Atmospheric Conversion Centers (a.k.a. Atmospheric Processors) are | Atmospheric Conversion Centers (a.k.a. Atmospheric Processors) are enormous facilities that "suck in air, treat it, then belch it back out". They are supposed to deal with the steady increase of toxins in the atmosphere of Oni's world (see [[BioCrisis]]). Every major city has its air cleaned by one or several such facilities; hundreds of ACCs have been built around the world. | ||

{{C|7}} and {{C|8}} are in fact two parts of one mission. The transition is essentially seamless, however the player's inventory is reset due to engine limitations, the same as between {{C|4}} and {{C|5}}. | |||

There are a couple of references to atmospheric processing other than at the ACC.

"I'd better check the data consoles to see if I can figure out what it is." - a typical gameplay hint, which actually leads to information on the [[Deadly Brain]]. Thus the puzzling "engines of evil" are apparently unrelated to the atmospheric processing equipment, which Konoko identified by herself (in the original Oni, it is not clear what part of the facility she is referring to in either case). | "I'd better check the data consoles to see if I can figure out what it is." - a typical gameplay hint, which actually leads to information on the [[Deadly Brain]].

Rather ambiguous and untidy references here, mostly valuable for the number of ACCs and control stations worldwide (Tertiary Stage). 417 ACCs means the population is mostly concentrated in today's million-plus cities. | Rather ambiguous and untidy references here, mostly valuable for the number of ACCs and control stations worldwide (Tertiary Stage). 417 ACCs means the population is mostly concentrated in today's million-plus cities. | ||

In a possible solution to the conundrum, [[Quotes/Speech#One way out|this unused dialogue]] indicates that the ACCs are ''underground''. This would keep the waste separated from the inhabited area of the city, even if it accumulates at the site of the ACC. Judging from the end of {{C8}}, the clean air has to be driven by turbines to its destination instead of simply vented into the open air as one would expect if the ACC is at ground level (one could imagine that pipes connected to these turbines run up through the city's foundations). Note that ambient street sounds (police sirens, car horns) can be heard in {{C7}} even though no city is visible, adding further evidence that the city being served by the ACC is much closer than you'd think from your surroundings. | In a possible solution to the conundrum, [[Quotes/Speech#One way out|this unused dialogue]] indicates that the ACCs are ''underground''.
