Sector 45 is one of the key bases for The Reestablishment in North America. It is not too far from what was once known as Los Angeles. It is led by Aaron Warner.

Description[]

Sector 45 is a bleak and barren place, like much of the world. The sky is gray, the air is polluted, the animals are extinct, and the people are starving and suffering. To cross between sectors a person must have clearance.

To escape Sector 45, you must brave the Nuclear Field, an old nuclear site. Crossing the site eliminates the tracker serum that Sector 45, and The Reestablishment, uses to keep track of its soldiers. It’s revealed that people with abilities are immune to the radiation in the nuclear field. However, those without abilities are not immune.

Before Warner was given the position of Chief Commander and Regent, or CCR, of Sector 45, his father Paris Anderson held the position. When the previous Supreme Commander of North America grew terminally ill, Anderson took the position.

At the end of Restore Me, the biannual symposium between the 555 North American sectors is held off-base in Sector 45.

Sector 45 Headquarters[]

The Sector 45 army base is five minutes from the beach and a few miles from the decrepit, obsolete Highway 405. The headquarters looks like an ordinary office building. It’s tall, steel gray, and seems old and decrepit. Some of the windows are cracked. The base is massive and accommodates thousands of soldiers. The base has hundreds of different rooms, spanning across fifteen levels, including dining rooms, bedrooms, training rooms, conference rooms, offices, a medical wing, kitchens, holding facility, storage facilities, a basement, and a hangar for aircraft. The lower levels have stone paths.

Lobby[]

The main lobby is grandeur with marble floors, crystal chandeliers, Persian rugs, and rich furnishings. The ceilings are high, the architecture is modern but elegant. The space is all glass, marble, and stainless steel. It has a blinding, gleaming interior. When Juliette Ferrars first sees it she is disgusted by its grandeur.

Juliette's Bedroom[]

Upon Juliette's arrival from the asylum, she is housed in her own room under the surveillance of Adam Kent. The space is beautiful, but strictly functional. There's lush carpet, a queen-sized bed, an armoire, a desk, and an attached bathroom. The armoire is full of dresses and clothes Warner selected for her prior to her arrival.

Dining Room[]

Seven banquet tables are placed throughout the massive space, draped in blue silk with crystal vases of orchids, lilies, and gardenias.

Elevator[]

The elevator is made of glass, and is visible to all from the lobby. It requires a key card to authorize the lift. It can access all fifteen levels of the base. The doors ping as they open.

Warner's Quarters[]

Warner's bedroom is nearly identical to Juliette's in layout, size, and its lack of decoration. The main difference is his king-sized bed, which is outfitted in covers of damask golds and burgundies. Above the bed is a chandelier. The carpet is "the color of a setting sun." The furniture is standard: a bed, side tables, a desk, an armoire, a coat rack, and a small table in the corner with a candle on it. Attached is a bathroom with a bathtub and stacks of soaps.

The closet is accessible through Warner's room by pressing a button flush into the wall that Juliette describes as difficult to find unless someone is actually looking for it. Once pressed, a panel slides from the wall and an automatic light switches on to reveal the massive space reserved for Warner's clothes. The space is bigger than his bedroom and lined with dark, wooden shelving units and hanging racks on each wall. Oriental rugs carpet the floor, and the walls and ceiling are white stone. The shelves are lined with rows of his shoes, mostly dress shoes and combat boots, which are all polished and lined up perfectly. His close is arranged into sections, with each wall having a different category, and then everything within each section is arranged according to color, then shades within each color. In Ignite Me, Warner has Juliette's armoire moved into a corner of his closet. In the very center of the room is a jade-colored ottoman couch. There are no mirrors.

Commander's Office[]

Warner's office is larger than his closet and bedroom combined. Like his closet and bedroom, the space is quite minimalistic; the floor is covered in an Oriental rug, and all the furniture is dark wood matching his closet. A wall of dark, wooden bookshelves contains books, both old and new. The rest of the space is occupied by a boardroom table with six chairs, a sitting area with a couch and side tables, and Warner's desk at the farthest end of the room. An intercom is housed on the wall behind his desk. Inside Warner's office is an elevator that only accesses his private training quarters. The door to his bedroom can be locked from the inside for privacy.

Warner's Training Facility[]

Warner's training facility is located beneath his bedroom and office and can only be accessed through the elevator in Warner's office or a door leading through the attached shooting range, which leads through a storage facility that ends in a loading zone. The main room is floored in black, spongelike material and dedicated to workout equipment with cardio machines and weight-lifting devices occupying most of the space. Metal bars hang from the ceiling, and there are racks upon racks of weights. One is entirely outfitted for rock-climbing, one is for Warner's gun collection with a door that leads to an indoor shooting range. Beside the elevator is a door leading to a locker room with showers, laundry, and bathroom stalls. When the former Omega Point members stay here, they use extra mats to sleep on.

