Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Start and complete the data retrieval test, by finding the records on the three terminals in the fake high school.
 * 2) Go to the terminal on the table and read its contents.
 * 3) Start and finish the advanced test, this is where you recieve the ability to disable force fields with the Sonic Emitter - Revelation.
 * 4) Now, go to the terminal that is found when you follow a series of hallways that diverge from the way to exit. You know your in the right place when you're in an observation booth above Gabes lair.
 * 5) Read contents of that terminal.
 * 6) After this, the quest marks a spot outside the X-8 facility. Travel there to find the key to open the kennel door.
 * 7) Open the kennel door and switch the Cyberdogs with the new specimens.
 * 8) Go through both the advanced and basic test again. Now Nightstalkers will attack you.
 * 9) Go to one last terminal marked on your map to see the data results and finish the quest.

Bugs

 * After initiating the "Institutional Data Retrieval Test (Basic)" and choosing the "Unusual Specimen" option from Kennel Terminal, do not continue initiating "Release Cyberdogs". This will make "Unsual Specimen" from the list quest to be completed by turning the "Institutional Data Retrieval Test" & "Unusual Specimen" both uncompleted with the quest unfinished. The bug appears to come from the map-marker as it doesn't move from Kennel Terminal to the X-8 Test Terminal after "Unusual Specimen" is chosen confusing the player by the map-marker. Initiating only "Unusual Specimen" option, go to the X-8 Test Terminal to start the Basic Test and Advanced Test as well, then the quest will be finished.
 * After releasing the "Unusual Specimens" and starting the "Institutional Data Retrieval Test (Basic)/(Advanced)" the terminals to retrieve the student records will not appear causing the player to be trapped and the rendering the quest impossible to complete. Renabling the terminals via the console will allow the quest to be completed. To do this use the following series of commands; "prid xx00e0e2","enable","unlock" repeat this for xx00e0e3, and xx00e0e4 the xx should be replaced by the position of OldWorldBlues.esm from your load order.
 * This bug doesn't make the quest to fail, but it can go to an infinite loop of finished/unfinished quest pop-ups.
