The Lab

**Page subject to overhaul**

This character or series is likely to be completely overhauled, either from controversy, a copyright issue, or a choice by the creator.

**Reason:** The story and lab design has changed.

## Information

### Status

Determinant:* Active *(Successful path)*
* Defunct *(Meltdown and Freezedown paths)*
* Unknown *(Aborted path)*

### Parody on

Black Mesa

By 1926, the core remains from Dark Matter was found started to gather all of the core, but they weren't able to due to some of the pieces being lost in space or in a obscure place. By the 1930s the construction of the Lab started and finished in 1976.

The lab is used to create a portal to into the Voidlands without having to be painfully turned into stone and wait until arrival. This took many tests until it was confirmed ready.

By September 21st, 1977 the project begun causing the timeline spiting into three different paths; Meltdown for "Lab Disaster" and "FALLMON 2", Freezedown for "The North", or successful (or aborted) for "Wastelanders".

## Shutdown

Either due to the core freezing or reaching critical temperatures the entire project starts shutting down (If failed the outcome will become a **Meltdown** or **Freezedown** depending on temperature). If they successfully shut down the core they will reattempt (either later or another day), they would very rarely abort the project.

## Success

Once all goes to plan, the portal will eventually open up allowing direct access to the Voidlands with ease. With the project, It will take about ~12 minutes to fully open the portal.

## Meltdown

### If Meltdown started without Portal Lasers

At 11:21 AM, A warning sign appears showing the core is at unstable temperatures, they resorted to activating the safeguard which end up failing, removing all plans to stop the runaway core.

### If Meltdown started with Portal Lasers Active

At 11:23 AM, The option to activate the portal lasers was available and activates them, however when they did the core temperature reached over 5000°K, due to the the lasers being activated and coolant systems being broken (or not effective).

### 2 minutes after Meltdown report.

A shutdown was issued but with how hot the temperatures is and the shield integrity being critical it eventually failed as the shield gets destroyed. After a minute a E.A.S. alert was broadcasted around Light City as a storm started to form around the lab as well with a beam appearing where the core is.

### 4.5 minutes after Meltdown report.

After a few minutes the elevator leading to the main facility breaks, causing it to crash down and break into the core room, releasing extreme radiation exposure to the facility *(as well killing 6 crew members)*, the facility goes into complete lockdown.

### 7 minutes after Meltdown report.

By 11:29 AM the beam disappeared and the lab exploded, This starts the events of Lab Disaster.

### 3 minutes after explosion.

The radiation and blast is able to hit Lively Town.

### After Lab Disaster

Because the explosion was larger than expected, it killed nearly everyone in the Water Continent and part of the Mist Continent and Air Continent. A total casualty count of 400-500 million.

## Freezedown (Outdated)

At 11:22 AM the core temperature reaches below 300°K, causing a complete stall on the project. A shutdown starts two minutes later but after the lasers deactivates an error has occurred, unable to shut down as the core temperature display breaks. The lab slowly freezes and lockdown seals for the core room activates.

### 2 minutes after Shutdown failure.

The scientists uses almost all of the power to heat up the core which resulted to fail and the lab loses power, all heating systems was completely broken. At the same time, the systems detected an "Unauthorized biological forms" in the core room, despite no one being in the core room.

### ~10 minutes after Shutdown failure.

Intense pressure was detected as the crushers activate to destroy the core. If success the core will be destroyed but unleashes a explosion causing global temperatures to drop by 20°C.

# Aftermaths

## Meltdown

After the events of the explosion, nearly half of the surviving scientists were sentenced to life sentences due to being responsible for causing mass destruction and failing to stop a runaway core, the project is canceled and the idea of going to the Voidlands had stopped. Everyone eventually makes it out of the Voidlands (because of their advanced technology and Reversed Mountain being colonized), causing the place to be abandoned and overrun by Void Shadows. Around 500-5000 years later, all villages would erode.

Due to the massive destruction towards the Water Continent and most leaders replaced (due to them possibly dying) one of the new leaders of the continent starts a war towards the Grass Continent and launches nuclear weapons towards the continent in 2002. A huge destruction was caused with the continent killing nearly 70% of the population. FM2 will start in 2017. After the war, the nuclear weapons were dismantled to avoid any further destruction.

Their fate after **FM2** is unknown.

## Success/Aborted

While the outcome does not change on whether or not they were success or not, it does have some kind of short term outcome. A Success will allow more research on the Voidlands while a shutdown may either reattempt or completely abort the project.

But long term without the lab doing anything that impacts the world, life continued to go normally until 2097 where someone in the Southern Settlers accidently launches every nuclear weapon causing the entire planet to go up in flames. The planet temperature rises about 20 degrees, causing many islands including the Air Continent to flood. After two centuries Wastelanders will start.

Their fate after **Wastelanders** is unknown.

## Freezedown

Because of the disaster, 80% of the global population was wiped out and everything is freezing, by 21XX The North starts.

Their fate after **The North** is unknown.

# Casualties

## Meltdown

* **Roland**
	+ He stayed inside the core control room since he knows surviving is just as bad as dying. Resulting him dying from the core explosion.

* **Isabelle**
	+ She dies from radiation exposure after the lab explodes.

* **Crew who went into the Fallout Shelter (Offscreen)**
	+ They would all die, from one of these reasons
		- The core explosion was unexpectedly too strong, destroying the bunker along with it.
		- They ran out of resources due to going outside was impossible.
		- Power loss caused life supports to fail. They would eventually die from thirst.

* **Unknown Crew Members and Visitors**
	+ Staying in the lab, including the Fallout Shelter as it was ineffective.
	+ Radiation exposure *(Mainly after the elevator crashing)*
	+ Being on the elevator while it was crashing. *(Even if you somehow survived the impact, radiation and heat will kill you from being in the core room)*
	+ Dying from gas or fire that leaked.

## Freezedown

* **Unknown Crew Members and Visitors**
	+ Staying in the lab and/or not going to the Fallout Shelter.
	+ Going into the core room *(You would instantly freeze)*
	+ Freezing
	+ Getting sucked up by the blackhole*formed)*

# Survivors

## Meltdown

* Aiden
* Victoria

# Trivia

* In the game version *(If there was a game version)* there is an achievement for finding every single scientist from the laboratory.
* Regardless of what happens in the Lab. FALLMONIAN will always happen due to being on a different planet without any connections to NOC-4.
