## Room(s)

 Woodwork

The **De-FIB** is a Treatment machine, used only in Woodwork by a Nurse to cure patients with Woodworms. It is first made available in Wanderoff, which requires the Off The Grid DLC.

## Description

### Appearance

The machine takes the form of an octagonal above-ground pool, with blue-and-white stripes sides, and a wide bare wooden rim. At the front is a wooden arch, which is accessed using a small wooden staircase, and leads to a wooden diving board over the pool. On the left-hand side are a set of puppet-style controls for the nurse to operate, and at the back, rising out of the water on a dark pole, is a decorative eight-pointed white star, which has two layers that spin in opposite directions when the room is in use. Eight red-and-white striped barber poles decorate the circumference of the pool, each topped with a gold-and-turquoise feature.

The De-FIB II adds to this a blue-and-white striped canopy on the outer aspect of the arch.

The De-FIB III further adds four short trapezoidal columns around the perimeter of the pool, decorated with red and white stripes and topped, at an angle, with a bare wooden round-cornered square bearing the image of the eight-pointed white star.

### Function

The nurse, at the control panel of the De-FIB, indicates for the patient to climb the stairs to the diving board, where they will nervously examine the water, before casting aside their caution to perform a cannonball with a large splash. They will resurface and tread water for a few seconds, only to be swallowed by a whale, and taken back down under the water. After a few seconds more, the whale will reappear, only to regurgitate the patient, their normal appearance restored. They will tumble down the stairs, and when they gather their senses, they will get to their feet, their treatment complete.

### Maintenance

The De-FIB loses 5-10% of its maintenance gauge with each use. Once the gauge falls below 50%, a Janitor will automatically be called to repair it. A janitor can be summoned manually by selecting the machine and pressing .

Should the maintenance gauge fall below 15%, the machine will catch fire. A janitor will need to use an Extinguisher to put this out before the gauge reaches zero; if it is allowed to do so, the machine will explode, leaving wreckage which must be sold and replaced with a new machine before the room can resume functioning.

### Upgrades

Upgrades are performed by a Janitor with the Mechanics Qualification. The machine will not be accessible while this work is being done, although it can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress.

## Requirements

### Staff

A  Nurse will be required to run Woodwork, and by extension the De-FIB.

In addition, a  Janitor will be required to maintain the machine, with  Mechanics Qualifications in order to provide upgrades.
