Elle Ciel - Facilities

Facilities

The Elle Ciel is designed primarily as a ship of peace, and so is equipped with many comforts that one would not find on a military ship. These comforts would allow the Elle Ciel to keep guests comfortable during visits or during negotiations. There is also a good possibility that it was used by the Imperial family as their personal spaceship, based on the fact that a large part of the living deck is used for Shiva's quarters.

The Elle Ciel is made up of four blocks. During the adventure portions of each chapter of the game, Tact can explore each block to improve his relationships with the Angel Troupe members, thus boosting their abilities in battle and the likelihood of a good ending for the player's chosen Angel. The Angels are easily found, with icons of their faces appearing on the in-game map in the rooms that they are in (excepting an Angel's own chapter in the first game, in which she accompanies Tact everywhere).

Block A is primarily the command deck. It is where the bridge is located, as well as a briefing/meeting room (though it is rarely used). The huge artificial park where many of the game events occur is also found in this block. Furthermore, Tact's personal quarters are located next to the bridge, allowing for quick response to emergencies.

Block B is directly beneath Block A and contains most of the ship's food-related facilities. This includes the ship cafeteria (where Milfie can often be found helping out), the tea lounge (where the Angels, especially Mint, like to relax), an elevator hall equipped with numerous vending machines (which is also big enough to hold large events such as flea markets) and even a 24-hour convenience store.

Block C is where the living quarters of the majority of the crew are found. Each of the five (later six with the addition of Chitose) Angels have their own room, customized to fit their personalities (for example, Milfie's room includes a fully functional kitchen, while Forte's room contains her extensive gun collection). There are also guest rooms and a VIP room where Prince Shiva stayed during Eonia's coup.

Block D is the largest of the four blocks and contains an assortment of facilities. The three most important ones are the Whale Room where Kuromie Quark looks after the Space Whale, the engine room where the Chrono String Engines are located and the hangar where the Angel Troupe's Emblem Frames are docked and maintained under the care of head engineer Creta. Other facilities include the med-lab where Dr. Keyra and Vanilla can be found, a training room where Ranpha often practices her kung fu, a shooting range that acts as Forte's second home, a locker room, storage and a number of rooms that are possibly the engineer quarters.
