Space Station Ghost Stories: Vanished Toilet

Listen to Adler's "ghost stories"
📍 Herta Space Station Storage Zone
Sounds like Adler has gotten hold of a new "ghost story." Meet up with Adler at the special spot and ask about the story this time.
I heard you have new ghost stories...
Adler
Yep! The story this time is submitted by a researcher. She's currently writing a novel based on it.
Adler
It was a quiet moment when the lights in the space station suddenly shorted out... and a researcher who had been working overtime for many consecutive nights was walking along the corridors.
Adler
He didn't notice how bizarre the darkness of his surroundings had become, nor did he notice the item looming at the end of the corridor... It was a toilet seat!
Adler
The moment he laid his eyes on the toilet seat, it was as if his brainwaves were hijacked by a third party. And that was how he ended up approaching the toilet seat and... flushed!
Adler
How is it? Is it really creepy?
Options
This is it?
At least try to make it a good story...
Adler
Yep. That's how the submission was written. No real ending. That's why we need to investigate!
Adler
For the last time, this isn't a story I wrote! This is something that happened to another researcher!
Adler
Honestly, I also wanted to know what happens next... so I found the person who submitted it.
Adler
But she said "just go have a try yourself." I want to go, but I'm so busy! So, I told her that my friend would try it for me.
Adler
But then she said, I need to give her the password when I go find her again. I would say "a small toilet seat," and she would answer "a big expectation."
Adler
But I don't have many friends... So please! Please help me!

How should I do this...
Troubled Researcher
If my life keeps going like this, it's gonna be all over...
Options
A small toilet seat?
Troubled Researcher
Huh, who are you? Sorry that you had to see me like this... But you are the first person who actually spoke to me recently.
Troubled Researcher
I seem to be such a mess in my work and personal life, and no one wants to talk to me.
Troubled Researcher
I don't get what you mean by a small toilet seat, but it feels good to have someone listen to me... Thank you, kind stranger.
{NICKNAME}
(That's not the right person, but it seems like I did a good deed. Let's keep looking!)
🏃♂️
MoveSystem
That's the one!
System
It's so effective!
Joyous Researcher
This new product has such awesome effects!
Satisfied Researcher
I bought it too, but mine hasn't arrived yet. Lemme borrow yours for a few days.
Options
A small toilet seat.
Joyous Researcher
What are you mumbling about? Toilet? What toilet?
Satisfied Researcher
Huh? Who are you? You scared me!

(They are probably not who I'm looking for. Let's keep looking.)

I am the rising star!
Researcher in Self-Delusion
Ah! The Aeons must have cast their special blessings upon me, bestowing such extraordinary talents...
Options
A small toilet seat?
Researcher in Self-Delusion
"A big expectation!" Yes, this is the passphrase.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
I'll tell you the rest of that story right now. But be warned, I haven't finalized that part yet, so it may lack a certain level of artistry in expression. Please excuse me.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
*cough* Ahem... I heard the sound of water, then felt my surroundings grow even darker. But I soon realized that it was my sight dimming — Yes, I had fainted, instead of the world having fainted.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
When I woke up again, I was lying in an unfamiliar lab. My terminal was there too. Everything was normal. So, I left that place, and nothing strange happened in the process.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
But I have never seen that mysterious toilet seat again. It seems to have disappeared.
Options
I want to ask...
I think I get it now.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
Mmm, do you have any other questions?
Options
Where did you encounter the toilet seat?
Where was the lab you woke up in?
Any other details?
That's all questions I have.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
I'll send you the exact coordinates later.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
I can tell you exactly where it is, and there's foreshadowing in the story too. Since the terminal's functions were all intact, I could locate that place precisely. Hehe, aren't I meticulous?
Researcher in Self-Delusion
I'll send you the exact location, but there might be people working there. Just be mindful when you go in.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
Details... Maybe it was just really dark? And I felt lightheaded... But those are probably the results of me staying up all night. They aren't details that work as foreshadowing.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
I don't have anything else to say.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
Right, tell Adler that if he finds anything, he needs to let me know first thing.
Researcher in Self-Delusion
I gave him the right to adapt this story. He's gotta give me something in return...

Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
...Don't worry. I'm just testing its gravity sensor system.
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
By the way, who are you? Are you here for this Curio too?
Options
Which Curio is "this Curio"?
Have you seen a mysterious toilet seat?
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
Well, just don't laugh... It's... the toilet seat I was sitting on.
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
...What are you talking about? The thing in front of you is the Curio!
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
Ah, you're here for Experiment 13 as well, right? The Curio that looks like a toilet seat?
Options
Yes. You know what it is?
You've seen it?
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
Right. It was originally a Curio that my department had borrowed.
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
I used to see it in our department every day. There, the thing in front of you is the Curio.
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
My department used to do gravity experiments on it using nano membranes. The original plan was for it to "disappear by being elevated to a higher dimensional world" when it experiences gravity, then "re-appear back into our lower dimensional world."
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
But some careless fool increased the gravitational force in the experiment, and this thing is currently teleporting all over the space station.
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
My whole department is now out on the hunt for this thing, but we can never catch up to it... Luckily, I've found it for now.
Busy Member of the Department of Implement Arts
Well, I should record its data and install a tracking device to make sure I don't lose it again.
{NICKNAME}
(So, this is actually a Curio. Let's note this down and tell Adler.)
Tell Adler the truth
📍 Herta Space Station Storage Zone
The toilet in the "ghost story" is just a byproduct of a Curio experiment. Tell Adler about this discovery!
I found it!
Adler
You've worked hard. Looks like you have some results?
Options
(Tell him what you found.)
Adler
Woah, so it's actually the result of a Curio experiment? Pity I didn't get to see it... Hold on.
Adler
Experiment 13... That name is so familiar... I think I've seen it in my department? In other words, I... I am missing out???
Adler
This is so mean! They are doing experiments without letting me know... *sob*
