Abandoned Factory

The **Abandoned Factory** is a point of interest on the planet Omicron. It is an extremely difficult POI to endure due to hoardes of enemies and Turrets. The recommended supplies to bring are at least the Pulse Rifle (T2) and loads of  Projectile Rifle Round. The player should also bring a Rocket Launcher for the laser turrets that reside in the base.

Although the Abandoned Factory already contains Medicine up for grabs, it is a good idea to bring plenty of  Bandages, link=Antidote Injection}} Antidote Injection,  Large Medikit, and link=Antidote Pills}} Antidote Pills.

A recommended procedure to follow when persuing this POI is to use a Multi Tool to look at the ground, as there are many Trap Doors on the ground that can end up putting the player in a very dangerous spot. It can also be used to find the hidden NPC Spawners on the ceiling and floor. The majority of the spawners on the ceiling spawn Alien Scorpions.

## Story

The factory was a facility named 'Pelco' after taking severe evacuation protocols. It is unknown if the previous inhabitants were human, but it is best assumed they were since it focuses on someone by the name Dr. Alvin Mitchell, whos name is that of a human.

### Notes

While traversing the structure, players may encounter messages on the wall, playing the role of the previous workers on an LCD Screen during lockdown.

       ⚠ ALERT ⚠

ALL PERSONNEL, REPORT TO
DESIGNATED EVACUATION AREAS

```

Third message (Storage room after Lab 01):

```
Dr. Mitchell,
Please review security procedures
with all lab personnel. Two lock-
down incidents have occurred in the
past month, and I have no desire to
inform anyone's family that their son
or daughter is dead due to simple
negligence.

These warnings are posted for the
safety of EVERYONE in this facility.
Security and containment protocols
are to be followed AT ALL TIMES.

Thank you for your cooperation.
- Cpt. J. Hammond
 Chief Security Officer

Fourth message (room after the turret testing area):

```
Mitchell...! System's going haywire
down here! Some kind of foreign
contaminant in the AI matrices.

Turret IFF keeps glitching out and
targeting our technicians! What the
hell did you do?!

```

Fifth message (before entering control room):

Translation: *Contamination still spreading, Lockdown came to late, All too late, Damn you Mitchell*

Seventh message (end of control room):

```
Hell is not a myth.

It is the end of the end of the road we
pave into the unknown, the debt we all
must pay when we sacrifice ourselves
on the altar of progress. Judgement,
pronounced and delivered upon those
with the hubris to push  the thresh-
hold of mankind's limits.

I regret we have not travelled further.
There is so much left undone. But my
road has reached its end.

-Dr. Alvin Mitchell, PhD
