The layout is similar to what had been present in Moorecroft:
The hospital, while it looks ordinary on the outside and the levels above ground, does go far deeper than it appears to. The main elevator's shaft goes deep down, several stories below the surface.
Between Accelerator's abilities to read vectors, Connor's detective skills, and Clint's... ability to annoy everything in sight, the crew will be able to make it below the surface to the levels that house Aurora herself. The first few floors are relatively empty; a few companion bots meander through hallways, carrying various pieces of equipment with them, but they don't seem to pay the others much attention. Connor and Accelerator may be able to notice that these companion bots are off the network; they aren't under Aurora's control. Instead, they're following a set of tasks given to them before they had been brought online: to keep everything up and functioning, regardless of anything else going on. A few of them will be throughout most of the floors!
While the first few floors appear to be mostly empty, the deeper they go, the more complex the floor layouts become. The fifth floor down is filled with miscellaneous pieces of buildings that match the residents of Etraya's home worlds, though the bots who would generally be working on constructing them are absent. The eighth floor is a mess of mechanical wiring, and where walls had been on previous floors are towers of computers. Some appear to be alien, and all of them are hooked into the same network Aurora utilizes.
Once they reach this floor, Accelerator will find his connection to Aurora's network severed. If he doesn't have his backup computer on him, this may be as far as he's able to venture.
Connor will be able to connect to these computers, but if he does, they will begin transferring enough data through to him to cause him to short-circuit. Given Connor's already experienced this with Aurora's more accessible terminal, we're running with the assumption he'll choose not to do this!
Following the hallways of the eighth floor, they'll find a room full of companion bot parts. Most of the machines that had been working to construct them have stopped, leaving many half-built.
However, among those half-constructed companion bots, they will find several that don't match the same functionality or appearance of the companion bots. Instead, it seems Aurora has been taking some cues from Connor's own build, and has begun constructing a few that appear more human-like, using some data she's managed to collect from Connor to create biocomponents of her own.
But only most the machines have stopped their construction, not all of them. It's back towards this experimental area where one of the machines continues trying to piece together an android by itself, despite it lacking the reach to grab most of the parts it needs.
Below it is a half-built android whose appearance closely matches the appearance of Aurora's hologram. Also disconnected from the network, this android is missing the necessary pieces to get it up and running (including the entire lower half of its body) but most of these pieces can be found nearby, as can a power source to help power it up - if they choose to do so.
From floors below, other companion bots will make their way up from the inside of the elevator shaft. These bots are connected to the network, and will answer Accelerator, Clint, and Connor's entry to areas they are not permitted with hostility. Some of these bots were built for combat purposes, and will be difficult to remove from the equation.
Should they choose to explore lower floors, they'll find the oxygen levels in their environment decrease the lower they get. The tenth floor is the lowest Accelerator and Clint will be able to reasonably get to without taking a supply of oxygen along with them.
The hallways extend out from the elevator on this floor, but no doors are visible down either hallway. If they choose to explore further down the halls, they must decide to go left or right as a team.
