Head inside and talk to the person in charge here, Valentina Gurov. She'll tell you they're always looking for workers so you can start immediately.
Put on the Xenofresh Clean Suit

Talk to Valentina Gurov
Speak to her again, and she'll tell you she'll let you do a trial shift on the first batch.
Start Your Shift
Hit the switch on the production machine to start your shift. Producing Aurora has three parts:
- Grab Materials from the Ingredient Hopper.
- Produce Raw Aurora at Pharmaceutical Lab.
- Deposit Materials at the Assembly Hopper.
Repeat this thrice for a full shift.
Time is of the essence, as you'll only have a minute to produce each batch for 900 Credits each. If you take longer than a minute or mess up, she'll dock your pay. If you take over 90 seconds, she'll have you start over again.
Get Ingredients from the Ingredient Hopper
The Ingredient hopper will give you a bunch of materials, but the ones you need are:
- Chasmbass Oil
- Hallucinogen x2
- Stimulant
You must grab only the specific materials you need from the transfer window. Otherwise, your pay gets cut from 900 Credits to 400 Credits, no matter how fast you are.
Craft Aurora at the Pharmaceutical Lab
Head to the Pharmaceutical Lab on the left and produce one piece of Aurora.
Deposit Aurora at the Assembly Hopper
Run to the assembly hopper and deposit the Aurora you produced through the transfer window.
Manufacture Three Doses of Aurora
Return to the Ingredient Hopper and repeat this process three times to complete one shift.
