Encounter Conditions

Only if you've heard about the lab from the scientists or Boris

Initial Text

You find a room with a ton of computers lined up. Seems to be the testing lab you heard about.

Summary of Choices

1. Take the test - If you have Slags Cheatsheets or the Trauma Tech or a Biotech PDA Gain Slags Medical ID, otherwise nothing (but lose 1 energy)
2. Look at resources - Gain Chemistry recipes for liquified Eclipse AND Slags Antidote, or gain 4 XP Perception
3. Crack them open - (Only with salvaging tools or electrical kit equipped) Gain 8? of: capacitor array, circuit fragments, frayed cable, memory stick, microcapacitor, processor chip, thick cabling and 20 energy of Red Alert
4. Hack In - (Only with a free processor available) Leads to MBR Lab hacking
5. Wander off - Nothing

Choice Text and Results

Take the test

With Trauma Tech:

The test is surprisingly in depth, but you've learned enough from your trauma guide to slide through. Once you finish the test, the machine beeps several times and prints out a badge for you.

You found: Slags medical ID

Otherwise, if you have a Biotech PDA (doesn't need to be equipped):

You sit down to take the test. It's brutal, but in a stroke of insight, you pull out Boris's PDA.

Yup, answer file's right here. You speed through the rest of the test without skipping a beat.

The machine clicks and whirrs and prints out a new ID badge for you.

You found: Slags medical ID

Otherwise, if you have Slags Cheatsheets:

The test is terribly brutal and you don't think you're going to make it through. You glance around, see no one's watching, and use the cheat sheet you found.

With that in hand, it's a pretty simple matter. You pass and the machine prints out a new ID for you.

You found: Slags medical ID

If you have both Biotech PDA and Slags Cheatsheets, pick one of the above two results at random.

Otherwise:

Try as you might, the test thwarts you. It's brutal, to the extent that even knowing this stuff, you might have to cheat.

Look at resources

You read up on the techniques needed to treat patients from the Slags. Most of it doesn't apply to your life, but it is very interesting none-the-less.

You've earned 4 XP in Perception

Crack them open

You break down the testing computers into neat stacks of components. Somewhere in the distance, an alarm starts whooping.

You found: <8? of> capacitor array, circuit fragments, frayed cable, memory stick, microcapacitor, processor chip, thick cabling

You've gained 20 energy of Red Alert.

Remove this encounter for the day.
