Novel-only research destination

The Ann Arbor research site is a Broken Dawn location, not a confirmed playable game space. It matters because the novel's published antiviral lead becomes a target for competing groups. [1][2]

Contested lead

The novel's source-specific conflict puts the research site at risk from a Mantis-directed operation. That does not identify the handler's organization or convert the location into a confirmed Black Tusk facility. [3]
