Disease Research Facility

This seems new This article contains information that is updated for the latest Experimental Version of Subnautica. Players using stable mode may find this information inaccurate.

The Secondary Bio-Research Facility is a Precursor Base in the Lost River that was built around one thousand years ago, some time before the imprisonment of the Sea Emperor in the Primary Research Facility. Here creatures were infected with the Carar bacterium. Surviving specimens were then sent to the Primary Research Facility for further testing in order to synthesize an antidote for the Carar bacterium.

It will be the point in the story where the player is revealed to be infected with Carar and seen developing the first outward symptoms (this in the form of a small animation where the player will observe their arms and hands being covered in Carar cysts).

This precursor base is extremely damaged and will be completely filled with water, lying on the floor as the cables that would have been suspended from were destroyed in an attack by an escaped Sea Dragon Leviathan - an event that also unleashed the Carar bacterium into the native ecosystem and prompted the Precursors to initiate their planetary quarantine by activating the Precursor Ground-To-Air Weapon System.

The Secondary Bio-Research Facility was set up partially to study the skeleton in the Bones Field of the Lost River - the remains of a creature stated to be either a Sea Dragon Leviathan of sorts or a close genetic cousin of it.

Data Bank Entry

<tabber> Secondary Bio-Research Facility=

Personnel: 7 Function: Live specimen study Objective: Synthesis of antidote for highly infectious bacterium designated 'Carar' Method: Infection of live specimens with bacteria; observation of immune response; surviving specimens sent to primary facility for further analysis. Precautions: Remote research site to reduce risk of contagion. Offsite thermal power generator. Ground-to-air weapon system in case of security breach.

|-| Damage Report=

Massive internal damage recorded in lifeform containment unit 7 (leviathan). Facility structural integrity compromised. Immediate specimen destruction protocol initiated. 314 specimens destroyed. 1 specimen unaccounted for. Initiated planetary quarantine protocol. WARNING: No ships will be permitted to enter or leave orbit without proper clearance. Orbital clearance will not be granted to infected individuals. Clean genetic signature required.

Trivia

• The Secondary Bio-Research Facility, along with the Primary Research Facility, held a total of 315 specimens - all of which were eliminated as a security precaution, save for the Sea Emperor in the Aquarium.
• The Facility held 7 personnel total.
