BioScience terminal[]

This wall-mounted Institute terminal is located on the northeastern side of the BioScience atrium, inside the observation room. There is another terminal with the same name and header (BioScience terminal 2D) in the same room, but they are distinct and have different entries.

Our Special Guest Has Arrived[]

Transcript

Now that our guest of honor is here, I want to remind everyone to be polite, accommodating and welcoming. It's not often we receive visitors from the surface, and this occasion is more special than most.

I know I can count on all of you to extend a hand of friendship and greet our visitor with the utmost hospitality. Let's embrace this exciting event and make the best first impression we possibly can.

Power Conservation[]

Transcript

When we first implemented the new power efficiency guidelines, I was proud at how well we were able to meet those standards with only a minimal impact on our productivity. It was a daunting challenge, but we rose to meet it.

Lately, however, we've been getting lax in our habits. Too often I'm finding lights and equipment left on when they shouldn't be, and the environmental settings have been changed without my authorization.

Let's re-dedicate ourselves to doing what's right for the needs of the Institute as a whole. After all, this isn't just our home, it's a home for the future generations who will carry on the great work of building a better future.

Synth Zoology - The Next Step[]

Transcript

I have some exciting news to share with all of you. Father has approved the next phase of my proposed synth zoology initiative, and I'm already in the process of setting up a schedule for the initial prototyping phase.

As has always been the case, this is a low-priority project, but those of you who find yourselves with free time are welcome to contribute. I'll need to make a few preliminary decisions, not the least of which is what kind of creature we'll want to replicate.

I don't have to tell you how eager I am to begin, and I can't wait to see what amazing things we can do given our recent advances in synth development.

BioScience control room terminal[]

This wall-mounted Institute terminal only appears during A House Divided. It replaces the previously listed BioScience terminal and is located in the exact same place. After the quest is completed the previous terminal will return.

SZI Phase 2 Development[]

Transcript

Synth Zoological InititiaveIn-game spelling, punctuation and/or grammar Phase 2 Development Journal

Initial thoughts...

What to create? We've engineered creatures that inhabit the sky and the land... the next logical step is a creature of the sea.

The greatest challenge remains data collection. Accurate measurements, behavioral data, life cycle, habitat, etc.

Might Nahant have something useful? Note to self: request that we allocate a scavenger team to that area.

So which aquatic creature makes a good candidate. Start with size. Nothing too large, nothing too small.

Most promising candiates: genus delphinus, genus Carcharhinus.

On-site habitat will be a logistical challenge. Expansion of Bioscience likely necessary, including large water tank. Many logistical challenges to implement, Facilities division likely to oppose this.

Have to pitch this as the first step in a broader plan: What else can go in the aquatic habitat? Can we grow food there? What other experiments could we do? Could we develop underwater synth models to carry out seabed salvage operations? Probably far-fetched - need to work on this more.

Will table this journal for the time being, focus on other priorities until I can come up with more reasons that we'll benefit from the aquatic habitat. Can still gather data in the meantime.

Warwick Homestead Initiative[]

Mission Statement[]

Transcript

The Warwick Homestead Initiative was conceived to facilitate field testing of various genetically-modified specimens in the unique climate of the Commonwealth. It is hoped that we gain insight into the effects of trace radiation on the growth and developments of said specimens.

We of the BioScience division are in full agreement on the following hypothesis: subjected to the proper levels of ambient radiation and soil ph such as those found in the exceptionally fertile soil at Warwick Homestead, our modified seed specimens are likely to exhibit accelerated growth rate and a two-fold increase in size.

Project Implementation[]

Transcript

Stage 1:
Using genetic manipulation, we will develop a unique breed of Cucurbitaceae with similar characteristics to those commonly farmed in the Commonwealth.

Stage 2:
Acquire Roger Warwick, patriarch of Warwick Homestead, and conduct a series of intensive interrogation sessions to learn all we can about his life and family.

Stage 3:
With the intelligence gathered in Stage 2, create a synth replica of Roger Warwick and embed the unit on-site at Warwick Homestead to oversee the operation directly. SRB will handle logistics of this aspect of the initiative.

Stage 4:
Begin covert deliveries of prototype seed batches for planting.

Stage 5:
Collect observational data from embedded unit.

Stage 6:
When sufficient data has been collected, retrieve synth unit and specimens for lab study. Purge all surface evidence of the initiative.

Behavioral Anomaly Report[]

Transcript

Director Holdren,

Here are the details you requested re: the gorilla behavioral anomalies.

- A total of 16 incidents of heightened aggression have been documented.

- BioScience personnel who witnessed these events, myself included, would categorize the level of aggression displayed as extreme and dangerous.

- In all, six synth handlers have been destroyed by gorilla attacks.

- As for what triggers these behavioral changes, I speculate that it's a reaction to perceived conflict. Several attacks followed heated arguments that took place within earshot of the pen. Another occurred soon after the recent SRB security sweep.

- It seems clear there's a fault in the behavioral model. I doubt it can be corrected. I know you're against it, but I think we have to consider destroying them.

- Failing that, I recommend that all contact with the gorillas be limited to synth units only. BioScience personnel should not be permitted to come into contact. The risk is simple too great.

- Karlin

FEV lab entry terminal[]

There are two of these wall-mounted Institute terminals. The first is located on the northern wall next to the laser grid barring entry to the FEV lab. The second is located on the western wall of Institute BioScience, before the door to the FEV lab. Only the first is locked, with a Master-difficulty lock.

BioScience control room terminal[]

This unused terminal is completely identical to the fourth terminal listed on this page.

Bioscience security terminal[]

This unused wall terminal is identical to the in-game "Bioscience terminal" used to control the door between BioScience and the concourse, but it includes one additional door command option which would be used when The Nuclear Option is active. It also appears as a generic terminal rather than an Institute terminal.

Hydroponics control terminal[]

This unused wall terminal is a copy of the BioScience systems access holotape, with the header being the only visual difference; see the holotape's page for further details.
