lab update!
HEY ALL, in the spirit of the mod's update on player projects, Mippins and I are gonna work on getting the Lab it's own comm (like the Speakeasy, Guard, and Clinic!) but FIRST we're trying to make sure we have our ducks in a row regarding what the lab HAS and what it DOES. So if your character has contributed to the lab, built something, or added a resource/tool, please comment here! Below the cut is the original description, and I'll also add Alphys' contributions to keep stuff in line.
The original design of the lab is one large, open room; think of how an empty warehouse store might look, but at maybe a fourth of the size. The area is filled with tables, desks, chairs, and a whiteboard and chalkboard, wherein people have likely set up different stations (as per how many characters have set up residency/are in often, of which I have completely lost count). There are also a few, smaller rooms in the back: two supply closets and a slightly bigger closed-off kitchenette and lounge space (it's got a microwave and a fridge). There's a pull out couch that was dragged in there by the original creators as a god-given favor, so it absolutely doesn't match the decor and is like two years old. There's also a staircase to the roof for... roof stuff. I don't know, whatever the hell you wanna do up there. The walls are full of shelves, many of which have been converted to cabinets over the years, that hold anything characters would like to populate them with.
This was the BASIC structure when it was made by the original creators (our original Newt and Hermann!) nearly two years ago. SO NOW, let's figure out what it looks like. I'll go ahead and update this main post with the comments to have a consolidated area. Go ahead and fill out this form if you're part of the Lab AT ALL, even if you haven't added anything to the infrastructure- this is also to help figure out how many people are frequenting the lab also! Thanks ya'll!
Lab Contributions/People
Name: Alphys
Journal:sciencelizard
Do they frequent the lab?: Yes! She's there at least 5 days out of the week; more often now with waterworld making travel harder. She has a desk next to the computer close to the far wall from the door entry.
Have they added anything to the lab?: YES, Alphys has a lot so I'm making a list:

More people go here! Please feel free to let me know what you were imagining for your character in this space: this isn't a limiting thing, more of an organizational one. Thanks everyone!

sciencelizardDo they frequent the lab?: Yes! She's there at least 5 days out of the week; more often now with waterworld making travel harder. She has a desk next to the computer close to the far wall from the door entry.
Have they added anything to the lab?: YES, Alphys has a lot so I'm making a list:
- 1. The supercomputer. The supercomputer originally belonged to Newt and Hermann and came from an item rain in October of 2016. It's one of those old CRT monitors though it has an incredible amount of processing power and weighs enough that a few people would be required to lift it. It's been repaired a number of times and contains just about all of Alphys' research data, the (original) Newt's logs of the beginning of Hadriel for the first year, and a bunch of kaiju data. As per Sorrow and Alphys' chat in October 2017, it now runs on it's own generator power source (as to stop it from being hacked by the Null).
- 2. Null parts. Alphys collected a significant amount of defunct Null bodies during the last invasion, which have since been taken to pieces for scrap metal. She also is still in possession of three working arm guns (if hooked to an external power source), five broken (but mostly intact) processors, and two broken crowd disruption devices. Two of her previous processors were sacrificed to help repair Name, as well as a portion of the scrap metal. She's been using it primarily to study the Null's function and also to make small repairs to Name and a few other robots throughout the city. Since we're coming up on a year, this supply has lessened- let me know if other characters have been using it! She collected a LARGE amount of bodies and even trashed stuff was collected and sorted. It's primarily stored in the cabinets on the walls, but some of the less valuable stuff is just in piles. She keeps the guns and processors directly with her desk.
- 3: Tools! Alphys has a number of basic tools collected from various friends, gifts, and favors; feel free to assume the lab has a rather stocked toolbox of wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, and smaller metalworking tools. She also has a microscope from Hermann once upon a time.
- 4: General scrap metal. Before the Null came along, Alphys dug through many of the defunct spires (that were not fixed up) and raided the appliances there for metal, copper wire, and other useful materials. This supply is much more limited than the Null parts.
