MIDDLE DUNGEONS LEVEL FOUR 68 VAT CONTROL CENTER.

68 VAT CONTROL CENTER. The walls are lined with metal machinery. In the center of the room is a smooth white metallic dome with pipes and wires sticking out of it going to the floor and ceiling. Next to the dome is a metal box about the size of a lunchbox on a four foot high pole. It has a slot to accept the cards from Rooms 44, 53, and 67.

Placing a card within the slot reader will cause the metal dome machine to begin creating a vat creature specified on the card. The pipes will start pulsing and throbbing as they feed in vat media and electrical surges. After about a turn, the dome will split revealing the vat creature. For creatures whose statistics depend on their creator, the creator is the person who placed the card in the slot. Explanations given are based on the assumption that the creator adopts the vat creature. Unless noted below, creatures created in this way become the followers of their creator, actually viewing them as a parent.

Horrid Mistake
What crawls forth is horribly altered or came out too soon. It is either a mess of slimy tissue or an amalgamation of mismatched body parts. It crawls forth, whispers 'Rosebud', and dies.
