Lab Manual

"Oh, I'm sure you were all super scared and confused downstairs, what with how dangerous it is down there, but now that we're all back together, we should be able to continue working on the internship." - Lab Manual, LabTWOW Prompt 11

Lab Manual is the host of LabTWOW, the first TWOW chronologically in the main timeline. She actually cohosts with Lab Notebook most of the time, but it's clear that she is the one who set up the whole TWOW.

She seems to be the most helpful host, showing Funo and Moralitea a way for both of them to escape, even if it didn't necessarily work out for them. As far as we know, she still works for GreyLabs, but could also have been fired.

## Appearance

Lab Manual is a bright green spiral book, with a yellow hexagon pattern, most likely some sort of chemical formula. On her back there is text. Near the top it says "CHE 201", directly below that it says "Laboratory Manual" and directly below that, in smaller text, it says "3rd Edition". Near the bottom it says "EBRBVU", though it's unclear what this stands for.

## History

### Before LabTWOW

Lab Manual seems to be the first person to meet Lab Notebook, the two of them becoming friends fairly quickly. They contrast each other a lot, with LN being very reserved and LM being very outgoing, but regardless they continually stay friends.

They go to school together, and become roommates. While she did not originally intend to pursue science as her career path, she didn't really have any other options because everything else she tried she wasn't very good at. She graduates, and is offered a position managing experiments at Grey Labs. Despite Lab Notebook's skepticism, LM takes the position, and gives Lab Notebook a job on her team, because her position gives her the ability to.

LM and LN are sent to the planet LabTWOW takes place on to do research. While Lab Manual supervises the scientists studying the planet, LN is sent over to the drill team, so at this point the two have parted ways. The main goal of the research facility is to study the parasitic organisms on the planet, since they're highly adaptive and can basically do anything. Lab Manual seems very interested in certain experiments, the most notable one being the cloning project, since the clones are of her and not any other random employee.

After an incident with the drill team, Lab Notebook being the only survivor, Lab Manual is ordered by Grey Labs to research the effects of exposure on other books. To do this, she decides to recruit a bunch of people that have had no exposure before at all, to see the full range of effects. She makes an ad online for the experiment, disguised as a TWOW because the test subjects can't know they're test subjects, that would negate the results of the experiment.

## Personality

Lab Manual is confident and charismatic, and generally friendly to most of the contestants. For this reason, most of the people don't exactly trust her right away, feeling that there's something more to her than that. She seems to care a lot about doing her job correctly, because she's not really good at anything else she's pursued over her life.

Despite her seemingly apathetic demeanor towards the contestant's deaths, during the finale it's shown that she does care about the contestants lives, and does her best to let the two living contestants escape.

## Abilities

* **Teleportation:** In the finale prompt, it is shown that Lab Manual can be teleported, though it doesn't seem to be of her own will.
