DNA Lab



The DNA Lab is unlocked for research in the Research Room immediately upon reaching Melt Downs; used to both diagnose and treat patients, it works as a important curing facility, treating a large range of illnesses from World 3 onwards. It is staffed by a Doctor with the Genetics Qualification, whose efficiency can be increased with diagnosis and treatment skills.

Function
After their visit with a GP, patients may stop at this clinic where a doctor with the Genetics qualification will examine them. The doctor, at the main controls behind the glass screen, will direct the patient to step onto the footprint-marked section, and press the green button to start the process. A translucent blue hexagonal field will rise around the patient, at which point the doctor will move to the smaller control panel, and activate the genetic analysis. Two light blue rings rise and fall around the patient from inside their hexagonal field, and on the other side of the machine, the patient's DNA double-helix will be projected as a hologram. The doctor returns to the main controls, in order to use the keyboard and the hexagonal red button in order to complete the process. The hexagonal field will retract, the double-helix will fade, and the patient will step away from the machine.

If the patient has come for treatment, this is where their visit to the hospital will be completed. Elsewise, they will receive a boost to their total diagnosis, followed by a return to the GP's Office, unless they have reached the fast-track treatment threshold, in which case they will move directly to the appropriate treatment room (which may well be the same DNA Lab).

Appearance
The DNA Lab's door is a dark turquoise, with a large lighter-toned round-cornered rectangle taking up most of it. The lower half of this is home to a raised round-cornered square in a still-lighter tone. The floor is also dark turqoise, with a tesselating pattern of lighter-toned hexagons with rows of light passing between them. The walls also feature tessellating turquoise hexagons, darker towards the bottom, lighter towards the top; along the centre, some of the hexagons are coloured red, and some light blue, wrapping around each other in a continuous trail resembling a DNA double-helix. A dark turquoise speckled skirting board completes the picture.

Unlock
The DNA Lab is made available to develop in the Research Room immediately upon starting Melt Downs. The DNA Lab research project is used to unlock it, which will require 1,000 to complete.

Upgrades
The Healixir has two upgrades available, these are detailed on its page. As with the room itself, these upgrades must be researched.
