The Outpost is the main location for season two of Archive 81, located in The City. The Outpost is used as a base of operations for LMG's expedition into The City.

The Outpost is described as vast and shifting, with many hallways and strange rooms. It is unknown who created the building or why, but LMG is initially wary of it, sending a number of Weird People to investigate, before eventually using it as a base of operation.

Permanent Rooms[]

The Archive[]

Containing the entirety of LMG's tape library, The Archive is where Dan spends most of his work hours. It contains the shelves, a ladder (with wheels), a desk, and a chair for Dan to sit in while listening. There is also a catalogue for locating the tapes. It is unclear who catalogued and ordered the tapes, or set up the archive. As Dan's workspace, it is primarily for his use; other people are not supposed to hear the tapes or, it would seem, enter the archive, though Rat seems quite familiar with it.

Bathrooms[]

The outpost has several bathrooms. There are toilets, presumably showers, but no mirrors. It's unclear where the water comes from but probably not worth worrying about.

Bedrooms[]

We only hear Dan's room, which has a comfy-sounding bed. Other contents are unknown. Clara and Lou have their own rooms as well. Unclear if Rat does.

The Cafeteria[]

A large room with linoleum floor and a lot of ducts. There is a microwave, tables and chairs, and a large pile of unsorted food things (largely MREs).

Games Room[]

Unclear if there are any other contents aside from a PlayStation 2 and its games library, which contains the entire Jak and Daxter series.

The Meeting Room[]

A classroom complete with desks, squeaky chairs, and a whiteboard. The outpost team receives briefings in this room from the various managers.

The Radio Room[]

The room housing The Mother Radio. Dan takes the calls from it in here.

Staging Area[]

Meeting point and exit into The City. Dan is introduced to Clara and Lou in here, The two adventurers also do a lot of their preparation in here.

Storage Closet with Thousands of Blankets[]

No idea why that's there (but, if you ever need blankets).

Suit's Office[]

An office used by Suit and the LMG middle managers. There is a desk and chair, where Suit leaves their updates on the team's progress, and the various middle managers do paperwork. There is a window with blinds. There is a carving knife kept on the desk which Suit is unable to use.

Theramin Room[]

A room with aurora-like wisps near the ceiling. If you put your hand to them, you can play with them like a theramin. When Dan exposes his new hand to them, they play a song. As Leviathans seem to have their own songs, this may be for the Leviathan Rat is incubating in him, rather than Dan himself.

The Wallpaper Room[]

Room with some wallpaper in it.

Temporary Rooms[]

The outpost also contains a number of rooms which exist for an unknown period of time.

The Canary Room[]

A room that seems to go on forever, filled with canaries that don't sing. Rat has been here.
