The "science prison" in which {{C12}} takes place is | The "science prison" in which {{C12}} takes place is numbered 112 in a global network of laboratories. The [[TCTF]] apparently keeps scientists captive in these labs in order to further the [[WCG]]'s control of technology. It's possible that only scientists who conduct prohibited research like [[Kerr|Dr. Kerr]] end up imprisoned in one of these facilities, with their projects redirected to aid the WCG (however [[Bertram Navarre]] is still on the run…). It's significant that even though [[Konoko]] is considered an enemy of the TCTF by the time she breaks into this lab, the scientists here are eager to help her, generously doling out ammo and hypos. | ||

===Purpose=== | |||
The Rockstar Flash site version of the manual contains a passage on Dr. Kerr where it states that he is "employed full time at the TCTF genetic engineering development lab". Stating that he is "employed full time" is either a way of hiding a spoiler about his actual situation or else it was written at an earlier point in the game's development, but the description of this lab as being devoted to genetic engineering makes sense considering Kerr's work on the [[Chrysalis]], not to mention the people in tanks which can be seen in the labs. | |||

*Do [[Black Ops]] normally patrol these labs, or are they expecting Konoko? The number of troops in this level eventually becomes so overwhelming that by the time Konoko's meeting with Kerr is done, she feels that the only way she can possibly escape with her life is to jump into a vat of acid. | *Do [[Black Ops]] normally patrol these labs, or are they expecting Konoko?

*The level is internally named "neuro", which implies that it was originally devoted to doing something with people's brains, not their genes. It's interesting to note that Oni's [[Oni/Early Story|early story]] concerned repressed memories about Konoko's past which were hidden from her. The device in the scanner room device could be seen as a brainwashing or memory-rewriting device in this context. | |||
