The '''Institute of Tchort''' is a location in [[Upper Underrail]], accessible via the orange metro line's University station.

== Description ==
{{expand section}}
The institute used to be a Biocorp University, but it has been expanded and renovated considerably in the past decade of Tchortist occupation.

== Courtyard ==
At the courtyard, there's a very diverse crowd of zoners seeking admission into the Institute.

Notable NPCs:
* [[Efreitor Denzil]]
* [[Praepostor Amelia]] (during your interview)
* [[Rassophore Payam]]

== Offices ==
North section of the Institute contains the offices.

Notable NPCs:
* [[Eidein]]
* [[Episkopos Lydia]]
* [[Praepostor Amelia]]
* [[Provost Vladan]]
* [[Judicator Azarias]]

== East Wing ==
Upper east wing houses the investigation department's science laboratories, lecture halls and preservation department's armory.

Lower east wing houses the sleeping quarters and medical office.

=== Armory ===
The armory is located between east wing and offices. Take the stairs up west of the fountain at east wing main hall or take the eastern stairs down from offices. [[Mediant Samuel]] is the highest-ranking preservation officer in the Institute while the Harmost is visiting Deep Caverns. [[Efreitor Hanna]] is the local armory keeper.

=== Physics Lab ===
The physics laboratory is at the north end of east wing. [[Principal Investigator Schteff|Schteff]] is the principal investigator of this section. [[Investigator Kiro]] is an electronics merchant whose services you can use if you get permission from the principal investigator.

=== Chemistry Lab ===
The chemistry laboratory is at the east end of east wing. [[Principal Investigator Georgis|Georgis]] is the principal investigator of this section. [[Octavia]] is a chemical merchant whose services you can use if you get permission from the principal investigator.

=== Genetics Lab ===
The genetics laboratory is at the south end of east wing. [[Principal Investigator Rista|Rista]] is the principal investigator of this section. [[Investigator Vuk]] is a biology merchant whose services you can use if you get permission from the principal investigator.

=== Lecture halls ===
The halls are mostly quiet and empty. You can meet [[Percival]] from Core City here.

=== Sleeping quarters ===
You bunk and also the Institute's medical office is located here. You can meet your bunkmate [[Lazy Lal]] and the doctor [[Jerre Franz]] here.

== West Wing ==
Upper west wing houses the library. Most of the west wing is abandoned.

Lower east wing houses the refectory and entrance to utility section.

=== Eidein's library ===
The Institute's library dates back to a century, back when the Institute still was a Biocorp University. It has been expanded considerably since. [[Curator Nanna]] can be met in the library.

=== Refectory ===
The refectory is the Institute's canteen and kitchen. [[Theodore]] sells food here.

=== Ruined section ===
{{Main|Institute of Tchort west wing}}
Most of the Institute's west wing has been abandoned and closed off for decades.

== Utility section ==
The utility section is under the Institute. It is accessible from refectory, and with an elevator in [[Eidein]]'s office.

A part of the utility section is forbidden even to most Tchortists. It is possible to sneak in using the hidden ventilation shaft in west wing. Genetic experiments are conducted in this forbidden laboratory, where some of the resulting creatures (called "rejects" by Tchortists) are detained. They can be freed by hacking the computer in the cells corridor (low{{verify}} hacking skill needed), or by finding a key card on one of the scientists in another room. Once the doors are open, rejects need to be directed to the hidden ventilation shaft by talking to the elder, named [[Sharp]], and also mentioning the hole in the west wing as a possible escape route. Once the rejects are moving, they will be attacked on sight by any Tchortist guard, which prevents there escape. It is possible to allow them to escape without revealing yourself to the Tchortists by creating a diversion. West of the cells is another ventilation shaft that leads north to another location in the same zone. Throwing a grenade there, or using a TNT charge, then sprinting back through the shaft to signal the rejects to move should give them just enough time to escape while the guards are investigating the explosion noise. On the other hand, attacking the guards, even stealthily, will turn all Tchortists hostile, since this is a controlled area. There is no quest associated to the rejects, and once they escaped they can't be seen ever again{{verify}}.

== Quests ==
* [[Return the Reaching Man]] and [[Praepostor interview]]: Required to gain entrance to the Institute
* [[Strange tremors]]: Eventually strange tremors start shaking the Institute

While at the Institute, you may work for both the preservation and investigation departments.

* [[Secure Utility Station 7]]
* [[Find missing combat unit in west wing]]
* [[Track down Rassophore Nevil]]

Faceless recon

2016-02-20T19:39:30Z

Youen: added possible option when Buzzer survives

{{Quest Infobox
| name = {{PAGENAME}}
| type = side
| image = Faceless group.png
| location = [[Foundry]]
| givenby = [[Chief]]
| rewards = ? classic XP / 0 oddity XP 100 [[Stygian Coin]]
| related = [[Faceless' stolen object]]
| previous = [[Foundry murders]] or [[Kill Balor]]
| next =
}}

Chief in Foundry wants you to investigate a group of Faceless near Foundry.

== Objectives ==
* Chief wants you to investigate a small group of Faceless that was spotted west of Foundry. Find out why they're there and report to the chief.

== Walkthrough ==
Follow the railroad tracks to west and you'll come up to a cave on the north side of the tracks. The Faceless group is there.

Talking to them reveals they're looking for a special item that was stolen from them and they could use your help. Should you choose the less diplomatic alternative and attack he Faceless group, you won't ever find out why they were there.

If you learnt from [[Buzzer]] that the item they are looking for is in possession of [[Cornell]] ([[Acid Hunters]]), you can tell that to the Faceless, and they'll leave the area (you gain 1 oddity XP immediately, but Chief still rewards you only 100 Stygian Coin).

Once you know what they want, return to Chief for your reward.

Missing merchants

Youen: /* Walkthrough */

{{Quest Infobox
| name = Missing merchants
| type = side
| image = Terry Baker's body.png
| location = [[Core City]] [[Rail Crossing]] [[Lower Underrail caves]]
| givenby = [[Vera Hale]]
| rewards = ? classic XP / 1 oddity XP
| related = [[Look for Cornell]]
| previous = [[Find the drill parts]]
| next =
}}

After returning the drill parts, Tanner mentions that Vera also has work for you.

== Objectives ==
* Vera wants you to find out what happened to merchants Terry and Lora Baker (They were last heard from when they were in Core City and might have stopped by Rail Crossing later).

== Walkthrough ==
You should ask around Core City and Rail Crossing to find out if anyone has seen the Bakers. You can learn what happened to them from [[Gorge]], a train driver at [[Hardcore City Bar]]. You'll first need to talk to [[Gene]] (the barkeeper) about specific people, then ask about Gorge, and only then you can ask Gorge about his driver job. Terry and Lora were attacked by bandits with acid weapons at Rail Crossing train station and dragged to the caves north.

In the caves north of Rail Crossing train station, you'll find the [[Hanging Rat]] bar. Starting from the Hanging Rat, head [[:File:lux-b17.png|east]], [[:File:lux-b14.png|east]], [[:File:lux-b18.png|north]] and then [[:File:lux-b20.png|west]], to find a corpse with [[Terry Baker's Keycard (Caves)|Terry Baker's Keycard]] on it. The keycard is enough evidence of the merchant's demise. You may return it to Vera at this point or continue gathering more clues.

You can find out more about Terry and Lora and the goods they were carrying later on from [[Cornell]] and his Acid Hunters. If you did not return the keycard earlier, you can tell about the Acid Hunters' involvement to Vera when you return the keycard.

You can find [[Lora Baker|Lora]]{{verify}} later, at [[Talos Outpost]] in [[Deep Caverns]].
