ISOR

ISOR is the boss of the Abandoned Laboratory. It is technically a demon, but has been augmented to the point where it is little more than a sentient machine.

ISOR is a reconstructed demon eye about the size of a basketball. It's color spans from yellow to red to violet, with an angry, slitted black pupil. The eye is suspended in a glass canister filled with light blue fluid, with wires and tubes connecting it to various parts of machinery. The canister is located on top of a large metal pillar with four retractable turrets on its perimeter and several observation monitors branching out from it. Four large tubes descend from the ceiling. Two pump nutrients and relaxants into the machine, the other two pump out waste and fluid for filtration and reuse. Tanks above each of the connecting ports store excess if there is any. A keyboard and gauges sit below the contraption, controlling the screens and monitoring ISOR's behavior. Three buttons activate emergency lockdowns for three different experiments, and one large lever releases the unkillable Dark Carbon.

When Project ARMA was still active, side experiments were being held to create races of "war creatures" in a faciity known as the Genetic Alteration Lab (GAL). However, the creatures were so unstable that no standard security system could hold and keep track of them all. The ARMA head scientists took a risk, extracting tissue from a Glaring Eye that was captured from a Hel rift and cryo-stored for future research. They created a living monitor system. The Intelligent Security Observation Retina (ISOR) was born, and carried out its purpose for a few weeks without incident. It kept track of every creature with astonishing efficacy and without error.

However, ISOR was furious about being ripped from its body and remade, and destroyed half of the lab by releasing creatures into the facility. It was quickly sedated using spare relaxant chemicals, and continued to perform sub-optimally under careful watch. ISOR worked under a drugged state until the creation of Dark Carbon, an unkillable, living mass of black diamond. Dark Carbon broke free from containment and consumed every scientist it came across, until the entire lab was vacated and sealed from the outside to prevent it from escaping above ground. Project ARMA was shut down in the ensuing time. With no resupply, ISOR’s sedatives eventually began to run out and it managed to trap Dark Carbon in an endless loop using audio lures. However, ISOR also rebooted the facility, hacking and gaining control of all machinery and continuing the inhumane experiments below. It severed the relaxant tube, spilling out the last of the chemicals that had been hindering it for so long. Now in full capacity again, ISOR sent about creating and releasing the Elemalgamate, Augemon, and Quicksilver, hoping to break through the seal and release the experiments in a final revenge plot.
