Liewen Laboratories

Site One

The Building

The Liewen Laboratories' main building can be found in a business district in Bavan. Its front entrance is a public entrance, open until about 7PM each evening, while its rear entrance is a staff-only entrance that can be entered any time with an authorized keycard.

Ground floor - lobby, meeting rooms, public records room

The first floor contains all of the lab's public areas. Entering through the front doors leads to the lobby. Some potted plants give a little color to the room, and on the front desk and some surrounding racks, people can find copies of science magazines, job application forms, and pamphlets describing the laboratory's history and Dr. Liewen's many achievements (with a section on the back explaining how to become a financial supporter).

In the center of the room is a desk with a receptionist willing to help with various inquiries. Here, one can request information about the lab's projects, submit a job application, volunteer to donate, etc. To the left is a hallway with several meeting rooms, and to the right is the public records room, where visitors may view records but may not remove them (it is permitted to make copies, however). Beyond the front desk is an elevator which can only be activated with an employee keycard.

Middle floors - employee workstations, laboratory equipment, etc

Each department has its own floor with individual workstations for each employee. Everyone gets a cubicle which provides some small amount of privacy, manuals explaining the uses of each major device in their department, and whatever tools they need. Larger or more expensive tools are kept in shared areas.

(Players of lab workers can feel free to decide what kind of equipment or facilities your character has at their disposal, so long as it isn't anything too anachronistic - everything but the RSDOS devices should be around 1950s level.)

Upper floor - director's office, security office

This floor includes the only two rooms inaccessible with a regular employee keycard.

The director's office is labeled with a small metal plaque bearing the name 'Light Yagami'. The interior of the office is neat and organized with files in appropriate cabinets, an open laptop on the desk, and various forms stacked neatly in a pile, most of them usually completed.

The security office contains records of keycard usage throughout the building, surveillance feeds, and alarm controls. Liewen Laboratories has what may be the most sophisticated security system in Ryslig... but unfortunately, it's been known to fail at detecting monsters with incorporeal forms.

In addition to the listed staff, there are numerous human scientists working in each department. There may also be other departments and positions besides those listed.

Working in the laboratory

- All workers receive a basic living wage.
- All workers get their own workstation and a keycard giving them access to most rooms in the lab.
- Hours are flexible; all that matters is that you complete the work assigned to you.
- So long as their assigned tasks are completed, workers are allowed to use laboratory resources for personal projects (within reason).
- Fog days are basically holidays. All workers, monster and human, can take these days off with no penalty.
- Human remains are not to be brought into the lab.
- All monsters must refrain from coming to work while "hungry".

There are three main areas where monsters are likely to be employed:

Network Development Project

- Requires some kind of knowledge or experience in one or more of the following fields: mathematics, computers, engineering, programming, or any alien equivalents.
- Duties include debugging and performing maintenance on the RSDOS system, as well as developing updates and additions to the user interface. Hardware accessories may also be developed.
- When new arrivals appear in Ryslig, laboratory workers may seek them out to distribute RSDOS devices to them.
- The actual source of the network (the fourth god/Liewen) is beyond the laboratory's reach and cannot be modified or influenced.

Cure Research Project

- Requires some kind of knowledge or experience in one or more of the following fields: biology, chemistry, medicine, zoology, or any alien equivalents.
- Duties include analyzing blood and tissue samples of monsters, developing experimental cures, and testing them in a laboratory environment.
- When new arrivals appear in Ryslig, laboratory workers may seek them out to take blood samples. For this, they often set up temporary stations in Vandare's hospital, or carry equipment out to remote locations by van.
- So far, lab workers have determined that all outsiders, both turned and yet-to-be-turned, share a common trait in their blood that none of the locals have. Unfortunately, they are unable to use that trait to tell which monster a given person will turn into, and no effective treatment has been discovered.

Field Discovery

- Requires a willingness to travel, quick thinking, and the ability to adapt.
- Duties include traveling in a team to research various locations in Ryslig, including changes in the various towns, environment, and other strange happenings. Timely documentations of the discoveries is required.
- Every other month, field workers much scout Vandare for possible locations of the new arrivals and prepare for assistance in the form of pamphlets and other information. Exceptions will be for away teams who are researching possibly important developments.

- You want your character to do something with the lab! (As a donor/supporter, breaking into the place, etc.)
- You have any questions about the lab, or you want something added/clarified here!

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Hello again! Fiona commented about being interested in working at the labs awhile ago, I...haven't followed up with it until now, sob.

In canon she was the assistant for a mech researcher and historian, and helped develop and test upgrades for those machines. In the labs she'd probably be of most help developing magi(tech) devices at Site Two, when it's completed.

I'd be fine with handwaving or threading this out!

Hi! If you want to post to the lab open post Ruri will be glad to talk to her! Magic and mecha actually fall under things she is looking for people who know!
