"SCIENCE" | |
Zeta Research Station is the asylum's science-themed floating metal deathtrap, situated a good distance east of the Shuttle Bay and Cargo and accessible via a shuttle that docks on the west end of the Shuttle Bay. It's sort a mini-asylum for the Research Director and their posse of Scientists, except the halls actually end somewhere, so very few people ever actually go mad from simply wandering these halls. Unfortunately, there's pretty of other things that would drive most people insane. Like:
- Electricity casually synthesizing into matter.
- Dark and mysterious forces man was simply never meant to know, much less even attempt to control.
- Eldritch "music".
- Horrors that await behind every teleportation.
- Inscrutable beings from eons ago, whose spirits originate from beyond the planes of known space.
- The heart of an ancient artificial being that speaks a black tongue rich in madness.
- A door...that will never open.
Yet, in the middle of it all, the scientists sleep happy. Their dormitory/breakroom is smack-dab is middle of all this reality-breaking corruption, and the Research Director even keeps their pet space bee Heisenbee here, happily oblivious and ignorant. The fact that they have to break down a window or hack open a Security-access door to even get to their office them doesn't dismay them one bit.
