    THE SPECIMENS
    • Your washer fires a highly corrosive chemical spray, not water.
    • Cut a strand and everything past it withers, unless a fusion still feeds it.
    • Kill a core and its whole specimen dies. The dead tissue stays put and still has to be washed off.
    • Tendrils sometimes fruit into new cores.
    • The three colours are rival species. They fight where they meet.
    • The facility is clean when every strand is gone, dead or alive.

    SITE BRIEFING

    Your washer fires a highly corrosive spray. Kill a core and its whole specimen dies, but the dead tissue stays where it fell: wash off every strand, dead or alive, to clear the facility. Three rival species are in here, fighting wherever they meet, and their tendrils sometimes fruit into new cores.
