Pearl City, even though it was a relatively safe place, was also heavily guarded. Especially around the commercial district, armed guards were aplenty.

They served as keepers of the peace but they were also there for a more psychological element. In a post-apocalyptic society integrity came in short supply and it was up to Pearl City to show it's upstanding morals and laws. If they didn't they would be no better than Lady Leisure or worse, Pirate Cove.

The Hangar itself was a large hall that once you entered tossed a cool and pleasant shade on your shoulders and the asphalt under your feet didn't feel boiling hot. Once your eyes had adjusted to the absence of sunlight you could see rows upon rows of stalls where scavangers and traders tried to haggle with people from all over. from rich to dirt-poor, the economy was at work.

Keiki experienced this first hand when a woman tried to beckon him to her stall to look at some old pre-war bits and bobs.
