Exterior door, labelled "Solarium Area". There is an unusual plant and perspex sculpture in the corridor. This is at the end of a standard corridor (and this is normally the travel tube door). We don't see it open, and when Koenig and the others enter there is a plain wall immediately behind them.

If the overall configuration of the room looks familiar, it is because it is a radical revamp of the Command Office (plan); although most of the side panels are changed, the floor plan is identical. The central pillar looks like a communications post, with a yellow "S" identification sign. The actual communications post, which normally stands on the raised platform, has a purple "S" sign (for security?).

Note the controls on either side of the sunbed.

The Solarium from Force Of Life. On this side wall there are 4 beds.

Steps lead down to a sunken area with four more beds, in a star shape around a central column.

Note the 4 side doors to the changing areas or perhaps saunas. Uniquely for Alpha, they are wood panelled.

This shot shows the double doors of the main entrance- you would expect access to be through the changing rooms. Note on either side of the doors the unusual concave corner units.

In this view up to the doors, a Mezzatessera table can be seen with a Toga chair

View of the "sun lamps". They seem to be conventional decorative lamp covers.

A pile of towels can be seen on a Tondara table. There's another Tondara table in another corner.

The power control for the room. Note the airbrush designs on the lighted wall panels.

The solarium in The Exiles and The Taybor. Note the Sorella lamps between the beds. It's the same sunbeds and sun-lamps as the Force Of Life Solarium Area. The beds are quite close together, with a wider gap where Taybor's gift falls. The controls between the beds seem to be the angled corners of the central beds in the Force of Life solarium.

By the door (alongside the vertical press and a dumb-bell rack) is a Melpomene hat stand. Also outside in the corridor is the perspex bubble canopy of a video screen.
