
