The Quadrant[]

The Quadrant is an outdoor space where soldiers gather for announcements. There is a courtyard above the Quadrant where Warner stands to address the soldiers of Sector 45. It's a space between two buildings that's large enough to hold the thousands of soldiers that make up Sector 45. There's a small, metal square on the courtyard for speakers to use to amplify their voice across the Quadrant.

The Blue Room[]

The Blue Room is a room Warner and Juliette meet in for breakfast. It's named for its wall color, but the room itself is only two velvet chairs in another shade of blue. The chairs have a button to call for service and have carts of food brought in.

Simulation Chamber[]

Past several dark corridors and many metal doors, there's a dark room where Warner and his soldiers train with simulations. These rooms are used to generate simulations. They manipulate the technology to create environments and experiences that exist entirely in the human mind. They can create the framework and control minute details, including smells, sounds, false confidence, paranoia. The program was originally designed to help train soldiers for specific missions and aid them in overcoming fears that would otherwise cripple them on the battlefield. Warner used it to as his safe space and only escape from the world.

There's a set of swinging double doors into the locker room that sits adjacent to the simulation deck. The floor is made of concrete. The main operational deck has a computer and keyboard to program the details of various simulations. The simulation chamber has green carpet and yellow walls with a two-way mirror embedded in one wall to see into the main chamber. The walls are made of thick concrete. Users must wear an uncomfortable uniform of shorts and shirt. The uniform is lined with a special chemical that reacts with the person’s skin and feeds information to the sensors to help place them in the experience. The cameras are hypersensitive to body heat and work best when not in contact with synthetic materials.

The L Room[]

The L Room is where Delalieu Warner and Aaron dine and hold meetings. There is little beyond a table and chairs.

Castle's Makeshift Office[]

At the beginning of Restore Me, the former Omega Point members stay situated in Warner's training facility as construction on the fifteenth floor ensues to provide them with living quarters and offices; however, Castle is granted his own small, makeshift office upstairs. Kenji Kishimoto and Juliette meet with him here.

Conference Room[]

The conference room is only mentioned as the location where Warner and Delalieu meet to eat breakfast together and discuss updates each morning. It's located somewhere downstairs, away from Warner's actual office.

Rooftop[]

Warner reveals that the rooftop is somewhere he goes for peace and solitude. The rooftop is concrete and empty with a 15-story view of the entire sector, the ocean, and the civilians. He and Adam meet here to discuss the death of their father.

Hangar[]

Located at the top story/rooftop of Sector 45, the hangar is a vast space that houses many military aircraft in its multiple wings, such as military choppers and jets.

Main Reception Room[]

This room is introduced in Restore Me upon the arrival of Haider Ibrahim. There are multiple couches with a wooden coffee table between them bearing a button to call for tea and coffee service. This location is also where Juliette later meets Nicolás Castillo, Valentina Castillo, Stephan Feruzi Omondi, and Lena Mishkin.

The 15th Floor[]

Warner grants clearance to gut the 15th floor in order to build living quarters, offices, a command post, research labs, a large common room, and a medical wing for the former Omega Point members.

Dormitories[]

The dormitories are where soldiers sleep. The walls are paper thin and the space is small. Some rooms have a window. There's a desk, a bed, and a basic closet. Soldiers must share a bathroom with some of the others on their floor.[1]

The Twins' Medical Wing[]

When Juliette gets injured in Restore Me and recovers in the twins' new medical wing being built on the 15th floor, it's only half-finished. Nevertheless, there's a metal table, a bed, and supplies for her. Inside Juliette's room are floor-to-ceiling windows. The hallway outside has chairs against concrete walls.

Supreme Commander's Quarters[]

The supreme commander has his or her own quarters in every sector on the continent. There's an entire wing dedicated to their offices at the Sector 45 headquarters. The quarters are enormous, far bigger than Warner's. In total, the suite consists of two offices, two meeting rooms, a full kitchen, a large master suite with a living room, three bathrooms, two guest rooms, and four closets. One of these closets is dedicated entirely to Anderson's alcohol collection, totaling 637 bottles of mostly bourbon. The room has dark shelving like Warner's closet, two brown leather chairs, and a table stationed between them with drinking glasses. A chandelier hangs from the ceiling.
