Comments
Probably refers to "vanilla" mutagen, or less likely, the substance known as "blob glob" in game?
Wording implies PE012 is both something that was sampled, but then it also refers to the extracted purifier.
Lab Notes
At least 4 lab notes reference PE012:
We were able to isolate what we believe to be re-adapted XE037 from subject T3D's cadaver. Transdimensionally sourced XE037 is not isolated, but this post-mutagenic, post-revivification stuff seems to obey local physical laws a bit more. We can pick it up on spectroscopy, but it has comparable physical properties to the samples of XE037 we obtained \"abroad\". Samples of the enhanced XE037, labeled PE012, have been sent to several researchers for further study.
Both PE012 and PE018 show great stability. A subject was exposed to both substances, alternating between the mutagen and the purifier. Ultimately, the subject returned to baseline state with no apparent side effects aside from disorientation and pain.
Our chemical department has made great strides in the production of a concentrated mutagen, derived from samples of PE012. They still can't tell us how it works, but brass has okayed experimentation anyway. I love working here.
Dr. Hofstadter has manufactured an improved version of PE018 by combining with PE012 outside the subject, then administering the mixture through a topical injection to a specific area of mutation. This has been denoted PE019. Other labs have so far been unable to reproduce the process.
Books
The book chemical reference-CLASSIFIED has the following description:
This somewhat technical binder has several intimidating security warnings on the cover, yet guarantees unauthorized readers "permanent employment, for life". It contains useful information on "basic" chemical projects like methamphetamine and heroin, along with briefing on things called "XE037" and "PE012".",
Other Mentions
There are two terrain tiles named for PE012: Advanced PE012 Samples and PE012 Storage.
