{"slug":"da-quest-epic-labrat-quest-08","asset_path":"/Game/Gameplay/Quests/Asylum/DA_Quest_Epic_Labrat_Quest_08","name":"Metamorphosis","briefing":"There is more happening inside Lakevale Sanctuary than the drug operation uncovered previously. Return to the asylum, investigate the LAF's activities, and find out what else Dr. Khae has been hiding. Report your findings to Lab Rat.","accept_message":"I've been looking through the information you recovered from Lakevale, and something about that place has been bothering me.\r\n\r\nDr. Khae wasn't simply overseeing the drug production. He had his own laboratory and was experimenting on patients, apparently without anyone being particularly eager to ask questions. That makes me wonder what else he might have been doing there.\r\n\r\nThe LAF have been guarding Lakevale since the Event, so let's start with them. If anything unusual has happened there recently, somebody must have documented it. Go back to the asylum and search the areas occupied by the soldiers. See what you can find about their activities there and report back to me.\r\n\r\nI have a feeling there's more to Lakevale than we uncovered last time.","debriefing":"Oh, you have no idea what you've brought me. I've been going through Khae's research, and this is... incredible.\r\n\r\nHe was right about one thing. These aren't mutations. At least, not in any conventional sense. The tissue isn't simply growing out of control. It's reorganizing itself, creating entire biological structures where they have absolutely no reason to exist. And Khae noticed something even stranger. The same patterns appeared in completely different subjects. He even removed tissue from one of them, and it continued developing independently of the body. Whatever process started inside those people didn't need them anymore.\r\n\r\nI've taken a preliminary look at the sample you brought me, and I think Khae was asking the wrong question. He wanted to know what was determining the final form. I'm not convinced there is any. What if this process isn't trying to turn the tissue into anything specific? What if it's continuously searching for stable configurations? Building, rejecting, rebuilding... using whatever biological material is available until something works. That would explain the grotesque failures Khae documented. They may not be failures at all. They could simply be intermediate states in a process we don't understand.\r\n\r\nThis is extraordinary. Absolutely extraordinary. I'll need more time alone with the sample… You did excellent work.","vendor":"LabRat","region":"GroundZero","kind":"EpicQuest","type":"main","level":4,"tags":["Quests.CanBeShared","Quests.Level.4","Quests.Type.EpicQuest","Quests.For.Player","Vendor.LabRat","WorldRegion.GroundZero"],"location":{"x":110831.035521,"y":-37033.980241,"z":2522.100455,"radius":6000.0,"map_px":[5104.7998046875,3758.89990234375]},"chain":{"pos":2,"len":2},"prerequisites":[{"slug":"da-quest-epic-handshake-quest-08","name":"Controlled Substances"}],"unlocks":[],"other_requirements":[{"type":"AskAuthority","text":null}],"objectives":[{"key":"1","description":null,"visible":false,"fail_policy":"FailQuest","condition_type":"Survive","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"be2bf3d9","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"2","description":"Search the LAF-occupied areas at Lakevale Sanctuary for intel","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"InteractWithIntel","positions":[{"x":108517.613252,"y":-37480.196859,"z":2522.100455,"map_px":[5083.8,3754.8],"property":"AreaCenter"}],"items":[],"fingerprint":"f04eeca2","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"12","description":null,"visible":false,"fail_policy":"Optional","condition_type":"MapMarker","positions":[{"x":125064.744098,"y":-38625.862739,"z":1548.000986,"map_px":[5234.4,3744.4],"property":"AreaCenter"}],"items":[],"fingerprint":"d2a0ba44","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"3","description":"Search the isolation ward for patient records","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"InteractWithIntel","positions":[{"x":123364.53795,"y":-39278.879919,"z":2648.682648,"map_px":[5218.9,3738.5],"property":"AreaCenter"}],"items":[],"fingerprint":"997ddf7d","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"4","description":"Retrieve the analysis report and report back to Lab Rat","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"HandOver","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"b2b6d449","sub_objectives":[{"key":"4.5","description":"Locate the analysis report in the laboratory","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"PickUpItem","positions":[{"x":125064.744098,"y":-38625.862739,"z":1548.000986,"map_px":[5234.4,3744.4],"property":"SpawnPos"}],"items":[],"fingerprint":"ac156c7c","sub_objectives":[]}]},{"key":"6","description":"Retrieve the research notes and report back to Lab Rat","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"HandOver","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"4497458a","sub_objectives":[{"key":"6.10","description":"Locate the research notes in the morgue","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"PickUpItem","positions":[{"x":124150.179628,"y":-37599.535287,"z":1546.729952,"map_px":[5226.0,3753.8],"property":"SpawnPos"}],"items":[],"fingerprint":"38ab71ca","sub_objectives":[]}]},{"key":"9","description":"Retrieve the biological samples and report back to Lab Rat","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"HandOver","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"e5a7de4b","sub_objectives":[{"key":"9.11","description":"Gather biological samples from one of the subjects in the morgue","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[{"x":124478.187154,"y":-37927.096915,"z":1564.235395,"map_px":[5229.0,3750.8],"property":"Interactions.TargetPosition"},{"x":124718.849301,"y":-37905.659802,"z":1573.279265,"map_px":[5231.2,3751.0],"property":"Interactions.TargetPosition"}],"items":[{"slug":"is-quest-item-bio-samples-epic-labrat-08","name":"Biological Samples","is_key":false}],"fingerprint":"bec216a0","sub_objectives":[]}]}],"rewards":[],"penalties":[],"requisites":[],"keys_needed":[],"active":true}
