Lab Rat

Lab Rat is a neutral creature found in the Facilities. They begin to appear in the facility (most notably the Office Sector) as the player progress.

Charged with the noble but corrupting task of assessing the anomalies and aberrations seized by their organization from its enemies, Inquisitors are one of the most essential yet mistrusted elements of the Order's ancient apparatus. -Compendium

Behavior

The Lab Rat can be seen in various parts in the facility, observing or searching for something. In contrast to other Order soldiers, the Lab Rat will flee rather engage combat but sometimes will attempt to fight back in a pinch.

Like other Order soldiers the Lab Rat will attack out of self-defense against non-Order enemies.

Combat

Unlike most enemies the Lab Rat will flee, hence it is best to either sneak at it from behind and use a powerful weapon to kill him. The Lab Rat will occassially attempt to fight back with a single, powerful swipe attack with their scanner that can be dodged. Be note that the Lab Rat is emitting radiation that a player not using any type of radiation protecting gear will eventually causes get a radiation status.

While fleeing away, the player can track his location by observing the radiation particles.
