Research Preparations reduce the difficulty of the Watchful challenge, but not the Artisan of the Red Science one.

Each point of Research Preparations reduces the base difficulty by 1 point.

Success

Induction

Examine the shrapnel of broken chains. Taxonomise the forms of newly-forged links.

Rare Success

Induction

Examine the shrapnel of broken chains. Taxonomise the forms of newly-forged links. Pay no mind to the flames behind your eyes. Remember the letters your hand idly scratches on the table, twitch by twitch, with a fingernail.

Failure

Snap, crackle, pop

Your bones obey new rules; ones not as conducive to human life.

Rare Failure

To see is to burn

You learn little about the experiment at hand. But you read the shrapnel of broken chains, like casting bones.
