This used to be a major research facility for cutting-edge experimentation, offering convenient conditions for high-risk experiments conducted between the shuttles, laboratories, and the greenhouse. It is currently closed off for some reason.
The broad circular platform connects the laboratory and the access passage, where life converges and the future with infinite possibilities is nurtured.
The place lifeforms are created: It is said that there are thousands of creatures in the world with different temperaments, but they are all conceived in the food bowl.
This terminal is equipped with ultraremote sensing technology. There is only one person in the contact list: Ruan Mei.
Will Ruan Mei really take your call? You're a little curious.
Send a call request to Ruan Mei.
A blurry projection materializes in front of you. You seem to have come across this woman's portrait somewhere at the space station.
Ruan Mei's Projection: Hello, my name is Ruan Mei... I'm not one for introductions. It's nice to meet you.
Ruan Mei's Projection: I have already ventured to a deeper and more mysterious corner of the universe, where communication is difficult. It depends on luck whether you can reach me.
A cold electronic voice notifies you, "You have been transferred to the automated response system. Please press the communication key to make your selection."
(Press the Communication I button.)
(Proceed to a random set of dialogue)
(Press the Communication II button.)
(Proceed to a random set of dialogue)
(Shut down the terminal.)
Ruan Mei's Projection: The research is still ongoing. Drop me a line if you need anything.
Ruan Mei's Projection: Bye.
Forget it. Let's not disturb her.
(Dialogue Set #1)
Beep... Beep...
A cold electronic voice notifies you, "The user you are calling is out of the service zone."
The call doesn't go through.
Ruan Mei's Projection: The research is still ongoing. Drop me a line if you need anything.
Ruan Mei's Projection: Hello. People rarely dial this number. Are you a member of the Genius Society? Or a space station researcher?
Do you remember me?
Ruan Mei's Projection: Oh. Of course, (Trailblazer). I remember your smile, fear, temperature, and eyes.
Ruan Mei's Projection: I remember all the snippets of memories we shared. Tiny details that flow like little streams make up the world.
I seem to have forgotten something about us.
Ruan Mei's Projection: Hmm... Is that so? (Trailblazer), it seems that the Anti-Truth Serum is working.
Ruan Mei's Projection: At this stage, you'll get to savor its base note. It's smooth and sweet, isn't it? That's what I'm hoping for you to experience.
Ruan Mei's Projection: Don't worry. The bad stuff will fall into slumber, and then we can create a new story. There's no need to feel regret or sorry...
Will I see you again?
Ruan Mei's Projection: Hmm... Did you make this call to get the answer to this question?
Ruan Mei's Projection: We'll meet again, if you wish. It's because... we have new stories to create.
That's all I have to ask.
Ruan Mei's Projection: The research is still ongoing. Drop me a line if you need anything.
What kind of person would leave a Life Incubator on a pile of junk like this?
So, it was you after all. You recall an episode featuring the Insighter here and your mind automatically relaxes.
Your gaze at the throne subconsciously softens. This is a little secret between you and the Insighter, and you bury it away somewhere in a warm, fuzzy corner of your heart.
Large Display
(Investigate any of the large screens in the shuttle area, southwest of the Pharmaceutical Room Space Anchor)
Investigate
(If the player's active character is short)
You stand on tiptoe, trying to read the data and theories on the screen. Yet, within your vision exist only blank walls.
You are left frustrated by those profound theories which seem unreachable by average people. The walls are blank, just like your mind when you are spacing out. Your thoughts are drifting away...
Suddenly, realization dawns on you. Why make futile efforts to prove theories when you should in fact make the laws of the universe yield to you?
(If the player's active character is tall)
You thought you could easily read all the data and theories on the screen with your height. However, when you get to your feet, you find to your utter consternation how small you are.
You are puzzled as to why the screen is hung so high up in the space station. At the same time, your thoughts begin to wander...
You snap out of your boundless imagination and realize what you have peeked is merely the tip of the iceberg of the entire space station's theoretical results... The realization leaves you in awe of the space station.
"Exclusive release with regular updates!" Information about the upcoming sale of Herta's manuscripts is silently displayed on the advertising bot.
The network connection of the space station terminal has been fixed, but the repair of the advertising bot's audio system is nowhere on the agenda.
You are starting to miss Herta's voice, and you wonder whether she can really manage "regular updates" for her manuscript.
Canned Product Ad
Investigate
"New product in the market! Everything can be canned!" An advertisement for a canned product is silently displayed on the advertising bot. Its audio system has yet to be fixed.
You scrutinize the "Everything can be canned!" part of the advertisement and suspect it to have some association with the Joy Filtration Set Curio, since they are both about cans.
Eco-friendly Food Ad
Investigate
"Customize your eco-friendly lifestyle!" An advertisement for an environmental-friendly food product is silently displayed on the advertising bot. Its audio system has yet to be fixed.
Noticing the Department of Ecology logo on the advertisement, you wonder whether you can get some samples of the product from their researchers when you return to the master control zone...
Leafy greens, which are considered repulsive and backwards foods on some planets, are a delicacy here.
"Don't take this off!" A note by the Department of Ecology is attached to the metal frame.
"This area is under surveillance. Look with your eyes, not your hands." Is this warning meant for you? Judging from the plants growing wildly in the cultivated field, the sign has been here for quite some time. Surely you are overthinking.
Incubator
(Standard dialogue)
Investigate
The Department of Ecology keeps the grown plants in low-temperature, dry, and airtight containers to ensure long-term preservation and vitality.
The plants in the incubator look familiar, as they closely resemble an advertising image of a food product from the IPC. You are amazed by the Department of Ecology's ability to rake in extra income.
The plant incubator has been operating normally since the evacuation of the researchers.
Incubation Jar
(Standard dialogue)
Investigate
Large green plants are grown in the incubation jar. You wonder whether they need to absorb starlight.
Although the plants in the incubation jar are only germinating, they are already of a staggering size. You wonder how tall they can grow into.
It seems that the odd plants are unable to absorb starlight. You lean in closer to the incubation jar for a closer look. To your surprise, you hear the sound of talking. You wonder if they might be the root of some chatty plants found within the space station.
Ruan Mei's Desk
(Note: Disappears after the first interaction)
Investigate
(Molten Cheese Tart and Green Bean Paste teamed up with various creatures nurtured by Ruan Mei and wrote her a letter.)
(Translation: "Walk your own path, Ruan Mei! We'll always support you!")
Monitor
(Standard dialogue)
Investigate
After carefully reading the pop-up notification that reminds you to submit the weekly data report, you fumble for the button to turn off the screen but fail to locate it.
Since the terminal network of the space station was fixed, more and more researchers have chosen to work from home. The long queues in front of some terminals can no longer be seen.
With the extremely high resolution of the screen, every data label is clear. You start missing the era of low resolution.
Shuttle Display
Investigate
The still image on the screen appears to be the route map for the space station shuttle buses. Will there still be passengers for them to pick up? You doubt it.
Experimental Pod
(Standard dialogue)
Investigate
The sealed cylindrical experimental pod is something you have only seen in movies.
The sealed pod is used to conduct various biological research at the space station and was once used to isolate dangerous substances. You wonder what kind of stuff it has contained.
You press your cheeks against its icy surface and peek inside, only to see your own reflection under the lights. You and the empty experimental pod gaze at each other.
Cryosleep Pod
(Standard dialogue)
Investigate
The cryosleep pods, when not in use, are tools to maintain the image of the space station.
Seeing the empty cryosleep pod, you suppose the researcher once inside has been properly accommodated.
Unfortunately, fairy tales aren't a thing in the world of science, and you find no legendary Sleeping Beauty in the cryosleep pod.
Surveillance Monitor
The overall station surveillance system has been operating normally since the evacuation of the researchers.
A line at the bottom of the screen catches your attention: "System is waiting to be re-activated. Please update the iris information promptly."
F2 Balcony
(Standard dialogue)
Investigate
As you look down, a strong sense of crisis creeps up your spine to the back of your head. You clench your fists in silence.
You give the area below a scan. It is the most terrifying place in the entire seclusion zone, but you are not scared. Nothing can be more fearsome than yourself.
Rumor has it that there are untold secrets hidden in the area below and mysterious monsters have been sighted. The more you think about it, the more you realize that this space station is not as "normal" as outsiders think.
F3 Desk
(Standard dialogue)
Investigate
The genius' manuscripts are scattered here. Can one be a genius too if one can understand their contents? Your mind starts to wander...
The genius' manuscripts are scattered over the desk. You try picking them up, but the pages won't budge. What kind of weighty knowledge do the manuscripts carry? You have no means to find out...
The remaining pages of a manuscript are scattered all over the desk. In your opinion, the situation calls for a meowing desk cleaning expert. Will that sudden thought become your inspiration for research? You have no means to find out...

