Once this research is finished The Madness of Alexander Danchev text appears:

While analyzing the Arthron exoskeleton biochemistry we recovered the notes of Alexander Danchev, a Phoenix scientist who became obsessed with bio-engineering an armored suit made from Arthron derived chitin. He constantly referred to revelations that came from his dreams, and he began to alienate his colleagues with his weird behavior. Randolph Symes eventually banned him from this line of research. Unfortunately, his madness consumed him and he fled Phoenix Point with valuable lab equipment.

Danchev's files contain encrypted plans for an expedition to a "Pandoran mutation center" located through his dreams. We can attempt to decipher his files and get the location.

Decrypt the files

We managed to pinpoint a location, and we should send a squad to investigate. It's a longshot, but given what we now know about Pandoran mutations, Danchev might have been on to something.

Catacombs of Despair mission

Mission Briefing: We have found some kind of Pandoran colony strewn with Arthron remains. There is an abondoned Scarab outside. Enter the tunnels.

Mission: It is a Nest mission and you need to Secure area (aka kill all).

After mission: Alexander Danchev was certainly here, but he must have left in a hurry. There are abandoned items in a chamber, including a remarkable armored suit. It is actually a mutated, living organism bio-engineered using some unknown technology. It still seems "alive" and functional. Take everything useful we can find.

Not only have we recovered the living armor, but we have found another location that Danchev might have visited.
