Background

Arctic BioSystems, owned by Ilaria Corporation, was a research facility located in the Arctic. It was the location of an unknown accident. It was destroyed on Day 13.

Appearances

Features

Energy Generation:
- Solar Thermal Energy Collector - Reflects heat radiation from the Sun to a central tower via mirrors.
- Wind Turbines - Pressures from the wind move the blades, rotating magnets around copper coils (or visa versa, creating alternating currents (AC).

Miscellaneous:
- Surface Parameter Detectors (over 100 feet)
- Head Storage (Dr. Hvit, Constants Sutton, and, though not a head, Narvik Virus)
- The base originally had 1 hour of satellite time each day, until this avenue of communication was destroyed by Sergio Balleseros.

Labs

Animals:
- Rats (Narvik Virus test subjects.)
- Monkeys (Population completely infected with Narvik Virus. Fled from Arctic BioSystems. Frozen on the surface a distance outside of the facility, then burned as a means to hide facts.)
