Editing Mysteries

[[File:Mysteries.jpg|thumb|Mysteries, New Cap City.]]
'''Mysteries''' was a nightclub in the [[holoband]] game environment known as [[New Cap City]].  Mysteries featured a show hosted by [[Cerberus]] who espoused riddles and posed questions to select audience members.  Those audience members who failed to answer correctly were derezzed and banned from New Cap City permanently.

[[Tamara Adama]] visited Mysteries looking for answers, leaving her signature in the lobby.  Her father, [[Joseph Adama]] - in search of Tamara - entered the nightclub with [[Emmanuelle]], inadvertently drawing attention to himself and becoming the target for Cerberus' questioning.  Refusing to even hazard a guess, Adama was ejected from the club.  However, upon discovering Tamara's signature in the lobby, Adama used [[amp]] and forced his way back into the club, opening fire on the patrons.  Adama held a weapon to Cerberus' head and forced him to give him information on Tamara, though the host knew very little. 

Mysteries' happy hour was on Wednesdays {{CAP|Ghosts in the Machine}}.

The Mysteries nightclub location was created through extensive digital environment work by visual effects artist [[Farrah Welch]] during Spring 2010 production. The original practical set was deemed insufficient for the intended scenes, leading to a comprehensive replacement of the virtual environment.<ref group="production" name="welch_portfolio_gallery_mysteries_theater_replacement">{{cite_web|url=https://farrahwelch.com/gallery/mysteries.php#:~:text=This%20scene%20was%20shot%20on%20a%20very%20uninteresting%20set|title=Digital Artist: Gallery - New Cap City Mysteries Theater|author=Farrah Welch|publisher=Farrah Welch Digital Portfolio|accessdate=August 8, 2025}}</ref>

Welch created an early 1900s theater extension while preserving the lower portion of the building where actors performed their scenes. The adjacent structure was entirely replaced with a period-appropriate pawn shop, both designed to establish the historical atmosphere characteristic of New Cap City's bygone era aesthetic.<ref group="production" name="welch_portfolio_gallery_mysteries_theater_design">{{cite_web|url=https://farrahwelch.com/gallery/mysteries.php#:~:text=I%20created%20an%20early%201900s%20extension%20to%20the%20theater|title=Digital Artist: Gallery - New Cap City Mysteries Theater|author=Farrah Welch|publisher=Farrah Welch Digital Portfolio|accessdate=August 8, 2025}}</ref> The lighting design was specifically developed to support the eventual conversion to nighttime scenes, maintaining visual continuity with the club's nocturnal atmosphere as depicted in the narrative.
