- "Maybe the builders thought to be prepared for some kind of pandemic?"
- — Q, pondering the purpose of the Biolab
The Biolab is an escape room that is found within the Radical-6 fragment for Q-Team. It is a dimly lit biological laboratory that contains research materials and equipment. It is explored by Q, Mira, and Eric.
Layout[]
The Biolab contains a variety of equipment and materials needed for biological research, specifically viruses. The entire perimeter of the room is covered with this equipment. The north wall contains a movable shelf with an immobilized pig specimen, an analyzer, a desktop computer, and a bench with petri dishes and two liquid beakers. Directly to the right of the bench is a UV irradiator.
On the east wall is a shelf filled with many glowing blue specimens and four unique specimens sitting on a scanner that stand out: a tree root, seahorse, butterfly, and penguin.
Along the south wall is the sealed exit, with the rest of the area being uncluttered and empty. To the southwest, a locker sealed with a button system is present. Directly next to that is the west wall.
The west wall consists of a desk cluttered with various contraptions. These contraptions include a white desktop monitor, a light microscope, a researcher's note, and a DNA helix model. In front of the desk is an office chair with a pillow containing a picture of a pig on it. Directly to the right of the desk is a centrifuge with a steel cover on top.
Finally, the northwest wall contains a few shelves full of assorted junk and another movable shelf containing a sink.
Story[]
Mysterious instructions appear.
A vision of the members of Q-Team being executed is shown, but it turns out to be a dream as Q wakes up screaming in the Biolab. He discusses his dream, but Eric dismisses it as just a bad dream. The exit seals shut and Mira wakes up as well. While searching their surroundings, Eric becomes freaked out by a pig preserved in formaldehyde and Q and Mira theorize on the purpose of the lab. A computer monitor comes on with one instruction - "slash the pig's stomach".
During the middle of the investigation, the group discovers a set of files describing a lethal virus, Fanatic Bio R. The only known antidote for it is Radical-6, which counteracts it, and at the same time is neutralized by Fanatic Bio R.

It can be used to unscrew the cover of the centrifuge.
Pig in formaldehyde[]
Lord Oinkington, you left us too sooooooooooon!
A pig preserved in a sealed jar full of formaldehyde. After the sink work station is fully assembled, the jar breaks and the pig falls out, ready to be obtained.
Mira later cuts it open with the scalpel.
Pink liquid beaker[]
A beaker full of pink liquid.
A beaker full of pink liquid. It is found on the clean bench next to the green liquid beaker.
By using the centrifuge, it can be separated into the red liquid test tube and white liquid test tube.
Power cord[]
A long power cord.
A long, black power cord. It is found inside of the pig pillow after cutting it open.
It is plugged into the analyzer to provide it a power source.
Red liquid test tube[]
A test tube filled with red liquid.
A test tube filled with red liquid. It is obtained after the pink liquid beaker is placed into the centrifuge.
When observed under the microscope, its cells appear in groups of 3.
Scalpel[]
A small but sharp scalpel.
A thin, plastic scalpel with a metal blade. It can be found in the drawer of the sink work station after it has been fully assembled.
It is used by Mira to cut open the pig in formaldehyde.
White liquid test tube[]
A test tube filled with white liquid.
A test tube filled with white liquid. It can be obtained after the pink liquid beaker is placed into the centrifuge.
When observed under the microscope, its cells appear in groups of 1.
It is the third liquid to be placed in the analyzer.
Yellow liquid test tube[]
A test tube filled with yellow liquid.
A test tube filled with yellow liquid. It can be obtained after the green liquid beaker is placed into the centrifuge.
When observed under the microscope, its cells appear in groups of 5.
Combined Items[]
Orange liquid beaker[]

Minigames[]
Colored Circle[]
Solution for the colored circle.
This minigame requires the player to press four buttons in order to open a locked cabinet. The solution is found by examining the liquids inside the test tubes. The number of cells grouped together shows how many times to press the buttons.
- Press yellow five times
- Press white once
- Press red three times
- Press blue twice
Completing this minigame allows access to the specimen placement minigame.
Specimen Box Organization[]
Solution for the specimen box organization.
This minigame requires the player to place all the specimens inside the box but rotating and shifting the specimens so that they all fit coherently. The blue "X's" on each specimen provide a hint to where they should be placed
After completing this minigame, you receive the capsules.
Liquid Colors[]
Solution for the liquid colors in the analyzer.
From left to right, place the orange liquid beaker, blue liquid test tube, and white liquid test tube inside of the analyzer. This solution can be found on the centrifuge cover after putting it inside of the UV irradiator.
Upon placing the three liquids in the analyzer, the machine will open up and a fetus specimen will available to take.
Specimen Scanner[]
Solution for the specimen scanner.
From left to right, place the penguin, seahorse, fetus, butterfly, and root on the scanner. This solution can be found with the combination of the capsules and the desktop picture that pops up after taking the fetus from the analyzer. The capsules have a number for each color, 1=yellow, 2=pink, 3=blue, 5=orange and the desktop assigns a color to each specimen, yellow=penguin, pink=seahorse, white=butterfly, orange=root, and blue=fetus.
Upon placing the specimens in the correct order, a fingerprint authentication device appears and upon placing their fingers on it, they get poked with a needle. After getting poked, the second movable shelf turns on.

Humorous Quotes[]
- Examine the pig in the tank:
Q: I still think this pig is the one... But the big question is, how do we get it out? Eric: This is it! Time to prove I'm a man! Hyah! Owww, my hand... Wait, not even a crack? Mira: What the hell are you...
- Examine the pig in the tank again:
- Q: We have to get the pig out of this. Eric: My fist still kind of hurts... Ow.
- Examine the fluids on the clean bench:
- Eric: Some suspicious liquid. It won't explode if we mix it, will it? Q: Oh! Oh! Like mad scientists do, right? Mira: Well, that's an old-fashioned reference...
- Examine the microscope (before getting the lens):
- Q: Hey, I wanna see too! Hey! Eric: Would you just shut it. This is why kids are... Give me a sec...hm? I can't see anything. Mira: How exactly are you going to see anything without the lens?
- Examine the UV irradiator:
- Eric: What's this thing? Q: It's a UV irradiator. It's used mostly for drying and strengthening adhesive materials. Mira: So, not for toasting your skin to a beautiful tan then.
- Examine the yellow liquid in your inventory:
- Eric: It's a yellow liquid... Lemonade? Mira: ...Are you serious?
- Examine the white liquid in your inventory:
- Eric: It's a white liquid. Q: Do you really grow taller when you drink a lot of milk? Mira: Uh, let's make sure no one tries to drink this accidentally, okay?
- Examine the knife in your inventory:
- Eric: H-Hey, don't point that thing at me! I've got, um, that thing! Belonephobia! Mira: Eric, you know saying big words doesn't make you look smarter, don't you? Q: N-No, Mira! Eric's shrinking into himself!
