Testing Station 2 is a medium Eco Lab found in Hagga Basin South, with standard eco lab loot. Originally this was a Botanical testing station, with the purpose of [PURPOSE]. Since the testing station was long abandoned by the botanists, it has been used as a shelter for various Scavenger groups. At one point, the scavengers accidentally unleashed a Tleilaxu bio agent, wreaking havoc for the inhabitants. The final boss is a particularly brutish subject of the bio agent, equipped with a Shield.
Location
Scavengers had set up camp outside of the testing station, however it has since been deserted. Various debris of machinery and vehicles lies scattered outside, and several corpses line the entrance.

Lore
The original testing sation's purpose to [PURPOSE] has long since been abandoned as it has been home to many generations of scavengers stashing and sorting their loot. At one point, a pair of scavengers, Collins and Omar, returned from a scavenging trek (possibly around Broken Stone Station) with a Tleilaxu satchel of mysterious vials and opened them, not knowing they contained a bio agent which subsequently infected the scavengers.
The bio agent appears to induce paranoia and hallucinations - driving many victims violent and attacking other scavengers. The testing station is now littered with the bodies of it's former inhabitants who were either killed by the bio agent or mutilated by the infected.
The Tleilaxu are aware of the vials and have been issuing contracts for their return to Master Bijaz

Recordings
Scavengers have left several recordings around the facility:
Tape 1
The first tape is at the top of the stairs near the entrance.
Collins has been acting real strange since finding that corpse with the Tleilaxu satchel. I don't trust him. Keep an eye out next time you're out on a salvage run. If he starts acting weird, dart him!
Tape 2
The second tape is on the side of an early round room.
I see... I thought I could trust Druse, but I know now that he's part of the plot. Eh? I heard the worms out in the desert whispering to him last night - and the bastard whispered back! He did, he did, he did... They're all in league against me. All of them!
Tape 3
The third tape is on the left in the next room, next to a few mutilated corpses
Who you leaving these messages for, eh? It's for the worms, innit? Yeah, the worms! Oh, yeah. Your belly, it was full of worms...big red, ropey worms. But I let 'em out! Didn't I?
Tape 4
The fourth tape is on a table in a side loot room.
DON'T SLEEP! THAT'S WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU! Low on darts. DON'T SLEEP! THEY'RE WATCHING! Find a knife! Or maybe a hammer? Either would be good, but both is better. JUST DON'T SLEEP! DON'T SLEEP! DON'T SLEEP!
Tape 5
The fifth tape is in the lower level below the previous loot room, in a dark area.
Beneath the hill where the fox runs lightly, A dappled sun shines brightly... where the fox runs lightly... You can't hide from me little bird! Where are you? Beneath the hill in the fennel break... I spy my love... who can not wake... Go away! GO AWAY! Ah, there's the little bird! Gotcha!
Tape 6
The sixth tape is in the final boss room, next to the Mysterious Vials, not left by a scavenger, but 'UNKNOWN'. Likely a Tleilaxu agent.
Once the Beast has made his selection, return the remaining items to Bijaz at once. Exercise all due caution in the handling of these items, as the bio-agents contained within are unstable and may prove extremely hazardous
Tape 7
The seventh tape is in the final boss room. Possibly left by the boss himself.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yes, Yes...so then he comes in here saying "Hey, Boss, what's that weird smell?" That weird smell, just like that he does! Just like that, yeah! An' then he says "What's wrong with the plants in here? They look sick. Maybe we should trim 'em back". That's what he said! He said that! Those exact words! That's what he said! He said trim 'em back! TRIM 'EM BACK! Oh yeah, yeah! So you know what I did, you know what i did? I trimmed HIM back. I trimmed him back REAL good!
Tape 8
The eighth tape is in the loot room after the final boss. It appears to be left by an earlier scavenger before things went to pot.
Collins and Omar, from Broken Land trek: Two dunemen stillsuits - full of holes, stained, sun-bleached - junked. One Atreides House Trooper rucksack - serviceable - Omar will keep. One Tleilaxu made satchel with several vials - opened a vial but it was empty, smelled bad - junked Three thumpers - fair to poor condition - sell in Windsack.
