From: Work with your Meticulous Student

You've found a valuable lead. Now you and your student need only follow it up.

Success

Aha!

Armed with this new line of inquiry, your student scours the data you've already collected – and extracts an answer that you would never have seen before.

• Watchful is increasing…
• You've lost 1 x Unavoidable Epiphany
•  You've gained 18 + (3 * Equipment Level) x Laboratory Research

Rare Success

Digging too deep

Armed with this new line of inquiry, your student scours the data you've already collected. Not only does she make progress in answering the question you posed, her statistical methods uncover a few telling anomalies as well.

• Watchful is increasing…
• You've lost 1 x Unavoidable Epiphany
•  You've gained 1 x Unexpected Result
•  Disgruntlement among the Students is increasing… (+1 CP)
•  You've gained 18 + (3 * Equipment Level) x Laboratory Research

Failure

Hmmm...

Your student carefully re-examines the results of your project so far. What she finds isn't quite the answer to the question you were posing, however.

• Watchful is increasing…
•  You've gained 8 + (2 × Equipment Level) x Laboratory Research
