The Laboratory, colloquially referred to as "The Lab," is the Spiral Order's research and development facility located in the Garrison district of Haven.
Description
The Laboratory is where the Spiral Order's biotechs work, alongside various researchers and Battle Sprite specialists. The Lab has limited power, relying on a barely capable backup generator salvaged from the crashed Skylark.
Points of Interest
- Alchemy Machine: Located in the Northern area of the lab.
- Sprite Food Alchemy Machine: Located in the West area of the Lab near Biscotti.
- The Artifact you got from Razwog: Located at the North of the Lab - stolen later in the Rank 4-2 Mission: "A New Threat." No longer in the lab after this mission.
Denizens
Not all of these characters are located in the laboratory at all times! Some only show up after certain Rank Missions are completed, or during certain missions.

Notes
The Laboratory was "up and running" with these patch notes, along with Battle Sprites. Before this patch, the Lab was an area under construction that could not be entered. It was mentioned in these patch notes.
As of these patch notes, the lab's appearance now changes if the player has completed certain Rank Missions.
Like other areas on Cradle, the lab is a location with sub locations as time goes on. On the loading screen, "Laboratory: The Lab" might seem redundant, but this flexibility is needed considering Cradle as a whole - see the 4-2 Rank Mission A New Threat for a different loading screen to the same location, which says "A New Threat: The Lab." This indicates that entities of interest are located in "The Lab" - a specific floor or location in an overall area, while titles like "Laboratory" refer to the entire area, structure (or "building"), mission, and so on.
Gallery
Here are some screenshots of objects and characters you might see in the Lab:
The laboratory before the 2014-05-21 patch.
With all Rank Missions completed, the player might see these things in the lab:
West Area The Drakon type of Battle Sprite seems to be getting some attention. Some basic Sprites are to the left.
Center Area Various Boss components ("Boss Trophies") are being studied in front of the Skylark's backup generator. Biscotti and the Sprite Food Alchemy Machine are to the left.
East Area Research on Almire is being done here via Owlite texts and Nature Sprite anecdotes. A Recon Ranger fiddles with things to the right.
Middle-Northern Area This path leads North. A bell used to stun enemies in the Gloaming Wildwoods can be seen. An Alchemy Machine stands nearby.
North Area The Artifact has been stolen. Some minerals are being studied up here by Geoknights.
