         of appropriate fields of study throughout BioLand.

Functions: Primary: A teaching aid. To demonstrate the typical steps of a
                    scientific investigation and uses in Real Life.
         Secondary: Orientation aid. To introduce players to examples of
                    the facilities available within BioLand, their rooms 
                    and usage.

Working example: To diagnose, locate, map, clone, analyse, characterise
                 and cure a genetic disease.