Listen
Ruan Mei's Staunch Creation: I heard that he figured out how to go far away...
Ruan Mei's Bewildered Creation: Not just that, he's the only one of us that can actually talk.
Ruan Mei's Staunch Creation: Are you looking for him too? I heard he left not long ago.
Ruan Mei's Staunch Creation: We should've bounced from this place ages ago. Staying here is just a waste of life!

Ruan Mei's Disdainful Creation: This guy talks so much. Just looking at him gives me a headache.
Ruan Mei's Excited Creation: Don't say that. It's been to so many places on the space station and has broad knowledge. Plus... Ms. Ruan Mei favors it.
Ruan Mei's Disdainful Creation: Bah, I don't believe it. You don't know, do you? This guy's name is "Molten Cheese Tart," is incredibly uncultured, but likes to pretend that it's seen the world. Hmph...
(Approach the creations, idle text)
Both of Ruan Mei's Timid Creations: It's scary outside.

Ruan Mei's Gentle Creation: I heard that Wubbie saying that every one of the researchers shares the same surname. So have you decided what Wen to call yourself?
Ruan Mei's Curious Creation: Do you mean... the model that Joseph... "summoned"?
Ruan Mei's Gentle Creation: Yes. I heard it lives above our heads...

Breeding Ground
Investigate
Send a call request to Ruan Mei.
(Shut down the terminal.)
Do you remember me?
