Inside Dr. Gero's laboratory

The front door is a heavy steel double door, which is very high in resilience. Inside, the Shut Down Remote that disables the Androids in case of a rebellion is placed next to the door. The capsules which contains Android 19, Android 18, and Android 17 are lined up against the wall, while Android 16's capsule lays on the middle of the floor. The lab also contains a basement, where a Super Computer is placed and programmed to finish the creation of Cell as well as Android 15, Android 14, and Android 13.

In the present timeline, the lab is destroyed by Future Trunks in his attempt to prevent Android 18 and Android 17 from activating Android 16, but to no avail. The basement is later destroyed by Future Trunks and Krillin to prevent the completion of Present Cell. In the future timeline, Future Android 17 and Future Android 18 destroy the lab after they killed Future Dr. Gero one night, but the basement survives and Future Cell is completed.
