Unlike the last time, where I was still musing on the current puzzle after leaving mid-puzzle, I had nothing on the current one, but continued to think about the one I'd left off in last time. Really, with the knowledge it was multiplicative, figuring out which was 7 and which was 11 was all that was needed. Huh, but the title screen has the room we're in right now. The Biolab. Oh, hey, that door puzzle's more complex than I thought. It's not "hit five buttons", it's "hit each of the four buttons somewhere from 0-5 times". Oh, we can use the same liquid more than once in the analyzer, but that just means...that "orange, blue, white" is for that. We don't have orange, blue, or white. Which means that once again, we're at a standstill. Our only inventory items are the green liquid, the pink liquid, and the centrifuge cover with the hint. The fact that the centrifuge cover is still in our inventory suggests it has another use, but maybe it's just there to make sure we don't forget our hint before we can use it. Both the sink and the pig container have locked wheels. The computer next to the analyzer is off, and the drawer there is apparently decorative. The game notes that of the four specimens, only the butterfly can't be moved, but doesn't actually let us move the other three. We can't actually use the centrifuge. We can't adjust the microscope. We have no hint for the door. We can't use the clean bench for anything. We have no fifth cylinder to put in the empty space. What am I missing? And what's with the shelf of tools? I'm pretty sure we didn't pick up anything from there initially, but it's something we zoom in on. 6 to the 4th is 1296, so that's how many combinations it'd take to brute force the lock. Too many. Why can't I adjust the microscope?! I'm absolutely certain I've checked everything with everything. We need those orange, blue, and white liquids. ...Damnit, there was something on those shelves! "Set the dial to A to mix the liquids. Set the dial to B to separate the liquid". It's the centrifuge manual. Green separates into blue and yellow...which means pink will separate into red and white! And yellow and red will make orange. Using the analyzer reveals the fetus cylinder and also turns on a monitor. Yellow bird, purple fish, white dragonfly, red flower, blue human. I feel like this is some esoteric clue for the specimen puzzle. The butterfly is locked to position four, but the hint that's a bug looks like it ought to be either position three or position five. ...But there are only 24 possible solutions to this puzzle. You know what that means, right? It's finally time to just brute force one of these things! ...This doesn't seem to be working. I should probably have a pen and paper to take note of each order I've tried. Oh, wait, I know what to do! Red is 3, blue is 2, white is 1, yellow is 5. The microscope works fine on the separated liquids. Another arrange-the-pieces puzzle. Capsules...ah! Yellow 1, Purple 2, Blue 3, Red 5. And here we go. A fingerprint identification device...but it draws blood! Light by the sink turns on, and we can move it. It stops in the corner, but examining it again turns on the light by the pig. We got the pig! There's a drawer in the sink with a scalpel, so we cut it open and...we're done. Zero talks about 17 years ago, a woman died, carved open just like that pig. But her heart was still beating as it was carved out of her. A male suspect was quickly caught. He must've planned to escape via taxi as he called one before his capture. The police arrested him before he could use it. Instead, a genius surgeon crawled inside, headed for the hospital, a seriously ill patient awaiting his arrival for a life-saving treatment. However, the taxi got into an accident before it reached its destination, colliding with a large truck. Both the driver and the surgeon died, as did the young boy waiting for surgery. Life is truly unfair, don't you think?
