Beluga Whale Exhibit[edit]
Also referred to as the "Beluga Whale Arena," it is a two-story tall, broken and almost emptied basin, that holds the remains of Mary and Marty. Around the basin are several walkways, as well as a sitting area with benches to watch the show. An Armor Workbench is found in a small maintenance area on the southern end of the basin, on the second floor. A terminal with information about the exhibit can be accessed on the basin's outer western end, also on the second floor.
Southwest from the basin is a hallway with maintenance areas, containing a Weapons Workbench and Chemistry Station.

The first floor has some sitting benches, while the second floor has a lounging area in the southwestern corner. Rotund windows on both floors allow for an exceptional view on the activities in this lively basin.
