SciLab

SciLab is a location from the MegaMan Battle Network series. It is as it's name suggests, a science laboratory. It is a huge complex with cutting edge technology. Many important creations were spawned in SciLab, like the NetNavis and PETs. It is the workplace of Yuichiro Hikari and his father Tadashi Hikari when he was alive. It is also home to the mother computer for Electopia. In MegaMan Battle Network 5, it is the base for Team Colonel or Team ProtoMan. It was attacked many times in attempts to sabotage the Net and steal technology.

In the series, Scilab changes location between each game. In the first game it is located in Government Complex. In BN 2 it is in the Center. MegaMan Battle Network 3 hosts it in its own building connected to the Metroline. In BN 4, Scilab does not make an appearance. It reappears in another building in Battle Network 5 and then isn't seen again in the final game.

Anime
In the anime, it basically serves the same purpose as it does in the game. Unlike the game version, dimensional area and synchro chip research is its main function. It later serves as the test bed for the dimensional generator, which is widely used throughout Stream, Beast and Beast+.

However, it's appearance is vastly different compared to its game counterpart.

It does not appear until the end of the first season, but is seen regularly throughout Axess, Stream, Beast, and Beast+.
