CONTROL Resonant Unsupervised Science — All Testing Facilities
Quick answer: Unsupervised Science = shut down 6 FBC Testing Facilities (sewer labs) then finish the Unknown threshold. Testing Facility Broadway is in West Incursion (not Downtown). Downtown facility is usually Testing Facility Reade (east construction / Reach). Counts toward Threshold Researcher. Unofficial companion.
| You searched | Short answer |
|---|---|
| Testing Facility Broadway | West Incursion — storm drain / scaffolding south of House of Mirrors; soda-dispenser puzzle. |
| Downtown testing facility | Testing Facility Reade — east Downtown construction basement (needs Reach). |
| Unsupervised Science | All six facilities + final Unknown threshold → Scrunchie (guides). |
Two puzzle types
- Soda / Thirst Station: Carry shifting objects across yellow floor lines (cycle stove ↔ sink ↔ copier ↔ soda). Place a soda dispenser on every yellow square, then pull the shutdown lever. Tip: use a 3-zone T-intersection to cycle forms.
- Power cores: Pull the lever, then swap charge between red/blue cores before they overload (about a minute). Stagger pairs if the blink timing stacks.
All 6 Testing Facility locations
| Facility | Zone | Entrance / note | Puzzle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reade | Downtown | East construction site basement / sewer (Reach from Lookout Point) | Soda |
| Platt | Central | East of Patterned Factory construction pit | Power cores |
| Broadway | West Incursion | Scaffolding → drain south of House of Mirrors / near pizza; needs Shift | Soda |
| Pearl | Evacuation | Southern tip near Survivalist’s Bunker | Soda |
| Vesey | The Park | NE Park parking garage → sewer | Power cores |
| Dutch | Unknown | SW of central island (drop from Twisted Rooftops NW) | Power cores |
Testing Facility Broadway (detail)
Map marker sits on a surface building — real entrance is underground. Climb wooden scaffolding, drop into the concrete drain, clear enemies, then fill all four yellow squares with Thirst Station dispensers and shut down at the terminal. Vent opens to a reward room (Power Upgrade / research notes in launch guides).
Final threshold
After all six shutdowns, return to the Unknown facility reward room, pull the console lever, navigate the shifting hallway (follow cable / avoid wrong transforms), collect the tape to close Unsupervised Science. Guides list Scrunchie Artifact (+primary form damage). Pairs with Last Taxi for Threshold Researcher mop-up.
