Game Instructions: Better Equipment and higher Scholar of the Correspondence will improve the rewards here. You will always receive at least some research.

Success

Well, then...

Fully-formed research – partial proofs, theorems, references, conjectures, ideas – arrives at your laboratory, wrapped in brown paper and thrown over the transom. All of the material is at least interesting. Some is fascinating.

• Watchful is increasing…
•  You've gained 1 x Unexpected Result
•  You've gained (see below) x Laboratory Research

The gain is logistic with ASotC as the input and scaled by Equipment:

${\frac {\mathrm {Eq} }{9}}\times \left[5+{\frac {35}{1+e^{-{\frac {1}{2}}\cdot (\mathrm {ASotC} -12)}}}\right]$

Rare Success

Well, then...

Fully-formed research – partial proofs, theorems, references, conjectures, ideas – arrives at your laboratory […] All of the material is at least interesting. Some is fascinating. And here – this handwritten note is downright alarming.

• Watchful is increasing…
•  You've gained 1 x Unwise Idea
•  You've gained (see formula above) x Laboratory Research

Failure

Regrets

Your secretive collaborators respond with prolific, if unorganized, thoughts. Some of which you might wish you hadn't read.

• Watchful is increasing…
•  Nightmares is increasing… (+2 CP)
•  You've gained (8 + Equipment) x Laboratory Research
