Research Pod

Appearance
The Research Pod takes the form of a horizontal arch, the lower section of which is a dark grey, the upper portion is a midtone grey, with a lighter grey border dividing the two. On the inside of the arch is a panel featuring a slot, with a red button just above. Found in the centre is a raised circular section, and at each end is a set of sliding panels.

When in use, the central circle section will raise to reveal a microscope-style device, with a viewer scope and two handles. The sliding panels on the right reveal a device in light and dark grey with orange accents, activated by a crank handle. On the opposite side is revealed another device in dark grey and blue, with green, red and brown sections, with a throttle-style handle and a spinning section.
