Opticalium's Lab banner during the event

Event start: Lab Assistant: Chief, chief! We have a problem of epic proportions.; Zebb: Is it the synthesizer matrix again? I told them to set it to three degrees!; Lab Assistant: It's not that this time! This is different. Inquest agents are approaching.; Zebb: If it isn't one thing, its another. Alert the krewe.; Inquest Agent Irro: Opticalium, we are taking over this operation in the name of the Inquest! Leave now, without your research, and no harm will come to you.; Zebb: Abandon our research to you reprobates? To the care of inferior intellects and imaginations? I would rather lose a few brain cells.; Lab Assistant: I'm reassured when the worst thing to come out of an Inquest agent's imagination is murder.

Event success: Lab Assistant: All safe and secure, chief.; Zebb: That was closer than I prefer. The Inquest is threatened by our research.; Lab Assistant: We give them good reason to feel that way.; Zebb: Let's put this transgression behind us. Resume research immediately.

Event failure: Zebb: Unacceptable! Where's my dermabraso device when I need it?; Lab Assistant: In there, with the Inquest agents.; Zebb: I know that, you idiot!
