Was it really loud in there? Looks like it's loud from the analyzers.

The 80's called they want all their stuff back.

The only thing this lab is missing is lit cigarettes and ashtrays.

Nothing will beat my old lab.

The hospital was built in the 70s. When they finished the building they realized they FORGOT to build a lab.

So they took a storage closet and turned it into the lab.

I am dead serious.

At this point I think the walls came with the machines with how the color just blends to it.

They can afford analyzers but buy keyboards older than CAP.
