Input/Output Tower

The Input/Output Tower is a location within the Factory Complex on the world of Gametron in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story "Inside The Game". It is where Gametronians go to communicate with their Creators to receive instructions as well as spiritual insight. The Tower consists of two chambers: the main chamber in which Dyson, the guardian of the Factory Complex Tower, controls who is allowed to have access, and the Communication Chamber, in which the Gametronian stands on a platform and puts his disc above his head in a beam of light in order to have access to the communication beam.

In the story, Auron seeks out the Tower in order to communicate with his Creator to find out how to defeat Sarkamel in order to free Gametron from his control. With the help of Yori, he convinces Dyson to allow him communication access. Commander Razor tries to capture Auron while he was in the Input/Output Tower, but only managed to capture Dyson instead, as Auron and Yori had escaped while using a secret exit.

The Input/Output Tower is based on a structure of a similar name in Walt Disney's TRON.
