 Equipment | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | When the Dean granted you a Laboratory, what he meant was "four walls, a bare tabletop, and a celebratory print from Benthic's last anniversary." That will need to change if you hope to accomplish anything here. |
| 1 | A small collection of bottles and glassware covers half a table-top. Rags. A small burner. It's the merest beginning. |
| 2 | Chemicals on one table. Components for simple optical experiments on another. Your Laboratory is beginning to look a little less bleak, but there is a great deal further to go. |
| 3 | A plausible clutter covers the tabletops. There are separate workstations now, materials for several different activities. You don't possess much equipment that couldn't be found in any room for undergraduate instruction, however. |
| 4 | Shelving covers one wall and provides all the essential tomes for a scholar in your fields. Chemical and optical workstations occupy separate benches. |
| 5 | Shelving covers one wall and provides all the essential tomes for a scholar in your fields. Separate workstations provide for chemical, optical, and explosive destruction. |
| 6 | Shelving covers one wall and provides all the essential tomes for a scholar in your fields. Separate workstations provide for chemical, optical, and explosive destruction, as well as the detection of any localised improbability. |

You can picture how the lab is currently equipped. (Further description goes here; see above table.)
Game Instructions: This storylet allows you to improve your Lab from an area where the Bazaar is still accessible. Once you make an improvement, you will be automatically moved into the Laboratory.
