If you're a {{IL|Correspondent}} by profession, you can [[Pursue truths through the Red Science|pursue truths through the Red Science]] when doing research in the {{IL|University Laboratory (Place)|Appearance=Laboratory}}, which has a 22% chance of raising SotC by 1 CP, in both success and failure. Specifically, it allows you to draw the infrequent (80% as common) [[Read the Books that Others Cannot|specific card]] during your projects, which has the mentioned option. It gives Wounds on a failure, but always generates at least a bit of Laboratory Research. | If you're a {{IL|Correspondent}} by profession, you can [[Pursue truths through the Red Science|pursue truths through the Red Science]] when doing research in the {{IL|University Laboratory (Place)|Appearance=Laboratory}}, which has a 22% chance of raising SotC by 1 CP, in both success and failure.
