Same thing here, but if you're going to do this, then I think you've got
to do it right, and that means starting at the beginning. I will need to
invent something else to put in the lab, though... What's there according
to the adventure (I won't mention it for spoiler reasons) just doesn't
make a lot of sense (to put it politely :)
