## Description

### Phoenotopia

In this game, Thomas's Lab is a small building with a few Golems idling around. Due to his paranoia, the lab is disguised as a tailor shop filled with balls of yarn and various articles of fabric while his real workspace is hidden deeper inside. When Gail first reaches the lab, Thomas will seemingly not be there, but she was told by Lisa to simply be persistent when dealing with Thomas. The interior of the lab is shut behind a door which can be unlocked by flipping a switch hidden by a crate high up on a wall.

Beyond the door is a puzzle room where metal crates must be placed on pressure plates to open another series of doors. This leads to the last section, which is a corridor blocked by a robot guard who serves as this area's boss. After disposing of the robot, Gail is able to proceed and find Thomas in his real lab, a large room filled with machinery and lab equipment.

### Phoenotopia Awakening

In this game, Thomas's Lab is still fairly small but is much more involved. In order to get into the lab, Gail first has to convince Arch, Thomas's Golem assistant, to let her pass, which can only be done by telling Arch that she is seeking an internship. Arch will then let Gail enter the main section of the lab and instruct her to take the lift to the floors below to complete some tests to prove herself worthy of an internship. This main lobby area contains several Golems doing various tasks, as well as an artificially intelligent talking vending machine that sells Calory Slush.

Beneath the lobby are two floors, each one containing four rooms which host different challenges that Gail must complete to win Golem Medallions used to progress further through the lab. Additionally, each of these floors also has an exit pipe that brings Gail to the outside of the lab when entered. For each of the two floors, Gail has to earn three of the four Golem Medallions on the floor to move on to the next floor below. If every room on both floors is completed, this will leave the player with two extra Golem Medallions; they can be given back to Arch in exchange for one Moonstone each.

Below the second test room floor is the lowest floor in the lab, which consists of Thomas's kitchen, some other rooms containing various bonuses, another exit pipe, and Thomas's actual lab, where Gail finds him and a Wrecker holding two Peace Ministers, Floret and Gilroy, hostage for trying to arrest Thomas. When Gail tries to intervene, Thomas mistakes her for another Peace Minister and orders the Wrecker to capture her, but she manages to defeat it. She then explains herself to Thomas, who comes to his senses and agrees to help her. If the lab is revisited after this point, Gail can free Floret and Gilroy by giving them a chocolate through the vacuum tube near their cell, allowing Gilroy to trigger his Meta-Human powers by eating the chocolate and break the glass keeping them in.
