== Premise ==
After a long journey on [[The Skeld]], the [[Crewmate]]s decided to spend some time at the [[MIRA]] Headquarters. Surely there aren't as many [[Impostor]]s there...

=== Features ===

</ref> At first, MIRA HQ was paid to have the ability to [[host]] a game on it, though other players could join for free, but later the price was adjusted to completely free.

== Description ==
MIRA HQ is the main headquarters of the [[MIRA]] organization, made for spatial studies purposes. The headquarters is a cluster of buildings, whose height reaches the stratosphere. The buildings make extensive use of transparent materials, allowing it to be possible to view the outside from inside the building from a huge altitude. The map itself takes place on the 1-11th floor of the headquarters,<ref group="note" name="HQ floor unknown">In a hallway between [[Launchpad]] and [[MedBay]], you can see a MIRA HQ banner saying "1-11". It is unknown whether there are 1 to 11 floors on the headquarters, or if it takes place on a 1-11th floor.</ref> featuring a launch area that allows [[dropship]]s to land and dock for maintenance purposes. The floor also houses most of the headquarters' communication and administration systems, as well as the location of the reactor, which powers the entire building. It is also responsible for the site's oxygen generation and defense system, being armed with a long-range laser cannon used to destroy meteors in the balcony. The floor is equipped with a canteen, which has several tables and a drinks machine, although the kitchen is not visible. The rooms on the floor are connected by three corridors that join, which are equipped with sensors linked to the office. There is also a changing room that houses the suits used by the crew and a decontamination system, possibly due to the radiation emitted by the reactor. The floor houses the headquarters laboratory, where materials found during space expeditions are analyzed. It is also the place where all data received by the crew is sent to headquarters through communications. The floor has all ventilations connected, which allows the movement of [[engineer]]s and possible [[impostor]]s.

Around the building, there are several weather balloons that receive weather data, which can be received and accessed by a computer on the right side of the balcony.

== Locations ==
=== [[Launchpad]] ===
Launchpad is the first spawn point for players until the first [[Emergency meeting|meeting]]. The [[dropship]] is perched, along with several boxes, a diagnostic computer, another device to fill the engines, and a [[Vent (object)|vent]] near the dropship.

Decontamination is a long hallway that runs from Locker Room to a hallway that separates Reactor and Laboratory. A vent is situated at the bottom-right corner of the room, so [[Impostor]]s can perform a [[Kill|murder]] in the room. The player must [[use]] a stand next to the [[doors]] to open them. Extreme caution is required, as The Impostor can perform kills and use vents without being noticed.
The crew members are decontaminated before going to the corridor that connects Reactor and Laboratory. It consists of an isolated room with yellow floors and black floors that flash blue, in addition to vaporizers and two doors that players can open by pressing the button on the sides. When they enter, the door closes, and the place emits steam. Several seconds after that, the other door opens.

== Features ==
=== Abilities ===
==== Admin ====
The [[Admin (ability)|Admin]] [[ability]] can be accessed through the administration table in the [[Admin (location)|Admin]] room. It administrates 13 [[locations]].

==== Doorlog ====
The [[Doorlog]] ability can be accessed through the computer in the [[Communications]] room.

=== Objects ===
==== Doors ====
On MIRA HQ, there are no [[doors]] that [[Impostor]]s can [[Sabotage]], and the only doors are in [[Decontamination]] and [[Balcony]]. The doors in Decontamination appear as light gray doors with glass across their center. The doors in Balcony appear as transparent glass doors. The Decontamination doors are typically closed, but may be opened by [[using]] the button nearby, as long as no player is being decontaminated. The Balcony doors will open automatically when a player gets close to them. Any sprite on top of the Balcony doors can be seen, regardless of vision. There are pairs of Decontamination and Balcony doors.

==== Vents ====
On MIRA HQ, vents appear as rounded, rectangular grates with five vertical slits across the middle and a screw hole in each of the four corners. The vents are interconnected, meaning a single vent system on the map links to every location.

