Protein Database

Item

Image Protein25.jpg
Description This database contains a full protein analysis for a creature that shouldn't exist outside of bad dreams or B-movie plots. Sadly, it doesn't give any easy answers, it just confirms that the creature shouldn't exist.

About the only easy out is that the results might point to the creature being cobbled together in a lab somewhere. Nobody's admitted to having that kind of technology, but rumors say the corps have had it for decades.

Effects

After the use messages above, get one of the following lines:

Some of it looks interesting, but there's nothing that seems immediately applicable.

Or, after 8-9 times? One time only.

You can see some of the reasons your samples break down when exposed to air so quickly. You should be able to preserve them a bit better now.
(Increases lake serpent sample drop rate?)

Or, after 15-16 times? One time only.

It doesn't make a lot of sense, but looking at the analysis there isn't any question: despite not being poisonous, the serpents have active venom glands. If you can extract them somehow, they're probably good for something.
(Unlocks serpent venom gland drops from Terrible Serpents if you have a Myers sampling kit equipped)

Or, after 25-26 times? One time only.

There are a few proteins in the serpents' stomachs that should preserve anything they've eaten. If these results are right, they barely break the food down at all. Huh.
(Increases partially digested fish drops from Terrible Serpents?)

Or, after 34-35 times?

There we go, the whole thing is nice and orderly now. For a creature as strange as that one, it's interesting how little is actually going on in its body.
(Gain +2 XP from fighting serpents?)

Or, after reaching the above level and then using with Burning Vision:

There we go, the whole thing is nice and orderly now. For a creature as strange as that one, it's interesting how little is actually going on in its body.

Huh. You're not sure why you didn't notice it before… past the simple protein signatures, there's a pattern burning its way through. It's hard to say what it means, but damned if it's not interesting.

(Unlock the ability to learn Serpent Pattern)

Or, after unlocking all the above results:

You've mined this vein pretty deep. If there's anything else to learn about these critters it's through hands-on experience and not protein analysis.
