Mester Throng

"I am Mester Throng. And I know what you are because I am a scientist from Codo 5! I am on an important research expedition in this sector to record anomalies and rarities."

- Mester Throng

Mester Throng is a male K'nos scientist from Codo 5, and is on a research expedition in the Demilitarized Zone, primarily researching Extraplanetary Lifeforms.

Missions
Throng gives many tasks to the player, which all involve scanning various lifeforms, in return for credits. Every time the player finishes a task, Throng will also ask a strange question related to being a clone. For information on each lifeform and how to find them, see the Extraplanetary Lifeforms article.

Services
Throng also offers two main services to the player: he sells crafting blueprints for equipment only present in the Encounters expansion, which are paid for with Viridian Energy; and modifications. The modifications service has three main functions:
 * 1) Enhance: The selected primary weapon will get enhanced and receive random stat bonuses. (Cost: 3 Viridian Energy)
 * 2) Remove mods: All mods will be removed from the selected piece Of equipment. (Cost: 1 Viridian Energy)
 * 3) Re-Engineer: All currently installed mods will be removed from the selected piece of equipment and three random ones will be installed. (Cost: 2 Viridian Energy)

Achievements

 * Completing all of Throng's tasks will award the "Weird Science" achievement.
