Hack-o-torium
This room looks like an astromech spewed its guts all over place, as each nook and cranny is filled with odd electrical devices, wires, resistors, etc. You hear the busy street traffic below.

A simple but well crafted wooden staircase is here.

A large wooden table resides near the giant windows.

On The large wooden table is a bottle (closed) (in which is a clear brown liquid).
