LORE
After a mysterious accident, a secret scientific facility is left unused and abandoned, however, there are still objects of interest inside.
Your job is to recover Amalgams, creatures created from a mass-manufactured microorganism that has the ability to merge multiple animal species into one, or exaggerate characteristics of existing species.
Amalgams are manufactured in cells isolated from each other. Due to the nature of the microorganism used, the facilities must be partially submerged in a liquid specifically created to favor its reproduction.
This is why the installation can only be accessed by ships, so the facilities are designed for transport and circulation with maritime vehicles.
Once the Amalgams are created, they are captured in F-Pots, cages designed for their safe transport. These cages are kept submerged with the Amalgam inside until they emerge via activation of their associated buoy.
Your ship is equipped with a crane capable of transporting and activating F-Pots, you must use it to pick up the Amalgams and store them in your hold.
At the time of the accident the Amalgams were sedated by the automatic safety system, but it cannot be ruled out that some of them are still active.