* The vent in Admin links to the vents in [[Greenhouse]] and [[Hallway]].
* The vent in Balcony links to the vents in Hallway and [[MedBay]].
* The vent in Decontamination links to the vents in [[Laboratory]], [[Locker Room]], and [[Reactor]].
* The vent in Greenhouse links to the vents in Admin and [[Office]]
* The vent in Hallway links to the vents in Admin and Balcony.
* The vent in Laboratory links to the vents in Decontamination, Office, and Reactor.
* The vent in [[Launchpad]] links to the vents in Reactor and Locker Room
* The vent in Locker Room links to Decontamination, Launchpad, and MedBay.
* The vent in MedBay links to the vents in Balcony and Locker Room.
* The vent in Office links to the vents in Admin, Greenhouse, and Laboratory.
* The vent in Reactor links to the vents in Decontamination, Laboratory, and Launchpad.

=== Sabotages ===
MIRA HQ features the [[Comms Sabotaged]], [[Fix Lights]], [[Oxygen Depleted]], and [[Reactor Meltdown]] sabotages. Impostors may Sabotage Communications to cause Comms Sabotaged, Office to cause Fix Lights, Greenhouse to cause Oxygen Depleted, and Reactor to cause Reactor Meltdown. Comms Sabotaged and Oxygen Depleted are resolved in two locations (Comms Sabotaged: Office and Communications; Oxygen Depleted: Greenhouse and an unnamed hallway linking Launchpad). The countdown of the Oxygen Depleted and Reactor Meltdown {{C|Critical Sabotages|critical sabotages}} are 45 seconds.

== Trivia ==
* MIRA HQ is set on a tall skyscraper, a part of an organization called [[MIRA]]. The [[Crewmate]]s had possibly come back from space on [[The Skeld]], from the rest of their adventures.
* [[Process Data]] is a continuation of [[Upload Data]], seen on The Skeld, [[Polus]], and [[The Airship]] as it processes the data sent by the Crew on the other four [[maps]].
** Additionally, MIRA HQ was referenced on these maps with the title "Headquarters" in Upload Data.
* MIRA HQ is the only map without [[Security (ability)|Security]], but in return, it is the only map with [[Doorlog]]s.
* The [[Vent (object)|vents]] on MIRA HQ are interconnected, meaning that An [[Impostor]] or [[Engineer]] can use them to travel around the map more efficiently, unlike other maps. This makes vents a very efficient mode of transportation for Impostors, as they can [[kill]] someone and appear pretty much anywhere else on the map.
* In [[Office]], there is a poster displaying ''{{Iw|hs|The Henry Stickmin Collection}}''. The {{Iw|hs|Henry Stickmin series|''Henry Stickmin'' series}} is also developed by [[Innersloth]], specifically one of the staff, [[Marcus Bromander]].
** The NR<sup>g</sup> drink can be seen in the vending machine in the [[Buy Beverage]] task, along with the Don Dew drink from the MLG sequence.
* During [[Halloween]] 2019 and 2020, The Skeld and MIRA HQ received visual changes, giving it some Halloween decorations such as webs, spiders, bats, pumpkins, candles, etc. Players can also set their devices' dates to October 31, 2019, or October 31, 2020 and then play the game to get this version of the maps.
* MIRA HQ is the smallest map in ''[[Among Us]]''. The largest is [[The Airship]].<ref name="size">{{Cite web|url = https://twitter.com/PuffballsUnited/status/1320787605999370240|title = Map 4 is looking to be bigger than Polus.|site = Twitter|publisher = PuffballsUnited|date = October 26, 2020|access-date = November 18, 2020}}</ref>

* In Practice mode, the controlled character spawns in [[Cafeteria]] instead of [[Launchpad]].
* MIRA HQ is the only map which has no unique sound effect or music during [[ejection]].
