Protodermis Labs

Ga-Metru is known for two things: its schools and Protodermis Labs. As such the schools would teach students the process of purification. Almost everyday the students would go to a nearby Protodermis lab and learn about its facilities. Teachers and students were able to experiment with Protodermis, if they were lucky enough, and sometimes sent samples of their results to Ko-Metru. The labs themselves strove for more efficiency to use and purify Protodermis. They even tried to synthesize Energized Protodermis itself.

Visitors to the Labs could briefly observe work in the labs through large windows, though were prohibited from entering the chambers themselves. This was for the safety of students as wells as the observers, and was enforced by the Vahki.

Toa Nokama traveled here shortly after her transformation into a Toa Metru. She was searching for Vhisola, but discovered the Labs to have been ransacked by Nidhiki. The Dark Hunter had stolen Vhisola's research notes, hoping to discover the location of the Ga-Metru Great Disk. Nokama found a broken tablet in the mess and reassembled it, to find that it had the code to Vhisola's home's safe.

When the Great Cataclysm occurred, all the protodermis in the labs spilled out. It was abandoned when the Matoran moved to Mata Nui, and presumably reactivated when they returned to Metru Nui. The labs were repaired by the Staff of Artahka.

The labs were abandoned when the Matoran evacuated to Spherus Magna.
