Disease Research Facility

The Disease Research Facility (DRF) is an abandoned and demolished Precursor Base located next to the Lost River Junction. Built around one thousand years ago, some time before the imprisonment of the Sea Emperor, the main purpose of this facility was to infect creatures with the Carar Bacterium. Surviving specimens were then sent to the Primary Containment Facility for further testing in order to synthesize a cure for the bacterium.

The Disease Research Facility is heavily damaged, and unlike the other bases, is completely filled with water. It lies partially suspended by several loose-hanging cables, with several sections of destroyed cables found scattered around the perimeter of the facility. The base was attacked and destroyed by a Sea Dragon Leviathan in an attempt to retrieve its stolen eggs - an event that also unleashed the Carar bacterium into the native ecosystem and prompted the Precursors to initiate their planetary quarantine by activating the Quarantine Enforcement Platform.

The Disease Research Facility was set up partially to study the skeleton in the Bones Field - the remains of a ten million year old super-predator.

Interior
The interior of the Disease Research Facility is mainly a straight path, from the entrance to the Warper room, with some deviation. Starting at the entrance, the right-hand wall contains an Ion Crystal and a force field room that can be unlocked with a Purple Precursor Artifact; this room contains a Data Download entitled "Alien Research Data". Continuing along the path, which turns left and downwards, there is another Ion Crystal and a small tank on the left. The main turns right at a room containing the Sea Dragon's egg and various fauna. The path turns right again, with a large aquarium on the left, accessible via a broken window, housing Skeletal Remains. At the end of the path is a room with various Warper parts, including a torso that can be scanned. A data terminal in this room, when interacted with, triggers the PDA to prompt the Player to perform a self-scan, which reveals the Carar has spread to the skin on the player's hands.
