Episode 2: The Lab Conduct Guide
Episode 2 of Stories Untold plays out a little differently than Episode 1 as you need to complete a number of experiments on a test subject. These experiments need to match up with how they are laid out in a manual in order to be completed.
Experiment 1: X-RAY
The first experiment you need to complete is taking an X-RAY of the Artifact. To do this you need to turn on the (1) Camera, set the (2) Monitor to X-RAY, and (3) Charge the CC-86 X-RAY device. See the picture above for the corresponding equipment. Once you’ve setup the experiment press the green button on 4. After you’ve completed the experiment turn everything off.
Experiment 2: Surface Reaction Attempt
The next experiment tasks you with shooting a laser at the Artifact. To do this you need to set a (1) wavelength of Red (650 nm), set the (2) monitor to RGB, (3) turn on the camera, and (4) run the experiment. Once done this experiment you will need to complete more laser tests using different colors. Simply input the wavelength of the requested laser colors in to complete the experiment.
Experiment 3: Resonant Frequency
In the third experiment you need to determine the resonant frequency of the Artifact. To do this you need to (1) set the Signal Generator’s frequency and waveform, (2) set the amplifier gain, and then (3) run the experiment. You will start at 250Hz and 1 Gain.
