Clouded
Vault keeper
Everything stashed by Clouded, in whatever state it was left in.
Silver Dev Studios — Sanctioned experiments division
Random projects with no business purpose, made by people who refuse to shelve an idea. No roadmap, no guarantees, no reason required.
Specimen storage — Lab vaults
Every vault is a corner of the lab owned by one operator. They stock it with whatever they feel like. It is their mess.

Vault keeper
The dragoncy slot. Contents rumored to breathe occasionally.
Vault keeper
The nyx drawer. Nobody in the lab knows for sure what lives here.
Vault keeper
The Phantom holding pen — a learner's corner of the lab. Ideas brewed here graduate to big projects.
Standing orders — Lab protocols
Anything in SDS Labs may not have a reason why it was made. That is acceptable. Projects may be deleted, or they may simply never change again.
Lab projects are side projects. They are not treated as big projects by SDS and are made for no particular reason — so they update when someone feels like it, not before.
If a project is actively used and the community wants more of it, it gets promoted: separated from SDS Labs and graduated into a real Silver Dev Studios product.
Specimen progression — Lab lifecycle
Someone in the studio has an idea with no business case. It lands in a lab vault.
The idea either collects dust or collects users. Both outcomes are valid.
If the community actively uses it, it graduates into a standalone SDS product and leaves the lab forever.
If it stays ignored, it is archived or quietly deleted. Missing specimens are not investigated.
Field instrument
Wave a sample in front of the analysis bench. Results are generated live and mean absolutely nothing.
