Scene 2
The Center for
Advanced Genomic
Research
The Situation
One way or another, the heroes have determined
that the only laboratory that could have created
the clones they faced in Megalopolis and that have
been turning up all around the world is the Center
for Advanced Genomic Research on the island of
Tarama in the western Pacific.
The island is actually an atoll with a vaguely
hexagonal ring of coral surrounding a placid lagoon
about a mile wide. One side of the ring is occupied
by an airstrip and a relatively small hangar, though
no aircraft or vehicles can be seen in or around the
hangar. From this side of the atoll winds a rough
road leading to the laboratory complex, which is
constructed on the widest section of land.
Near the lab is a large landing pad suitable for
helicopters or vertical-landing fixed-wing aircraft,
though it is currently empty of any such vehicles.
In fact, outside the laboratory, the entire island is
currently abandoned. Inside the laboratory? Well,
that's for the heroes to find out...
The laboratory itself is a stout, six-story building
sunk directly into the ground like a subterranean
skyscraper. The original builders needed to be able
to easily seal the facility off from the atmosphere in
the potential event of the release of a hazardous
genetically engineered biomorph, and burying the
installation on a remote island seemed the surest
way to do that.
Biomancer took over the lab and used it for his
own bioengineering of the clones now scattered
throughout the world — this was not the best
outcome for the work already in process at the
Center for Advanced Genomic Research, and the
resulting changes to the preexisting experiments
here present the main danger to the heroes.
Running the Scene
The goal of the scene is to investigate the lab and
discover information related to the clones, including:
• Who made the clones?
• Where is that person or people now?
• What clones were made? How many?
• What are these clones' capabilities?
• Where are the remaining clones?
• Where are the originals?
• What happened to all the scientists working at the lab?
• Why? What’s the motive for these actions?
To discover this information, the heroes must
delve deeply to the core of the laboratory and
examine the evidence they find there.
The bulk of this scene features the heroes
attempting to reach the final level of the laboratory
at the Center for Advanced Genomic Research on
the island of Tarama.
